(Mr. Herrington): You’ve had quite the interaction with Michael James this week on social media…care to elaborate on that.
(Fallen): What is there to elaborate on….he’s the All Star Champion and I want his title. Men are going to have words about that….it’s as simple as that.
* We jump cut back to the promo showing James with his back to the camera. He drapes the All Star Championship over his shoulder and removes the cigarette from his mouth. He casually turns around and faces the camera lens *
Michael James: Tonight, history was made at the expense of one of the biggest douche bags in the business. And no, I’m not talking about Freddie Styles. Defeat just comes natural for people like him. I’m referring to the physical intervention that was handed down to that piece of shit Steve Angel by the most dominant All Star Champion in company history. And I really don’t care what people want to say about my choice to assist Fallen with a victory over Butch Parker. I didn’t come back to the industry to be predictable. I came back to do what I’m good at and that’s ending careers. The first time Fallen left the company it was because of fear of keeping up with active competition. Now that he’s back it will only be a matter of time until he makes the same move in an attempt to avoid any confrontation with the man he fears more than anything else in the world. Me. The Personification of Perfection and ONLY undefeated flagship champion of the HWA.
* He takes a drag from the cigarette and tosses it aside *
Michael James: Sure. I could have attacked Parker and claimed rights on the world championship directly after his victory over Senester like everyone expected. But that wasn’t the point I was trying to make tonight. You see, Angel made a return to the company for one reason and one reason only. He thought it was safe. Well, I hate to be the voice of disappointment for all you Fallen supporters but the HWA will never be a safe place for someone like him. When Steve Angel is outmatched he only has one mode of defense. Panic. And what do weak minded people do when they are at a complete loss of control? They tuck tail and run. Steve has already proven how much of a coward he truly is when it comes to serious competition. Soon enough people will understand what I’m talking about. We will be rid of Steve Angel and I will be given sole responsibility for his anticipated retirement. And don’t get me wrong. I have no problem claiming my rights on the World Championship.
* James reaches up to his face and rips off the gauze with an almighty yank. A scar appears to have formed from result of the damage he took in the match against Freddie Styles *
Michael James: I’ve said it time and time again. There’s nothing special about Butch Parker. Just like Judas Mercury, capturing his championship won’t prove be a difficult task for me. If anyone knows anything about the All Star Champ it’s that I’m a man of my word. And you know what? I’m going to prove why Parker has no business holding that championship. It may not be today or tomorrow but eventually, Butch is going to accept his position at the very bottom of the pecking order. It obviously isn’t at the top because that’s my domain. Everyone knows that. Everyone that is, except for Butch Parker; the most embarrassing excuse for a world champion in the history of the HWA. The sad part about the whole thing is I used to read his promos and actually consider him to be a potential adversary. Unfortunately, Parker is only half the man he used to be and the same goes for bullshit material. He’s fallen into the same obnoxious groove that continues to guide Steve Angel’s career further and further down the ####ing toilet. Unlike Fallen and Parker, I never dumb myself down for any reason no matter what the situation may be. I have always performed at one hundred and ten percent and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. I’m going to be the next World Heavyweight Champion. It’s not a prediction or an expectation. It’s just the way things are meant to be. People may not want to accept it but I don’t give a shit.
* He wipes his cheek and chuckles to himself upon sight of his own blood covering the tips of his fingers *
Michael James: If I was in the same mid card talent pool as people like Steve Angel or Stu E Price then I might have something to worry about. Thankfully, I’m nothing like either one of those useless douche bags. I’m the Personification of Perfection. I’m the one man in the company that you don’t want to #### with. I told Judas Mercury, Freddie Styles and Bryan Deas the exact same thing and they didn’t want to believe me. Where are they now? That’s right. They’re sitting around with their thumbs stuck up each other’s asses like a human centipede trying to recover from a lifetime of empty promises. Is it my problem they failed to live up to their own expectations? No, it sure as hell isn’t. If they talk a big game just to receive shame and humiliation in return it’s because they underestimated their own capabilities. Freddie Styles underestimated our encounter on Havoc and now he has nothing more to show for his efforts but another pathetic loss to contribute towards his pointless career. But then again you can’t really expect much from a guy who relies on paper weight victories as a sense of intimidation. I hate to be the one to break it to you Freddie but Romano and Bridges are hardly what anyone would consider to be legendary material. Otherwise, why haven’t we heard a ####ing thing from either one of them in months? It’s not that hard to figure out. This is the new HWA and neither one of those outdated mother####ers want to have anything to do with it.
* He adjusts the All Star Championship draped over his shoulder. James admires the face plate before turning his attention back towards the camera lens *
Michael James: I just want to know one thing, Freddie. What happened? You said you were better than me. You promised everyone that you had this one “in the bag”.
* James looks away from the camera and forms a devious smile from ear to ear. He looks up towards the lens with a sneer similar to that of a serial killer *
Michael James: Just like your pitiful hopes and dreams of one day becoming the World Heavyweight Champion; it looks like you were wrong again, asshole.
* He turns away from the camera and approaches a bulletin board mounted on the wall. There are several photographs of individual men that James has faced throughout his illustrious career in the HWA. There is a large red colored X on the faces of Stu E Price, Freddie Styles, Wayne Heckler, Michael Kosh, Bryan Deas and Judas Mercury. The camera pans below the images to reveal a photograph of Fallen without the X seen in all of the other images. Michael James turns away from the wall and faces the camera *
Michael James: People think that their personal thoughts and opinions are the only ones that matter even when they are shown demonstrations that prove otherwise. How many times have I been put in a situation where my opposition doubts me? How many times have I prevailed when I respond? There has not been a single time when I have lost a match that I have promoted. As far as Steve Angel is concerned, things are far from being done between the two of us. He has stated over and over exactly how much he wants a shot at my title and so far it hasn’t done a ####ing thing for him. No one has given in to his demands or awarded him for his public display of individual stupidity. And you know what, Angel? That isn’t going to change anytime soon. I told you once before, asshole. If you want to work at the top of the mountain you’re going to have to earn it. Unlike Butch Parker, I’m the only undefeated champion on the roster today. You know what that means, Steve? It means I’m better than you. I’m better than the World Champion Butch Parker. It means I have surpassed the position of an undisputed champion and transcended towards the status of a living legend. And you want to know something else? It was easy for me. In less than six months time I have managed to accomplish more in the HWA than anyone on the entire ####ing roster. So you know what, Fallen? I could care less if you want a shot at my championship. Until you approach me like a professional you aren’t getting a ####ing thing from the Personification of Perfection.
* He removes the All Star Championship from his shoulder. He uses both of his hands to hold up the title with the face plate directed towards the camera. James takes a few steps forward so the viewers can take notice of the plate’s custom detail *
Michael James: Fallen, I want you to take a good look at something you will never have. Take a good look at something I earned through sweat, blood and back breaking labor while you were busy planning your useless return to the company. I can promise you one thing, asshole. If you keep testing my limits that kick in the mouth I gave you on Havoc is going to be a petty appetizer compared to what I have planned for Road to Ruin. And yes, I know you will just take that as an invitation to add fuel to the fire. Everyone knows your routine by now so go ahead and say whatever the #### you want to say. Compare me to all of the decrepit relics of the HWA when you run out of material. Do all of those predictable things that we know you’re going to do. It didn’t help you very much last week but who knows? Maybe things will turn out in your favor for the first time in your life. Maybe you will pull a last minute miracle out of your ass in your next promo that puts you over the top.
* James looks into the camera with a cynical expression on his face. A few seconds later he starts to laugh out loud as he drapes the All Star Championship over his shoulder once more *
Michael James: Yeah, right. Let’s get serious here. We both know you don’t have the ability or physical skills to stand a chance against someone like me. I told Freddie Styles the same thing and you saw what happened when he refused to consider my advice. I told him to make the smart move and back out of the match while he still had the chance. He didn’t want to do that. He wanted to prove that he could do the impossible by stealing a win from the only man in the company with a flawless record. He put forth the effort of a hero so I had no choice but to grant him the beating of a lifetime. He may not have deserved it but that really made no difference to me. Disrespect is disrespect and I refuse to tolerate that kind of bullshit from anyone. I’m the undefeated All Star Champion so I don’t have a ####ing thing to prove to anyone at this point. If you really want an opportunity to face me for this championship, you approach me like a ####ing man with some actual dignity. Everything I have seen from you has been piss poor quality and I know you can do better. Then again, maybe you can’t. Maybe this is as good as you’re ever going to be, Fallen. If that’s the case I would be better off giving the title opportunity to someone like Wisdom Parker. At least with the Wis I can face someone with some ####ing balls.
* James moves out of frame and the promo cuts to a static feed *
