Roy Speede is sitting in his locker room, lacing up his boots in preparation for his upcoming match alongside D-Day on Meltdown. His attire is somewhat different this week, and features long pants instead of the traditional wrestling gear he has worn in the past. He also has on a pair of fingerless gloves, which are relatively new to his attire.
Roy Speede: “So, I’ve only got a short time before I head out to the ring, so I guess I’m going to have to talk while making the final preparations to my ring gear; hope nobody minds that, since that’s how it’s gotta be, but right now I’m still a bit weary after having to fly from the US of A to England, and then from England to Canada, all in a period of about four days. I’ve never liked flying in the first place, and having to go across the Atlantic twice in a week isn’t exactly my top priority right now.
But what is my top priority is wrestling, and sure, I didn’t exactly get the outcome I was hoping for against Kurt Noble on Overdrive, but nobody truly ever does expect me to win, do they? I mean, I’m just a Meltdown rookie going up against one of the biggest talents the company has to offer, right?
Ahh well, I’ll get him next time, and yes, that means Kurt Noble is definitely in my sights. But that’s some time a long way in the future; we’ll see what happens when it happens, and when I get my second shot at him, we’ll see just how things turn out for that match-up. In the mean time, I’ve got a lot more important things on my plate right now, and the first of those is a match right here in Manitoba, Canada against Warren Peace and Eric Steel.
I’ll start with Eric Steel, whose ring rust will make him look more like an iron alloy than steel. His last match in the APW was like, 2010 or so I think it was, and while that’s a pretty impressive time gap for the guy, I don’t think sitting on the sidelines for close to two and a half years is going to be anything positive for his in ring performance.
Actually, to tell the truth, I’m wondering whether he should even be stepping back into the ring at all, considering the facts. The guy didn’t get a very lucky first match back either; after all, The Silver Lining, Roy Speede is in transition toward moving to Overdrive, and his partner, D-Day, is not far behind as far as proceeding to a main brand.
Oh, wow, am I really referring to myself in third person? What am I, an idiot?
Sorry, I’m a bit ADHD at times. What were we talking about?
Oh yeah, I was just mentioning the fact that Eric Steel is going up against myself and D-Day in his first match back with the company, and how that’s seriously bad luck on his part to have to face the two of us, especially coming off of a loss at Christmas Chaos that has both D-Day and I pretty pissed off and really determined to show that loss was a fluke, because that’s exactly what it was.
Eric, if you’d like some advice on my part, new guy to returning guy, don’t come down to that ring, don’t step between the ropes, and don’t bother trying to compete against the two of us when that bell rings. You’re going to get yourself beaten and bruised, and you’ll be sorely regretting the fact that you’ve got a match against the two of us this week if you do, and I don’t want to be responsible for hurting a returning wrestler.
Well, I say I don’t want to be responsible, but I’m going to take my aggression out on somebody one way or another, and if you happen to be my opponent, it’s going to end up being you, Eric. I don’t really want to sound like a jackass here, but make sure the medical staff is on hand when you come to the ring or you’re going to be hurting pretty bad with nobody out there who can help you, and nobody who can help your partner.
Speaking of your partner, oh yeah, Warren Peace... Wait, who? I’m sorry, but that name just sounds like a comedy gimmick from the eighties and shouldn’t be used to label anybody currently wrestling in a major promotion, especially one like APW, that’s full of top quality talents. If anything, it’s more of a mockery to you to walk around calling yourself that than it is to all of us to have to fight against someone named Warren Peace, you know what I’m saying?
Your name is ‘Peace’, but there won’t be. There just won’t be any peace, and there won’t be any regret on the part of D-Day and myself when we beat you. It will be chaos, it will be misery, and it will be, well, pain for you and for your partner. Not to keep rambling on, but why, I ask, does someone with a name like Peace want to set foot in a wrestling ring to begin with?
I shouldn’t question that, to be honest. It’s really a gimme that it’s been your dream to wrestle, or something simple like that. After all, a lot of people have the dream of becoming a professional wrestler, but only a handful of them ever get to do it, and now that you’re getting your chance, you branded yourself with the first ridiculous ring name you could think of. Hell, I had a dream of becoming a wrestler once, and I thought of coming up with a ring name before I settled on using my real name. It’s a lot more recognizable, and ‘Roy Speede’ already sounds pretty badass if you ask me.
But again I suggest to you, don’t come down to the ring on Monday, because the pain you and your partner will feel will be completely real, and anything to say it won’t be is wrong. I know D-Day isn’t happy about losing our tag titles match, and I’m definitely not happy about it, and I can’t guarantee that I’m speaking for him, but I know I’m out for blood, and I want to hurt somebody after that lackluster performance on my part not only at Christmas Chaos but on Overdrive just a few days ago, and you two are the ones that I’m going to be getting m chance to compete against.
So you can sit there and promise yourselves that your big return is going to be a successful one, or that your match is going to be an easy victory, or that D-Day and I are just a couple of talentless hacks who got lucky in a couple of matches as a tag team, and try to convince yourselves, and convince anyone else watching, that you’re actually talented in the ring, can work as a duo, and may in fact be able to beat us, but the truth is that you two simply can’t, and D-Day and I won’t hesitate to prove that to you.
Just ask Nick Watson and Amy Zing. Just ask Evan Envi and Delikado. You’ll realize that D-Day and I are everything we’re hyped to be, and that a couple of poor performances on my part or on his part and a couple of losses don’t’ mean a thing to the two of us. We’re just going to keep right on moving, pushing through, and becoming the best tag team in the company while subsequently proving we’re the best singles wrestlers in this company, and there’s nothing you nor anyone else in this company can do about that.
Steel, Peace, I could sit here and mock you guys all night if I wanted to, but chances are that by now, nobody even cares what I’ve got to say anymore. I’ve said a mouth full, and I’ve given my part in all of this, and now all that’s left to do is head down to the ring and let my actions show everyone that my words are the truth. D-Day and I are going to defeat the two of you with ease, and anything to say we’re not is wrong. Just wait, just see, and you’ll know that D-Day and I are destined for greatness, and a victory by the Dying Breed that was nothing more than a lucky fluke won’t keep us down.
If the sound of my voice is even still coming through to you, you’ll realize that you’re only minutes away from suffering and disappointment, and that D-Day and I are already in the zone. There’s nothing to say that you two can’t try your best to prove me wrong, but try all you want and you’ll still fall short, because D-Day and I are just that damned good. And all that remains is one simple little question...
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!?!”
