We cut to Benny's New York loft apartment lounge where he's playing some Xbox with rather generic and unsavoury looking thug friend Trawn. Mashing away at buttons as the two play video games, realisation suddenly dawns on Benny like the rising sun scalding his eyes to signal the arrival of a new day. Benny loses the round, gets his head and spine ripped out by Trawn in the most cannibalistic, brutalistic fashion and puts his controller down with a heavy sigh as he looks at a gloating Trawn.
Benny Horrowitz: 'eyo Trawn?
Trawn: What it is Benny?
Benny Horrowitz: Don't ya' hate it when ya' sleep all day and forget when the RP deadline is for Meltdown?
Trawn pulls that face like he's just been told two contrasting pieces of news. “The Waco Siege is over” but “Everyone involved is dead”.
Trawn: I wouldn't know what that was like man but I figure that shit can get hard. So what'cha gonna' do?
Benny Horrowitz: I'm gonna' talk some trash about my opponents, hype myself up like a warrior and hope I can scrape over the word limit for this to not be considered a no-show.
Trawn nods his approval as Benny starts talking to you now.
Trawn: For real.
Benny Horrowitz: Y'see ladies and fellas, I'm always the one to start on a high note and Michael Lively is definitely that high note. He's a Hall of Famer, our current North American champion and won God knows how many belts throughout his storied career and yet... ask yourself this. Why is a man like him who once used to run this joint now hanging with us down here on the rookie brand? It pains me to say it but ya' gotta' start asking yourself questions when the self-pronounced Jesus of Meltdown Michael Lively is having to hang tough with the new kids like Benny from the block. So what's it to do? Is he a has-been? Is he a big fish in a small pond tryna' sooth his ego? All I know is that a I got flyin' knee strike that says he's not the biggest fish in the pond no more.
He pats his knee for emphasis. The power of the White Light is well-known throughout APW, not just Meltdown.
Benny Horrowitz: And in his corner you got the beautiful, sexy latina Carman Rivera. Damn that girl is fiiiiine. She's the girl that Lively snatched that belt from and now they're on the same team. Well ain't that some shit? All I know is that she still shaken up with bad boyfriend issues. Now I got my eyes on a very different prize so before people start sayin' my eyes are wandering, that ain't the case. I will however say I know what it's like to break up with freaky psycho's like Michael Harris but in chick form and it's Hell. Her phone probably blowin' up with texts and calls and threats. Sounds like we need to get Jerry in here man. Shit.
He'd suggest Steve Wilkos but he doesn't wanna get off his stage.
Benny Horrowitz: Finally we got Dante, Krunk and Stefan Raab. I ain't never even heard of those first two guys but they got better win/loss records than I do here so I guess I better pay attention. Raab on the other hand I know all too well. Big boy is a huge celebrity back home in Deutschland and you gotta' be afraid of a man with those kinds of resources. Those kindsa' talents. The only problem with Killerplauze it seems is that he's too enamoured with himself. He gets in way too deep and he winds up on the mat for the three when it really matters. He's a monster in your every match but when the pressure is on and he has the chance to make believers out of the masses he breaks apart.
An astute observation as Raab came perilously close to being North American champion only to fall short when the opportunity presented itself.
Benny Horrowitz: I on the other hand thrive in pressure. It's what I live for. Every day I train harder. I got zen-like dedication to making sure I come out swinging every night all ready to whoop that ass. If you try and stop me? You get a White Light knee for your troubles. Ain't nobody gonna' really stand in the way of the climb. My focus is on maximising my potential and channelling the good that I know lives and breathes through Meltdown to put on the show of a lifetime. Make sure you pay attention and keep those eyes wide baby because if you blink? You might just miss me.
Fade.
