(EDDIE STIS THERE HAVING HIS LUNCH IN THE NEWLY RENOVATED BAR. KEN SITS)

KEN: have you seen what they're saying now..Every piece of crap in the fed is gunning for you...you know why?

EDDIE: they think they can take me out now, they think I'm down and out..They don't see me doing much promos so they think they got an edge because I'm emotionally unbalanced...

KEN: ok, then why aren't you responding back?

EDDIE: Listen...they want what I got.. They have nothing I want...My job is to sit here and listen as each triy to verbally climb the ladder of success and intimidate me...I was there, They think they will sway the crowd and take away something from me..I WAS THERE they think they will say something new and inspiring....THEY THINK THEY CAN BEAT ME...that's were I differ from them,,, I never though I could beat someone I knew I could...

KEN: Eddie, then get out there and set them straight

EDDIE I will not give them ammunition...I know what it is like to just keep talking until your opponent unfolds in front of your eyes and the very same thing they held so close to them now is their worst enemy

KEN: What could that be?

EDDIE: there sanity.

KEN: What...

EDDIE: Ken I know what this is...See all that time I have been gone i have actually been in Bellevue mental instituion...

KEN: What..

EDDIE: I wasn't there for treatment..I wasn't there for help, I was there Talking to the patients... one in particular, see he helped me without me wanting any help or even knowing he was helping me..you know what he told me

KEN: WHAT?

EDDIE: He told me, sometimes when you ahve no place to turn, no where to go you create your own escape and in that escape you meet the people you want to meet, you befriend those you need to befriend to help you make it back

KEN: What are you talking about?

EDDIE: SMILES AND TAKES HIS SHOT...Do I seem that pathetic right now that all of the bottom feederS from HWA think they can just challenge me,WHY DON'T WE JUST GIVE DEAS A CALL AND PUT HIM IN THE FRONT...SEE, I just now renewed my contract, it allows me to pick my opponents..see alittle cause I got when Myself and AC was moving about...it came into effect the minute I won This title...see Senester thinks he really has control..But he is only as much of a puppet as we all are...and if anyone deserves a title shot..Well after me and Senester tangle..(GEST CUT OFF)

ANGEL: WHY DID YOU DO THAT...

EDDIE: Becasue no one else would have, who in their right mind would ever think to put their title on the line against that purple wearing trickster...

ANGEL: NO ONE

EDDIE: you know why...Because I'm not in my right mind..I'm actually in the left one...

ANGEL: It seems your in the one that left

EDDIE: TOMATOE..TOMOTOE....(LAUGHS)..GLAD YOUR BACK BRO..YOU HAVE TO MEET KEN...He is this guy who think he knows what is best for me..he means well..but he hs alot to learn about ME...

ANGEL So you let out your real name

EDDIE: What..what does that have to do with anything
