Tokes is seated in a wheelchair watching students at the LLR Performance Center do drills, work on promos, and train their bodies for the rigors of predicting. An LLR Official is standing watch while Rufus is eating lunch in Catering.

Tokes: wow, these guys are really good. You think I can do this?

Before LLR Official can answer, one of the predictors hits a piledriver in the ring. Tokes sees it occur, and a flood of memories flash through Tokes’s mind all at once.

An NAA shirt

An LCA shirt

An AoC jacket.

The face of a rambling man cutting a promo

Tokes attacking a man with no face.

Every finisher from WrestleMania.

Tokes’s eyes roll in the back of his head, and he falls out of his chair, blood leaking from his ear and his nose. All action stops, and the trainers help him to his chair and rush him to the back. The sound of Rufus roaring can be heard from the ring

Present Day

Rufus: RAWR (So what did the doctors say?)

LLR official: They said he remembered, but it was too much, and too fast. It nearly killed him. He’s resting now in your office. As for the people you asked for, it’s taking some time. Some of them may not care.

Rufus: RAWR (I spoke to one, he wanted me to book him at Double or Nothing 2 in something special. He does me this favor, he can have his special)

LLR official: Well, if anyone comes to visit him, we will be careful.

Tokes’s memory recovered: 50%
