Post by President Jeff on Dec 9, 2008 18:23:06 GMT -4
The following video is part of a world wide announcement. We're sorry for this unexpected interjection.
A pre recorded video is played on air. Fading in from black; Level-One unmasked is seated in a large chair, behind an oak wood desk. A banner of the Extreme Wrestling Corporation’s ‘’Strangle Mania Seven’’ hangs in the back drop. Beside Level-One two security guards wearing neatly groomed suites stand, one with a silver brief case in hand. With a casual lean, he issues his statement.
Hello, the wrestling world. I’m Level-One, although the name itself fails to justify a reason for any introduction. If you don’t know me; then you’re ignorant to anything superior around yourself. Last week on EWC’S Friday Night Rampage, I dropped my world heavyweight title in the middle of the ring for anyone who felt they were ‘’worthy’’ to come pick it up and officially resigned with the EWC. I’m no longer an employee with the EWC and my contract is officially served. Although, TMZ.com will have their hands full when they get to reporting about the gag order the EWC will try to place one me afterwards…. Well, fuck them.
Level-One cracks a sly smile. Then men beside him don’t move an inch, as if they were frozen in time. In fact, Level-One almost doesn’t even notice that they are there.
Last week as you may or may not know; I also spoke of a challenge. A challenge to someone who I have had a deep history with, and have never quite tied up the loose ends. While I may not work there anymore, while I may no longer be obligated to stay on the EWC’S sinking ship; there is still loose ends which with my own hands I must tie.
Everyone I have came in contact with so far; as crumbled beneath me. With the words they speak, with the walk they flaunt; I take it; I smash their ego, and I give it back to them in broken pieces. Leaving them lost, confused, leaving them to repair it. And they never seem to be able to fully recover. But this…this guy, he’s different. I’ve broken him time and time again; and he just keeps on piecing himself together. No matter how far ahead of him I am, he’s always taking strides to keep up.
This man; as much as I hate him. He’s just like me. I know, to him he must hate hearing it. Hell, I hate even coming to the realization of the fact. The facts are though, everything from our career to our personality have striking similarities. Every title I would drop, this man would pick up and carry it over his shoulders. Last week, I dropped the World Heavyweight Championship, in hopes that someone of worth would pick it up…
…Crazy Man
You see, there is one big problem with that. Crazy Man, you aren’t worthy! When I saw you boasting around with MY world title, it was a splash of cold water waking me back into a state of reality. And that is; you are still alive, and you are still following me every step of the way. But for a second, let’s face the facts. You are always 10 steps behind. Every single time we stepped into the ring with each-other; I walked out with victory over my head.
And now Crazy Man as I continue to run on this track to legendary status and stardom, I tilt my head and I see my reflection running with me. There’s only one problem. Only one of us can reach that status, and do you REALLY think I’m going to give my reflection even the slightest chance? No. I pick up my pace, I run faster…I don’t look back anymore.
So, it’s come to this....
Level-One turns to the security guard who takes one solid stride forward before placing the briefcase on the oak wood desk in-front of Level-One, who eyes at the brief case like a kid at the candy store. The guard flicks open the latches, exposing a white piece of piece of paper in the brief case. The security guard turns the brief case towards the camera, as Level-One folds his hands behind it.
Strangle Mania 7 is quickly approaching, Crazy Man. The end to all our problems, both mine and yours—is in this contract. Crazy Man, I am challenging you to a match at Strangle Mania 7 to end this once and for all. Hell, I’m even willing to do it on YOUR home court. Crazy Man, you have one week to accept this challenge. Failure to do so? And the entire world will see through your heart, and feast on your fear like the maggots they are.
This is what you wanted, isn’t it? To finally pass me in your year long chase? To finally beat me in the middle of the ring, and prove to me you aren’t a worthless piece of shit? Well, guess what I want Crazy Man. I want to pass the finish line. I want you to regain your breath, tell yourself you aren’t good enough, and then walk all away back to the EWC and fight for whatever cause you feel worthy of.
See, Crazy Man. When you look deeper into things, we both want the same things. We both want to break the other. Crazy Man, remember when you said I wanted the world to watch the whole world burn?
Level-One lowers his head, holding back a burst of laughter.
Your right. My world; was the EWC. And, I’d love to watch it burn. You do too, Crazy Man. Oh, yes you do. You want to watch it burn, because putting out the fire afterwards is your way to becoming some type of hero. You want to be the man that stops me…
Level-One shakes his head before getting up out of his chair. Exposing a match, he lights it up with his shoe. He moves towards the Strangle Mania 7 advertisement, before setting it ablaze. The fire quickly spreads, as the large poster slowly begins to crumble up, the lower half is already burnt to ash.
…but you won’t be able to put this flame out. No, you will be consumed by it.
I'm not sorry…
Level-One slowly backs away, as the fire continues to spread up the Strangle Mania 7 poster. Until the flames consume it all... Every... last...bit.
We then cut to the Overdrive intro video
The video ends and Pyro goes off and the camera goes to ringside
Chase: Welcome to Overdrive where we are just 13 days away from Christmas Chaos and we found out last week the main event
Harvey: A long Island Death match between Sabur, Dr. Matt and Trevor Blackwell.
Chase: But tonight, we will see Trevor Blackwell in action in tonight’s main event against The Hardcore Kid, who last week, shocked the world and turned on his partner, Jason Royce.
Harvey: I know Jason wasn’t happy about that.
Chase: Speaking of Royce, he’s taking Fyre Angel for the Xtreme Title in our opening contest, and I’ve gotten word just a few minutes ago before we went on the air that President Jeff has made this match a Chain Match.
Harvey: Jason and Fyre will be strapped to the wrist by a chain. No where’s to run now.
Chase: Lets go to the ring for that match
Tony: The opening contest is a Chain match and it’s for the APW XTREME CHAMPIONSHIP
“Scars” by Papa Roach hits the PA and Jason Royce walks out
Tony: Introducing first, the challenger, He is the Iceman, Jason ROYCE!
Royce makes his way down to the ring and the ref locks his wrist in with the chain
The lights dim as Thoughtless plays and fireworks shoots up in a wall of fireworks. The fireworks die down as kalayla stands on the stage giving the fans a sick smirk the spotlight reflecting off two ninja sais.
Tony: And his opponent, from Dallas Texas. She is the current APW Xtreme Champion…FYRE ANGEL!
She makes her way down the ramp stopping at the bottom of the ramp. Kalayla reaches up grabbing the middle rope pulling herself up and turning to face the stage kicking her long legs up over her head back flipping into the ring posing for the fans. The ref then hooks her wrist in on the end of the chain
Chase: I can’t believe it, Jason Royce won a singles title in APW.
Harvey: Hell must have frozen over.
The ref hands Jason the belt and Jason acts all excited as Carl Cage gets into the ring to celebrate the victory. Out from the crowd, The Hardcore Kid jumps the ring barrier , grabs a chair and slides into the ring and nails Carl in the back, sending him down. The noise makes Jason turn around and Jason gets nailed in the head with the Steel chair. The Kid then gets on top of Royce and starts laying in the punches. The Kid see’s Carl getting up and gets out of the ring. Carl helps Jason and Royce signals for a microphone.
Jason: Look Kid, you really seem to think you carried Hardcore Ice, I mean it was me that though of the name, the music, everything about Hardcore Ice, and all you did was cost us match after match after match, you think I held you back, well you are wrong it was all you, and only you.
The Kid grabs a mic of his own
THK: Look here Jason. I left you for a reason. I wanted a singles title and all you wanted was the tag titles, the tag division is going nowhere and us as a tag team well just plain sucked, just like you.
Jason: Look Hardcore Kid, next week I challenge you to a Revenge match, cause as you put it I am going to prove just who carried Hardcore Ice and beat your ass till you bleed what do you say, or are you going to hang your balls and run like the bitch that you are??
THK: you are on see you next week.
Jason: That’s if you make it to next week.
Just then President Jeff makes his way out on the stage.
Jeff: Hold on a minute you two. I don’t know who you think you are, but you don’t make the matches around here, I do. Now, next week boys, It won’t be The Hardcore Kid verses Jason Royce. But, you two will have a chance to beat the crap out of each other because next week, It will be Jason Royce teaming up with Carl Cage taking on The Hardcore Kid and Fyre Angel!
Jason and Carl nod their head in approval.
Jeff: And that’s not all. At Christmas Chaos Jason, you will be defending that Xtreme Title. Carl, remember when you beat Fyre at November Reign to earn a title shot, well, your getting it. BUT, Fyre Angel deserves a rematch, so she’s getting that at Christmas Chaos. And for the Hell of it, I’m throwing the Hardcore Kid into the match as well. Fatal 4 way Xtreme Title match at Christmas Chaos. Merry Christmas!
Jeff’s music hits and he walks off the stage
Chase: What a match that should be.
Harvey: I still can’t believe that Jason won the title.
Chase: We’ll be right back
