Backstage in a random APW arena, sits 'The Archangel' Seth Storm with a DVD recorder and a television. The film crew there to record his latest diatribe assist with the hook-up as Seth gets ready. One coat and pair of sunglasses later and he's ready to go.
::APW Cameraman:: Ok Seth we're on in five, four, three...
He silently signals two then one, before the red light comes on and we're into the promo. Seth steps into frame applauding loudly, yet mockingly slow before actually speaking.
::Seth:: Well, that was some strong words there from Vin E Lambardo, and you know what i'm not even offended by anything he said. Washed up has-been? Doesn't bother me...I'm impressed that the man could string a sentence together without embarrassing himself or anyone ever associated with him. You see you quote the bible pretty well, but the good book isn't going to mean squat when we step into that ring...however if you really wanna get biblical, then lets play it your way.
Seth throws his glasses away and looks down the barrel of the camera.
::Seth:: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all -Ecclesiastes 9:11. Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute; scatter the peoples who delight in war - Psalm 68:30. You don't fully understand yet that my purpose is not to destroy but to save you all, in the name of all that is sacred in this business. I am here to redeem you all in the name of Professional Wrestling but if you do not want to be saved then I will lay waste to each and every person who opposes my mission, and right now you're just the first one on the list. Vin, you want to sit there and tell everyone your little sob stories about your hard upbringing well let us all shed a tear for poor Vin E Lambardo and his hard upbringing. People have bad shit happen to them every day and you know what the best of them do? They don't use it as an excuse! Your mom was killed, too bad. You talk about your life and treat yourself as the victim of everything, had to grow up tough and fight for money while most other people your age probably worked in a Haagen-Dazs store or asked "do you want fries with that?". You wanna know what i did throughout my teens? Won every amateur wrestling title available to me in first British Columbia, then in all of Canada. That's what I did, I worked my ass of to be the best just like I have every day of my life. You throw around Royce Gracie's name like it's something we should all stand back and be proud of you for doing. Congratulations you were trained by a guy who you were going to attack before he made a deal with you, that smacks of sincerity there doesn't it...You want to talk about your fucked up life growing up, that’s the US Government failing yet another who needed them but that’s another story for another time i guess. Now onto other comments you made. I decided rather then just quote you i would use video to show the few points that stood out best in your rambling.
Seth walks over to a DVD recorder and presses play, as we join Vin mid-sentence.
::Vin:: And who the fuck do you think you are coming in here and saying that you are going to save the business from the scum that has been infecting it, which scum would that be? You mean the ones who all wear gold around their waists. The scum that made APW the hottest thing to hit the biz since Mount Olympus. That same scum that night after night have come out here and tortured their own bodies all in the name of giving the fans what they want, while for the past two years you’ve sat back and barked orders while others bare the bruises.
::Seth:: First of all, who the fuck am I? I’m Seth Storm, and I am better than you will ever hope to be. I have lived for this business from the first day I ever saw it, and I will be damned if I let some street trash like YOU tell ME about these people and how they "give the fans what they want". The problem with these fans is that a lot of the time you have to protect them from themselves. They want you to go out there and bludgeon yourself or someone else till one of you can barely breathe as a bag of broken bones and blood. The American fans have become filled with blood lust and they don't care who, just so long as someone uses the chair or uses the barbed wire and they get their gore. And I am not labelling ALL American fans with this, sadly the few that respect TRUE wrestling get swallowed up by the throng chanting BORING at a match that is what this business is based on, Technical Skill. But no one has decided to use a glass table or a stiletto to finish their match, and it's become a cold hard fact of the business that a great deal of the dumb assed SMARKS, and to those of you at home that's what you are...they are part of the cancer in this business. The other half of which is the talent, and I use that term very loosely for 99% of them, that get stoned or get drunk and turn off the nascar just in time to come to the ring and put on what can only be described as a garbage wrestling debacle. These wrestlers perpetuate the notion that bloodshed and barbed wire violence are the norm and the fans not knowing any better follow like lemmings. Now Vin, you have a choice in this, you can follow the path that Trevor Blackwell, Spirit and all the others have walked and get glory without honor, or you can choose to work hard and show them that everything Royce Gracie taught you means a damn thing! That besides being the tragic case you are, you could show that you actually believe in everything that this business stands for and everything that this business has been, because without that you will be nothing more than just another waste of cash for Jeff, another mediocre talent with borderline Tourette's and a chip on his shoulder that's willing to mutilate his body to appease these fans.
Seth shakes his head a little in disgust at that idea, before continuing.
::Seth:: You talk about how you're going to walk into your debut match and you're going to, wait actually lets see how you put it.
Seth hits play again on this cut down version of Vin's promo.
::Vin:: Now I came here to do two things and two things only, One: Break People, and Two: get paid to do it….Well let’s add a third to that….And not go to jail over it. So spare me the lecture about how great you are and how you are the only real wrestler in the business anymore and all of your happy horse shit. Because when you step into the ring with me I am going to hurt you. Plain and simple, like you. Nothing flashy, nothing to compound, except for your fractures of course. I am going to lack and snap every joint in your body. And I’m not going to pin you, I am going to make you cry. You will submit, or you will die
Seth pauses as the fans cheer that comment, and looks back at the camera.
::Seth:: Ah, Shakespeare couldn't have put it better could he? You want to hurt me, i say go ahead. Try it, you think I’m some goddamn pushover? I was busting my ass winning titles while you were beating down junkies for their few remaining bucks. I've seen more intimidating things on a sushi train, and your tough talk does little to instil fear in me. All you've done is say a few little buzz words and make the threat of violence, and i assure you that's all it is, to get a reaction from these sheep that sit out there night after night with their Church of Kaos T-Shirts and their Diana Steel action figures cheering away as the whole business rides to hell in a hand basket. As long as i live and breathe that will not happen, this business will be saved if i have to destroy everyone in the APW to do it, and it looks like you've just stepped up to be the sacrificial lamb. Vin E Lambardo, you will fall like so many others before you because you don't realise that my time is only getting started. How can you fight if you can't walk, how can you snap my legs if you can't move your arms, and how can you defeat me if you're unconscious? I am gods gift to Professional Wrestling, the Saviour of the Squared Circle and one man you don't want to get riled up because if you do then on your head be it! And THAT my sad, pathetic little friend, is gospel...
Seth unpauses the DVD and we hear the crowd cheer for Vin as we fade to commercial.
