Triple Threat Match

Referee: Chad Pattison

Writer: David Clowes

We lost transmission for this match, Gutter Rat managed to pick up the victory via DQ. Eddie Benoit went mental with a steel chair, beating Gutter Rat into a bloody pulp before referee Chad Pattison called the match as a DQ win to Gutter Rat. After the bell sounded Adam The Ritcheous ran down and attacked Eddie Benoit and Harlem, the crowd jeering loudly at the rookie.]

[We go backstage to where Ian Gonzales is standing with a mic in front of a backdrop showing a TV monitor and the MWF logo.]

Gonzales: Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment, I'm about to interview Seth Caliko, to get the real reasons he left Twisted Vizion, and…

Voice: The real reasons??

[The camera zooms out to reveal Seth Caliko already standing alongside Gonzales, right in his face.]

Caliko: The REAL reasons, Ian?

Gonzales: Well, I thought that maybe there was some other motive…

Caliko: Listen up, Gonzales, and listen up good! I know you're used to dealing with guys who are always involved in sneaky behind-closed-doors deals, I know you're used to dealing with double-crossers, and I know you're used to dealing with snakes in the grass. But, if you're asking me this question, you ain't so well versed in dealing with Seth Caliko. I left Twisted Vizion because I'd become too dependent on their help and to me, that was going against everything I stood for. Seth Caliko needing help? To win matches? To win titles? It just doesn't happen, Ian. It shouldn't happen.

Gonzales: Well, I might be able to accept that… but, what about your no-show at March Maddness next week? Leaving Twisted Vizion or not, that was an excellent opportunity that you earned and thr-

Caliko: Earned?! EARNED?! No, Ian. Let me set the record straight. I did not EARN that rumble at Maddness. It was given to me because I was a member of Twisted Vizion. Maybe I'm not making this clear to ya, Ian. You're dealing with a loose cannon. Aguy that macrhes to the beat of his own drum. Most guys would have killed to be in tht rumble matchup, and not care how they got there. Me? If I don't get there under my own power, then I don't wanna be there at all.

Gonzales: One last question, and I suppose this ties in with dependency. Jay T has spent the better part of 2 months basically basing his entire claim to stardom on the fact that he beat you twice. What's your response?

Caliko: Ian, the wheels are turning. The rebirth of the firebird has been set into motion. I swore that I would prove myself if I had to go through every man on the MWF Roster. And it looks like Jay needs to be shown once and for all exactly who he's trying to use as a steeping stone. You see, Jay, if you step on a Phoenix, all you do is get burned. The first time, it was Kid Insanity. The Bulldozer. Now, I imagine you'll have Scotty Heart and Sean Harley to try and win the match for you. But dammit, Jay, this time, every trick you can pull and scheme you launch will fail. Too long, I've had to hear you constantly return to your victories over me. You wanna call yourself the New Age Xtreme Legend? Fine. But god help me, when I get my hands on you, you'll be the Old News Xposed Loser. Through the months, you've been asking for people to prove you wrong? Screw that. I'm not aiming to prove you wrong. I'm aiming to beat you down into the ground, pure and simple. You consider yourself a Legend, Jay?

[Seth grabs Ian's mic and holds it close to his mouth.]

Caliko: Take a note from Seth: You should also consider yourself a marked man. The first of many.

[Seth shoves the mic back into Ian's hand and walks off.]
