Depeche Mode's “Spacewalker” plays over the starry background as the words FIRST CONTACT flash across the screen in blue letters. The video then transitions to Biggs in the IWC Arena locker room, where he has set up a curtain partition, separating himself from the rest of the wrestlers. He's already in his ring gear, and has the Overdrive Championship set on the bench next to where he's sitting. He looks into the camera and begins to speak.
Biggs: As I sit here in the IWC Arena, moments before my match with Chris Cyrus, I want to set the record straight on a few things Chris Cyrus said in his most recent mockery of my great web show. Firstly, you said that I think I'm too big for IWC. I don't think that I'm too big for IWC, I know that I'm too big for IWC! And even though it's now officially APW Asylum, the fact remains that it's still taking place in some dingy, worn out gym that can barely be called an arena! I don't even have the chance to come out to my normal, bombastic style, instead settling for just my music. I offered to finance my entrance myself, but the gosh darn building code wouldn't allow for it! So for that reason alone, I'm bigger than Asylum. But that doesn't even touch up on the fact that Asylum, for it's entire existence, has largely thrived on garbage wrestling, the hardcore style, that quite frankly is beneath me. You say that it's beneath you as well, but even though you don't participate in it, by staying in IWC, you tacitly accept it! You're not as anti-hardcore as you make yourself out to be, but I guess you've been rotting your brain down here so long that you've failed to see it for yourself!
Secondly, Cyrus, I never said that you were a bad wrestler. To the contrary, I said that you were a great wrestler, just one who's been in a rut as of late. If you had actually listened to what I said, you would know that I acknowledged the fact that you're a former APW Triple Crown Champion, holding every title except for the APW World Heavyweight Championship. You don't accomplish something like that by being a bad wrestler. Heck, you don't accomplish that by being merely a good wrestler. The fact of the matter is this, Cyrus, is that as good as you are, I'm simply better. My current Overdrive Title run is the thing of legends! You can try and mock my competition, but the fact of the matter is that you would not have been able to accomplish what I have under the same circumstances! As I've said before, Chris Cyrus, I have established myself as the absolute greatest Overdrive Champion in APW history! No other Overdrive Champion has had a title run quite like mine, no one has ever had a run of such quality or quantity! Quite simply put, I've earned the distinction of being called the greatest Overdrive Champion of all time, and nothing you or anyone can say will be able to diminish what I've accomplished!
As for your issues with me forgiving Ellie, but not you, it's real simple, Cyrus, in that whether or not Ellie came on to you, the fact is that you allowed it to happen. And after I understandably walked out, you continued to have a physical relationship with her until I forced you out of APW following out Steel Cage Match. You can try to paint the picture of you being a caring, concerning friend all you want, but the fact is that you have no room to criticize me for leaving her the way that I did. And if I remember correctly, didn't you just kick Ellie to the curb yourself after you lost to me last fall? Really, Cyrus, if you're going to point the finger at me, just realize that you're pointing three back at yourself!
But if it's really that important to you that I forgive you for hooking up with Ellie, I guess I can find it in my heart to forgive you for a moment of weakness. I can forgive you for being human. What I can't forgive you for is being an insufferable butt-head ever since! Ever since we went our separate ways, Chris Cyrus, all it's been about for you is trying to prove that you've stepped out of my shadow! All you've done is try to prove that you're the better man than me, and it's been to your determent. Rather than trying to be the best you can be, you've only been focused on being better than me. And while it's up to debate as to whether your best is actually, you know, better than me, the fact remains that you've allowed yourself to be consumed with this distraction. The reason I've had so much success since the split of the Axis of Awesome, while you've largely been stuck in a rut is that I haven't been obsessed with proving myself to be better than you in the same way you've been trying to outdo me, I've just been trying to prove that I'm the best, period! Better than you, better than Ryan Ruckus, better than Terry Marvin, just the flat out best, and it's helped me to become what I say that I am, and that is the single greatest Overdrive Champion of all time! Quite simply put, since the year 2011 has started, nobody in this business has been better than me! I have not lost a single match since the ball dropped on New Year's Eve! What makes you think that you'll be the one to be able to defeat me, Chris Cyrus? Do you really think the fact that we fought to a draw a month ago gives you some kind of edge that no other competitor has over me? Do you think that just because we used to be tag team partners, and that I've always beaten you, it's about time that you got the duke? Are you hoping that the third time's the charm, and that the law of averages will finally swing your way? Well keep hoping Cyrus, because that's all you've got over me!
Whether you like to admit it or not, Chris Cyrus, coming down to IWC was a huge step down for you from APW. And I bet you thought that you'd be able to walk right into here and win the big, gold belt. Or in the case of IWC, the big, tinfoil belt! But it really hasn't worked out for you here, Cyrus, has it? James Chambers has had your number, and so have I! You're not the big fish in the small pond that you thought you were! If you were, you would have accomplished something by now! As it stands, you've always been second best, the also-ran. Rather than thriving, you've been floundering! Rather than attaining your goals, you've just failed even more! I would feel pity for you, but like I've already said, you've done it to yourself. And when I defeat you in a few short hours, it'll just further re-enforce this fact! In due time, I'll be bringing you Crashing Down to Earth, because I'm quite simply out of this WORLD!
First Contact comes to a close, with “Spacewalker” playing again while the screen fades to black. The APW logo and copyright flashes across the bottom of the screen.
