All Pro-Wrestling returned with a bang last Sunday as Breakdown showed that the APW has a great future ahead. The action at Breakdown saw Rob Van Dam named the APW World Heavyweight Champion after he defeated every other athlete on the roster in a Royal Rumble. It was certainly a night to remember for the fans, and things didn't go too badly for our man Mike Sanders either. Mike picked up his first APW victory against Kurt Angle, in what was a challenging encounter, and also managed to acquit himself quite well in the Royal Rumble, despite a mid-way exit. However, Mike probably won't  see his Rumble defeat as anything to be proud of but his general performance at Breakdown has seen him rewarded with a Cage Chaos Qualifier match which will see him take on Mr. Perfect. It's another tough challenge for Mike but, after all,  he wasn't expected to beat Kurt Angle so there could be another surprise on the cards at Thursday Night's Breakdown.

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Any mention of me in that thing? "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " Haha, why would there be? They want people to buy the thing ... and sorry, but your face on the page isn't exactly going to make people grab it off the shelves. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Give me a break, that's a bit harsh. "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " Haha.. Just telling it like it is. They want guys like me taking up the pages, then they'll have... wait a minute, all they seem to want to talk about is Rob Van Dam. Not one single mention of myself. And I thought this was supposed to a be a quality magazine. It must not appreciate quality when it sees it. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Or maybe it's just 'cause RVD won the Royal Rumble and well, you didn't. "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " Whoa! If I'd had a little bit of luck on my side things would be a whole lot different. I mean everybody saw how I slipped a little bit when that kid Shelton Benjamin hit me, otherwise there's not a chance that RVD would've walked away with the World Heavyweight Championship. It would've, it should've, been me winning and getting the headlines. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Slipped... sure. "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " I'm telling you I did slip, I just lost my footing. It can happen to the best of us. But, you've got to excuse me if I'm a little testy because like I said I could've done much better. My performance was just average. Average... Ugh, it sickens me to say it. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Hah, calm down Mike. Maybe you should have spliff... it worked for RVD. "

Mike glances up, looking straight at Jindrak and rolls his eyes.

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: I think he claimed it was incense Jindrak, but all the same I don't think I need anything to chill me out. I'm perfectly calm as it is. I realise that you can only have so much bad luck, in a way it's good to use it up. Hell, maybe I'll get some favours from old Lady Luck next time out at Breakdown. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Oh yeah, you're up against Mr. Perfect. "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " ... We've been over this. His name is Curt Henning and he's not perfect. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Okay, okay... but that's just what he gets called. "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " I don't care if people call him George W. Bush... I'm not going to do the same.  The man lost on Sunday night at Breakdown in his own match and in the Rumble, now that's not a perfect record, you know  I'd say that's a pretty below average record. In fact, losing any match means the guy simply can't be perfect. I think the dictionary might well be on my side as well, so if Curt Henning wants to call himself Mr. Perfect then I'd say he's a little delusional. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " If you look at it like that I suppose nobody can actually be perfect, can they? "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " Well first off you've got to be at least above average,  unlike poor Curt Henning. But you know I'll be perfectly honest, perfection is practically impossible to achieve. It's an ideal, a fantasy... not a reality.  We're living in an imperfect world, there are wars going on, there's people living in poverty, people dieing... that's a long way from perfect. Most people have their faults and even the best people around have the odd, slight problem. Take myself... sometimes I think I'm just too nice, Haha. Now Curt Henning believes that he's the one thing, the one person, out there that's perfect, flawless... I don't think so. To me Henning does a pretty good job of blending in with every other below average guy I see walking down the street. "

 Mark Jindrak doesn't seem to have been paying much attention to Mike, instead he's flicking through the magazine that Mike had earlier thrown away. He's reading through an article and raises his head, appearing ready to read from the magazine.

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " But you know that Mr. Per... I mean Curt Henning did pretty well around here the last time this place was open. This magazine says he was World Heavyweight champion, won the Loaded Gun tournament and..."

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " Blah Blah Blah... I thought I proved last week that whatever past glories my opponent wants to go on about they don't mean a thing inside the ring. Last week I had Kurt, with a K, who thought a couple of silly little amateur wrestling medals meant something. Now this week I've got Curt, with a C, who also won something a while ago and thus thinks he's perfect. These two guys obviously have the same first name, if you excuse the spelling, they also think that they've won a few things of note in their careers and therefore have delusions of grandeur. And you know I think the similarities might not stop there, 'cause last Sunday night I proved that Kurt Angle was just another below average chump and this Thursday night I'm going to prove that Curt Henning is, like his namesake, way below average. "

'AVERAGE' Mark Jindrak: " Well I think Curt Henning's pretty determined to get his World Heavyweight championship back and well I guess that starts with your match, what with it being a Cage Chaos qualifier. "

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " Well I almost feel sorry for poor Curt, he's got a tough draw and is up against a way above average opponent.. an opponent he just won't be able to get past. I think it's a sign that his career is flat lining while mine is a picture of health. It's just  the way things are, you peek at certain points in your career, Curt had that peek and now he's declining... that'll be made all to obvious on Thursday night. After Thursday you'll see what I'm talking about... I'll be heading for Cage Chaos and on to claim the World Heavyweight Championship while Curt Henning will just fade into obscurity. My main goal may well be to win  the World Heavyweight Championship but along the way I can accomplish something else, I can make sure that Curt Henning is exposed... exposed as a flawed, pathetic little man who's delusional dreams are built from past glories. When I walk into the ring I'll be staring across at a man who's a long way from being perfect and once he's dragged from the ring at the end of the match people will know to call him Mr. Henning not Mr. Perfect. If anybody is close to perfection then it's me, Mike Sanders, 'cause like I said you've got to be above average before you can be perfect. At Breakdown, I'm going to shatter Curt's delusional dreams... he'll be forced to see that he's not at all perfect and he'll have to realise that he's not got a hope of winning that World Heavyweight Championship. Curt Henning is just another below average guy who's going to be,

ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " And you know what that means, Haha! "

The scene then begins to fade to black as the APW logo flashes across the screen

Below Average: Kurt Angle.

Achievements: Soon to come…
