What can I say? For months people wondered if I’d really stepped up to be the hero, or if I was about to send their hopes and dreams crashing down in a giant ball of flame. For months, people didn’t believe me, didn’t want to think that I was a “good” guy. And then, it finally happened. Finally, all of the holdouts, all of the doubters turned to me one by one and said…. You’re the man, You’re the one we’ll put our faith behind. At that moment, the very second where I had everyone CONVINCED that I was your savior…. That is the moment I won!
So now come the questions. Why? Why did you play with our emotions just to rip them to shreds? Why did you even bother to pretend to change in the first place? Why go through this whole charade just to throw it all away in the end? And my answer to all that….. WHY THE FUCK NOT? Don’t you people get it by now? I am the Undisputed Champion! I am the king of APW and I can do whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want to do it. IF I want to play with your emotions for my own enjoyment then there’s not a damn thing any of you can do to stop me.
So now that the acting job is done and the academy lines up my Oscar nomination, it’s time to look toward the future and what things are shaping up for. Just over a month past the biggest war I’ve ever fought in, there is another looming just over the horizon. But this war is different. This war is not as flashy, not as publicized, and not as brutal. In fact, this war will barely be noticed at all, mainly because it’s already been fought, and already been decided! This war has been one carefully planned out strategic motion after another, getting all the right pieces in place before a single shot is even fired.
There is simply one more move to make….then CheckMate!
But never fear, your Hero, your savior, he’s still here, and he’s still looking out for your best interests. He knows that a life with Biggs at the helm is no life worth living. He knows what you want even better than you know yourself!!! And even though you have once again turned your back on him, he’s still willing to go that extra mile for you and eradicate the threat that looms in front of him. But War is ugly, and the nice guy has left the building. So what you see is only the beginning, and it will be very hard to watch for anyone with a moral bone in their body. But it is for, as always, the common good.
It’s just gotten REAL!
-----------------------------------------------------
”YOU SON OF A BITCH!
The door of the locker room slams, and the APW Undisputed Champion smirks as he sees Chris Hart Standing there scowling
”Oh Good, my good buddy and Tag team partner has come to stuff his moral high ground down my throat!”
”You set this whole thing up?!”
Terry just smiles proudly, not needing to say a word.
”You set up Kurt to take the fall, turned the fans against him, and you did it all on purpose didn’t you?!”
Chris is steaming now and obviously looking for answers. His facial expression forces Terry to choke down a laugh.
”It really wasn’t that hard. He did all the work and heavy lifting. I simply had to spin it the right way and the fans ATE it up. I must say that you played your part PERFECTLY….and Amy, God that was just the icing on the cake…”
Chris’ rage explodes.
”Don’t you dare mention her name! Why? Nevermind, I already know why. You’re a selfish asshole who cares about nothing but himself. ”
”Thank you so much, you’re too kind.”
”You don’t even care do you? You ruined Kurt’s life! You ruined his marriage…. You ruined our friendship, for what? To play a little game? For your amusement?”
Terry sticks his hand out to stop Chris, showing a vast lack of respect.
”You really think I did all that single handedly? You really think that I took everything away from him? First of all, I don’t give two shits about any of that. THIS title is the only thing I’ve EVER cared about.
Secondly, you give me way too much credit. All I did was use Kurt’s attitude and actions against him. HE ruined his marriage…. HE was the one to take in that floozy. He was the one who stopped listening to the fans. He’s the one who let his violence explode. I just gave it a nudge or two in the right direction. As for your friendship…. There’s a mirror right there my friend if you want to blame the true culprit.”
Terry turns his back on Chris who now fumes.
”You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
”Don’t I? It was you that first got on his case about his attitude. It was you that sided with his wife. It was you that ended his bid for the title at One Night in Hell. It was you that turned your back on Kurt. I just sat back, watching and laughing my ass off.”
”If that’s what you call standing by my friend and trying to get the REAL Kurt back.”
”THE REAL KURT IS DEAD DUMBASS”
Terry turns while shouting and it startles Chris a bit.
”That part I wasn’t lying about. It’s time for you to wake up and realize that either you fight or he’ll end you!”
”As if I’m going to take advice from a lying prick like you. If you tought me one thing, it’s that I need to find who my REAL friends are and hold on for dear life. As for you, This isn’t over. I’ll make sure you pay for every single person you wronged, TEN times over.”
He leaves the locker room and slams the door again. Terry just smiles.
”Looking forward to it….partner!”
Terry laughs as the scene fades to black.
-----------------------------------------------------
It’s nearly winter on Long Island and that brings a hard chill to everyone’s bones. But the one man who’s cold heart and black soul is immune to the icy winds stands on a pier overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Undisputed Champion Terry Marvin smiles as he looks out into the vast blue water that travels on seemingly forever.
”I love the ocean. It’s never-ending and always present, sort of like my inaugural Undisputed Championship title reign. The ocean is ever powerful and at times violent. It brings with it a force of nature that not even the most determined, stalwart individual can hope to stand up to. It is the absolute…. The final say in destruction. Any attempt to conquer it is met with fierce resistance and ends with brutal and unforgiving results. At times I feel like the ocean, feel like the largest force on the planet that nobody can stop.
But there is one very large difference between this beautiful creation and yours truly. You see, for ages, meteorologists have been setting the times that the tide rolls in and rolls out. And like clockwork, the ocean follows the plan laid out for it. So even though in the heart of the ocean, it is spontaneous and dangerous, it can also be extremely predictable… That is where we differ. The Real Show follows NOBODY’S plans, and as I proved last week, is anything but PREDICTABLE!”
Terry smiles quaintly and looks at the camera.
”Isn’t that right Biggs?”
He laughs heartily and shakes his head.
”How does it feel Biggs, to know you were right all along? How does it feel to know that deep down you had me figured out before EVERY SINGLE other person in existence? And where exactly did that get you eh Biggs?
Now tell me how it feels to abandon your gut feelings and embrace the idea that I was this epic “changed man” out of a children’s novel who has seen the error of his ways and chooses to be one of the good guys? You feel like a fool don’t you Biggs? Go ahead, it’s okay to admit your weakness.”
Terry laughs again
”All I keep hearing, all week are the same inane questions. Why? Why? Why? And the sad thing is, you ignorant fools already know the answer to that question. I’ve stated it from the very beginning. I am EXACTLY who I say I am, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get ahead no matter who’s grave I have to walk on during my journey. That has never changed, and this was just one more tool at my disposal. ”
His chuckle fades as he stares at the camera and shake his head.
” And don’t give me that crap about the fans believed in me, they had my back, and I simply threw it away. That’s a bunch of horse shit and you all know that! ”
Terry spits off the pier and glares into the camera
” These fans were desperate, begging for somebody to believe in. After all their former hero Kurt Noble turned into a sociopathic bully. Their other hero CJ Gates was a delusional nobody who’s losing ways had turned him into the largest punchline in APW history. He wasn’t fit for the job…. And there was indeed dark times for the APW. So the fans were searching high and low for a man to lead them through the darkness….and they landed on yours truly. Anybody with half a brain and two working eyes could se that I was the WORST possible pick for the position, but they kept asking and pleading. They rallied around me like a moth to flame. So I embrased them, I allowed them to rise me on that pedestal, to warship me as their savior! Hell, I even enjoyed it at times!
But make no mistake about it… they were simply a means to an end. I knew that they’d come in handy eventually. I knew that my new heroic image would put me in a great position and cause my enemies to lower their guard. And that’s exactly what happened. And when it did I seized my opertunity like I always do and made Biggs wish he never EVER ran across my path. But that is my nature…that’s what I do and what I’ve always done. I’ve never once lied about that, and I’ve never once been anything but true to myself. The fans were so blind and so desperate, that deep down they knew that I would never stay true to them, but they didn’t care. So don’t blame me for the foolishness of the masses. But I do know someone you can blame!”
Terry stops and leans against a pole as the brisk winds blow through sending a shiver down his spine.
” C.J. Gates, where the fuck were you? After all your claims of saving APW, of wanting to take it back from the vile and wicked, you were no where to be found when the fans were desperately searching for their hero! You disappeared completely and I should thank you. If you had stepped up and been the man that you pretend to be, these fans would have flocked to you in an instant. But instead you were a weak shell of your former self and therefore easy to ignore. You’re ineptitude enabled me to craft my perfectly enacted plan. So I guess I owe you something for that huh? I suppose there should be some sort of repayment? Well I tell you what, as retribution, here’s a bit of advice.
RUN! Run fast and run hard because the path that you’re on right now leads to nothing but despair and disappointment. See, you’re partners with Biggs… the man who just saw deception in it’s perfect brutal form up close and personal. You know that there’s a part of him that’s standing up and applauding at the execution of it all. Because Biggs is the SAME guy that I am Gates, only less successful. He is a opportunistic, conniving little shit! He has been known to place a perfectly set dagger or two in many a backs. And now, he has you as his new patsy. You know that this whole episode has made him miss the days when he was the master of the mind game!
And here you are, trusting yet another unworthy foe. No matter what you say or how you play it off Gates, you know deep down in your heart that you believed in The Real Show. You believed that I was a changed man, a puppet to these fans like you’ve always been. And it was a relief to you! Cause now, you didn’t have to carry that burden anymore, you didn’t have to thrust all their hopes and dreams on your shoulders and carry that heavy heavy responsibility! You didn’t have to face that eminent failure when you let everybody down….AGAIN!”
Terry smirks and a low laugh comes out of his math as he makes it off one of the piers and slowly struts down the nearly empty Boardwalk. The lights come on as the sun sets low over the western horizon.
”You see, Gates, I know all about what this week means to you. It’s your chance to earn back the truckload of respect of these fans that you lost during your little sabbatical from victory. And it’s sad that your highest aspirations in life is to once again be the puppet to the masses. I guess that makes since for the man who had it all only to give it away to the biggest Monster to come out of APW….EVER! But if you think that my destruction will come so easily, that I’ll just stand there and allow you to drive a pickup truck of momentum right over my head, then you clearly haven’t been paying attention.
See Gates, it is my intentions to make you look even worse in the eyes of the masses, as if that were even possible. It is my job to make them forever doubt your ability to do anything once again. They’ll realize that it was you who failed to stop me in the first place, that it was you who first unleashed the Kurt Noble beast on us in the first place! And then Gates, you’ll have nothing, not your vengeance, not the fans, NOTHING but your traitorous little friend Biggs who already knows in the back of his mind exactly when and how he’s going to throw you to the wolves. You’re more than just the fan’s puppet Gates, your Biggs little scapegoat. You’re the newest and shiniest tool in his box, and he’ll use you up just like I used the peons who once chanted MY name!
There is only one honorable way out for you Gates….to simply walk away. I can see it in your eyes, the desire to do so. You just don’t’ have an opertunity. Well this week, your prayers will be answered when God’s Gift to wrestling does what he does best and makes you realize that your time has passed you by. It will be your opening to walk out that door Gates. TAKE IT, and leave with a small shred of your dignity intact!”
Terry continues walking down the boardwalk.
”So, Biggs, are we really going to give this one away for free just weeks before I continue your streak of ineptitude at Christmas Chaos? After all, if I were you, I would be ashamed to show my face in public after being taken for a ride in such a fashion last week. Thank you for reassuring that I made the right choice in patsy! For a while there, I thought you were going to be the only person in APW with a brain in his head, but just as predicted, you came through with flying colors. How could you….Biggs…. fall prey to one of the classic blunders. It’s a move right out of your playbook after all, back before you were pretending to give a crap about the fans, back when you were an inspiration to me! But as I said, thank you so much for being a gullable little fool! I’m sure there was this loud voice inside of you screaming “YOU IDIOT, I TOLD YOU HE WAS PLAYING US.” Of course that sound was probably drowned out by the sharp clang of steel hitting your skull.
I’m sure you’re wondering, thinking to yourself, why me? Why would Terry chose ME to publicly humiliate? The answer is quite obvious Biggs. I know how the sick sadistic mind of the powers that be work. I knew who the next fool to take a swipe at my Undisputed Championship was going to be, so I just cut them off at the pass. But that doesn’t answer your question does it? Why the charade, why go to such lengths to earn your trust only to crush your hopes and dreams. Well Biggs, it’s simple really. You see, there is one person in APW with any historical meaning that I have never defeated one on one. That person is you Biggs…. And I don’t just want to beat you Biggs as that would be just too easy. No I want you to taste defeat so powerfully that you’ll sink low inside yourself and question every single thing about your life. I want you to feel like EVERYONE is against you, like you can’t succeed at a DAMN thing to save your life, like you are NOTHING! I want you to SUFFER Biggs!
Suffer the same way I did last year when you cheated me out of the Overdrive title not once but twice. Suffer like I did when All my confidence was lost and I was stuck in a depression so mightily that I had the proverbial barrel of the gun up against the temple of my career with finger on the trigger. But, a superstar such as myself doesn’t get sunk into such a pit of depression easily….they don’t’ get sad, they get EVEN! I have been waiting all year Biggs…ALL FUCKING YEAR for you to pull yourself out of your shell of pity to step back in the ring. And now, you’re standing in front of me in all your glory, just there for me to do with what I will. And I’m not even close to finished with you Biggs, not by a long shot. This week is merely just one more step towards my ultimate goal…. You OUT of APW for good!”
Marvin’s look is intense as he glares into the camera not even flashing the tiniest of smiles. He takes one deep breath.
”You’re PATHETIC Biggs, in a way that I have never imagined possible. You’re own wife couldn’t even stand you anymore and when faced with a choice between her and wrestling…. You turned your back on the career that MADE you…..right before she REJECTED YOU! I’m the Undisputed champion, but THAT may have been the highlight of my year. And now here you are sucking up to the same fans who once laughed at you when you got concussed, who once CHEERED when you were forced to leave wrestling! Jesus Biggs… have you lost yourself to that extent that you’d abandon your principals just so a couple measly peons would chant your name? Not even I bowed down to the masses, and I was simply pretending Biggs. You’ve really gone off the deep end.
And now here you are, once again a trusting fool with the Heath Ledger to your Jake Gyllenhaal who’s got your “back,” something I’m sure you two giggle about in the shower on a daily basis. But seriously Biggs, do you never learn? You can’t TRUST anyone, especially the guy who DESTROYED your career. Oh wait, I know what this is. DUH, it’s so obvious. You don’t trust Gates, you’re simply setting up the same play that I did. I guess I should be mad at the blatant plagiarism, but they do say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. See, I know you want to be just like me Biggs, but this is going a step or two too far isn’t it.
Makes no difference, this week I give you a little taste of the torture you’ve got coming at Christmas Chaos. IF you thought One Night in Hell was brutal, you don’t even know the meaning of the word. IF I allow you to make it to Christmas Chaos Biggs, it will only be in my best interests, I promise you that. After all, destroying your dreams on a MASSIVE stage is so much better than giving this shit away for free isn’t it? But still, I must send a message, a little note that I truly AM the Greatest thing to EVER happen to wrestling . And after all is said and done, you’ll get a sinking feeling in your soul Biggs. Don’t worry, you’re not getting sick, that’s just the universe telling you that your fate is written in stone! ”
Terry laughs loudly again as he continues to Club with a line of people waiting to get in. He breezes right past the line and through the front door to the waiting arms of Violet and Kia LeWInter who lead him back to a VIP area reserved for Sindicate members only! Sitting there is his Tag Team partner this week, Level One sipping on what can only be champagne.
”Life is GREAT in the Sindicate, so it amuses me to think that you people would believe that I’d leave all this behind just to hear you chant my name? WOW, you really didn’t know the horse you were betting on did you?
And I would be remised to not mention the Oscar award winning performance of Level One who played the part of the dejected ex-partner with a chip on his shoulder PERFECTLY! And this week, Level One and myself prove once and for all what happens when the two greatest talents to ever grace APW with our presence join forces against the ridiculously sad attempt at resistance that stands before us.
You see APW, the landscape has shifted and you don’t even realize it yet. Jeff isn’t in charge anymore. Rebel isn’t in charge anymore. The APW has been taken over, and is now a subsidiary of the Sindicate! AS your Undisputed Champion and the man who holds ALL the chips, we hold all the POWER in APW, and don’t let yourselves be fooled into thinking otherwise!
This week, the Space Cowboys crash and burn back down to earth and ride off in the sunset.
This week, the Sindicate imposes our will, and nothing will ever be the same again.
This week, the future is carved out and everything is set up for our coronation at Christmas Chaos.
This week is the beginning of the end.
The Mayans were wrong… Armageddon comes a couple weeks early!
IT’S SHOWTIME!”
So now come the questions. Why? Why did you play with our emotions just to rip them to shreds? Why did you even bother to pretend to change in the first place? Why go through this whole charade just to throw it all away in the end? And my answer to all that….. WHY THE FUCK NOT? Don’t you people get it by now? I am the Undisputed Champion! I am the king of APW and I can do whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want to do it. IF I want to play with your emotions for my own enjoyment then there’s not a damn thing any of you can do to stop me.
So now that the acting job is done and the academy lines up my Oscar nomination, it’s time to look toward the future and what things are shaping up for. Just over a month past the biggest war I’ve ever fought in, there is another looming just over the horizon. But this war is different. This war is not as flashy, not as publicized, and not as brutal. In fact, this war will barely be noticed at all, mainly because it’s already been fought, and already been decided! This war has been one carefully planned out strategic motion after another, getting all the right pieces in place before a single shot is even fired.
There is simply one more move to make….then CheckMate!
But never fear, your Hero, your savior, he’s still here, and he’s still looking out for your best interests. He knows that a life with Biggs at the helm is no life worth living. He knows what you want even better than you know yourself!!! And even though you have once again turned your back on him, he’s still willing to go that extra mile for you and eradicate the threat that looms in front of him. But War is ugly, and the nice guy has left the building. So what you see is only the beginning, and it will be very hard to watch for anyone with a moral bone in their body. But it is for, as always, the common good.
It’s just gotten REAL!
-----------------------------------------------------
”YOU SON OF A BITCH!
The door of the locker room slams, and the APW Undisputed Champion smirks as he sees Chris Hart Standing there scowling
”Oh Good, my good buddy and Tag team partner has come to stuff his moral high ground down my throat!”
”You set this whole thing up?!”
Terry just smiles proudly, not needing to say a word.
”You set up Kurt to take the fall, turned the fans against him, and you did it all on purpose didn’t you?!”
Chris is steaming now and obviously looking for answers. His facial expression forces Terry to choke down a laugh.
”It really wasn’t that hard. He did all the work and heavy lifting. I simply had to spin it the right way and the fans ATE it up. I must say that you played your part PERFECTLY….and Amy, God that was just the icing on the cake…”
Chris’ rage explodes.
”Don’t you dare mention her name! Why? Nevermind, I already know why. You’re a selfish asshole who cares about nothing but himself. ”
”Thank you so much, you’re too kind.”
”You don’t even care do you? You ruined Kurt’s life! You ruined his marriage…. You ruined our friendship, for what? To play a little game? For your amusement?”
Terry sticks his hand out to stop Chris, showing a vast lack of respect.
”You really think I did all that single handedly? You really think that I took everything away from him? First of all, I don’t give two shits about any of that. THIS title is the only thing I’ve EVER cared about.
Secondly, you give me way too much credit. All I did was use Kurt’s attitude and actions against him. HE ruined his marriage…. HE was the one to take in that floozy.

”If that’s what you call standing by my friend and trying to get the REAL Kurt back.”
”THE REAL KURT IS DEAD DUMBASS”
Terry turns while shouting and it startles Chris a bit.
”That part I wasn’t lying about. It’s time for you to wake up and realize that either you fight or he’ll end you!”
”As if I’m going to take advice from a lying prick like you. If you tought me one thing, it’s that I need to find who my REAL friends are and hold on for dear life. As for you, This isn’t over. I’ll make sure you pay for every single person you wronged, TEN times over.”
He leaves the locker room and slams the door again. Terry just smiles.
”Looking forward to it….partner!”
Terry laughs as the scene fades to black.
-----------------------------------------------------
It’s nearly winter on Long Island and that brings a hard chill to everyone’s bones. But the one man who’s cold heart and black soul is immune to the icy winds stands on a pier overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Undisputed Champion Terry Marvin smiles as he looks out into the vast blue water that travels on seemingly forever.
”I love the ocean. It’s never-ending and always present, sort of like my inaugural Undisputed Championship title reign. The ocean is ever powerful and at times violent.

Terry smiles quaintly and looks at the camera.
”Isn’t that right Biggs?”
He laughs heartily and shakes his head.
”How does it feel Biggs, to know you were right all along? How does it feel to know that deep down you had me figured out before EVERY SINGLE other person in existence? And where exactly did that get you eh Biggs?

His chuckle fades as he stares at the camera and shake his head.
” And don’t give me that crap about the fans believed in me, they had my back, and I simply threw it away. That’s a bunch of horse shit and you all know that! ”
Terry spits off the pier and glares into the camera
” These fans were desperate, begging for somebody to believe in. After all their former hero Kurt Noble turned into a sociopathic bully.

You’re more than just the fan’s puppet Gates, your Biggs little scapegoat. You’re the newest and shiniest tool in his box, and he’ll use you up just like I used the peons who once chanted MY name!
There is only one honorable way out for you Gates….to simply walk away. I can see it in your eyes, the desire to do so. You just don’t’ have an opertunity. Well this week, your prayers will be answered when God’s Gift to wrestling does what he does best and makes you realize that your time has passed you by. It will be your opening to walk out that door Gates. TAKE IT, and leave with a small shred of your dignity intact!”
Terry continues walking down the boardwalk.
”So, Biggs, are we really going to give this one away for free just weeks before I continue your streak of ineptitude at Christmas Chaos? After all, if I were you, I would be ashamed to show my face in public after being taken for a ride in such a fashion last week. Thank you for reassuring that I made the right choice in patsy! For a while there, I thought you were going to be the only person in APW with a brain in his head, but just as predicted, you came through with flying colors. How could you….Biggs…. fall prey to one of the classic blunders. It’s a move right out of your playbook after all, back before you were pretending to give a crap about the fans, back when you were an inspiration to me! But as I said, thank you so much for being a gullable little fool! I’m sure there was this loud voice inside of you screaming “YOU IDIOT, I TOLD YOU HE WAS PLAYING US.” Of course that sound was probably drowned out by the sharp clang of steel hitting your skull.
I’m sure you’re wondering, thinking to yourself, why me? Why would Terry chose ME to publicly humiliate? The answer is quite obvious Biggs. I know how the sick sadistic mind of the powers that be work. I knew who the next fool to take a swipe at my Undisputed Championship was going to be, so I just cut them off at the pass. But that doesn’t answer your question does it? Why the charade, why go to such lengths to earn your trust only to crush your hopes and dreams. Well Biggs, it’s simple really. You see, there is one person in APW with any historical meaning that I have never defeated one on one. That person is you Biggs…. And I don’t just want to beat you Biggs as that would be just too easy. No I want you to taste defeat so powerfully that you’ll sink low inside yourself and question every single thing about your life. I want you to feel like EVERYONE is against you, like you can’t succeed at a DAMN thing to save your life, like you are NOTHING! I want you to SUFFER Biggs!
Suffer the same way I did last year when you cheated me out of the Overdrive title not once but twice. Suffer like I did when All my confidence was lost and I was stuck in a depression so mightily that I had the proverbial barrel of the gun up against the temple of my career with finger on the trigger. But, a superstar such as myself doesn’t get sunk into such a pit of depression easily….they don’t’ get sad, they get EVEN! I have been waiting all year Biggs…ALL FUCKING YEAR for you to pull yourself out of your shell of pity to step back in the ring. And now, you’re standing in front of me in all your glory, just there for me to do with what I will. And I’m not even close to finished with you Biggs, not by a long shot. This week is merely just one more step towards my ultimate goal…. You OUT of APW for good!”
Marvin’s look is intense as he glares into the camera not even flashing the tiniest of smiles. He takes one deep breath.
”You’re PATHETIC Biggs, in a way that I have never imagined possible. You’re own wife couldn’t even stand you anymore and when faced with a choice between her and wrestling…. You turned your back on the career that MADE you…..right before she REJECTED YOU! I’m the Undisputed champion, but THAT may have been the highlight of my year. And now here you are sucking up to the same fans who once laughed at you when you got concussed, who once CHEERED when you were forced to leave wrestling! Jesus Biggs… have you lost yourself to that extent that you’d abandon your principals just so a couple measly peons would chant your name? Not even I bowed down to the masses, and I was simply pretending Biggs. You’ve really gone off the deep end.
And now here you are, once again a trusting fool with the Heath Ledger to your Jake Gyllenhaal who’s got your “back,” something I’m sure you two giggle about in the shower on a daily basis. But seriously Biggs, do you never learn? You can’t TRUST anyone, especially the guy who DESTROYED your career. Oh wait, I know what this is. DUH, it’s so obvious. You don’t trust Gates, you’re simply setting up the same play that I did. I guess I should be mad at the blatant plagiarism, but they do say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. See, I know you want to be just like me Biggs, but this is going a step or two too far isn’t it.
Makes no difference, this week I give you a little taste of the torture you’ve got coming at Christmas Chaos. IF you thought One Night in Hell was brutal, you don’t even know the meaning of the word. IF I allow you to make it to Christmas Chaos Biggs, it will only be in my best interests, I promise you that. After all, destroying your dreams on a MASSIVE stage is so much better than giving this shit away for free isn’t it? But still, I must send a message, a little note that I truly AM the Greatest thing to EVER happen to wrestling . And after all is said and done, you’ll get a sinking feeling in your soul Biggs. Don’t worry, you’re not getting sick, that’s just the universe telling you that your fate is written in stone! ”
Terry laughs loudly again as he continues to Club with a line of people waiting to get in. He breezes right past the line and through the front door to the waiting arms of Violet and Kia LeWInter who lead him back to a VIP area reserved for Sindicate members only! Sitting there is his Tag Team partner this week, Level One sipping on what can only be champagne.
”Life is GREAT in the Sindicate, so it amuses me to think that you people would believe that I’d leave all this behind just to hear you chant my name? WOW, you really didn’t know the horse you were betting on did you?
And I would be remised to not mention the Oscar award winning performance of Level One who played the part of the dejected ex-partner with a chip on his shoulder PERFECTLY! And this week, Level One and myself prove once and for all what happens when the two greatest talents to ever grace APW with our presence join forces against the ridiculously sad attempt at resistance that stands before us.
You see APW, the landscape has shifted and you don’t even realize it yet. Jeff isn’t in charge anymore. Rebel isn’t in charge anymore. The APW has been taken over, and is now a subsidiary of the Sindicate! AS your Undisputed Champion and the man who holds ALL the chips, we hold all the POWER in APW, and don’t let yourselves be fooled into thinking otherwise!
This week, the Space Cowboys crash and burn back down to earth and ride off in the sunset.
This week, the Sindicate imposes our will, and nothing will ever be the same again.
This week, the future is carved out and everything is set up for our coronation at Christmas Chaos.
This week is the beginning of the end.
The Mayans were wrong… Armageddon comes a couple weeks early!
IT’S SHOWTIME!”
