I Love The Way You Lie......to Yourselves

[ethancage]

-Press Start-

The camera comes in on our new World Heavyweight Champion backstage of Thursday Night Takedown. A night that didn't show much of our current champion, so we didn't get to see how much this title has boosted his love for this game. Within the last two weeks, there has been people coming out of the woodwork to try and diminish the shine of our MPW Champion. A man once said, "When a man is at his highest, there will be those around him that will fill their hearts with jealousy and place the blame of their own failures on you". And this week, one of those men have surfaced, there were rumors of the hater being within the locker room of the new champion. The little part of Ash Soulsfate's past is that he has always been hated on, was seen as a man that was great to push those already at the top, even further. Beat those down in front of them and made the name for himself that he's made in the MPW, but once it came to getting through the man with the title, Ash would mysteriously fall short. Well, today we are going to learn why, how's that, because Ash has heard those rumors of the hater being within the MPW doors as well. And with the pull our champion has invited the hater to the halls of the MPW by way of ticket. VIP ticket as a matter of fact, and why the fuck not, I mean he's the champion and the hater has to come on to HIS turf to what, show face? To tell people what Ash used to be, as if Ash was a dork in high school and the hater was the jock who picked on him, like a pathetic, whiny little bitch, as if he would win over a loyal locker room of men and women by way of being that same jackass? Oh yes, if you're about to watch this promo, you're about to witness the hater first hand, but a glimpse of the hater, whom Ash dealt with for two years in one company, and a year in another one. For three years, Ash was held down by a lowly bitch with the one of the lowest senses of self confidence in the world. But before we get to the hater, let's visit the night Ash Soulsfate won the World Championship title.

After Army of One

The camera comes on Ash Soulsfate standing in front of a monitor watching Drake Hunter at the end of the rumble. A smirk passes Ash's lips, and Ash nods and understands that it will be him and Drake at Road to Glory. The thoughts of training for such a momentous match passes his mind. Poe steps into the frame wearing a "my boyfriend is the world champion, what's yours?" tight baby tee and white short shorts and a pair of low top pink Chuck Taylors. She wraps her arm in his, one hand on his woman and the other on the World Heavyweight Championship, I have to say, life is pretty good about now. Poe leads Ash through the back where he is met by Bobby Ball, his agent, his balding hair looking even shinier as he's dressed in his best suit, as he now represents a company's world champion. He has a grin the size of Texas on his face.

Bobby: How ya doin' champ?

Ash: I suppose that's me now.

Ash looks over on his shoulder and sees the title on his shoulder and is found breathless yet again at the realization that he is the champion of one of the most respected companies in wrestling history.

Bobby: God damned right it's you.

Poe: It's amazing isn't it, we've gone from the X-Core Championship with Kuk Killswitch and Brandon Nytrus, to the World Champion against the boss of the company.

Bobby: You know it's not over though.

Ash: What do you mean?

Bobby: Johnny Clash's boss title means a lot less now that he doesn't have that title. He's going to scratch and skeem to get that title back.

Ash: And I welcome it, because this title means the world to me as far as my career. You see, I understand why it took so long to get it off of Trey. The feeling that I'm feeling right now, it's like you're invincible. It's like having a child, all I want to do is protect it with all I have.

Bobby: And you're going to, the way you handled yourself with that X-Core title, you bring even half of that determination to the table, and it's over.

Ash: Thanks Bobby.

Bobby: Don't thank me just yet, I have a present for you. Being that you just made me an ass load of money by winning that belt, you've gained Bobby Ball Management a new height of credibility, I've made arrangements.

Ash: Arrangements huh?

Bobby: Absolutely.

Ash looks back at Drake on the monitor.

Bobby: What are you kidding, he's going to be there when you get back, it's time to celebrate.

Ash: Fine.

Ash is about to walk out when Jay Wyatt interrupts his departure.

Wyatt: And just like that, you'd leave without giving me my interview?

Ash: Ah fuck, my bad, I mean it's your job, I forgot I was supposed to find you to get an interview from me.

Wyatt: Well, when you make it sound like that, but hey, you searched me out once while I was taking a shit and made me give an interview while I was on the toilet.

Ash: Oh yeah, good times.

Wyatt: Well, how does it feel to be holding the very goal you've set out for since day one?

Ash: The feeling is amazing Jay, I mean I think of who I am the champion over, the fuckin' roster right now is killer, and I'm a world champion over that incredible roster. And there is no better time to be holding this belt. The caliber of talent that's going to be coming after this belt is phenomenal and I welcome all those challenges. That's what I've been saying I was here for, to make 3 star matches 5 star, because that's something only I can do. And I did that tonight with Johnny Clash. I'm going to make his title reign one of the most forgotten eras of our time, like slap bracelets, just a phase.

Wyatt: And the news of Drake Hunter winning the rumble?

Ash: Good for him, he can't come home with a title but he can beat thirty other men, hey more power to him eh. Drake Hunter put himself on notice the very moment he won that rumble, because he's going to find out it was all for naught. This is the highest he's going to feel, and at the Road to Glory, it's going to be me retaining the title. You see Road to Glory is this company's highest viewed, most anticipated pay per view of the year, and you're looking at the man that is going to be in it's first main event and Jay, with that type of an honor, I'm not going to let that go to waste. A guy like Drake, he's going to fall at the pressure, and I'm going to rise higher than I ever have. If you think I thrived on getting to my title, wait until you see what I will go through to defend it. I've been Superstar of the month two years in a row, and that means more than this place can ever know. I'm being recognized for the work I put into my matches, my promos and my unwillingness to stop. What I do here, yes, I do for myself, but to be recognized for it, to have some pay back for what I do, that's what it means to be here in the MPW. And those that come after my title, they are going to have to work that hard to even come close and even then, I will surpass that.

Wyatt: Do you fear repercussions from Johnny Clash?

Ash: Like what, he and the rest of the shire are going to join forces, and throw some ring into a lava pit? This is real life, and the man can have all the money in the world and he can bring in Andre Dixon and Tristan Slater and whoever else he thinks can take away my title because he can't. But the fact of the matter is that whatever Johnny has planned, are attacks after matches, attacks during the show but you see, what matters is in that ring. His acts of desperation with all these attacks are a sad attempt to save face. What's sad is that everyone knows it.

Wyatt: What about Bliss' new goal of becoming World Champion, she's even pulled Poe into the her comments.

Ash: Bliss can say whatever she wants, I watch her promos on mute anyway.

Wyatt: And what about when you have a match?

Ash: It'll be the first time in the ring, I wrestle with a boner....op..scratch that, Jayden Brooklyn. And that Emi chick, I want to Yama her moto, oooff. Johnny Clash is hiring based on looks, and I have to say, he has great taste, but horrible wrestling ability.

Wyatt: What about the day when Trey comes back for his title?

Ash: I'm not scared of it, I welcome it, Trey Baxter versus Ash Soulsfate, are you fuckin' kidding me, that would tear the house down. You see, in a lot of people's eyes, he's still the World Champion, and it'll be my job to prove that I am on that level. Much like when people think of X-Core and the heights it could reach, they'll think of me, well, Trey can be the face of this company, but I'll always be the heart. My work ethic has proven that, and my matches are unparrelled. When Trey comes for this title, I'll be ready....and I'll be waiting.

Wyatt: What will you do as our champion?

Ash: I'm going to make people earn anything they get, when the day comes when someone takes this belt from me, they will have to go through the pits of hell to get it, but not Drake Hunter and not at Road to Glory, you see I've set personal goals for myself and winning on the pinnacle pay per view of our company, god damned right that's my goal right now. I will represent myself as a champion, but I'm still going to party, I'm still going to speak my mind and I'm still going to be fuckin' awesome. Say, you know what, I've picked on you a lot in the past, you want to come out and celebrate with us?

Wyatt: Is this the part where Poe superkicks me and I wake up in my own urine?

Ash: What the fuck, you pissed your pants after she kicked you?

Wyatt: It's very quick and I have a weak bladder.

Ash: Wow, you just said that in front of millions.

Wyatt's head drops.

Wyatt: I know.

Ash: Well come on out, enjoy a night out with the champ.

Wyatt: Sure.

Poe goes to superkick Wyatt but stops short of Wyatt's face, his eyes are bugging out.

Poe: Just kidding.

Poe and Bobby walk out.

Poe: Ash is right, that Emi chick really is fuckin' hot.

Bobby: Does she have representation?

The camera goes back to Ash who is about to leave but looks back at Jay Wyatt who hasn't budged.

Ash: Come on man, let's roll.

Wyatt: I can't, I have to change ...my pants.


Ash: Pissed yourself?

Wyatt nods.

Wyatt: It's just so quick.

Ash: What are you, R. Kelly? You have 30 seconds, change and get in the limo.

Ash leaves.

Wyatt: Just...so ...quick.

The camera fades to the next scene.

The camera comes in on the Spearmint Rhino sign.

Ash: Shit, when you said a strip joint, you didn't say it'd be in Los Angeles.

Bobby: Well, it was Anthony's idea, and he has it hooked up and it's even themed.

Ash: Oh yeah, what's the theme?

Bobby: Go in and find out for yourself?

Ash walks right passed the security guard, as does Poe, and Bobby. Jay Wyatt is stopped.

Security: I'm going to need to see some i.d.

Wyatt: Of course my good man.

Jay goes into his wallet and pulls out his i.d and hands it to the man. Security guard looks at it and shakes his head.

Security: From Las Vegas, Nevada huh?

Wyatt: Yeah.

Security: Okay McLovin, I know a fake i.d when I see one. Hit the bricks kid, you were better off using your school i.d than this trash you brought.

Wyatt: But it's real, I'm well over 21.

Security: Hit the bricks, or I'll hit you. We got an understanding?

Wyatt: How am I going to let my friends know I'm out here?

Security: Oh, you mean that guy with the smokin' hot girl and the World title? They are your friends?

Wyatt: Well, sort of.

Security: Well go ahead, give them a call and have him come out here and I'll consider him vouching for you to get in, even with your fake i.d.

Wyatt: I don't have Ash Soulsfate's cell number.

Security: And they are your friends? But you don't have their number?

Wyatt: We are coworkers of sorts.

Security: What do you, shine his belt?

Wyatt: Co-

Man: Excuse me. Is Ash Soulsfate in there?

Wyatt: That guy with the heavyweight title?

Man: Yeah, he took my pic base!

Security: What the fuck is a pic base?

Man: I'm Jaden Zion!

Security: No, you're banned! Now take McLovin with you. You two bitches get out of here!

The two walk away from the entrance. Jaden pouts walking back and forth as if waiting for Ash to come out, never taking his eyes off of the entrance. Feeling awkward, Jay decides to use his interviewing skills.

Wyatt: So, how do you know Ash?

Jaden: He used to be a wrestler in my company.

Wyatt: Oh yeah, how did that work out?

Jaden: He left after losing a match, he left respectfully and even had the nerve to list off people thanking us for our time and the honor it was to be there.

Wyatt: Then why are you mad?

Jaden: Because after he left, no matter what I did, my company failed.

Wyatt: Who was the champion of your company?

Jaden: Me.

Wyatt: And how many times have you lost?

Jaden: In my 3 year career? Three.

Wyatt: You were the boss and the champion?

Jaden: That's right kiddo.

Wyatt: So what happened?

Jaden: Your boy Ash faced me three times and lost all three times.

Wyatt: All while you were one of the owners of the company.

Jaden: You're saying that like it has something to do with the outcome of our match.

Wyatt: It's just a curious situation.

Jaden: Well it has nothing to do with anything.

Wyatt: Who was champion when the company died?

Jaden: Me.

Wyatt: Oh, so it was okay for those to be under you and people would only hold the belt if you "relinquished" it.

Jaden: The man left my company and came here to be a champion, he's a wuss. He should've stayed under my company's glass ceiling until I deemed it okay.

Wyatt: So three years wasn't enough?

Jaden: No. It doesn't look like he's coming out, so what I'm going to do, is wait for your next show, get backstage and confront him there, but not before I go into the locker room and talk a large amount of horseshit. He took my looks!

Wyatt: Ash came in with long dirty hair, ripped jeans, he changed his look to look more professional and take this business seriously.

Jaden: I got to talk to Drake Hunter anyway, because for the first two years, I looked like him even with that weird eye make up thing. Everyone's ripping me off!

Wyatt: I'm sorry sir, but it sounds like a lot of bad blood for no reason, considering he's not even mentioned your company in his promos and has moved on. You sound like an ex girlfriend who hasn't gotten over a break up. Why show up in a locker room when your company is dead and gone, and has been for a while, you still are the champion of your dead company.

Jaden: Our website looked better than MPW's.

Wyatt: In the long run, what does that even matter, it's about the wrestling, the promos and the fun we all have putting up a show for our audience.

Jaden: You're just another one that doesn't understand how I've been wronged.

Wyatt: If Ash sucks as you say, then why are you so angry he left, why are you going through all the trouble of going into the locker room?

Jaden: I'm also going to talk shit about the MPW roster.

Jay Wyatt superkicks Jaden in the face.

Wyatt: You're annoying.

Wyatt looks down at Jaden's pants.

Wyatt: Looks like I'm not the only one that pisses myself when he gets kicked in the face.

Wyatt walks to the nearby Albertsons. And the camera goes to meet up with Ash who has this woman on his lap.

And Poe who has a blonde on her lap. And Bobby embarrassingly is at the stage dropping dollars.

Ash: If I'd known it was going to be like this before, I would've gotten the title a lot sooner.

Poe: This one has got me all hot n bothered, just wait 'til I get you home.

Poe winks at Ash.

Ash: Bobby did good, Spearmint Rhino, MPW themed.

Poe: I know, the stripper version of Chicken is just as cross eyed as the real one.

Ash: Yeah, I think Trey would like his girl version stripper of himself.

Poe: Yeah, that Chris Cable girl keeps asking Bobby for lap dances.

Ash: Yeah, not even the Chris Cable stripper girl version can get paid for something she does, that name is just cursed.

Poe: Either Bobby is really drunk or he's about to do something stupid.

Ash: What happened?

Poe: He's going up to the stage.

Bobby is on stage getting drinks and wet napkins thrown at him for interrupting the nights' events.

Bobby: Believe me it's going to be worth it. When I invited Ash to my ranks and asked to represent him, he was some punk kid that didn't care how he looked, wrestled in jeans and a white tank top and forever and a day kept that style, and even though he's dressed a little differently these days, I think he would've made it in those jeans, but today he walks to that ring looking like a million bucks, and has the world title to show for it. And this place, took it upon themselves to make it MPW themed night, speaking of which I've been looking for the Roxi Johnson stripper all night. But anyway, you haven't seen the "Johnny Clash" or the "Ash Soulsfate" because we have something special planned for tonight. Ladies?

The ladies of the place bring out an inflatable mud pit and place it in the middle of the stage.

Bobby: Introducing first, hailing from Los Angeles, California, she's your Spearmint Rhino world champion, Jane Clash!

Out comes a woman dressed in Johnny Clash themed robe, she steps into the mud pit, removes the robe and exposes a bikini with black and yellow.

Bobby: And the challenger, also hailing from Los Angeles California, she is the Breath Taker of the MPW, she is Ashley Soulsfate!!!

Out walks a female, hot, with a makeshift hoodie vest, she peek from under the hoodie and throws it back and holds out her arms.

Ash: I like her already.

Poe: Wonder why.

Ashley walks to the pit and takes off her hoodie vest and throws it off to the side.

Bobby: Champ?

Ash stands and holds his arm in the air.

Ash: Ding...ding.

The two start to go at it, the hoots and hollers are loud, as they girly wrestle which as you've seen is a clusterfuck of confusion, but fuck it, the mud makes it look like they're naked. Now that's hot. They are flopping about until Jane Clash falls on her back and Ashley pins.

Bobby: 1, ..2...3. Ladies and gentlemen, you're winner and new Spearmint Rhino world champion, Ashley Soulsfate!

Ashley is handed a pink belt. She holds it up to Ash, and Ash holds his own World title belt up in respect.

Bobby: And the night will just go on and on, the next few lap dances are on me, so make sure to make them long songs. All courtesy of your new MPW World Heavyweight Champion...Ash Soulsfate.

The crowd chants Soulsfate over and over as he holds his belt high.

Fast forward to today, backstage of today's house show.

Ash is in his new locker room, his new sole locker room. His world title on a nearby chair, Ash leans against a wall looking at it. When Jaden Zion walks in.


Jaden: Well if it isn't the traitor?

Ash: Yeah...listen, I don't what prompted you to come to my new home and try to belittle any of the viewers, any of the roster, or management. Here, you are an outsider, here, you have no power and the ego you've had all your life to make you think you were ever better than me, makes you weaker than you even know. That is why you went out of your way to seek me out and try to make people think the way they used to in your company. You're pathetic, and your pitiful life tried to effect my livelihood. I am the champion here, and I've earned it week in and week out. And you tried to demolish that by showing your face backstage, and when people didn't see it your way, you got frustrated and turned into the asshole you always were. I worked for you for three years of my life, and you made me think I wasn't worthy of holding a title belt, and that World title belt, makes me realize that it was always you holding me down. So, I've said my peace, and I'm glad to see that every one of your roster saw just how fuckin' pathetic you are and left you. You thought because a website had good graphics that it would effect the show, while it was all to glorify you, and your little world. This is the MPW, this is reality, this is where I CAN and DID beat the boss. And that, is why MPW will be around for a long time, and you, have no place to go. So much like management did, I'm going to have security escort you out.

Security comes in and grabs Jaden's arms.

Jaden: You will always be seen as second to me.

Ash: You know, I have a move called "I Will Always Be Better". And that was dedicated to you, because you know what?

Ash turns and hits the pele kick named the "I Will Always Be Better", and kicks Jaden square in the face. Jaden falls into the arms of security and they drag him out. As he's being dragged out, Poe passes by witnessing the escort. She laughs and walks to Ash.

Poe: How does it feel?

Ash: To be champ?

Poe: To have that chapter of your life finished.

Ash: Feels good, makes me wish MPW was around before, but this was meant to be, so that I can appreciate that belt over there, that much more.

Poe: Long live the champ.

Poe kisses Ash and the camera fades to black.

Two Castles versus Two Buildings Made from Ikea

The camera comes in on Ash Soulsfate holding the World Title on his waist as he walks through the halls of the backstage area of the house show, passing random staff and local wrestlers.

Ash: It's always been my dream to be the World Champion and though I've been the World Champ elsewhere, as you've seen it's been awhile since I've had the feeling I feel today. And now I'm placed against Drake Hunter, the man who won the rumble and the man I took the title from, Johnny Clash. Funny the way things work out, isn't it? And on top of that, my tag team partner, is the only friend I have on this roster, Trey Baxter. Now I know you boys are going to fill your head with nonsense and say things like this isn't my title until I beat Trey and you know what, that may be true, but that match will happen. What you have to worry more about, is that now that I'm champion, I'm coming to make sure you understand that I am every bit as good as that belt says I am. I may not have lost yet, and have one of the most successful records in MPW history in getting to this belt, but to hold this belt over this roster means I have to be able to think on my feet and react even faster. You boys have come at me while still on my proving ground, sure I have my title but I don't want to go out like Johnny Clash. Challenge weaklings like Christian Carter and Chicken and pawn it off like they are actual retentions to the title. I will go down in MPW history as one of the greatest champions that ever graced the belt.


Ash: Every step, every week I grew more and more, in reputation, in backstage talks and gained respect, gained haters, but the key word is that I've gained, and in that wake, others have lost. The games you two have played, thinking that it's all good, that you're becoming competition, it's laughable. All these attacks are acts of desperation, when it comes to that ring and it's one on one, both of you are outgunned. Trey and I have beaten the now former tag team champions, we've beaten the Age of Arrogance, and me, I've been on the winning team twice when it comes to them. Now that there is this New Age of Arrogance....wow, that left a bad taste in my mouth, New Age, like fuckin' the Yanni or Enya of wrestling, oh well, it makes sense since both entities put me to sleep equally. The point being I've beaten Chris Cable three times, and that bitchface Andre Dixon has been dodging me ever since he attacked me months ago. Oh, now that he's apart of your homo-hub, don't think I've forgotten about it. Much like I didn't forget Johnny's attacks on me, or Kuk's attacks, I won't forget Dixon's. It's a big roster, but sooner or later, his number will come up and when it does, he's going down.

Ash: Johnny, you are a high flier and technical, much like myself, a lot would say we are cut from the same cloth...I mean I wouldn't, because to think you are even in my league would be ridiculous. You see you need your league of lemmings to do what you can't do in the ring and that's, well that's awesome. Why, because when you go into the hall of fame, and believe me, with your ego, and you owning the company, it's a forgone conclusion that you'll make that happen. What will they show Johnny, you giving the bloodline to guys like Chicken and Christian Carter, hey maybe they'll have a category called Most Failed attempts at the World Title, and you'll be the highlight of that category as well. I told you last week, you being the boss will not derail me from this title. Nothing could, for you both, this is kind of your last horrah of the era, with Tristan Slater being seen as the next big thing and the inevitable match with Trey Baxter, and Bliss opening her mouth about my title, this is sort of your last chance to be seen as main event level. For Johnny, come on, you lived out what it was to be a champion, and you wasted it on dry heave weddings and a lackluster month of people waiting for me to take the title away from you so that I can do what you can't with it. Make it exciting again, make it worth something, make it mean what it's supposed to, the highest honor of the MPW titles. And as I hold it, believe me, it's going to be just that.

Ash: I mean, how do you go from being in the New Rockerz to becoming the jackass you are here in the MPW. You have to be one of the weakest champions this place will ever have. Don't get me wrong, you kicked out of the AMF, and I kicked out of your silly finisher, and to the world it looked like it took a lot to take you out. But let's be real, the reason it took so much was because of your desperation to hold on to your only opportunity of holding that title belt. You being the champion will never mean to you what it has and will always mean to me. Files say that you were the hardcore champion, now I'm not one to talk being that I don't look like an homeless man like Kuk Killswitch, but come on, you come out to the ring in a cape. What are you a magician?

Ash: You look like the shadiest gypsy fairy this place has ever seen and you held my belt for Christ's sakes. That's not right, this is where the belt belongs, with me, with the man superb enough to defend it. Not with you, you were a walking joke and everyone was biding their time 'til I took your title. Even Laura was looking at you and the half a man you've become right in front of her eyes. She saw the real man she married, and it's not the champion of champions, it was some horseshit jackass that couldn't hold my jockstrap ...but with that cape, you can tell you wanted to. Clash, for months upon months you went from messing with me, to backing off before I tore off your head, to messing with me, to losing your title to me. I could've had my shot at this title months ago, but I respect this title, I respect the MPW, and what's it's done for me and my career. But you, come on Johnny, what have you done that wasn't ever for yourself. I mean come on, look at that frown constantly on Laura's face, you can just see the dissatisfaction in every part of her body. And it's really hard to get hot for a hobbit, unless you're 320 pounds and into renaissance fairs. One night with me, and she'll see who is the real boss. I guess I'll have to wait until your next episode of Melrose Place where you pretend to be marrying Bliss,...what am I saying, Bliss would never be that desperate. You've beaten Chicken so many times, may be you could choke his....chicken.

Ash: Oh come on, you haven't been a real man ever in your life and when the threat of a man coming for your title came about, you were belly up with your paws in the air ready to surrender. Come on, do you call that a champion, do you even want that type of guy representing your company. You see, years ago they were so scared of Hogan losing the belt because they were so afraid of the belt losing it's luster and Hogan not being able to carry the ball without the belt somehow in the picture. When the title went from Trey Baxter to you, I saw their point. But not to worry, I'm bringing prestige back to the belt as only I can. You tell the world that you're not one for glitz and glamore and yet you wear glasses that cost more than Laura Tavares' implants.

Ash: Excuse me while I play you a clip of reality.

(From Takedown Oct 25th)

Johnny Clash: I mean look at us. Me and Rage in our million dollar suits looking as Fly as an LL Cool J Video!

Ash: You have a 200$ Eddie Munster haircut, and the saddest part is that you do it on purpose...oh, and have I mentioned you wear a gold trimmed cape to the ring. Yeah man, you're right, you're not one for glitz and glamor..."boss". You treated this world title like a gold rolex around your waist, an accessory, but you see that belt, that belt is the very reason why your little tag team partner is going to have to damn near kill me to get my title because there's no other reason here that I'm in the MPW than for that World Title. That's not the spirit you will ever have, because that isn't instilled in you. You look out for yourself, that's the real reason you dropped Ms. Biguns at the first sight of your returning Laura. I have to admit, Laura, better body, face and doesn't look like she's turning 48 next Thursday but that's just you right. I mean the biggest part of you was whining and bitching about that World Title belt, and how unfair life was, and then when you had the belt you challenged the scraps of the MPW and pawned it off as valid. As I said, looking out for yourself.

Ash: You talk about how you don't go to clubs, rock out, get drunk, and just how much of a fuckin' buzz kill you truly are. But how you pride yourself on winning, and really, is that what you pride yourself on, let's see, shall we. Oh, and I say that as the one that's tagging with you is the same man that was pinned by a female tag team called the Goddess Factor, while mine was the first World Champion of this company. Hey, didn't Rage and yourself jump Drake Hunter after that match, hrmm, I guess I'm the asshole for bringing that up. We've beaten the former tag champions and you both are only united in your hatred for me... and the fact that you'll never be me. And if I do remember correctly, wasn't it Drake Hunter that said to "You are a disgrace to every Legend that had held that title before you and you are the reason that NYCCW failed! " Well, I'm sure that is all water under the bridge now. I mean your tag team partner thinks you're inept and the very reason why an entire company failed. Perhaps that's why he won, because he thought he might get lucky and face you at Road to Glory like he faced you for your NYCCW title, or if I failed to win, that he'd save the MPW and make sure that you didn't ruin this company either. Well, that's the man you're tagging with, and that's the man that supposedly has your back. Goodluck with that. Your minions are men that have beaten you to a pulp and you act as if you are in charge of them. Drake's former tag team partner busted you open in a first blood match and left you choking on your own blood from a Massive Elbow. Is this part of the wins you pride yourself on, because you weren't a winner there. And speaking of which, how do you think Drake Hunter feels after you embarrassed him during that match, left him holding his neck like his name was Laura Tavares on her knees in front of any man in a uniform. I bet he still thinks about that day and what he could've been had he beaten you, how you ruined his chances at becoming something earlier here in the MPW.

Ash: Drake would do well to watch out for you as well, because you are one of the reasons for one of Trey Baxter's minimal losses, weren't you, when you tagged with him. That's how much you suck, you brought a caliber of champion down like Trey. That's pretty bad, that's Shade Sawyer bad.

Ash: As bad as you think you are, you were once pinned by Jake Cage, in a tag match with Rage, and his partner was the man you humiliated Christian Carter. But you got pinned by Jake Cage, man. Then comes your first loss to Trey Baxter, and let's all thank Laura Tavares for that as her return was much more important than Johnny Clash's world title match. Oh but the Unsanctioned Match was a draw wasn't it, and what does that mean for the champion, that the tie goes to the runner, no, it means you lost. And then third times a charm, and you end up with it, I can't say won it, it's just too much to think about. I guess I'm the fourth World Champion after Christian Carter won this belt from you, wait, than you won it back, so you're a two time World Champion...no, you're a two faced cunt rag who doesn't know one bit of respect for this business, not even if it punched you in the face...and believe me, it will. I'm in King of the Mountain Matches, regular X-Core matches, Ultimate X-Core matches and you are handed three seperate World title matches. You've been here since day one and I STILL have more matches under my belt than you, and all I needed was one title shot to get my title.

Ash: Again last week, I guess it was back to normal as once again you lost to Trey, you told your wife it was time to prove that you weren't a fluke, and after last week, do you think you proved it. Let's get into your pride shall we? Oh wait, that's all the matches you've ever had in the MPW, I guess those three world title shots were well deserved when you think about 45% of your total matches were for the World title, while everyone on the roster bust their ass every week for the MPW and the legacy we are going to leave behind one day. Not to mention me being the team captain of that legacy. You may call yourself a winner, just like I do, only difference is, my record in YOUR new company, being that you took out Madd Katt, shows it, backs up every word I saw and will make DAMN sure you feel the pain you felt at Army of One, and we're going to make this the FIFTH loss to Trey Baxter, shit...I'm only going to have two, I better catch up, ah well, with how many chances management gives you at the title, I'll be caught up in no time.


Ash: As for you Drake Hunter, he has a threshold for pain, just ask Chris Michaels, he tapped out to him. Or should I ask the other man that made him tap, Taufik? Either way, both heard you whimper like a little bitch. You didn't beat Trey, when you thought that all was well and this would be your first shot to tell the world that you belong in the title picture. There you were last week welcoming Andre Dixon into your little group like it meant a damn thing, and truth be told, here's what it means, you think AOA has the tag championship and that you have a looming World title shot and that you are every bit as great as you've been saying all along. But you've been saying these things so long that now they have fallen on deaf ears. You and Cable have failed so much in your past that you taking the belts off Taufik and Ian Andrews isn't even a step up. FUCK, Chris Cable didn't even see the tag titles until he dropped you and get Andre Dixon. And if you're asking why am I saying that, you'll have to look at how Taufik left you last week.

Ash: Here's how much of an idiot you are. Let's go back to last weeks promo of Drakie.

(Drake's Promo Last Week)

Drake: "You'll notice that i didn't start this promo with a quote. That's because this week, i don't need one. Because I only need three words to sum up what i am going to say in this promo.....
I told you so........"

Back to Ash.

Ash: "I....told...you...so.... "let's see, by MY count, that's four, so when you decide to not do quotes and you think of doing something better, here's a thought, how about plan it out or at the very least, think before you open that stupid mouth of yours. I mean it's going to be some asshole like me that going to call you on your shit.

Ash: You call this the beginning of the era of Arrogance, really, is it?

Ash shrugs.

Ash: I thought it was the era of having a champion that is going to defend his title with every bit of himself. An era of a shit talkin', high flyin, bone breakin', women's heart stealin', man that stands before you proudly as the champion of this company. That's the era we are in, you see we just had a champion like you. A man that can't win the Sin City title, but can win a rumble, but then again, can't beat Taufik. I mean what is that, what kind of man would I be by handing you my championship. You've never had your hands on a championship and you think some lucky ass rumble is going to get you my title. It might have gotten you a shot at it, but it's gotten you one of the biggest ass kickings you're ever going to receive in your MPW career. Drake, what you've done is put yourself against me, in the most important match of my life, on the grandest stage our company has to offer. Now that you understand completely where you are at in this match, does it make sense to you where I stand, where you stand and just how Road to Glory will go down. You've seen my work, I treated what was seen as the lowest title in our company like it was the World Title and I meant every defense of it. I fought very desperate men, men that wanted to make their names on me by getting my title, and with me holding the World title, I see I'm right back where I was. Watching people bitch about nothing because it makes them feel active.

Ash: Much like TJ, who figures if he bitches so much management hears him, he'll get a shot at becoming something, and he did, he got a shot at my X-Core Championship and I knocked him down to the mat from the X. This is my life Drake, I don't care about the World Championship one week and not care the next. You may not have cared about the Sin City Title and only the rumble, and then not cared about Taufik, but that's not how this works. I'm the same man if I face a man like Christian Carter as I would be facing Trey Baxter, because I don't rely on my ego to get me by. And I'd end up looking like you, a sham. Everyone is looking at you right now, all eyes on you, and you lose consciousness to Taufik, a former Television and Tag champion. Oh well, I guess that really doesn't count.

Ash: You see, as I've pointed out Johnny Clash thinks of one man and that's Johnny. And right now you're facing the man that beat him, and Johnny's partner is you, the man that threw him out of the rumble taking his chances of facing me again at Road to Glory. Now as much as I told Johnny that he may not be able to trust you, well, you may not be able to trust him. What is there for him should he help you. I only took his title, you sir have take his salvation, his face, his chance at being in the spotlight at Road to Glory. And well, you've seen Rage, and you've seen Ms. Biguns and how they were...well...dismissed, you think you're any better than them, they were both part of True Wrestling Icons, his own stable, and you think you're safe. At the drop of a hat, if Laura deems it, you're fired as faster than Shade Sawyer.

Ash: Drake you tell the world that you'll go out there and "survive", and I go there and win, I have higher expectations of myself than "surviving". I win and I win decisively, and I've proven myself time and time again, and this week is just no different. I'm going out there to win, and win big, in the main event where I belong. And how you gave the world the finger last week because they believed you couldn't do, because they showed you doubt, they didn't bet on you and hell, we have shows in Vegas son and you're as blackhorse as they get, not one person won in Vegas. But how strong did you look when you're giving the world the finger but in the ring, you have Taufik standing over you like lion over a dying deer. Is that part of your survival instinct, to lay unconcious so that you don't have to feel pain, so that you didn't have to hear the laughter, the whispers, you see those doubts are back and this time, it's a sure thing that you won't be winning not only this match, you won't be winning the World title off me. It's just not in the cards, and Drake, you may have some substantial wins under your belt, but keep in mind, so do I, yet another difference, I've held two titles to prove it. And one of them, is the World title, the top belt in the company.

Ash: You call the MPW show, your show alone, was it your show when Main Event went to Thursday Night Takedown, was it your show when you lost to Johnny Clash, was it your show when you lied on the midcard all your career. You make statements and have nothing to show for it, and believe me, you are going to ride this rumble thing until the day comes when you finally accomplish something else like beat Jason X for his Television title. But you're always going to bring up the rumble, but no worries, I'll always be there to remind everyone that you did that, only to lose to me at Road to Glory.

Ash: You told the world that when you face me that we won't have a past, and no future, just the present, well won't that be convenient for you, since I'm the one with two...oops, soon to be three wins over you. Of course you would say something as stupid as that. Just like you said you were going to go to last week Thursday, you said were going to win, survive and well you did survive but you lost. After all that I told you so bullshit, you go out and lose the same week.

Ash shakes his head.

Ash: Thats two times, Taufik made you tap once and then submission by way of knockout. Your first excuse was Jackson Blaze and yes, we know you'll use Bliss as this one, but the record books say loss, they don't give a big description of why you lost, just that you did lose. And just like that, I'm going to knock you down further off your cloud and you are going to dread Road to Glory, and after you it'll be some other poor schmuck that has to face me. I will bring you down and I will show you this world, this show is indeed not yours. This show is the World Champions, and right now and perhaps forever, it will be me. This show Drake, is mine and this week, I come to take my show away from you. You and Johnny are in for a world of hurt and despair and I have no plans on ending that any time soon.

Ash: Johnny, you come out to a song called Walk Away, trust me, when all is said and done, that's all you'll be able to do....and that's only if I allow it. Oh, and you talked about how you enjoy your wife's legs wrapped around your face....believe me...I do too....punk bitch. Not as much as Drake was last week, I mean come on, Drake has to be the only man to ever see Bliss and go limp.

Ash laughs and walks out of the frame. The scene of last week shows, between Taufik and Drake Hunter.

Hunter looks up just as Bliss comes out from the curtains and runs down to the ring.

(The video is editted so the next thing you see is)

Bob Herman: "I'd like for her to get me in a compromising position within seconds, Hunter goes limp. the bell rings."

It repeats Bob Herman's words on Takedown.

"....Hunter goes limp."

"....Hunter goes limp."

"....Hunter goes limp."
