Raleigh, North Carolina
After Overdrive…
Backstage after the latest Overdrive episode APW superstar Michael Jennings has gone to the green room to meet with his family members who were in attendance. His cousin Harrison lives in Raleigh and is there with his daughter Judith and his young son Ash. His other cousin Rod is there with his daughters Autumn and Summer as well as his son Dean. However the real tension is between Michael and his father Trevor. Michael has been talking with his family for a few minutes but his father Trevor finally opens his mouth about how he thinks his son is a ‘garbage wrestler.’ This comment makes Michael angry to the point where he kicks a nearby garbage can. The camera, which had been watching from a distance, runs over to film the entire situation. Michael’s cousin Summer, who he is close to, is trying to calm him down before he gets violent.
Summer: Michael, calm down…
Michael shakes his head as he continues to try and get at his father which Summer is preventing.
Jennings: I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!
Summer blocks him from getting close to his father as she tries to calm the situation down.
Summer: Jesus Michael not in front of the family!
Instead of continuing to yell and trying to fight his father he instead stops doing what he was doing. At this point he gets a sick, twisted smile on his face as he starts to unleash a verbal tirade filled with all of his feelings about the situation that he’s had bottled up inside for years.
Jennings: And why not? Some of them agree with what I’m saying and you know it! I know you don’t want them to see me like this but they see it every week on television when I appear. They know how I feel about this industry and why I MUST do the things that I do on national television.
Finally after hearing the verbal tongue lashing his son is dishing out Trevor finally speaks out.
Trevor: Son…
Before he can say anything else Michael interrupts his father and goes on a big rant about his father and the things he has done in the past.
Jennings: SHUT THE FUCK UP, DAD! You’re the reason I hate this business. It’s a well-known fact that I got into this industry and have the feelings that I do because of you, dad. You treated me like shit so I got into the business to be better than you while at the same time making your life miserable. I did both of those things very successfully. When I left the business in 2011 I’d already made an impact. In fact I caused your break up with the slut of girlfriend you were dating. In fact you’ve only dated sluts, strippers, and whores since my mother died. You abused alcohol and drugs while vilifying those things on wrestling shows. But the moment the cameras stopped rolling you’d start having sex with whores and snorting cocaine off of them. You’re nothing but a hypocrite, dad. And when I have kids I’m going to make sure that they’re not fucked up like I’m fucked up because of you.
Trevor has finally heard enough and responds to what his son has said. The tension amongst the family members is visible as the argument escalates.
Trevor: You’re such a hypocrite, son. You get to these shows and start acting like a sociopath yet when you’re not here you’re the kindest human being alive. I don’t get it. It’s like you completely change personalities.
After hearing what his father has to say Michael can only shake his head at the ignorance of the man who in his mind ruined his life.
Jennings: You just don’t get it, do you dad? I change personalities because everything in this business reminds me of you. And I HATE you, dad. I really do. That’s why I act the way I do. Some interviewer from the media compared me to Jeffrey Dahmer the other week if that tells you anything.
These comments resonate with his cousin Autumn who is clearly siding with Michael as it relates to this situation with his father.
Autumn: I like his attitude. Michael is making the family proud.
Her cousin Harry, who is also a former wrestler in the northeast like Michael’s father, agrees with her assessment and is also siding with Michael.
Harry: I agree. He is making the biggest impact in this industry out of any Jennings family member which is saying a lot considering how invested this family is in wrestling. He is going to be the first Jennings to win a World Heavyweight Championship, mark my words on that.
Upon hearing this Trevor scoffs at the remarks, brushing them aside as nonsense when he hears them.
Trevor: Not with how he acts at the shows…
That pot shot from his father sets Michael off again.
Jennings: It’s better than acting like an asshole to your family like you did to me! Your horrible parenting is what turned me into what I am today, dad.
Summer has finally had enough of the bickering and is trying to calm the entire situation down.
Summer: Will you two calm down.
Michael, who is livid over what his father has said and done, is not dropping the argument.
Jennings: Not after what this bastard has done to me and to our family. My uncle, his brother, had a heart attack that he eventually died of complications from. That’s what you’ve done, dad. You’ve fucked up my life and helped caused the death of your own brother.
Upon hearing this Trevor continues to instigate the situation even further.
Trevor: That you reaped the benefits of. YOU got all his money…
At this point Michael erupts into a rage upon hearing his father’s comments about what happened after his uncle died.
Jennings: BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT YOU TO HAVE IT BECAUSE YOU’D BLOW IT ALL ON DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND WHORES!
As soon as those words leave Michael’s mouth his girlfriend Paxar Vega and Reya Serra come over to see what the big commotion is about.
Paxar: What in the fudgecakes is going on?
Michael points to his father.
Jennings: This asshole is starting up shit that doesn’t need to be started up.
Reya: Oh dear...
Paxar: That may be so Michael and I know you don’t get along with him, but you should still show him some respect. After all, he is your father...
Jennings: I know he’s my father but he treats people like garbage. He plays up this All American, Average Joe middle class persona on the shows but the moment the cameras stop rolling he turns into the most cold hearted son of a bitch alive.
Paxar: People can act differently depending on whether or not the cameras are off, Michael. You, more than most others, should know that.
Michael gives her a look.
Jennings: I get that but the fact is the guy is a heartless brute when he’s away from the shows.
They both notice Trevor checking out Reya which unnerves them as well as the Jennings women who are with the group.
Trevor: Mmmm…I like her.
Michael turns and gives his father a look.
Jennings: You serious?
Trevor nods his head.
Trevor: I like tight women like her. I bet she’s a virgin, too. I’d break her in half when I deflower her once she’s in my bed.
Michael turns and motions to Reya and Paxar who’s jaws are almost about to hit the floor after hearing what Trevor said.
Jennings: You see what I mean? Do you see what I’m talking about now?
Reya: Unfortunately, yes I do see what you mean...
Paxar: That’s just...gross...
Summer: I agree. That was disgusting, Trevor.
Trevor licks his lips as he continues to check out Reya.
Trevor: I’ll make you scream the lord’s name in vain when I deflower you, cutie.
Michael can only shake his head.
Jennings: My father, ladies and gentlemen.
Reya: Your father, the degenerate.
Paxar: Your father, who if he doesn’t watch his filthy mouth, is going to get a boot to the face by one of the three of us...
Jennings: If I wanted to kick his ass, I would by now.
Paxar: I don’t see how you’ve managed to restrain yourself from doing it for this long. You nearly went berserko just by passing Biggs’ dressing room last week.
Jennings: But the Biggs thing was different…
Paxar: Because we were there to keep you from storming in and bashing his brains in...
Reya: Perhaps our presence, albeit brief, aided in calming him down...much like it is at the moment, I believe.
Jennings: Very true. And you both are right. I should keep my emotions in check better. It’s just when I’m at the shows and around the business all the bad feelings about my father come to the surface which is why I’m so out of control when the cameras start rolling. It’s my cross to bear.
Reya: Like that barbed wire cross you were carrying around?
Michael smiles at her.
Jennings: That was a tribute to you. YOU inspired that with all of your religious talk when I came over to see you and Paxar the other day.
Reya: I would much rather be an inspiration for your faith in the Lord than your constructions of brutal weaponry that you could use to assault others.
Paxar: Oddly enough I agree with Reya on this one, actually.
Trevor: Mmmmm…a religious girl. Can you put on a school girl outfit when I give you anal for the first time?
They all turn and give him a look.
Jennings: Dad, shut the hell up before I…
In the middle of this Michael’s little cousin Ash walks over to him and tugs on his hand to get his attention. Michael turns and looks down at him.
Jennings: Yes, what is it Ash?
Ash holds out a pen and a photograph of Michael.
Ash: Can I get your autograph Uncle Mike?
Michael smiles at him.
Jennings: Sure thing, kid.
He takes the pen and photograph before he signs them for Ash. As he’s doing this Ash turns to his father.
Ash: Look dad, Uncle Mike is signing my autograph.
Upon finishing he hands the photo and pen back to Ash. He turns to Paxar and Reya.
Ash: Thanks Uncle Mike.
Jennings: You’re welcome, Ash.
Paxar: Aww...how sweet.
Reya: Not to mention quite a kind gesture to do something so nice for your cousin.
He soon leans over and whispers to both of them.
Jennings: Thanks, ladies. You’re both right about me. You’re both right…
He then goes back to where he was at before turning back to his family.
Jennings: Well now that we got all that out of the way, Paxar, Reya, this is my family.
They all take turns greeting each other as the scene fades out.

Pacific Palisades, California
Afternoon…
Inside of Michael Jenning’s house the living room is dark and there’s a movie just ending on the television judging by the music playing along with the credits on his big flatscreen television screen on the wall. On the couch Michael is sitting with his girlfriend Paxar Vega cuddling and talking about things.
Jennings: This has been so much fun, baby.
Paxar: It sure has! An awesome movie, an awesome man and awesome cuddling.
Jennings: I think we should watch Godzilla: King of the Monsters next.
Paxar: I think that’s a great idea.
Jennings: Yeah it should be good. I’m already counting down the days until next May when it comes out in theaters:
Paxar: Me too! It’s going to be sweet!
Michael smiles after hearing this.
Jennings: After this we should go out to dinner and then go see Pacific Rim.
Paxar: I like the way you think, baby.
Jennings: Awesome. You should call Reya and see if she wants to go to the movie too.
Paxar: We could, I suppose. We both do enjoy her company, even if she is kind of like a third wheel sometimes.
Jennings: Yeah I agree with that. I think we need to find her a new man though.
Paxar: I tried that once...it didn’t work out too well. I think she’d be better off trying to find one on her own.
Jennings: True. Hopefully if she finds one he doesn’t have a fucked up family situation like I have.
Paxar: Your family’s got its share of problems, but it’s not that bad.
Jennings: Well my family is a mess. We’re close but it’s a mess. My father is a douchebag. Some of my cousins are completely insane. I’m normal until I get to the shows and all those pent up feelings about my father come to the forefront and I turn into a soulless sociopathic serial killer type. That’s my whole issue.
Paxar: You can overcome those issues though, Michael. I know you can.
He leans over and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
Jennings: You’re truly wonderful, you know that? And I’m the luckiest guy in the world because I see it.
Paxar: And I am the luckiest girl because I see how awesome you are.
Jennings: You’re beautiful. In the midst of the wrestling wars that I participate in on a weekly basis you are the only thing that brings me peace.
Paxar: Such sweet words from such a great man. I love you, Michael Jennings.
Jennings: I love you too.
Paxar: So...what’s next?
Jennings: Okay movie time and then dinner before we see Pacific Rim.
Paxar smiles brightly at him as the scene fades out.

Night…
The weather in the Hollywood Hills at night is cooler than normal which makes the night a lot chillier than usual. The sky is a lot darker than normal too giving a more forbidding tone to the background of the scene. Michael Jennings walks on screen with devious smile on his face. In fact he looks almost sinister with his facial expression. The only lighting in the entire scene is coming from the camera although the lights of the city of Los Angeles fill up the bottom half of the background. Michael walks slowly across the screen and begins talking as he continues to walk across the grassy covered hill.
Jennings: This is the time of year when people apparently lose all sense of logic and reason…
Michael’s facial expression turns to hate and anger as he continues his monologue.
Jennings: People like Biggs who decided to pick a fight with a man like me. You came on live television and decided to run your mouth about me. My response wasn’t a pleasant one, either. I came into your little interview session and I beat your ass all over the arena. I beat the brains out of the side of your head with a chair and left you laying in a heap before your little boyfriend Watson showed. I guess that shows that you need help in order to keep me from kicking your ass. That’s what I do best Biggs and if you want to continue down this route I will make you pay worse than you’ve paid already. Expect more blood to be spilled and more concussions are in your future if you continue to mess with me. But there’s more people here in APW who have lost all sense of logic and reason…
He’s clearly about to go over the edge as he takes a short pause
Jennings: People like Amy Zing who come on here and demand World Heavyweight Championship title matches despite the fact that the thing they have done nothing relevant for months. Zing, the thing you’re most known for in this industry is showing your tits in a magazine for guys to jerk off to. And honestly I have fapped to your pictures before. You’re a gorgeous woman but I only wanted back when I was single and looking for tail but now I’m not interested in whores like you now that I’m dating a real woman.
He chuckles to himself briefly before he continues to rip into Amy Zing over her comments to him.
Jennings: That’s all you’re good for, Zing. A semi-good lay and shooting a load while looking at your nude photographs. You do have good tits but this isn’t about sex. This is about wrestling, not who looks the best taking their clothes off and in my opinion you’re just another attention whore diva who is a dime a dozen in this industry. Now you go run along and lose to Envi this week while I continue my reign of terror against the best of the best here in APW. Wrestlers like A.C. Smith who is my opponent this week.
He pauses for a moment and has an extremely angry look on his face. However he soon stops looking angry as he begins to smile before continuing.
Jennings: A.C. Smith, a man who’ve I’ve met once before in the ring. A man who eliminated me last to move on in the Second Chance Battle Royal not too long ago. A man who is still the Xtreme Champion as on now. And yet ANOTHER champion here in APW who is too afraid to put the belt on the line against me…
Not surprised by that at all. You know that in this match I’m Godzilla and you are Tokyo. I will break you, I will destroy you, and I will burn you to the ground…
Just like I plan on doing to APW.
A sick smile creeps across his face after he says this. He looks like a sick, deranged lunatic as he continues to speak.
Jennings: Now the last time we met you got the upper hand. You eliminated me to win the battle royal. Well now it’s my turn. I am going to make your life a living hell this week in the ring. Now you are one of the biggest and the baddest here in APW. In fact you’re the current APW Xtreme Champion. Yet the title isn’t on the line which is a travesty of justice because I’d beat your ass for that title and Alexander Duvall knows it. I’m the real asskicker around here, Smith. It’s well known that I am not here to entertain. I go out to that ring each and every week to hurt people. That’s what I do and that’s what you’re going to find out first hand, son.
Looking over your biography you went from being a cop to a bouncer to a wrestler. Then you came into money like I did but I didn’t have friends giving me stock tips to get my money. I got it in an inheritance that my uncle gave to me so my scumbag of a father didn’t end up with the money. In fact I’ll go so far as to say that we have a lot of things in common. However there is a difference between you and I. And that one difference is I’ll do whatever it takes to win the match whereas you will not. You’ll continue to pander to the fans who cheer for you like a bunch of trained circus seals. That’s where I have the edge. You see I could care less about the fans or rules. I’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.
That isn’t meant to degrade you either, Smith. It’s just an observation that I am the most vicious and ruthless wrestler in this match. Possibly the most dangerous man in all of APW according to some people. That’s what I am. I’m the only guy here who’s been on wanted posters over the past year not named Stefan Raab. Smith, I don’t think you realize what you’re getting into when you step into the ring with a man like me. See I’m not like these other wrestlers around here who will show weakness in the ring via emotion or compassion. I will hurt you and show no remorse or regret about it. That’s what sets me apart from everybody else here. What happens when I get to the shows is I turn into a soulless, heartless serial killer. And you can thank my father for that…
Every time I step foot in ring I look across the ring and I picture my father. Backstage at the shows I look around and everything reminds me of my father. My father took me to wrestling shows when I was a kid and treated me like shit until the camera started rolling and he became the All American, working class good guy that all the fans knew him as. But when those cameras stopped rolling he became a monster. When I go out to that ring I turn into an even more vile monster than he was. That’s what should worry you and everybody else who steps into that ring with me, Smith. If I have to mutilate you in order to win this match I will. I’ve already challenged Level One so that should tell you that I’m on a mission to go straight to the top here in APW. It should also tell you that I have no fear of him or any other champion here including you.
I’m not going to come out here and say a whole bunch a things that are false in order to make you and everybody else take me seriously. I’m not going to lie, I have lost a few matches here recently most notably to Evan Envi. I’m not going to deny any of that since I don’t give a shit about wins or losses anyway. Win, lose, or draw I go out to that ring to kick people’s asses. That’s what I do. I’m not going out there to pin you, Smith. After what you did to me to win the battle royal I am going to make you suffer in a very painful way. Your belt isn’t on the line but your physical and emotional torment will be sufficient enough for me as compensation for this not being a championship match. I know and you know that the only reason it isn’t is because management doesn’t want a man like me to be a champion around here. I don’t fit the bill as to what they look for in a champion although you do. You are a man the people like. You’re also a man who will do whatever they tell you to do. You’re not a free thinker or a rebel like I am. See I question a lot of things going on around here which the powers that be don’t like. But then again I’m not some mindless zombie who’s going to do whatever the hell they want like you do. This match is simple to explain to the humanoids watching at home. It’s the Brutish Sheep against the Freethinking Rebel. That’s the best way to look at this.
On Overdrive I plan on humbling another Tin God around here who’s been put on a pedestal by both the fans and management alike. That’s what my motivation is in this match. To bring you back down to Earth with the rest of us. I’m sick and tired of the same guys being promoted all the time while the rest of us fight, scratch, and claw for whatever table scraps are leftover. On Overdrive I will beat your ass and show you that I’m the apex predator around here. When you introduce an apex predator like me into an ecosystem like here in APW it basically destroys that ecosystem. Look at the changes that have happened since my arrival and you will see that is what has happened in APW. You are nothing more than prey to me, Smith. I’ll see you in the ring.
Michael walks off screen as the scene fades to black.

After Overdrive…
Backstage after the latest Overdrive episode APW superstar Michael Jennings has gone to the green room to meet with his family members who were in attendance.

Paxar: I tried that once...it didn’t work out too well. I think she’d be better off trying to find one on her own.
Jennings: True. Hopefully if she finds one he doesn’t have a fucked up family situation like I have.
Paxar: Your family’s got its share of problems, but it’s not that bad.
Jennings: Well my family is a mess. We’re close but it’s a mess. My father is a douchebag. Some of my cousins are completely insane. I’m normal until I get to the shows and all those pent up feelings about my father come to the forefront and I turn into a soulless sociopathic serial killer type. That’s my whole issue.
Paxar: You can overcome those issues though, Michael. I know you can.
He leans over and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
Jennings: You’re truly wonderful, you know that? And I’m the luckiest guy in the world because I see it.
Paxar: And I am the luckiest girl because I see how awesome you are.
Jennings: You’re beautiful. In the midst of the wrestling wars that I participate in on a weekly basis you are the only thing that brings me peace.
Paxar: Such sweet words from such a great man. I love you, Michael Jennings.
Jennings: I love you too.
Paxar: So...what’s next?
Jennings: Okay movie time and then dinner before we see Pacific Rim.
Paxar smiles brightly at him as the scene fades out.

Night…
The weather in the Hollywood Hills at night is cooler than normal which makes the night a lot chillier than usual. The sky is a lot darker than normal too giving a more forbidding tone to the background of the scene. Michael Jennings walks on screen with devious smile on his face. In fact he looks almost sinister with his facial expression. The only lighting in the entire scene is coming from the camera although the lights of the city of Los Angeles fill up the bottom half of the background. Michael walks slowly across the screen and begins talking as he continues to walk across the grassy covered hill.
Jennings: This is the time of year when people apparently lose all sense of logic and reason…
Michael’s facial expression turns to hate and anger as he continues his monologue.
Jennings: People like Biggs who decided to pick a fight with a man like me. You came on live television and decided to run your mouth about me. My response wasn’t a pleasant one, either. I came into your little interview session and I beat your ass all over the arena. I beat the brains out of the side of your head with a chair and left you laying in a heap before your little boyfriend Watson showed. I guess that shows that you need help in order to keep me from kicking your ass. That’s what I do best Biggs and if you want to continue down this route I will make you pay worse than you’ve paid already. Expect more blood to be spilled and more concussions are in your future if you continue to mess with me. But there’s more people here in APW who have lost all sense of logic and reason…
He’s clearly about to go over the edge as he takes a short pause
Jennings: People like Amy Zing who come on here and demand World Heavyweight Championship title matches despite the fact that the thing they have done nothing relevant for months. Zing, the thing you’re most known for in this industry is showing your tits in a magazine for guys to jerk off to. And honestly I have fapped to your pictures before. You’re a gorgeous woman but I only wanted back when I was single and looking for tail but now I’m not interested in whores like you now that I’m dating a real woman.
He chuckles to himself briefly before he continues to rip into Amy Zing over her comments to him.
Jennings: That’s all you’re good for, Zing. A semi-good lay and shooting a load while looking at your nude photographs. You do have good tits but this isn’t about sex. This is about wrestling, not who looks the best taking their clothes off and in my opinion you’re just another attention whore diva who is a dime a dozen in this industry. Now you go run along and lose to Envi this week while I continue my reign of terror against the best of the best here in APW. Wrestlers like A.C. Smith who is my opponent this week.
He pauses for a moment and has an extremely angry look on his face. However he soon stops looking angry as he begins to smile before continuing.
Jennings: A.C. Smith, a man who’ve I’ve met once before in the ring. A man who eliminated me last to move on in the Second Chance Battle Royal not too long ago. A man who is still the Xtreme Champion as on now. And yet ANOTHER champion here in APW who is too afraid to put the belt on the line against me…
Not surprised by that at all. You know that in this match I’m Godzilla and you are Tokyo. I will break you, I will destroy you, and I will burn you to the ground…
Just like I plan on doing to APW.
A sick smile creeps across his face after he says this. He looks like a sick, deranged lunatic as he continues to speak.
Jennings: Now the last time we met you got the upper hand. You eliminated me to win the battle royal. Well now it’s my turn. I am going to make your life a living hell this week in the ring. Now you are one of the biggest and the baddest here in APW. In fact you’re the current APW Xtreme Champion. Yet the title isn’t on the line which is a travesty of justice because I’d beat your ass for that title and Alexander Duvall knows it. I’m the real asskicker around here, Smith. It’s well known that I am not here to entertain. I go out to that ring each and every week to hurt people. That’s what I do and that’s what you’re going to find out first hand, son.
Looking over your biography you went from being a cop to a bouncer to a wrestler. Then you came into money like I did but I didn’t have friends giving me stock tips to get my money. I got it in an inheritance that my uncle gave to me so my scumbag of a father didn’t end up with the money. In fact I’ll go so far as to say that we have a lot of things in common. However there is a difference between you and I. And that one difference is I’ll do whatever it takes to win the match whereas you will not. You’ll continue to pander to the fans who cheer for you like a bunch of trained circus seals. That’s where I have the edge. You see I could care less about the fans or rules. I’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.
That isn’t meant to degrade you either, Smith. It’s just an observation that I am the most vicious and ruthless wrestler in this match. Possibly the most dangerous man in all of APW according to some people. That’s what I am. I’m the only guy here who’s been on wanted posters over the past year not named Stefan Raab. Smith, I don’t think you realize what you’re getting into when you step into the ring with a man like me. See I’m not like these other wrestlers around here who will show weakness in the ring via emotion or compassion. I will hurt you and show no remorse or regret about it. That’s what sets me apart from everybody else here. What happens when I get to the shows is I turn into a soulless, heartless serial killer. And you can thank my father for that…
Every time I step foot in ring I look across the ring and I picture my father. Backstage at the shows I look around and everything reminds me of my father. My father took me to wrestling shows when I was a kid and treated me like shit until the camera started rolling and he became the All American, working class good guy that all the fans knew him as. But when those cameras stopped rolling he became a monster. When I go out to that ring I turn into an even more vile monster than he was. That’s what should worry you and everybody else who steps into that ring with me, Smith. If I have to mutilate you in order to win this match I will. I’ve already challenged Level One so that should tell you that I’m on a mission to go straight to the top here in APW. It should also tell you that I have no fear of him or any other champion here including you.
I’m not going to come out here and say a whole bunch a things that are false in order to make you and everybody else take me seriously. I’m not going to lie, I have lost a few matches here recently most notably to Evan Envi. I’m not going to deny any of that since I don’t give a shit about wins or losses anyway. Win, lose, or draw I go out to that ring to kick people’s asses. That’s what I do. I’m not going out there to pin you, Smith. After what you did to me to win the battle royal I am going to make you suffer in a very painful way. Your belt isn’t on the line but your physical and emotional torment will be sufficient enough for me as compensation for this not being a championship match. I know and you know that the only reason it isn’t is because management doesn’t want a man like me to be a champion around here. I don’t fit the bill as to what they look for in a champion although you do. You are a man the people like. You’re also a man who will do whatever they tell you to do. You’re not a free thinker or a rebel like I am. See I question a lot of things going on around here which the powers that be don’t like. But then again I’m not some mindless zombie who’s going to do whatever the hell they want like you do. This match is simple to explain to the humanoids watching at home. It’s the Brutish Sheep against the Freethinking Rebel. That’s the best way to look at this.
On Overdrive I plan on humbling another Tin God around here who’s been put on a pedestal by both the fans and management alike. That’s what my motivation is in this match. To bring you back down to Earth with the rest of us. I’m sick and tired of the same guys being promoted all the time while the rest of us fight, scratch, and claw for whatever table scraps are leftover. On Overdrive I will beat your ass and show you that I’m the apex predator around here. When you introduce an apex predator like me into an ecosystem like here in APW it basically destroys that ecosystem. Look at the changes that have happened since my arrival and you will see that is what has happened in APW. You are nothing more than prey to me, Smith. I’ll see you in the ring.
Michael walks off screen as the scene fades to black.
