X-Rated: “Welcome to my home away from home, so to speak. This is where it all began for me, some 15 years ago. It was 15 years ago, that I started on the road of Professional Wrestling. 15 years ago, well in the hospital I met the person that would change my life forever. The person that would give my life direction, and meaning for the first time. Who would have thought though, after all that time I would be the man I am now. Who would have thought, 15 years ago, that today I would be standing here as the Only True Talent in the ICWL? I am the longest reigning World Champion in ICWL history, and now, I have to face off against 11 other men to ‘earn’ the right to face the current world champion? I understand the ICWL is under some administrative changes once again, but unless the ICWL is being ran by a baboon, they should know I deserve to be named the #1 Contender. They should know I should be the one facing the World Champion, which I alone can give the ICWL the credibility it needs, now more then ever, so desperately deserves. The ICWL is finally on it’s way to being the great corporation it once was, and now, the monkeys that be have decided to book a one night only tournament and put every one with a pair of wrestling boots into it? We have people like that ‘Fake for Real’ Brandon McCain, JJ Crawfish, Angel of Deaf, Lug nut, Howdy Doody, just to name a few of the rejects. ”

X-Rated: “And out of all of these talentless, nobodies I get stuck with perhaps the biggest, over inflated, joke in ICWL History, Killah Sin. A man that hit the door running once I was in line to for a World Title Shot. Killah Sin, seen me coming for him and high tailed it out the ICWL the fastest way he could. Now he walks around claiming I never beat him, that I couldn’t beat ‘the god’, well we will find out this Saturday, when I step in the ring against Killah Sin, and eliminate his chances of regaining the World Championship in the first round. Which puts me against either H.G. Hitster or ‘The Prototype’ Sean Evans, either one makes no difference to me. Both are new to the ICWL, and both are going to learn one either this Saturday, or in the not so distance future that this is my organization. Here in the ICWL, I am the top dog, the man all others are measured against. I am the True Talent; I am the BEST the ICWL has to offer. Bane may be the Champion, but I am as good as it get here in the ICWL. I have seen them all, and I have beaten most of them. Those I didn’t beat, left before I had the chance. I have faced the Original Gillesp, Shane Jenkins, Corey Phoenix, Anthrax, you name them, I have beaten them. Evans, you may call yourself the Prototype, and I can’t think of anything more fitting. I have seen you in the MMA world, I have seen you beat some impressive people. But this isn’t the MMA, this is my world, and when you step into my ring, I am in control. You ability to beat someone into submission mean nothing inside the squared circle. In here, there are a million and one different elements that can change at any given moment. You may take me down, but I promise you, you can’t keep me down. You are the Prototype, by definition you are standard and Typical example of every other person that comes into the ICWL. You talk big, act tough, but when the chips are down, you won’t deliver. Like everyone before you, you will come up short. And H.G. Hitster isn’t going to fair any better. I have heard through the grape vine, you took exception to my ‘assault’ of a couple of couple of blue collar Security Guards at Creaser’s Palace last week. You thought it to be Juvenile and utterly pointless. And I have to agree with you. The fact of the matter is beating on three juiced up apes proves nothing. However, beating your Talentless ass out of the Tournament proves that much less.”

X-Rated: “Speaking of Juvenile and Juiced that brings me to another competitor, another new comer to the ICWL. So I hope you are listening, should you be able to beat lug nut, and make it to the second round, should you some how make it past Sebastian Throne and make it to the finals, your luck will run out quicker then O.J. from a murder seen. You are new to the ICWL, and I’m sure you didn’t ask for this chance, but you have been given an opportunity of a life time, in your first night of active competition in the ICWL you have the chance to win the a shot at two of the most sought after Championships. But let’s face it, the odds are not in your favor, to call you the long shot, is a major understatement.”

{X-Rated steps though the ropes of the ring, and jumps down to the floor standing right in front of the camera.}

X-Rated “Now, I have come down here, because I want to make sure every word I say can be heard. JJ Crawfish, I’m talking to you now so listen up. You might impress your two dollar, crab infested AIDS case you call a wife, frankly I have seen high quality of women in a strip joint, but when it comes to people that really matter, you have impressed no one. You attack Bane, when he’s down, and continue to beat on him well he was prone, only to run with your tail tucked, and your yellow streak showing clear as day. And you think you have impressed everyone. I hope this gets through your oversized head. You might be a five time Champion in the Pee Wee leagues, but this is the big time, this is the major leagues. Here you haven’t done $#!T! You haven’t proven a thing. All you have proven is that you can ride the coat tails of others to gain success, if you can even call it that. You say you beat Chris Cage, that’s one thing, I don’t recall such an event, but I do recall handing you your ass on a silver platter moments after your ‘impressive’ win. I do recall walking away well you an the Hardcore Enigma were licking each others wounds. Leaving you laying flat on your backs seeing stars, my business isn’t done with you, not by a long shot. You think you already have this Tournament in the bag, you think you already know how it’s all going to play out. You think you are the best thing since the clapper. Well I want you to take a look, a good hard look. What you are seeing is beyond perfection, beyond excellence. You are looking at what everyone strives to be. You are looking at True Talent, and True Greatness. Crawford, your cheap five Championships are nothing. You are looking at the greatest ICWL World Champion in its History! I have faced them all, and beaten them all. I have climbed to the top and kept everyone else at bay! The difference between you and I, is you say, well I do. Well you are wasting time trying to convince everyone you are everything you think you are, I go out and prove to them all that I’m more then I claim to be. You give me props like it’s supposed to mean something. Coming from you it mean nothing, its nothing more then a feeble attempt to try and butter me up, in hopes I might take it easy on you. You think you have what it takes to do what very few have been able to do? You think you actually have what it takes to pin me, or even better make me submit? Crawford, it’s time you step out of dream land, and back to reality, before Reality smacks you up side that huge head of yours. You may want to step out of the shadow of Bane, you may want to prove you are better then Bane, but I assure you, you aren’t better then me.”

X-Rated: “Now, on to a personal matter. Marionette, you have side lined Chris Cage. I hope you are proud, I hope you made the point you were trying to make. The only point you proved to me, is that you are a cheap shot artist, and a yellow bellied Son of a Bi#$&! Your actions will be answered. Vengeance will be sought. If I don’t get my hands on you this week, rest assured it’s only a matter of time. You may have taken out Chris Cage for now, but in the end it’s your career that is going to end. You will be X-Ecuted.”

-=With that, X-Rated walks into what one would assume to be a locker room, as the lights in the entire warehouse go out, leaving the camera shrouded in complete darkness.=-
