Richmond and Viceroy came to the ring with Lucinda. Lucinda said the final test was to answer a question and whoever had the best answer would be the sole owner of the Nation of Wrestling.
First question was for Richmond. She said based on the information given and the results of the other contests there were two choices. #1 Viceroy is in complete control of the NoW or #2 The NoW is closed down permanently. Richmond, without pause, said there's only one choice. He went over, shook Viceroy's hand and congratulated him on winning.He went to leave the ring but Lucinda stopped him.
She told Richmond he needed to wait to hear Viceroy's question. Viceroy's question is ...Who are you? Viceroy smiled, took the microphone and said 'I am.....Instinct.' He explained that all along he had been Instinct. He said early on he created the Instinct persona to keep running his business and to be a professional wrestler, but over time he realized he could do both as himself.
But..before that, he ran across the Nation of Wrestling and Jason Richmond. He saw a good company, great talent, and an owner who was a bit too power hungry. He had to make sure Richmond still wanted NoW to succeed or if he just wanted the power. He's taken a beating tonight and showed that he really wants the NoW to live. And He's won. All Debts to Viceroy and to Instinct are paid in full. The NoW is 100% under Richmond's control again.
