Our story begins on the first Friday Night Fisticuffs of March, four weeks away from Rustlemania, the biggest event of the year. El Woolio is backstage, preparing for his match. He realises that he has left his lucky Hulk doll in the locker room. Before every match, as part of his usual ritual, Woolie rubs the doll for luck, and it rarely does him wrong. He heads back to the locker room to pick it up. However, as he enters, he discovers the doll has been shattered to pieces, broken completely beyond repair. Distraught, Woolie cannot compete in his match, prompting a quick replacement.
Every night for the next week, Woolie is plagued with nightmares. He is in a black void. The only other entity present with him in this void is the Hulk doll. "Woolie... Why didn't you save me, Woolie?" it asks. He reaches out, but it quickly fades away like Inafune. Woolie swears to avenge the Hulk doll.
On week two's episode of Fisticuffs, Woolie is on the warpath. He storms around backstage, beating down scrubs, demanding answers. Eventually, he is called to the ring by the one claiming to be the culprit: Rage. Woolie confronts Rage and is easily defeated. Rage tells Woolie he'll be waiting for him at Rustlemania. Defeated, Woolie returns backstage. Rising Superstar Uncenable approaches and Woolie confides that he can't defeat Rage and that the Hulk doll will forever go unavenged.
Uncenable takes Woolie to a local gym, bangs on a bit of Mick Gordon and Woolie is inspired by the story of his hero, TJ Combo, to build himself back up from nothing. Woolie trains tirelessly until the fourth Fisticuffs, the final episode before Rustlemania that Sunday. He returns to the show and easily dispatches one of Rage's minions. Mr. McMuscles, C.E.O. of the Zaibatsu Wrestling Federation, approaches the ring with contracts, which the two ebony goliaths sign, locking down their match at the pay-per-view.
And so, having a firm grasp of hype culture, Mr. McMuscles moves the title match up to allow the El Woolio vs Rage grudge match to headline Rustlemania. The match is intense, vicious, brutal. Woolie is pushed to his absolute limits, but somehow, someway, he manages to pull through and gets the three count on Rage, to the thunderous elation of the Montreal crowd. And thus, Woolie is able to lay the Hulk doll's restless spirit to rest.
One would think our tale ends here, but there is one thing that remains to be explained. Why did Rage take the time to sneak into the locker room and destroy a toy? Why would he dedicate a whole month of his existence to targeting Woolie?
You see, dear reader, Rage is not a man - he is a force of nature; a malevolent, ephemeral entity not bound to a single body. Rage's current body was at the end of its tenure and he was in desperate need of a replacement. This was where Woolie came in. Rage saw the potential in Woolie. This is why he did what he did. He aimed to fill Woolie's heart with both hate and a drive to improve. To achieve retribution, Woolie pushed himself beyond any limit Rage's current host possessed. As his body lay broken in the ring, the Rage of Africa transferred his essence into Woolie's body. With the soul transfer complete, Rage takes full control and transforms Woolie into his final, terrifying form: The Black Super Predator.
