It's almost 7 PM…almost time to go on the air. Some of the wrestlers walked around backstage, others were seated by the monitors watching the action taking place before the televised version starts. It looked like a nearly sold out crowd. Most of the show went as planned so far. They had just started the introductions of the legends. Steven got up & started pacing backstage. He was dressed in a suit & wearing sunglasses, he was looking almost like a caged animal fighting to get out. Luger walked towards him, he stepped in front of him placing his hands on Sting's shoulders. Of course this caused Sting to stop in his tracks.
"Steve what is it…I rarely seen you this tense." A stagehand comes over to them.
"Sting sir...you're up."
"You'll see in a few moments Lex." Sting calmly told him as he turned heading for the entrance ramp to await his queue.

In the arena the legends just left. The Announcer just was getting ready to call the next match when Bischoff comes out past Sting from the back a microphone in his hand as he makes his way to the ring.
"Excuse me everyone…before we go on with the next match, I wish to make a little announcement…Just a moment of your time." He was in the ring at this point. "First off I need to bring someone else out here…the one, the only…the man…STING."

Cheer erupts throughout the crowd. As Sting's music starts up he walks out from the back. Rose's eyes widened wondering what was going on. As the cheers begin to calm down some, there was still murmurs running through out the crowd that kind of voiced what Rose was thinking. Bischoff starts again.
"Well Sting, I called you out here tonight because I wished to correct a great mistake that was done to you when you faced the Ravishing One."
Boos & hisses spread through the lower level of the arena. Rose was just leaning on the seat in front of her just trying to listen. Luckily it was empty so she was not bothering anyone. Plus she could sit & still see what was going on. Sting just stood there listening to Bischoff as he went on.

"Well the commissioner & the rest of the match committee decided to review the tapes of the match…After much consideration & the following proof…" Bischoff motions to the main screen where of course everyone looks to see the title match between String & Ravishing Rick Rude, right at the point where Rude runs The Stinger into the stairs & then the pin where Rude had a firm grip on Stings tights for the pin. The video then fades, with Sting & the audience now focusing back at Bischoff.

"Well Sting as you and everyone clearly saw Rude cheated. He has been disqualified. So Sting…" Bischoff walks to the side of the ring, where an assistant hands him the belt as he walks back toward Sting. As he holds the belt out. "With our apologies we would like to recrown you the WCW Heavyweight Champion." The crowd goes wild over this, Rose was among them. 'There is no way this is really happening…' She thought she had to still be dreaming…but no, it was real as she watched Sting motion to the crowd causing them to calm some waiting to hear Sting reply to the apology.
"Eric…I don't deserve the title back…but I do deserve to fight for it tonight in a match…"

"OK…fine…if your gear is here head back & get ready…your opponent tonight will be…Vader." Sting turned & walked out of the ring heading for the back, he headed directly for his locker room.
Opening the door Lex was already inside waiting. "So that was the big surprise? You knew you were getting called out & if you played things right you would fight Vader tonight?"
"That's bout what it breaks down to…it was that or the cheap way out , just take the belt & refuse a match tonight…But that wouldn't have been right to the fans. They paid for a title match & they will get one." Walking over he grabs a garment bag from a hook & walks into the next room closing the door as he began to change.

"Steven you're nuts…I know you had almost no training for this and we both know Vader is a bully in & out of the ring. He won't care about angles or anything else…He was meant to win against Rude tonight. Something is fishy about this, just be careful OK?"
"Ya sure Lex you got my word on that…" Steven walks out & over to a mirror grabbing out his case & begin to apply his face paint.

Back out in the arena the next match had already started, Steve Austin Vs Johnny B. Badd, but Rose could not focus on that. Her mind was too focused on what had just happened…was this possible? Reaching in her purse she pulled out a small pad of paper & began writing something. She got a few lines down then stopped, reading it back to herself she knew she sounded like an obsessed fan or something, shaking her head she closed the pad putting it away then focused back to watching the matches.

Backstage Sting was pacing in his dressing room, more to psyche himself up then from nerves…he has been thrown curve balls before…and just like any other he would handle it like a professional. Ever few moments he would look over at the monitor that was in the room just to see where they were in the card. Time passed & the 'Broad Street Bully' match had just ended, which was his queue. He left the locker room area heading to the entrance ramp. His timing was perfect, no need to wait & be distracted. He barely saw Vader & Harley Race from the corner of his eye as his music was keyed up, he walked out & into the ring with the normal pageantry that he was known for , but also known for a main event. He then leaned in his corner for the ref to check him over…they then announced Vader's entrance.

Rose moved in her seat just to get more focused, she didn't want to miss a second of this. 'What the…no it can't be…or can it?' She focused right on the corner Sting was in as they were waiting for the match to begin. 'Oh Man…' She thought to herself seeing her seat lined up perfectly with his corner… OK granted she wasn't physically in his corner…but location wise she couldn't have been any better lined up…the bell rang & this jarred her thoughts back to the center of the ring as the action began. Rose soon got wrapped up in the cheering & booing with everyone else in the place.

The match began with both men circling each other. After a few moments sadly Vader gained the upper hand of the match & held it for most of the time. It was only near the end that the tide of battle turned in The Stinger's favor. Nearly fifteen minutes passed when the bell finally rung with Sting scoring a win over the big man, Vader. This sent most of the arena into grand cheers, except for a few strong Vader fans & oddly Rose. She was just watching in her seat. She then took out her pad of paper & finished writing the letter she began to write earlier in the night…she just hoped it was legible as she was rushing to get it done. She then got up & rushed down to the lower level till she reached a security guard.

"Um…excuse me?" She called out causing the guard looked over to her
"Yes?"
"Is there any way I can get a letter to one of the wrestlers…it is kind of important." He thought sure it was…almost any fan letter is important to the fan.
"Sure thing kid…I'll deliver it for you…Who is it for?" He walks over taking the small letter from Rose.
"It is for Sting."
"OK I'll see what I can do." Rose smiled & left to find her ride home.
A part of her had a feeling nothing would come of the letter…That is if Sting ever even got it' she doubted she would ever know.
