Maniac: Those people down there? That’s a collection of your average HWA fan base, loyal, committed, and friendly. When they come to our shows, they cheer for their heroes, they boo for the villains. They buy the merchandise, the PPVs, and whatever relic Art can drag up to hock on eBay in lieu of getting on a pension. They watch as many matches as they can, from the wars of yesteryear between Buff Bridges and Senester over the fate of the HWA to the wars of just last week, when me and Ronnie McNeil waged war for the HWA World Heavyweight Championship. The HWA fans have seen it all, watched it all, and reviewed it all. And for that, they deserve our applause and our thanks.
*Maniac turns to walk back over to the edge, hands raised to applaud them, but he stops as he looks out at the view, and turns back to the camera. After a moment pause, Maniac lowers his hands again and steps back.*
Maniac: Maybe later. But, as I was saying, HWA fans are great fans. But they are also human, and like almost any humans, they make mistakes. And that’s why I stand here before you today, to discuss this mistake.
*Maniac pauses to adjust his tie again, and take a moment to order his thoughts, before opening his mouth again.*
Maniac: Not too long ago, HWA fans were asked to vote on a number of things. From the much cherished HWA 2011 MVP, to the much mocked Most Loved. And for some reason, the HWA fans looked back at last year, and they ignored the facts. They ignored the evidence. And in almost every category they could, they voted for Logan Neilson. Most Loved, Feud of the Year, and HWA Match of the Year. All awarded to Logan Neilson. Now, I'm not going to stand here and call you morons. I'm not going to question the sanity behind the votes. I'm going to point out the cold hard facts. See, they voted for a man who not only walked out on the HWA, but a man who is going to testify in court against the very company that made him who he is today. Talk about low Logan, and people think that I’m bad. But, let me carry on with the fact that not only is that lousy good for nothing Logan Neilson is testifying against the HWA we now have Bryan Deas walking around here like he is the new Messiah of wrestling. He loses half of his matches, holds no single gold for decades, and gets pinned clean in the center of the ring by me but at this past Havoc by the hand of Senester, Talon, and I we hand fed him the All-Star Title. We HANDED the title to Deas yet he acts like he defied the odds and won a hard fought battle. And yet, the fans cheered him on like some sort of hero.
*Maniac pauses shaking his head in sheer disbelief, before he looks up at the camera again and speaks.*
Maniac: Now, at this coming Havoc Senester and I are set to step in the ring against not only the man who lost against Bryan Deas but the man who cheated me out of my HWA World Title shot. Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven, you two are going to feel firsthand the wrath that Senester and I bring down upon everyone who defies us. Ronnie I hope you are proud of yourself, you talked all this crap about honor and what did you do? YOU CHEATED!!! Did you get that desperate Ronnie, were you that scared of losing your title that you had to use the bottom rope to get that extra leverage to beat me? Well congrats because you have proven me right, you are no champion Ronnie you are an f*cking hack. And now to your tag team partner Heinrich von Richtoven, Heinrich you and I are no strangers in the ring so come Havoc when we are in the ring don’t be shocked when I smash your face in with my fist. You are just as bad as Ronnie, preaching all this self-righteous bull sh*t like you are better than everyone else and look where it got you, a loss to Bryan Deas with him walking away All-Star Champion. But you know what is really strange, no matter what you two do the fans always cheer.
*Maniac pauses again, adjusting his tie as his free hand reaches up to rub his jaw. After a moment's pause Maniac clears his throat and shakes his head, and then tries to speak up as calmly as possible.*
Maniac: And so, I now find myself needing to ask, HWA....
*Suddenly Maniac's face explodes in rage, his tempter getting the better of him as he screams at the camera.*
Maniac: WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU??? It just...It boggles my F*CKING MIND. How do you look at...at...those two il gallo frega and think that they are better than I am? How can you possibly believe that a pair of baciatori di asino to you idiot fans are the ones who represent this company? It makes me sick to think that people like Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven are the ones that the fans want to see, what makes them so great? Ronnie is a cheater because he knows that if given a fare chance I would take that HWA World Championship away and Heinrich, well he is just a loser who like his brother needs to vanish.
*Maniac pauses now, eyes bulging, vein popping, and face blowing up. After a few moments pause though he takes a few deep breaths and adjusts his tie again, before speaking up in his calm voice once more.*
Maniac: The sad truth is, you HWA fans made a big mistake. You ignored me, the man who busted his ass, who put everything he had on the line night in and night out, who waved the banner high for all of you. You chose Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven as your heroes; you congratulated them for their wrestling, when the truth is they can't hold a candle to me. Within those ropes, Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven is a one trick Pony. Ronnie proved it at Havoc; he showed me the blueprint on how to beat him. This coming Havoc there’s no 'almost', there's no second chances. Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven are going to show up to Havoc. They’re going to be riding high on their wave of momentum, with all you fans cheering them on to win. And Senester and I are going to take them down, stretch them out, and expose them as the frauds they are. You made the mistake of putting so much faith in them now it’s going to be my pleasure to embarrass them in front of millions. They’re not on my level, not even close. Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven are, and always will be, a trick pony you bring out to pop the fans, nothing more than a couple of Jesters in a Kings Court or a couple of Clowns in a Circus. Get your kicks, get your slaps, and then get out of the way, so the REAL wrestlers can show you how it’s done. Last week Heinrich, you got a match. You and Deas went head to head and he beat you. But when you left the HWA fans left that night, it wasn't you and Deas they were talking about. It was the clinic me and Ronnie put on. Thirty Minutes of actual Wrestling and neither he got the cheap win in the end. And yet, they talked about our clinic, instead of your little sideshow act. And believe me Heinrich, it wasn't because of Ronnie. I've fought Ronnie a few times now, lost once and then had his number for rounds 2 and 3. But YOU...you just kick, punch, and slap. Add in some hair pulling, and you'll be the stereotypical woman wrestler. And yet these fans, they cheer you on. They seem entertained by your matches. And you think, because they enjoy watching you, your actually something. Heinrich let me drop this cold hard truth on you. At Havoc, you're not leaving with the win, and when Senester have our way you and Ronnie won’t be walking out of that ring at all. I'm not swearing over my dead body. No talk of cold stiff fingers clenched around the gold. I'm sticking to the facts, to the irrefutable truth. And the TRUTH is you and Ronnie isn’t good enough to beat me and Senester. Deas proved he was the toughest fight of your career. And in a few encounters, he beat you. So if you can’t scrape by Deas, how are you going to beat SENESTER AND ME? Many times Ronnie and I have gone to war, and every time, I've had his number, and he's known it. I almost ended Ronnie's career last week and after all our wars, the only constant other than he lucky win has been me beating Ronnie. And so if Deas can push you to your limits, if Deas can test your skills to such an extent, that you can’t even beat him...how can you possibly hope to beat me?
*Maniac pauses to adjust his tie again, this time slipping it off and holding it in the air and letting it flicker in the wind, a smirk tugging at his lips.*
Maniac: Truth is boys, you can't, and you won’t. You’re going to show up at Havoc, do your little sideshow act, and watch as I stand there and just laugh at you. All your fans, all those morons that cheer you on, they might see this as the battle of the year. They might see this as a battle of good versus evil just to see which of us is better. Senester and I are going to be the ones leading the HWA into its next era. When the names Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven are just remembered as Hall of Famers, coming back for the occasional DAMN appearance, we'll be here, fighting the next generation. We'll be in the same place you guys are now. And when that happens, the fans will look back on this as the first tag match ever between us. And they'll see, that from the start of the war until the end of time, the result will always read, Senester and Maniac def. Ronnie McNeil and Heinrich von Richtoven. You’re not good enough to beat me Ronnie; you weren't at last week’s Havoc. You won't be at this coming Havoc. And you'll never be in the future. I'm the best there is in the HWA, Ronnie. That’s not my ego, that’s a simple fact, the simple unadulterated truth. I'm better then you are Ronnie and I’m better then Heinrich, and at Havoc, your little sideshow act is going to be shown up for what it is. And all the kicks, punches, and back fists in the world won't stop you from staring at the ceiling, and watching as I raise my hand in victory again because at Havoc boys....
*Maniac let’s go of his tie and it goes flying in the wind. He watches as it flies away and he has a sick grin on his face.*
Maniac: You get what you asked for, the face paint comes off and we get to play.
*With the sick grin still on his face he walks off back inside as the scene fades to black.*
