We open the scene in which appears to the Meltdown GM’s office, Jonny Diamond. Only two men can be seen clearly through the camera, Krunk, and Eric. Krunk is dressed in a pair of sweats and a black shirt; he seems to be angered as he paces back and forth in the center of the room rather quickly. Meanwhile Eric his shaking his head anxiously, awaiting the final answer from the GM.
Krunk: Where is he? I've been waiting for like one whole hour for his ass.
Eric Lawry: Man I just think your idea is stupid. Why didn’t you just go to his office yourself instead of starting a ruckus after the show went off air? You got me involved in this stuff too, starting random bullshit.
Krunk: Trying to grab his attention, let him know that I won’t let this go. I’m still confused about how he didn’t reverse the decision or anything like that.
Krunk’s pacing is interrupted by the arrival of Jonny Diamond.
Johnny Diamond: Ah Krunk, never seen you around my office, you’re not in any trouble, right?
Krunk: There will be soon, why wasn’t there any sort of like disqualification or something like that when Aubrey revealed she used brass knuckles? Isn’t that cheating?
Jonny Diamond: I’m sorry but I can’t do anything like that. Only the ref can do that and I think it’s too late for anything like that. Even though many witnessed that, she did it when the ref was unaware of what she was hiding on her fist. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Krunk:[/color] Yes
Germaine cocks his fist back before attempting to punch the general manager, but Eric jumps in between Krunk and Jonny Diamond. The GM looks appalled by the attempted assault, and takes a few steps back from Krunk.
Krunk:[/color] You can help by being the one of many that sees me become a champion on October 28th in the Tokyo Dome. Watch me leave with the North American championship on my fuckin’ waist. That’s all I want from you.
Eric cuts him off from speaking any further as he pushes Krunk out of the room, slamming Jonny Diamond’s office door right behind them as they exit.
Eric Lawry: Yo are you fuckin’ stupid, you almost attacked the general manager of Meltdown. He’s staff; he would have charged you for assault if I didn’t stop you from connecting that hit. Stop acting so stupid and hotheaded over some loss, when did this ever affe-
Krunk snaps, flustering due Eric’s earlier actions inside the office.
Krunk:[/color] It’s because you don’t realize what kind of situation I’m in right now. Everyone is sleeping on me thinking I won’t even make that last four in this elimination match. Haven’t seen the polls, read people’s opinions, and just the thought of proving every single person wrong might be the most satisfying feeling ever. It’s like I put in all this hard work for nothing, but I’ve been training extra hard for this match and prepared my body for hell.
Krunk scurries off to the exit of the building while Eric walks off in the opposite direction, confounded by what he just heard from Krunk. The scene slowly began to turn darker each step Eric took until he reached the door, where it faded to black.
The scene opens up once again, our hero; Krunk is seen wandering aimlessly in the Narita International Airport. Wearing a backpack and holding his hand luggage with one of his hands, he came to a halt after turning to a corner with a confused look. Dropping his bags, he glanced into the camera, leaning on the wall right behind him. Krunk let out a sigh of relief before beginning to address his many fans that were scattered across the globe.
Krunk: Damn I got no one to help me out, can’t read Japanese so it just makes my life a living hell. I’m used to someone helping me out which is usually my friend but we had a little fight so I came here by myself. Back in the day I was pretty much a loner with a select number of friends that I could talk with. We didn’t actually greet ourselves normally but we held a secret handshake used between us. Anyways, that’s beside the point and that really isn’t the shit I came here to talk to you guys about. It something much more important than that, this is my first title match ever. Well it looks like I’m the only one when it comes to this scenario because these other guys have been in the title business or they just have more experience than me.
But hey there are always those underdog stories people read and the movies too. I’ve been especially watching Rocky, that movie taught me much about the Rocky character. The fact that he kept getting up and trying to go at it again and again was just amazing, it was his spirit. I haven’t really seen any of that spirit on Meltdown. Obviously everybody acts way to arrogant thinking they’re going to pulling every single win since there the shit. Basically I’ve seen it from all of you, claiming that you’re the best on the roster, how you’re better then everybody. It’s not really cool; I’ve gotten tired I’ve hearing the same thing over and over again, now yall are annoying. Some of you guys come up with some of the corniest shit ever, but I understand because I used to do it back when I was pretty new. Those rookie mistakes that many have been through when starting up
This experience factor you all hold over me is kind of surprising. All of you know the ins and outs of the business some secret advantages I might not know about. It’s no sweat; I’ve prepared myself for any bullshit to happen inside the Tokyo Dome. This match was picked by Shadow, which must mean that it’s his kind of environment, which means he might have something up that extra-large sleeve of his but it doesn’t matter. If any of you think I’m just going to let you guys go with that belt easily, thinking of me as some sort of animal you’ll step on. That’s a no, none of these loses have affected me, I was able to pull an official win over Lively alone. I don’t think any of you guys have actually accomplished that, except Streets who had a partner to assist him. It always confuses me, how you all continue to insult me and forget the fact that I’m the only one in this match who has actually beaten Lively in a match. I ain’t gonna make fun of you guys for that, it’s pretty hard to do that and I think there’s a reason why I was the only one able to pull the win over him.
Krunk stopped to take a breath; he then walked off towards exit of the airport with his luggage, the cameraman followed him as he began to speak up.
Krunk:[/color] The stories about the rookies taking belts so quickly surprise me. Especially the World Heavyweight champion himself, Anthony Bailey. He hasn’t been in the business for long but he was able to grab two belts in the little time he’s been in the game. Now if that doesn’t make you believe in underdog stories, I’ll show you all tomorrow night how it’s supposed to be done. But sometimes there’s those the background people you don’t notice in the end like that guy they call Streets Wilsons. The mystery man of the hour, all a lot of things about you are kept on the low, I don’t know why, maybe it’s the fact that your backstory reminds me of the Karate Kid. Or the fact that you are horrible when it comes to doing the moonwalk, it’s so disrespectful to MJ and I plan on doing something about it, maybe just stomping on your leg a little bit harder then I will on the others. You show off your bullshit martial arts in an attempt to tell others that you’re not someone to get messed with. Ever since that little tag match you had with Lively you’ve started to get a little buzz, but man people do understand you had help, pretty much a fluke if you ask me.
You also show off that switchblade of yours to scare children, that’s something only a man who has never gotten respect from equals would do. That kind of behavior disgusts me, especially the fact that you haven’t really done anything with the blade so it’s only for show. This bullshit façade you hide behind disgusts me, and everyone else who has an understanding between fake and real. If you’re trying to petrify the people, it makes you one of my enemies. You try to pull that kung fu shit with me and I’m just gonna shove my leg up your ass before you even get that chance. You might be used to these kinds of matches, since this is elimination, like those karate tournaments. I might not know much about this karate shit you incorporate with your in-ring ability but I’ve watched a few tapes and google has taught me many counters, and that movie Karate Kid.
Krunk opened one of the pockets on his backpack, revealing a water bottle. He opened it before taking a sip and beginning to speak.
Krunk:[/color] Hey, I’m not the type whose gonna describe their tactics and how they’re gonna defeat you. There’s only one guy who actually does that and is still capable of winning with that style is one-half of M&M. Not the candy, but Logan Alexander. A man who’s known for his prowess in the arts of technical wrestling and submission holds. One of the few dangerous men to consider in this match, including the fact that you can be a douchebag at certain times, I mean at ALL times. I know you were the one behind the brass knuckles that were used against me in my match. You already knew that her chances at winning were low so you decided to help her out. Maybe those words I said earlier that night created an impact, pretty painful hey? Yet I thought you were better than this but sometimes people are just wrong. I understand completely, I always hated teachers and there stupid accomplishments they bragged about. Although there might be some factors about you I like, including the fact that you don’t brag about those accomplishments you hold. Instead you speak of complete bullshit like a god and act as if you can predict things and know how things are going to turn out next week and using your girlfriend/student as some sort of exploitation. You’re forgetting that this is hell homeboy, and that shit won’t work in hell.
Both your asses are forgetting that you might hold some singles success but you’re really tag team wrestlers not just singles competitors. Understand that you’ll both be fucked when you’ll have to fight in the same ring against each other.
Your partner understands that to win a match against me means that she is going to have to use some sort of item to aid her in winning. Trying to argue the fact that you guys got me in that triple threat tag match, but in the end you got the win ‘stolen’ from no other then the devil’s son, Lively. I ain’t gonna lie but M&M are one of the rare few that are a talented team, and if you guys are actually planning to work together in this match, you guys will become a dangerous threat in the match. But in the end there’s only one winner so there won’t be any type of bullshit like that. Aubrey J Parker, you are god-looking but every single APW megastar is tryna get a date with you which is annoying so I gave up on you. Your submission maneuver is something that always surprises me especially the fact that you’re capable of breaking legs with it. Your threats are meaningless though, especially due to the fact that you say you’re going to break there leg but you don’t do it at all. Pretty fake to me, the shit I don’t like. Like I heard from a fella before on APW, “If you can’t do the walk walk, don’t do the talk talk.”
Krunk:[/color] The one thing of many things that I dislike about Young Mannie is this thug persona you depict bothers me. What are you representing; is it the varying colored kush you wander around with on APW premises? You’ve been doing it for a long time but I smiled when you finally got arrested, and you started to kind of change your ways when you met that girl called Shanell. But picking up a girl in this business is dangerous. Especially because of the dangerous women beaters and threats in the business. Like the fact that she’s fighting the Finnish Phenom in an Xtreme Rules match He might do some crazy things with her, especially the fact that the match is Xtreme Rules which means she might actually get injured. You and your baked ass should have stayed at prison, but I feel sad for you. The fact that you have no luck, she bailed you out of jail just to see you go through hell and watch you get your ass beat. That’s just some fucked up relationship if you ask me; I’ve seen some therapists on television who can probably work this out though.
I used to respect you and the large dude Shadow, but that all changed when I heard you guys opened your mouth. Shadow, just the name shadow makes me think you were one of those big dudes who read comic books for a living until they felt the need to use that size of theirs for something useful. Germ, pretty cool nickname you gave me there. I might use it cause it sounds pretty dope but clearly your forgetting about some science I need to reeducate your ass in. Germs birth bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and helminthes. Each of those things plagues bodies, bringing pain to your body as well. Constantly mutating to break through that big stupid body of yours. Germs cause infection, damaging your cells. Its then when disease happens, and I begin to destroy that body of yours. All you do is talk about how I’m a germ but in the end you’re not taking any precautions to protect yourself from this ‘germ’. My mother named me, knowing fully well that I would be able to change something, Shadow don’t bring up family unless you’re asking for a personal ass kicking from me after One Night in Hell.
Krunk:[/color] The champ is going to leave not champion anymore. Like this match was probably made for him to lose, I know the GM hates his ass like everybody else in this god damn business. Michel and his corrupted circle-jerk, a woman beater who is still a closet-homo. There’s nothing wrong with being open about being gay Michael Lively. You always question my ability in the business, but forget about how I ran over your buddy Sabur and defeated you in a match fair and square. I’m the only one to ever do it, yet you decide to ignore these facts when you speak about me. Doesn’t surprise me, you have some serious issues you need to settle; maybe a therapist who specializes in freaks with too many problems can help. You’re a hall of famer, but you’re still stuck on the developmental show while that new dude, Azrael Goeren was bumped straight into Overdrive show after signing a contract. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me or any other person that works for APW. It’s probably due to the fact that management has no faith in your skill, no one would be surprised if it’s true, and you’re a douchebag. You fail to understand that tomorrow night is the night I will prove to everyone on that roster that I have surpassed a hall of famer; this match will finally cement the claim.
Atleast I understand that I won’t be brought down by the likes of Vincent Pennington, I guy that I have teamed up with to achieve my goals of just playing with Lively. I think deep down he’s a really chill guy like some people I know, but sometimes they can’t show this side and decide to hide behind some sort of guise. Like attacking M&M right after a match was a stupid mistake. You’re not really a man to confront them and apologize to their face but instead you apologize over Twitter. These stupid pussy like antics you pull off just confuse me and everyone else on here. Your still with Evan Envi’s sister am I right? I don’t think business relationships involve you kissing your business partner but whatever, I guess it’s not my problem or anything. We’ll be fighting, this time not together but differently, hopefully you fight fairly and properly, but who the hell knows what you’ll do.
Finally reaching the exit of the airport, he approaches the glass door leading to the taxi cabs outside. He came to a sudden halt, turning to face the camera with a wide toothy grin upon his face.
Krunk:[/color] Well this is just another match, just extra big and in front of a different crowd of people. I love to please and satisfy but it’s all the same. In the end I’ll be living my dream, and yours.
