-=Inside of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino suite that X-Rated calls home a camera is on in the living area where just last week Stan Louis was assaulted. X-Rated is sitting in a leather chair with his head down. He is wearing business clothes, again the white button up shirt is undone. The lights are all off in the living area, the only lights in the room are the lights of the Vegas strip. The Suite is still and quiet as X-Rated appears to be alone for the first time since he debut at March To Glory.=-

X-Rated: “What have I done?.....................Is this really worth everything?....................Why did I have to answer the calling?................Why do I feel I have to prove myself time and time again?......................”

{Tears appear in the eye’s of X-Rated as he takes the finial mouthful of his drink, he looks up for a moment and whips the glass across the room shattering it against the wall on impact.}

X-Rated: “I always tell myself, just one more and I’m done………Just one last time………But I’m hook, once I start I am incapable of stopping myself, and this time it may have cost me dearly………….But I can change all of that, I have the power to change who I am, and what I have become, the power is within me, I can make it alright again. Who am I kidding? What was I thinking? I mean seriously what ever possessed me to think I could in the first place?”

{X-Rated stands up and walks over to the window over looking the strip, it appears to be the same window that he threw Stan Louis threw just one week ago. X-Rated opens the balcony door, and steps out. The dessert air is dry, yet cool. The hustle and bustle of the world’s busiest strip kills all silence that existed before the door was opened. X-Rated walks to the rail of the balcony, and looks down at to the street, where people can be seen going every which way, heading in and out of casinos, X-Rated has his back to the camera.}

X-Rated: “Look at them all…….All of those people down there with money signs in their eyes, all with the same hopes and dreams of striking it rich well on vacation, each with their own flawless system that is a sure fire way of winning. Well, that is the only thing those simpletons and I have in common, we both have a system that will insure our victory. See I was in the casino the other night and I thought to myself, why not check the odds on my match up with Sin this Saturday, and much to my surprise Sin was the 10-1 odds on favorite to win. I must say I was shocked, but that’s when it occurred to me that I am truly this under dog in the battle. So I figured I would do some homework to find out why, and that’s I seen Sin and Anthrax together on the screen laughing it up, taking cheap shots at me with a great piece of footage, and that’s when I realized the reason Sin is the odds on favorite isn’t because he’s better, it’s because he has help, and always has had help. See I know your little plan, if things look grim, Anthrax will run down to the ring and save your sorry ass from losing the Championship, and that’s fine, a good plan, and some might say well X-Rated has XXX in his corner, and she can hold her own. Well those people would be right, she can, but she wont be in my corner. No, XXX will not even be in the building on Saturday, as I have instructed her not to be. Sin there is only one way I can get a fair shake in this match and that is if we lock ourselves inside a 15 foot high steel cage! That’s right, I’m laying down the Challenge, let’s see if you are man enough to step up! YOU and ME one on one, inside a steel cage. No outside interference, no excuses, no where to run and hide. I promise you this much, if you are man enough to step inside a locked steel cage with me, it will be a Bloody war!”

{X-Rated turns around and faces the camera, his face is glowing red, a look of pure angry covers his face as he looks almost through the camera and into the eye’s of everyone watching him}

X-Rated: “The time for games if over, there will be no second chances. I have learned that if I want the respect that I deserve I have to demand it and take it from those who refuse to give it. Sin you might think you are unstoppable, but nothing in this world truly is unstoppable, even superman had kryptonite, and “Dun” I am your kryptonite! I possess the ability to stop your rein, to stop you dead in your tracks, and that is exactly what I plan to do come this Saturday! At knockout all those nay Sayers in the back and around the world will bare witness the changing of the guards in the ICWL when I come down on you with the wrath of Ten Angry Gods! Leaving nothing but the shell of the man you once where in my wake! Tonight marks a new dawning in my career. I have realized that as much as I think the ICWL is a joke, it’s not that funny! I will turn the ring into my personal play ground! The funny loving man that you have all gotten to know is gone, now all that is left is a man on a mission, a mission to prove to the world that not only do I think I’m good, but I’m as good as I think I am! The mission starts with you Killah Sin, you will be the first victim left in my wake, but rest assured you will not be my last! The time has come, the time is now, it’s time I take over the ICWL, and prove to everyone that the joke is on them! Welcome to a whole new Rating!”

-=X-Rated walks into the suite, and closes the door behind him, locking the camera man out on the balcony. X-Rated walks across the living area and into the hallway, a light can be seen, as if a door were opened, and disappears just as fast, the camera fades out.=-
