X-Rated: “See man, I don’t need Mason’s help to live the good life. Don’t get me wrong, the money he keeps shoving my way is great, but it’s not like I need it to survive. I have worked hard both in and out of the ring, and with a few sound business investments, here I sit on my own private jet, with the ability to fly anywhere I want, anytime I want. Now I know you have had a taste of this, fight class flights, use of the company jet, high class hotel rooms, all being paid for on the company dime, and I know you would like nothing more then to have these perks all the time”
{Arsenic smiles at X-Rated before taking a drink of the Champagne.}
Arsenic: “Don’t you worry about me, I have more then enough money put away to take care of myself, but I will give you credit man, this jet is pretty sweet.”
X-Rated: “I’m not saying you don’t, but I think you should really invest some of it. You should set it yourself up for life, now I just happen to know where you should invest it. I just happen to own one of the largest Real Estate in Las Vegas, and I could set you up with some prime property that would almost triple in value inside of six months. See my firm happens to own some great development land, and I would be willing to cut you in on.”
Arsenic: “Hey, I make it a habit of not mixing business with business. Don’t get me wrong man, I think what you are offering is great and all, but I don’t want to cause any problems if it doesn’t work out. Now, I thought we were going to talk about our up coming match up man, this is our second shot at the World Tag Team Championship, and I know that the first time we go a shot we had planned the whole thing, but this time I would like to take it to Bane and Judgement and finally show those two what Damage Inc is truly all about.”
X-Rated: “Alright, alright let’s get down to business shall we? What did you have in mind for this weekend?”
Arsenic: “Blood, violence, and career ending injuries to both of them. Other then that not a whole lot of anything.”
X-Rated: “I think the blood and violence is a given, I mean, Rage in a Cage, you know it’s going to get messy. Now I know Bane has to be sore after his little scuffle with Deacon Frost., and well Judgement hasn’t seen any real action in the last two weeks. We have the advantage going in, Bane isn’t going to be completely 100% no matter how hard he tries to convince us he will be. And Judgement, well he’s nothing more then a joke anyways. Does he really think he has what it takes to face the True Talent? Does he really think he can handle the wrath of Sadistic Perfection? He is stepping inside a Steel Cage, with a roof on it, and weapons hanging everywhere, if that doesn’t make you feel at home I don’t know what will. We are both Former World Champions, and I know that you would love to get back into the World Heavyweight title race once again, and this is our chance to prove to ourselves, to Bane, Judgement and everyone else that thinks we have gotten ‘soft’ just how hard we really are. Judgement hasn’t proven anything in my opinion, and I know he feels the same way, sure he was able to pull out a fixed victory over both of us.”
Arsenic: “Hey, don’t get me wrong I trust you and all, but let’s face it, it’s not like Bane and Judgement are going to be complete push overs. They are the World Tag Team Champions, and last week Bane was pretty impressive against Deacon Frost.
{X-Rated smiles, then polishes off his glass of champagne.}
X-Rated: “That’s the whole point! Bane wont be at 100%,a nd Judgement is nothing more then a Bane follower, hoping to ride his coattails to the top, just like Bane has done in the past. Man, you have to understand something, as impressive as Bane’s match may have been last week, he was facing a washed up, old fart! Deacon Frost isn’t the same man you see on the taped footage, he isn’t the same sick bastard that he was when he first arrived in the ICWL. Deacon Frost came back to the ICWL to try and make a point, and he proved it in my opinion.
Arsenic: “Maybe you missed the show last week, but Frost lost!”
X-Rated: “I know he did, I watched the match. And that’s the point, Frost came back to prove that he still has it, and he proved that he doesn’t. Sure a win over Deacon Frost is always a plus in anyone’s books, but when it’s a win over Today’s Frost it’s just not the same. Now I know they are calling themselves Deadly Intent, but they are stepping in the True Perfection! You know as well as I do that the best talent in the ICWL is in Damage Inc, Not Dark Forces, not the Alliance of Dorkness or any other faction that is crawling out of the wood work. Arsenic, you and I are the two best athlete’s the ICWL has, that’s why I agreed to work with you. I don’t respect many people in this business, but you are one of them. With the True Talent, and Sadistic Perfection working together we are completely unstoppable. Bane can say what he likes about us. He can scream at the top of his lungs, from the highest mountain top, till he’s blue in the face, the fact of the matter is, he’s no going to be at the top of his game, and he has a nobody in his corner to depend on. Judgement is a joke, pure and simple. Nothing he has done has impressed anyone, in fact, I can’t think of one person with mentioning that he holds a clean victory over. Judgement doesn’t know what he is up against, and he can think all he wants that because he has faced us before, he has our number, that he knows what it takes to beat the True Talent, that he knows how to upset Sadistic Perfection, but we both know Judgement knows Jack when it comes to either of us. Let him watch tapes, let him do all the research he wants, he has no clue what is in store for him. Deadly Intent is just mere moments away from being nothing more then a foot note on the rise of True Perfection!”
Arsenic: “I like the sound of that, True Perfection!!! It just kind of rolls off the tongue, and you’re right, Judgement nor Bane know what they are going to be stepping into. Judgement has named the stipulation, he has permitted the use of weapons, and incased us inside steel, making the ring itself the most dangerous weapon. Judgement has basically invited me back into my world. When the cage door closes, I will truly be at ease. Inside the ring I will be surrounded but the tools I have utilized many times in the past. Rage in a Cage is going to be the finial resting place of Judgement and for Bane.”
X-Rated: “That’s most like it. Think about it, you and I have been in some of the most barbaric matches in this crazy industry. What we are stepping into is nothing new to us, sure the name may be different, but it’s the same damn match. There will be blood, there will be pain, and there will be suffering. We are going to be hurt afterwards, but most importantly we are going to be victorious. By this time tomorrow you are going to be one half of the World Tag Team Champions. Take a moment, let that sink in. How good does that sound, ‘one half of the World Tag Team Champions.’ This is our chance to prove to Bane, Judgement and everyone else that Damage Inc is still the most dominate factions in the ICWL, Past, Present or future. Dark Forces, Cruel Fate, Simply The Best, all of them pale in comparison. Damage Inc has already proven our dominance, we have already proven our strength, and Knockout is going to be just another night for us. We have nothing else to prove, the burdon of proof is not on us, but on Dark Forces, and Deadly Intent..”
{The Captain’s voice comes over the PA system of the Jet}
Captain: “Sir, we are about to start our decent, if you and your guest would please put on your seat belts.”
X-Rated: “Now my friend, the fun truly begins.”
