"Running with the Devil" by Van Halen plays over the speakers....As Bryan Mercy makes his way down to ring
Mercy:"Helllllloooooooooooooooooooooo Minnesota! The Midwest's Greatest Athlete has returned!"
"Oh yes, I've made a living here and there and everywhere. But this are ismy home. From Chicago, to Milwaukee, to Des Moines, to the Falls, to right here in Minneapolis."
"But, I don't come here tonite, to wrestle. You all know damn well what kind of a showman I am. You all know damn well what kind of a match I can put on. And I know damn well that all you men and women out there appreciate the shit I do in this ring. You appreciate the art, and the Greatest artist... excuse me...."
"The Greatest Athlete in Wrestling. "
"Alas, there are some idiots around here.... well, mostly backstage... that either don't appreciate what I do, or don't understand the greatness their truly in the presence of."
"But, I know that you folks do. Because, you folks are the backbone of this fed, and all feds that are out there. You guys are all the reason we're out here. You guys, are the reason we bust our asses night in, night out."
"You know, some people asked me... well, were a little critical of me when I made up this little belt that's... uh, lying over there in the corner.They wanted to know why the hell I have it. Well, this is the Fan's Title.This is because of the support I got from all of you after getting kicked in the ass by the bureaucrats of the JWA."
"Now, eventually, this title will be defended. Maybe Johnny Keel gets a shot, maybe not. Maybe Devie gets a shot, maybe not. Maybe Mr. Malibu getsa shot. Maybe not. Maybe we'll just say the hell with 'em all!"
"You know, I told you that I don't have my wrestling gear with me. And, well, you see, in just under a weeks time, there's this little thing called Fall From Grace. Well, yours truly is involved in a little match there against someone who's not involved in this particular fed right now, or maybe ever. And let me tell you something, he and I, have a little history, and his ass is gonna pay. And you know what, when that's all said and done, I'm gonna come back to Minneapolis, and defend this belt, and kick some ass here!"
"Before we go, I've got one... well, two more things to say. Seems that Devie is looking for challengers. Well, Devie, coupla weeks after the Fall,the JWA is holding a little Pay Per View, Blind Justice."
"This is a challenge. I don't care if you accept it or not, but I'm not appealing to your good natured side right now. I'm appealing to the little Devie inside. The Devie that KNOWS DAMN WELL that he didn't earn that title... and I've got the video tape to PROVE that ol' Keith was tapping out as if his life depended on it.... Whattaya say Keith? one more time? "
"And, Johnny Keel, you seem to think that I'm not the Wrestlign Backbone of this fed? Well, you're in luck. Normally, I'd let someone like yourself work their way up the fed from the bottom. Not this time. Next week, you get your chance against the Backbone. You get your chance against Flyin Bryan Mercy. "
"And I'll put this little belt I have on the line."
"But.... here's the catch. We're playing by Bryan Mercy's Rulz. Which means this.... This belt.... it's gonna be placed way up above the ring..... to get it, you'll have to... I dunno... say, Climb the Ladder of Justice. See,the significance?"
"A Mercy Ladder Match, Keel, if you want it. It's your ONLY chance against me, cause there won't be a second time."
"Now, hit my music, and let's get back on with the show."
