Well, the answer is as simple as the question. BECAUSE I HATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU! I have always been the loner, and a loner I shall remain! I have NEVER needed anyone. Yet...others seem to flock around me. Well...NO MORE! It's time for The Raven to be himself again! Cheer me...don't cheer me...DO WHATEVER YOU FUCKING WANT!

KIEFER: He came in moments after you left Al.
SNOW: Wha...
Al looks at Unabomb and slaps him! Unabomb looks pissed off and pushes Al up against a wall. Matt Doyle and Kiefer Sutherland try to pull him off, and Unabomb lets go. He stares at Al, who offers a shaking hand. Unabomb shakes hands and walks off towards the building.
KIEFER: Jesus...
DOYLE: Al, you REALLY shouldn't do that!
SNOW: SHIT! He's got one tight hand shake...Ow!
KIEFER: Doesn't seem like Raven got to him any. Lets get inside and see if we can find Unabomb.

Rating: *** 1/4
In a large room, we see the draw for the OTT event in progress. First in is Unabomb. He takes one look at his number and laughs. He walks out and is greeted by Commissioner Kiefer. Taz takes a number and looks pissed off. Robbie Brookside walks in and takes a number. He smiles and leaves. The innovators move in and take numbers, instead of looking though, they swap numbers. Kanyon isn't happy, and so swaps back. He then says "HEY! I want that one back! This one's worse!"

<CUT TO THE PARKING LOT>
Under a tree is Raven.
RAVEN: Ken Shamrock, this first warning  goes to you. At Over The Top 2003, I will be going in to take you apart. I will stop at NOTHING to take you out. Should you win however, it does not matter. You see, I have plans. BIG plans. They involve you Kiefer. You see, I have a theory that needs to be...tested. And if I am correct, then I will be taking over your role. Quote The Raven. Nevermore.
<CUT TO THE HEAD OFFICES>
KIEFER: Son of a bitch...what the hell is he up to?
DOYLE: Who knows. I wouldn't worry about him. To be commissioner, i'd have to appoint him in that role. I don't see that happening, do you?
---Kiefer' cell phone rings---
KIEFER: Yeah, hello...hello? DAMNIT!
---Kiefer hangs up---
KIEFER: It was Shamrock again.

SNOW: Hey Unabomb...Unabomb? Una...HEY!

SNOW: Well look at that! (pointing out the window)
