Roleplay Number: 04 MLW Record: W:02 - L:00 - D:01 Opponent: 'Your Teacher' Matt Striker vs. HHH Event: Underground TV

The camera picture fades up and we open straight away with a shot of Matt Striker's classroom, both Striker and Michelle McCool are present. Striker certainly doesn't look pleased as he stands staring at his blackboard which has quite clearly been defaced with a large DX logo sprayed over the board and a number of obscenities written beneath Striker's name. Striker stands with his arms folded before turning to Michelle McCool.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: 'How dare those degenerates defile my classroom like this! '

Matt Striker then turns around and notices the MLW cameraman, he quickly composes himself and flashes a fake smile at the camera before taking his seat at his desk. He then motions to Michelle McCool to clean up the classroom as he begins to speak.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' Welcome once again my students to the classroom of your MLW World Heavyweight champion, Matt Striker. I must firstly ask that you ignore the petty vandalism and the foul obscenities scrawled across my blackboard... as I am sure even you can tell I have become the victim of the average, petulant pranks of D Generation X. Don't worry though the wonderful Miss Michelle McCool will soon erase that childish graffiti. Then you can pay me your full attention... you see as your MLW World Heavyweight champion it's important that you focus on me because there is just so much that I wish to impart upon all of you watching at home. And for this week's lesson in particular I simply won't stand for any distractions, what I have to say is of the utmost importance... so stop talking... spit out that gum... and keep your eyes on me. '

Matt Striker pauses, looking down at what appears to be some notes, a lesson plan perhaps, before clearing his throat to speak.

 'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' This week I wish to speak about arguably what matters the most in the world today... the future. I wish to speak about what the world will be like in years to come and what our society will have evolved or even regressed into. It will undoubtedly be a world shaped by the leaders of tomorrow, the products of our own society... our children. Yes, I'm afraid that the old adage is true... the children are our future. They are the ones who will lead the nation in government, in science, in education and even in sports... they are tomorrow's presidents, scientists, educators and champions. I see them walking into class each morning filled with potential... they truly could accomplish so much and they give me a hope for the future that our society will remain intact and that our nation will continue to flourish. However, when I see those same children listening to rap music, talking about the latest violent video game and copying the fads and fashions of their celebrity heroes I begin to doubt and fear for their future. Could all that potential be wiped away by those awful influences? Surely not I think to myself... until I consider the most damaging, detrimental and deleterious of all influences... D Generation X. '

Matt Striker's face looks positively shaken as he goes on speaking.

 'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' Am I the only one that sees what a dreadful influence those degenerates are having on our young people? With their pathetic pranks and obscene jokes they are turning the children in classrooms across the world into delinquents like themselves. Young children turn on their TV screens to watch MLW and they have what should be an entertaining, educational Matt Striker led show polluted by Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Those two reprobates turn Underground TV into a show that is totally unsuitable for anyone under the age of eighteen. They are simply not fit to be on any show that has a young audience, unless they clean up their act then they have no place in MLW. What children need to see are upstanding members of society, with moral, conservative values... people that children can learn from... people like myself. I am exactly the sort of person who should be fronting MLW programming because I can be a role model... somebody to look up to... somebody for children to aspire to be like. Children most certainly shouldn't lookup to D Generation X... they may not realise it but paying any attention to those two clowns could be the worst mistake they ever make. It may just start with copying a crude, crass catchphrase but from their the vulgarity spreads and they begin to use foul language and disgusting innuendo all the time. Before long they're out with their can of spray paint labelling DX all over their neighbourhood... and from there who knows where they'll end up... doing drugs... having underage, unprotected sex... and eventually they could end locked up in jail. It's all one big downward spiral... what D Generation X are doing is corrupting the potential leaders of tomorrow... it's ruining all their potential. And if our young people can't fulfil their potential... if they're tainted by D Generation X... then what future do we have? What future is their for society if the whole world is running around influenced by two Punchinellos like Shawn Michaels and HHH? I dread to think what could happen... but thankfully their are still some people like myself who care about our children and about our future. '

Striker lowers his head, pausing and almost appearing despondent. He slowly raises his head once more to speak.

 'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' Now at this moment in time things do not appear to be getting any better. For some bizarre reason Kimberley Page allowed D Generation X the opportunity to take over Underground TV this coming week. I honestly dread to think of the chaos and the havoc that those degenerates will reek given the control over the show. I am really beginning to lose my patience with MLW management and the powers that be... how on earth can they subject their World Heavyweight champion to work under the conditions of D Generation X. It is becoming time for the powers that be to show themselves before the situation deteriorates any further. If they refuse to show themselves then I will simply have to take matters into my own hands. You see I am not willing to stand by and watch HHH and Shawn Michaels simply stroll around MLW as they please... I will not allow them any fun and games... their simply won't be the time for them to fool around. I will make sure that they have their fair share of trouble to deal with... I assure they will be tested by myself. As long as I wear the MLW World Heavyweight championship then I don't care who is in charge of Underground TV... I am still by far the most important man in the building and I am the one with the real power. '

Striker is now seeming more like his old self getting back into the way of things.

 'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' While I intend to fully test both degenerate Triple H in particular will have one major problem, he'll be in the ring with the MLW World Heavyweight champion... myself, Matt Striker. I must acknowledge that it will be interesting to face a former ten time World champion, but I'm not expecting too many problems from a man who has quite simply let himself go. He's a shadow of his former self... no longer a force to be reckoned with. You see these days he's far more concerned with his idiotic pranks and jokes rather than his wrestling career. As his mind has regressed so has his wrestling ability... his mind is that of a young child's and his wrestling ability is that of a rookie, not a seasoned veteran. For HHH to even contemplate that he could match me in the ring he will need to get his head back into the game and change from the man who makes infantile innuendo into an the cerebral assassin that he once was. You can watch the tapes and see why he was once a great World champion... as he said at the time he was the Cerebral Assassin. He used his mind and his intelligence to win matches and to win championships... he was cold, calculating and callous... qualities that are all necessary if you are to be a champion. To look at him now is almost rather sad... he has lost that intelligence and those qualities that won him championships. Since losing them he has lost any chance of ever becoming an eleven time world champion and ever taking the MLW World Heavyweight title from me. If he thinks that he can laugh and joke his way to the title then he really has lost all of that, once feared, intelligence. I honestly can't see him changing his ways but maybe if I teach him a proper in ring lesson then he may come to his senses... maybe he'll see where he's been going wrong. If after the beating I give him this Monday he still doesn't change his ways then I predict that he will become a joke... tarnishing any reputation he once had. All of his degenerate antics won't get him laughs for much longer, because once I humiliate him inside the ring people will see the sad old man that HHH is becoming. Hopefully I will not only beat Triple H but I will send him the message that he and D Generation X are going to get nowhere in MLW and hopefully I will force HHH and Shawn Michaels out of MLW. You see he is no longer a champion and no longer a man who deserves to be involved in wrestling... if all he wants to do is pollute and corrupt the minds of those watching home... of those children watching at home... then I say to him good riddance. I won't stand by and let D Generation X destroy our children and our future I will fight those damn degenerates and all that they stand for because I am an educater and a true, up standing member of society... I am Your Teacher... Matt Striker. '

Striker gives a determined looking stare down the camera as Michelle McCool returns to his side to pose as the camera begins to fade out to a preview for Underground TV.
