    Maroon:Ok.. Now is where it gets interesting... Ed.. little bro.. You've finally grown the balls that it takes to challange your big brother to a match.. You've finally took it upon your self to be greedy and self dependent that youre willing to tear up a relationship that we've spent 20 years building.. All because that you want a shot at my title. A shot that will no doubt end up with you being kicked through the proverbial barber glass window. You wanted this fued Edward.. Not me... I tried telling you that this wasnt about you.. That The Prodigy was better kept out of this.. But you had to be greedy and think that you deserve a shot at your oldest brothers world championship???

    Is this what we have been doing the past 20 years Ed?? If we wanted something that the other had, we challanged them for it?? No, its never been like that. Ive never come up to you and say... 'Hey Ed your girlfriend is hot.. I challange you to a match at the PPV for her' or 'Hey Eric, I want to hold the remote for a while... You free at the next PPV??' Hell no its never been like that... Why all of a sudden did you take it upon yourself to make this challange??

    You see.. I dont think you we're even smart enough to come up with it yourself.. No I dont... YOu were still walking around backstage confused and all saying.. 'Why, Maroon, Why???' And someone came up to you and said.. 'You know Stevens.. You shouldnt be taking this crap from your brother.. Challange him to a match..'

    Is that what happened, Ed?? Who put you up to this?? Shawn?? Force?? Jenny?? Did the Penguin tell you to do this?? You know it doesnt matter who did or not.. Because it comes down to who the better brother is.. It comes down who can be more manipulative.. And Edward.. Youve been with the company for what?? 6 months now?? Its not a bad run.. Youre one of the top guys in the company right now... But you know why??

    Oh you do know why Ed... It was because of me.. Because of the power I hold backstage... You think that you just so happened to come upon a TV Title Shot your second match here just by chance?? No.. I have pull. I got you that shot.. and Im the one who suggested that you face Shane Black.. One of the biggest idiots out there. Because I know it would be an easy win for you and you could keep your TV Title that much longer..

    Then people were coming up to me and saying.. 'Hey Maroon.. that brother of yours is pretty impressive' They were right.. But then I got to be thinking.. Man, after a few weeks in the company.. And already impressing the old people here.. This cant be good for me... Not for my long term investment into the place..

    So I figured.. Hey since everybody loves Edward.. Lets move him up the ladder.. Lets see what he can do at the next higher level of the food chain.. The Canadian Title.. And I hate to say it.. You cleaned that division up also.. And then again.. people are coming up to me.. .'Damn Maroon.. That Brother of yours is going to be just like you if he keeps this up'

    And then that got me thinking again.. I cant have this happening.. I cant be upstaged by my younger brother who Ive helped train and bring into this business... Theres no way that Im going to be superkicked through that barber glass window by this kid.. Ive worked too hard to make a name for myself only for it to be compared to a younger self of mine..

    This was the same time that I was facing Arnold Layne for the SCW Title.. Yeah I would have a lot of influence as World Champ.. But I knew I couldnt have almost direct control.. So I quit.. I gave back the title to Layne and I took a position as Vice President of this place.. Where I was second in command.. And I had direct control over you and other wretslers, Ed... With me in control.. The glass ceiling was placed Ed.. Your upward movement to the top of this company was halted. You continued to face opponents like The Jackel and Conrad.. The whole time wanting your title shot.. The whole time thinking that you deserved one..

    You remember how you told me that you should have gotten the title shot before Shawn?? I told you I agreed.. But honestly.. Im the one who pushed for Hall to get the title... Do you have any idea how I would have felt.. For people to come up to me and say.. That brother of yours is the youngest World Champ ever.. Hey.. Thats something that I never had.. I can not have that happening..

    So one night you and I talked and you had this great idea on how you could start a fued with Shawn Hall. It was brilliant.. And I must agree, I didnt know where it came from.. Because youve never been one for the plans... So I told you that it could work.. With me being VP and all why shouldnt it.. The plan would have gotten you the world title.. Me out of retirement and an awesome team of Maroon/Stevens/Layne..

    But I really couldnt let that happen.. I couldnt be known as the brother of the youngest world champ in history.. So, I orchestrated and put in motion the entire closing of this place.. I talked Tyson into closing up shop so you would never have the chance to be SCW champ Edward.. So you would never have the chance to upstage me here..

    "Hey the EWA is opening. Lets go there" You wanted.. Ok. I thought.. We could.. It would be the same slew of scabs that were in the SCW.. I would have non direct control over the crappy management.. So the only thing I could do.. Was... go into the tag team division. That way.. Youre way out of the world title contention and I could still have my thumb on you and you couldnt move up singles..

    Ahh but with crappy management and bad booking the EWA fell onto itself and we got word that Tyson was going to reopen the SCW... Now I actually began to worry. Arnold Layne wasnt coming back.. Shawn Hall was questionable.. I had no direct power anymore.. Something needed tp be done..So, I fed you those lines about being co-champions.. Its never been done before.. And Edward.. You bought it hook line and sinker...

    In the World Title Tumble.. I was faced with an option.. I was hoping that you would get eliminated early.. So none of this would have to come out.. But I was given one of three options.. Be the brother of a world champion and give him his shot... Take the title and run.. or let Nuke have the title and neither one of us would have to face each other in that way.. But the whole world knows you cant let Nuke be the world champ.. So that option was out..

    So then it was.. Have Edward question everything we have built.. And take the title for myself just so I wouldnt have to be the Brother of The World Champion.. And you know what has happened from there..

    Edward.. all last week, I would say.. This isnt about you.. this isnt about you.. But in actuallity.. Its all about you, Ed.. Its about you upstaging me.. Its about you getting the main events... About you getting the deals, the movie contracts the recognition... While I would be stuck with tagging with Conrad and be apart of the Rockers 2K1 Tag Team.. No way, bud.. Thats not going to happen..

    You see.. I have something that you will never have Ed.. You dont have the drive or the determination to set plans in motion and follow through with them.. All you have is your... Im going to go out there and win attitude.. While as I.. I have the... 'How can I go out there, win or lose.. But make sure that I still gain the victory' attitue..

    Do you realise how many people Ive manipulated just so you wouldnt get this belt Ed?? Dozens.. Can you do that, Edward?? Can you come out here and tell me that youve scammed dozens of people just to get what you wanted?? No you cant.. Thats where I have you at the advantage, Ed.. You may impress the brass with your talent.. But I screw over the brass with my brain.

    Something that you can never do, Ed.. So, what Im going to do for you Ed is this... You want a title shot at the PPV.. For that Im going to have to say no.. Im sorry.. You have not proven yourself to be world class main event material at a PPV.. I would like to save that for someone who has some sort of better understanding of the business.. And right now Ed.. Its not you.. I mean.. You have never beaten me in a match... Ever..

    So what I have planned is for this friday.. Yeah we're in the tag match with Forks and Krow.. But I have power.. Im changing that.. Right now.. Me and you are out of that match.. Hell put Hall and Norris in there for all I care if the brass wants their tag match.. And I will give you a shot at my title this friday.. Thats right.. Youre getting your shot.. But its not going to be at a high profile Pay Per View.. No its going to be the last 10 minutes of a friday night show.. Where I wont be able to embarrass you as much if it was on a PPV..

    Do you think that far ahead, Edward?? I dont think so..

    You're getting your title shot Ed.. Its not as prestigious.. But then.. You cant have every thing prestigious when your big brother isnt pulling the strings and laying down the red carpet for you anymore..

    Congrats Edward.. Youve brought it on yourself..

    Now get the fu(k outta me..
