'Hurricane' by Thrice hits the sound system... and the fans hit their feet for the returning Oncoming Storm as she emerges from the back, gift bag in hand. Pausing at the top of the ramp, Erin Gordon actually cracks a bit of a smile at the OCW welcome. Making her way down to the ring, she ascends the steps and ducks beneath the top rope to climb inside. As her music fades, Gordon silently carries her contribution to the middle of the ring, placing it next to the large box left behind by Veronica Strader before taking up a corner, leaning back against the turnbuckle as stormy eyes flicker from face, to face, to face.
~Welsh inspects Erin's gift, nodding~
Marcus Welsh: Opulently wrapped, Miss Gordon...I'd expect nothing less. You see? Gentlemen, DO YOU SEE?
~Welsh points at Strader and Gordon~
Marcus Welsh: These two brought actual gifts...wrapped...and placed them in the center of the ring...where they belong. What did you guys do?
~He points at Curt~
Marcus Welsh: You're holding a tiny bag like your life depends on it.
~He points at Dylan, then Gregory the Elephant~
Marcus Welsh: You brought a damn Elephant.
~He points at Tony~
Marcus Welsh: And...don't even get me started on you.
~Welsh shakes his head. Gregory makes that REEEEEARRRRRR noise and squirts water from it's trunk at Welsh, hitting him in the face. The arena laughs~

~Outcast comes out. He's being escorted by the same two females from earlier. It appears he's sobered up a bit since earlier...but he's still a little worse for wear. He's got a brown box in hand...not wrapped or anything...just your standard cardboard box. He tosses it over the top rope...it hits the mat, bounces around, and comes to rest next to Erin and Veronica's gifts. Outcast throws his arms in the air...WHAT A TOSS. The fans go wild~
Marcus Welsh: Outcast...happy to see you made it. Now...where the hell is ZYBALA
~We cut to the OCW Studio for one final announcement~
Cheasy M: Cheasy M here...and while we wait on Zybala to appear...I'm breaking in with news on the final match announcement for Access Denied.
~The camera cuts. Cheasy adjusts~
Cheasy M: Ed Houston returned to championship glory at Death March by surviving Sub Zero conditions to become a three time Craze Champion. Houston's OCW resume continues to ascend, reaching near Hall of Fame level...the only item...and its a massive one...missing from his portfolio is the OCW Championship. A win at Access Denied would bring Ed one step closer to achieving that goal. Houston also nailed down the award for Charismatic Wrestler of the Year this evening.
~The camera cuts. Cheasy adjusts~
Cheasy M: You're probably asking...who could step up and challenge Ed Houston? All the other names are booked, right? WRONG. There is someone left capable of pushing Ed to the limit. Someone WORTHY of capturing the Craze Title. If Ed wants to eventually make it into the OCW Hall of Fame...he's going to have to compete at a Hall of Fame level...which means defeating Hall of Famers...and that starts on January 30th at Access Denied as he will attempt to defend his Craze Title against...PERZAG.
Cheasy M: Ed Houston against PerZag at Access Denied for the Craze Championship! What a match!
~The camera cuts. Cheasy adjust~
Cheasy M: And there you have it, folks. The full lineup for Access Denied...six championship caliber match ups. Now, let's take you back to ringside to see if Zybala is going to show up for the White Elephant Exchange!
: Dream Weaver hits the speakers and Zybala comes running out, pushing a huge cart with the wrapped box from before. He runs down the ramp and stops before the box hits the ring. Zybala then grabs a smaller box from behind the big one and slides in the ring. He gives the gift to Welsh who take it, confused. Zybala says it's for him and the general manager opens the present with great joy. In the box is an expensive bottle of Scotch and a variety of snacks and goodies that I reminiscent of what Zybala brought Marcus in the hospital. :

~Welsh is very moved and appreciative of the gift. But he's got to get his game face on. So he composes~
Marcus Welsh: That was mighty nice of you, Mike. And thanks for making it.
~Welsh looks at Veronica~
Marcus Welsh: Alright, my precious Vee. You're up...pick a gift. Any gift.
~Veronica looks around the ring at the OCW talent, and looks over at the elephant. She shrugs and picks up Outcast's plain unwrapped box.~
Veronica: Hmm... I'll take the handsome World Champion's box.
~Welsh claps and urges Vee to open it~
Marcus Welsh: Let's all see what our great World Champion and Wrestler of the Year brought us!
~Veronica pulls the crudely taped box apart. She looks inside and pauses. Her eyes widen...she reaches inside and removes a giant dildo. Everyone gasps. Except Outcast, he's heard howling on the outside, being propped up by the two females~
Outcast: That's so you all can go fuck yourselves! Ahahaha
~Welsh's eyes narrow~
Marcus Welsh: Damnit, Outcast!
~He turns to Veronica~
Marcus Welsh: Don't worry, Vee. You'll have a chance to grab a different gift after everyone's finished their turn. Okay...so who's next...oh yea...
