Maniac: Bravo Ronnie, just Bravo. I really need to applaud you right now because that was beautiful, right from the soul and oh so very touching. It almost brought a tear to my eye.
*Maniac slowly stops applauding, a condescending smirk crossing his lips as he speaks.*
Maniac: For those of you playing along at home, that's called sarcasm.
*Maniac now drops the smirk, and his face switches to his usual impassive and serious face as he speaks once more.*
Maniac: It astounded me Ronnie, I'll give you that much. Here I am wondering just how much HWA's World Champion is going to tear into me, and you respond with a story about your upcoming. You bored me with what you have done and what you are doing to the point that I wanted to poke my eyes out with a dull pencil. You still gave me all this sh*t about motivating you when a real champion is always motivated no matter what, that’s one of many reasons you make a worthless champ and when I beat you for the World Title I am going to bring honor and respect back to that belt. That was pretty amusing with the whole identity thing you came up with Ronnie, I know who I am. I know what I am capable of, and I know that I have what it takes to beat you Ronnie because I’ve done it before.
*Maniac reaches forward and lifts up his glass of scotch, raising it with a nod.*
Maniac: To my future World Title reign, may it be long and prosperous.
*Maniac takes a giant swig of his scotch and then places it down. After a few more moments, with his head still bowed Maniac starts speaking again.*
Maniac: You see this Ronnie? You see all this. I got this, because I took my own path from the very moment I went out on my own. I went to New York, I trained hard and have been working my ass off to get where I am at today. My entire life, I've been the Shepherd, not the sheep. I've pushed through and burst my own path, enjoying the good times and suffering through the bad times. From the very get go, I've been my own man, making my own decisions, and fu*k the consequences. The fact you needed to be told it, sickens me. But maybe that’s because there's one big difference between us, Ronnie.
*Maniac shakes his head and then leans forward, softly tapping the side of his head with two fingers.*
Maniac: I think. You do. I take that moment, just a single solitary moment, to think my way before I take any action. I process the consequences, weigh up my options, and then take action. You don't take the time to think, rushing through to do anything your mind comes upon. And that's why you'll always be considered a failure. In 5 years time, when people are talking about Maniac' recent Hall of Fame induction within HWA, you'll be a broken down husk of a man, probably domesticated, trying to keep horny teenagers off your daughter, and thinking back to now, and knowing full well, this is when you had the greatest opportunity to change your ways, and instead ####ed it up.
*Maniac leans back, shaking his head, and speaking softly now, putting as much emotion as possible into his words.*
Maniac: Please, Please, PLEASE listen to me Ronnie. I'm not going into Havoc looking to destroy you. I don't want to do that. I just need you to realize that this path, these antagonistic choices you keep making, for no reason other than to say you’re a rebel, there taking you down the wrong path. For a man who claims to love HWA, the very path you walk upon, is leading HWA to a grave. Please Ronnie, I'm begging you....
*Maniac pauses once more and takes a deep breath. Shaking his head he suddenly stands up.*
Maniac: No fu*k that. LISTEN TO ME YOU SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT! These speeches you make, these actions you do, they have consequences. Consequences for YOU, Consequences for ME, Consequences for EVERY SINGLE ####ING WORKER IN HWA! Maybe nobody else sees it, but I DO. And so help me fuking God, I will MAKE you see it even if I have to smack it into your fuking head myself. Come Havoc You Will LEARN. You will LISTEN. And You...Will...UNDERSTAND! What I do to you, I don't do it for ME. I do it for you! I do it for your wife. I do it for your parents.....for your cousins....for any nieces or nephews you may have… even broken down has-beens like Hans. Every single mother fu*ker that walks the backstage corridors of HWA, confident in the fact they are getting a paycheck.
*Maniac now pauses, huffing and puffing and then reaches up and brushes his hair back with a deep breath.*
Maniac: Just a few days Ronnie. A few days until I stop your title reign, for the good of all HWA. Just a few days until I give HWA a proper Corporate Champion, a champion HWA can be sure will bring in the fans and the sponsors. A Champion HWA can be proud of. Just a few days Ronnie, and then your title reign will have its own grave.
*Maniac sits back and puts on a set of headphones, enjoying the music as the scene fades to black.*
