{Springheel Jack is standing in the ring, arms crossed over his chest, staring a hole through NoBody. The Champ stares right back as he walks towards the ring.}

Rip: Listen to this crowd. They are chanting for their champion.

Smash: He doesn�t look like he�s out here to have fun, Rip.

Rip: He is burning a hole through Springheel Jack with his stare, but give Jack credit. He is not backing down from the World�s Champion!

{NoBody climbs into the ring and walks right up to Springheel Jack. The two stand face-to-face, nose-to-nose. This stare-down goes on for a few moments while the crowd waits. Suddenly, NoBody smiles. With a quick flick of his wrist he takes Springheel Jack�s microphone and puts it to his mouth.}

NoBody: Jack, I�ve got my mind set on doing a few things out in this ring tonight, and kicking your ass isn�t one of them. Now I know you�re not one to back down from a fight, and I know you�re one of the few guys in this company who�d be able to give me a run in this ring, so I�m not going to try to intimidate you into getting over those ropes and up that ramp. I�m going to ask you, nicely, from one Pheonix Promotion Superstar to another, to get the hell out of this ring and let me speak my mind!

{The crowd roars, and waits to see what Springheel Jack will do. Jack stares at NoBody for a moment, then shakes his head.}

Springheel Jack: Alright, but you make sure the MWI knows that I�m waiting for them, you hear me?

{NoBody nods his head. Springheel Jack turns his back to the champion and steps over the ropes. NoBody watches him walk to the back before he speaks again.}

NoBody: I�ve got a whole lot on my mind tonight. You see, I�ve been laid up in the hospital these past few days and all I�ve been able to do is think. So I�ll start with the small fry, the littlest fish in the pond, Damian Black.

{Crowd boos}

NoBody: Damian, I was once like you. I came into the Pheonix Promotion like a bat out of hell. I chalked up a few quick victories and all I wanted to do was run my mouth. I ran my mouth on every single superstar in the back, but I made sure I targeted the biggest names we had. I made sure I called out Phenom and The Wisdom and Glacier. But you know what? Back then they paid me no mind. That was their mistake, and it cost them. Because they�re not here anymore. Not a single one of them. They were some of the all-time greats and I outlived them all. Why? Because they underestimated me. They didn�t pay me no mind. That�s not a mistake I plan to make with you, Damian Black. You caught my eye because you�re one of the only people in this company making some noise. You�ve piled up a few quick victories, even got yourself a title out of it. So I watched you and you know what I decided? Your victories, your title? That don�t mean dick! You just don�t have what it takes, Damian. You don�t have that heart, that pride. Yeah, you and I may have both come into this company in the same manner, but I carried a lot more talent, a lot more heart, and a lot more pride with me when I made my way through the Pheonix Promotion! You? You�ve got yourself a title and you still have no idea what it means to be a champion.

{The crowd boos}

NoBody: You accused me of trying to distract you in your Title match with Jack Hammer. Way I remember it, I only mentioned you in passing a few nights after that win. Now I know you haven�t taken all that many bumps to the head so far in this company, so I�m going to chalk your accusations up not to being confused due to injury, but instead to just plain stupidity!

{Crowd cheers}

NoBody: You really think I would try to distract you? In your International Title match? A match I had nothing invested in? You better check that ego, Damian. But your stupidity doesn�t end with that. You say that you don�t give a crap that I�ve got the respect of the fans, or that I respect the boys in that locker room and that they respect me? Well that shows that you just don�t get it. Respect is what this business is all about, Damian. Respect and pride. The two go hand in hand, and you�ve got neither. I find it funny that you�re out here ragging on the MWI when you walk around in a Pheonix Promotion ring carrying another company�s title around your waist! Where�s your pride? Where�s your respect? Springheel Jack said no one is intimidated by your mysterious HCW title, and he�s right. But I can tell you I�m damn pissed off about it. I�ve poured my sweat and my blood out on this mat every night for the last two years because I am a proud member of the Pheonix Promotion and I�ll be damned if some half-wit, Champion of the week, punk-ass rookie bitch is going to step foot in my ring wearing another company�s title! You might think you�ve got yourself some talent, some ability, but all I see is a spoiled little brat with an attitude problem. You think you�re a legend, Damian? Well, I�ve got a little reputation for putting legends to rest. So anytime you can muster the courage to step into this ring with me, we can cure that attitude problem of yours right up, boy.

{The crowd roars}

NoBody: Last Tuesday night, at Blaze, Pheonix Promotion pride was put to the test by those bastards of MWI. As you all saw, the entire MWI roster rushed the ring and The Puppet Masters took over in the control booth. For a few sickening moments, Blaze became Massacre. And, I�ll admit it, I took quite a beating. Hell, I got sent to the hospital. But you know what I was thinking as I was laying there in that ring Tuesday night, covered in my own blood, my bones broken, my body bruised, every nerve screaming out in pain? Congratulations. That�s right, MWI, congratulations. You took me down. You brought me to this mat and you beat me��

{The crowd quietly boos}

NoBody: �.and it only took your entire roster. It took an entire company to beat my ass, and on top of that, you boys had the element of surprise and the fact that I�d just gone 20 minutes with Max Fox going for you. So I say congratulations, MWI, for using your entire roster to sucker-punch tired, old me. I also say, enjoy it while it lasts.

{The crowd cheers}

NoBody: That�s right, MWI. Enjoy it while it lasts. Chris Revolver, Infinite, Puppet Masters, you had your one chance to take me down, to take Pheonix Promotions down, and you blew it. You know why? Because I�m still standing. Because I�m still here tonight, and I�ll still be here next Monday night at Blaze! You had your one chance and you couldn�t get the job done, so now it�s my turn. Now I�m on the hunt, and I�ve got your scent. Springheel Jack said he�d keep an eye out for you during his match but I say Jack, focus on Damian Black, because I�ll be watching�and waiting�for the MWI to show up again. So I warn you, the entire MWI roster, watch yourselves, because I�ll be watching you. You step foot in a Blaze ring and I�ll be on you faster than you can put that second foot down. I see so much as a MWI t-shirt in the stands and I�m on the son-of-a-bitch. You boys think you can make a name for yourselves and your piece of shit company by trying to take over Blaze? Well then I�m daring you to do it again. Bring your sorry asses to this ring next Monday night, and we�ll be changing your company name from MWI to RIP! Soon it will be time for the MWI to finally find out what a real MASSACRE is!

Rip: The Champion has called out the MWI!

Smash: He�s daring them to show up at Blaze!

{With that, NoBody tosses down the mic. He raises his hands to the ceiling, a belt in each fist, as �Wait n Bleed� hits over the PA system. The crowd is on its feet as the Champion steps over the ropes and heads backstage.}
