(We fade in to a dirty motel room, Jason Reeves is sitting down taking a sip from his whiskey drink. His half of the EPW tag team championship is sitting on the table in front of him.)

Stalker: I bet some of you fools never thought you would see the day where Stalker would claim a title in Empire Pro.

(He lifts up the belt and cheers it with his whiskey glass.)

Stalker: Congratulations Steven Shane. I'm glad you actually proved more useful then I was expecting.

On that note however, let's move on to what's coming up at Aggression 58. The King of the Cage tag team Finals. Where we will face Cruise and Astros. Heh, it will be quite interesting to see how well they prepare themselves for what they are about to get involved with.

I have faced both of these idiots in the past before. I can't say i've claimed victory, but we aren't new to each other. In regards to Impulse's disadvantage he had by not knowing what he was getting into, these two don't have that. So Steven, you'll need to step up your game this time around.

You know damn well i'll have my game in full swing and once that door gets closed, they'll be in Stalker's World.

(Jason takes another long sip from his whiskey glass and stares into the camera.)

Stalker: Now I think it's time I discuss a bit of an issue that some female has with me. Caitlyn, our past is very very troubling and I can see that our future in this company may have the same troubling path. I am telling you now, get out of my way. You may be sad that your husband's career.... err.. ex-husband's career was ruined by my hands, but I gotta tell you, GET OVER IT.

Anarky. Boy you sure do need a lot of help to get the upper hand don't you? I mean you refuse to come out when I call you down to the ring and then you jump me from behind? While i'm being distracted? That's a ***** move in my book. I knew there was a reason I didn't like your ass from day one. You don't deserve to even be called champion. Until you prove otherwise I would suggest you sit down shut your face and wait for me to come and claim what's mine.

Back to Astros and Cruise. To be honest I really don't believe I need to explain myself any farther then I did for The Heirs of Wrestling last week. If that's needed, then please let me know. I will be glad to offer you two numb nuts a history lesson. You're a roadblock, nothing more, nothing less. I wanted in this tournament to cause chaos and destruction. Winning the tag titles was a simple by product of that.

So here we are in the finals, facing the best of the other bracket. Turns out it's just another pair of mismatched punks thinking their **** doesn't stink. Similar to Erik Black and Impulse, but I don't think Astros or Cruise will ***** out quite like Black did. Well.. maybe Cameron will but I doubt Astros will. That will more then likely be their downfall. Astros thinking he can pull this one out.

I hate saying it but it must be done. You two will not walk out of that ring as Tag Team Champions. It's the truth. Pure and simple. My rampage is not over and now i'm ready to lay out the wrath just a bit more. It's better for you two to just walk away now and have some respect. If not... well.. I think by now both of you know what you are in for.

Let the games begin.

"Wow...if it wasn't for the fact that I've been there before, I'd almost say it's "Deja Vu"."

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in front of an Empire Pro Aggression backdrop, with the company name in block lettering and the show name in cursive. Dressed in blue jeans and a black T-shirt. Cruise slowly paces back and forth in front of the backdrop, his matching Anarchy-style shades flashing across the lenses as he turns.)

CRUISE: At the end of May it'll have been SEVEN YEARS...since I first won the Empire Pro Tag Team titles, the first time I'd won a Tag Team Championship with someone I'd not necessarily even WANTED to team in the beginning with.

But believe it or not...it turned out to be one of the signature moves that would help make my CAREER.

Granted that moment was at a different event and this is at Aggression, baby, LIVE!!!

Not only that, but instead of Joey Melton, this time I've got a man who's in his PRIME....Empire Pro TV CHAMPION...as my partner.

In this day and age with technology and software changing from week to week, month to month...in this particular model, See-See-Pee Version Two-Point-Oh, while Donovan doesn't have nearly the same amount of accollades...but rest assured, the makeup for it and the drama it ensued...hell, it's a more than welcome UPGRADE.

But this week...."KING OF THE CAGE FINALS"....well now this is a whole different matter altogether.

Seven years ago it was against "Blitz" and Golem and X-ecutioner....(Cruise sighs)...I couldn't make this up people...and I along with Joey Melton, became Tag Team Champions.

Fast-Forward to Two-Thousand-Eleven.

Stalker and Steven Shane.

Believe me, I'll get to Stalker in a minute...but first off...Allow me to take a minute.

Hello Steven Shane, while I'm sure you might think that this is an honor for me to finally meet you again, please pardon me while I wait for you to blow it up your @ss.

(Cruise smiles.)

Now you must be thinking to yourself..."Why the attitude?? That's just downright RUDE???"

I'll tell you, why, Shane.

Years ago, after Melton and I had taken this company by storm...and you had been over running things in A1E with Ken Cloverleaf, people had made lists, lists of Dream match-ups, you know what I mean.

And on one of those lists were a match that was CLEARLY a "Match of the Year Candidate" with Tag Team titles BOTH on the line:

"Simply Perfect Versus The Cameron Cruise Project".

But that never happened.

That COULDN'T happen.

Why??

Because you had up and DISAPPEARED.

Not even a "Thanks, not interested" note either.

Now, while Joey's always been a man about knowing where to find a "Big Fish"...I knew what implications that had meant for myself and Empire Pro, financially.

But once again...you weren't interested.

That was bad for business, Shane, very bad.

Not just for myself and Melton, not just for Empire Pro, but for the FANS.

You gotta give 'em what they want Shane...and you weren't interested.

But now??

Now you're back, and you're tagging up with STALKER of all people, and you're the Empire Pro Tag Team Champions....not exactly an upgrade on your part, but hey...who am I to judge??

Oh yeah...a Two-time former Empire Pro Tag Team Champion...but I'm sure that doesn't mean much to you, right??

But it does to me, Shane, it does to me.

Why??

Because not only will I be able to at least fix partially what was broken years ago by pinning you, but winning the Tag Team Championship titles in Miami will make me a THREE-TIME Empire Pro Champion, the most Championships won in EPW HISTORY.

That...and not to mention it'll make Astros a DOUBLE CHAMPION, history in his own right as well, and you're a smart man Shane, I hope you understand what this means.

Myself and Astros are pulling out all the stops.

Now then....Jason "Stalker" Reeves.

I suppose I SHOULD congratulate you, winning the Empire Pro Tag Team titles is no easy task.

Even if it was in a Three-way match against Impulse, Erik Black and the Heirs of Wrestling...something tells me to think back to what I'd said when you and I first faced off, afew years ago....

(Cruise stops a moment and scratches the back of his head. Having a "Eureka" moment, Cruise snaps his fingers.)

Oh yeah!!! It was FUCK YOU.

Seriously Jason, have you not grown up YET??

"Stalker's World"??

How old are you??

We've faced each other almost half-a-dozen times, you and I, and every time we do...you swear to God HIMSELF...

That I've entered "Stalker's World".

Yet, you call US idiots.....Roadblocks even??

Who's hand was raised, EACH and EVERY time, Jason??

(Cruise raises his right hand.)

You'll have to pardon me while I don't shake in my boots.

I'll say it again, Jason.

Astros and I are going to come out swinging, and believe me...regardless of what you have going on with Anarky, everything else that you've got planned for this week in Miami...

The odds are in OUR favor to win, not yours.

And that is a REALITY CHECK Jason...Stalker...that you and Steven Shane too...just...won't like.

"Well, I guess you could consider, three, to be almost half a dozen."

"But wouldn't it have been simpler, to just say three?"

(We fade into a close up of Jason Reeves standing in front of the same Empire Pro back drop that Cameron Cruise stood in front of.)

Stalker: You see Heirs of Wrestling, this is how promos are done.

Yes, this is how they are done.

Now it didn't take long for Cameron Cruise to get himself into a hissy fit over what was said and what has happened in the past. Yes Cameron we have faced each other, yes you have pinned me for a win. Hell we even faced one another in tag team matches. But let me ask you something, do you truly believe that as of this moment I am the same person? Look at me really close, look into my eyes and tell me that right here, right now, this is the same person you faced back then.

(The camera zooms out slightly, Stalker stares into it. Saying nothing he just breathes normally as time passes by.)

Stalker: I hope to have an answer on that one in your next promo. However, if you are as much an idiot as you make yourself out to be it will probably be the wrong response.

Also, I would like to know just HOW great of relationship do you honestly think you are going to have with Astros when it seems that you have a lot of anger built up inside of you? If anything, it would look so much better for you and I to be facing Astros and Shane. Wouldn't it? You have to admit that yourself.

But that's not how things turned out is it? I mean I know damn well you weren't thinking that you would be facing my team with us holding those titles, did you?

Steven Shane pulled the victory out of his ass in that ring, and I was quite surprised. Am I pissed off that he didn't get out when he should have? Yes. As long as he does not get in my way and does not make us lose the titles then we'll be golden.

Oh and he obviously doesn't need to meddle in my business. I don't think that should be a problem but, you know, it's good to get that warning out there.

As for Donovan Astros, well I can tell you this much, if his TV title were on the line, I'd be walking out with double titles. Hell if that were the case I wouldn't even let Shane near pinning him.

It's a shame though, cause I know that will never happen. He's too much of a punk to put something like that on the line.

Can I say that you two had the easier route to these finals? I think I can, but again, one man's opinion and you know what they say about opinions. They are like a$$holes, everyone has one, just not one that's been as gaped as Cruise's.

Yes I said it. I mean god damn, now that I think back on your time in Anthology. With that loser ***** Barry Clark. To me, he just gave off that impression you know? Claiming to be the biggest player there was, even calling himself Big Daddy. I wonder how many times you called him that behind closed doors. HAhahahhahahha.

Wow what a rant!

You see you aren't the only one who can do that Cruise. As many times as I have told you about Stalker's World, you've told me you were going to given me a Reality Check. Well, Stalker's World still exists, my reality hasn't been checked. So let's cut the **** okay?

Stepping into the cage with me, is no joke, you are getting in over your head. The words you are throwing around are going to make this beating you receive much more severe. To top that off, you are putting your partner in the kind of **** that ruins the best of friendships. How do you think he's going to feel when he realizes that you've just pissed off the Black Plague of EPW and that his career may... be... next.

Everything that i've done, you know all of it. I would tread carefully on where you move from here. Remember you are putting more then just yourself in danger.

Thank you, for starting........ the games.

(Fade.)

"You'll have to excuse me for a second, as I'm not really that strong of a chef in the kitchen. Normally I either have food professionally made for me but for the purposes of this short instruction, I'll keep it short and simple."

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in front of a kitchen counter, a counter much similar to ones used by Guy Fieri. Dressed in blue jeans and a blue T-shirt, Cruise brings up on the counter a skillet and a single egg. With the stove set up and warm, Cruise holds up the egg.)

CRUISE: This....is Jason "Stalker" Reeves, fragile Egghead-Extraordinaire. This...

(Cruise cracks the egg into the skillet as it starts to cook.)

...is Jason "Stalker" Reeves brain on drugs.

Now, before people start bringing up comparisons towards Boogie Smallz and Erik Black...allow me to proceed by stating that I WON'T be taking any questions.

(Cruise moves the skillet over and turns off the stove, wiping his hands and stepping around the counter.)

Now that I've gotten through that...you'll have to excuse myself in that I've been known to make a minor mistake in memory perception from time to time; I said prior to today that I've come out victorious half-a-dozen times when apparently it's been HALF that amount I thought originally.

How is it that this point is necessary?? Does it honestly even matter??

To one man, apparently it does.

Therefore...I APOLOGIZE, Jason.

Perhaps it was that I've beaten and refuted you so exceptionally well...that I may have embellished abit, I'm only human, but I thought pretty much that my point was made well enough to understand that no matter what you say....

It doesn't matter enough to me.

(Cruise holds up to fingers to signify to the camera to close up on them.)

All this time, everything that you've done since the last time I beat you...you're STILL the same guy.

Still talking about how REVERED you are, how important you are in the actions that occur in EPW, still protesting how prolific you are at intimidating people with them entering "Stalker's World".

Really??

I mean, Prince hasn't exactly impressed anyone either, Jason.

Sure, he's still "making music" and even supporting the fact that he's a card-carrying member of the Jehovahs' Witness religion.

But much like you...he doesn't understand at times that even though its 3 am in Minnesota, in the middle of inclement weather...he can't have a camel.

It's just not doable.

The fact is that if you HAVE changed...you would've been able to win a title by now REGARDLESS of whether or not you wanted to.

Me??

I don't care if you think I'm an idiot.

That's your jealous opinion and you're welcome to it.

But unlike you, I've stepped up CONSIDERABLY, and it SHOWS.

Winning the Empire Pro Intercontinental title...sure, losing it in such fashion that I did isn't exactly flattering, but nonetheless...that hasn't stopped me from pressing forward.

But for the record...if you and I were to team together against Astros and Shane, I'd probably jump the railing and sit-back and watch the show with the rest of the fans and leave you to the beating that Shane and Donovan would give you.

Why??

Because I could for one, and two...because I don't like you.

But I'll say this....I didn't expect you and Shane to win these titles, even with the skills that he has in the ring.

Honestly...I thought Impulse and Erik would pull it out, myself....it was just a hunch, but my own prediction regardless.

But you're right...that's not how things turned out.

Such is life in Empire Pro Wrestling though, Jason, "Anything can happen."

And it did, most notably with you winning your first championship title, the EPW Tag Team Championships.

Again, take it for what it was...I congratulated you.

I'll do it again....congratulations...on being an idiot.

This is the TAG TEAM version of the King of the Cage, which means that his title isn't on the line.

If you'd taken your head out of your ass long enough to notice, you'd know that by now by virtue of my not holding up the Intercontinental Champion for a THIRD-TIME.

After all...by your logic, that's what would happen right??

I pinned Michael Bastard...so I SHOULD have the Intercontinental title right now.

But alas...I don't, and in the meantime, as his reward...he gets a title shot against the World Heavyweight Champion.

But that's an issue for another day, Jason.

Right now, my focus is only on one match right now.

My focus is only on one goal, and that's to win the Empire Pro Tag Team Championships and assist in making Donovan's life grander, if that's possible.

By the way Jason...who the hell is Barry friggin' Clark??

The only thing impressive right about you right now Jason, is that you managed to scratch and scrape your way towards doing something not even YOU expected to do. Again, by your logic you're only here to cause destruction and chaos and mayhem...

But look what happened, Jason??

You surprised even yourself.

But I'm not scared of you Jason, and I never have been.

And going into the cage isn't exactly my first time at the Prom either...but when it's all said and done...you WILL be looking at Donovan Astros and Cameron Cruise as the Empire Pro Tag Team Champions as well as...KINGS of the Cage.

Now that...is a REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.

We fade in to James Murphy standing in front of – you guessed it – an EPW backdrop. However, this backdrop looks much better than the last ones pictured. This is more than likely due to the fact that none other than “Sensational” Steven Shane is standing beside him.

However, upon further review, we notice that Steven Shane is doing step-ups on a box beside of James. Shane has a Nintendo DS in both hands. His attention to the game is leaving nothing for James, who is begging Shane to even look at him.


James: Steven Shane, thank you so much for your time here.

Shane: Any time, Jamal.

James: It’s James.

Shane: Jamal James? Parents liked alliteration, huh?

James: No, my name is James, not Jamal.

Shane: Since when?

James: Since always.

Shane: Gonna have to disagree with you on that one.

James: Very well then… Shane, if I may… What exactly are you doing?

Shane: Stepping my game up.

James: I’m sorry?

Shane: Stalker… He told me to step my game up.

James: So you’re playing a video game…

Shane: And stepping up.

James: Incredible.

Shane: I think that’s another wrestler.

James: What?

Shane: Nevermind. You wouldn’t know him.

James: Good idea. So have you had a chance to listen to what Stalker or Cameron Cruise have had to say regarding your match this week?

Shane: I’m doing the step-ups, aren’t I?

James: I would say touche’, but the situation just seems too odd for that.

Shane: Quit staring at my ass and it wouldn’t be so odd.

James: That’s not what I was referring to.

Shane: I’d still prefer if you stop.

James: Anyway, do you have any strategy to this match other than step-ups or video gaming?

Shane: Same thing that won me the tag team titles last week.

James: And that would be?

Shane: Sit back and let Stalker do everything. Why do we do these interviews if you don’t listen?

James: I do listen. But that certainly didn’t seem like your strategy last week. In fact, you scored the winning fall.

Shane: OH! So you saw the match too? Wow! You must’ve been hiding under the ring somewhere because apparently YOU had a better view of the match than Stalker did from outside the cage!

James: What do you mean?

Shane: I win the freakin’ match with the guy watching helplessly outside the cage and he’s crowned as the second coming of Jesus.

James: Many would say that Stalker has his first Empire Pro gold thanks to you.

Shane: If by many you mean everyone BUT Stalker that watched the pinfall last week, then yes I would agree with you.

James: Shane, no offense, but after hearing what Stalker has had to say and what you’re saying now, how do you plan on keeping the Tag Team Titles beyond one defense?

Shane: Possibly because I’m still participating in the match?!?! You know, there is such thing as a winning formula.

James: Very well then, Shane. What about your thoughts on Cameron Cruise?

Shane: Guy sounds angry.

James: He certainly does. He seems to have a few thoughts on you as well.

Shane: Clearly. He might be looking at my ass more than you.

James: I wasn’t looking!

Shane: Anymore.

James: Shane, in all seriousness, I think that Cruise is just disappointed because we all missed out on what would have been a great matchup between two great tag teams.

Shane: I think he’s mad because I didn’t put him in his own freaky standing headscissors modification.

James: I think that’s too far, Shane.

Shane: Don’t tell me. Tell him. Man-crush has been taken too far.

James: Okay… What about Cruise’s comments on your win last week?

Shane: Guy must’ve been sitting behind Stalker. Everyone says the guy has a cranium the size of Barry Bonds.

James: Because he congratulated Stalker on the win and not you?

Shane: Is that wrong? I don’t want to be an attention whore.

James: I think it’s viable.

Shane: Maybe it’s my fault. I should’ve been the hero and watched the match from outside the cage.

James: That seems to be the theme.

Shane: Either that or “get Cruise a tissue”.

Shane fakes tears and then slightly impersonates Cruise.

Shane: IT STILL MATTERS TO ME, DAMMIT!!!

James: Okay, Shane. So how would it make you feel to successfully defend your Tag Team Titles against Cruise and Astros this week?

Shane: I think it would be SENSATIONALLY perfect, Jamal.

James: That’s what I was looking for.

Shane: Well, you kinda set me up. You weren’t gonna give up until I said it.

James: It really was a travesty.

Shane: Yeah, but he’s an idiot.

James: Clearly.

Shane: Hey! Nobody wants your opinion! You’re supposed to interview me!

James: Right! Sorry… What are your thoughts on Donovan Astros?

Shane: Never heard of the guy.

James: So you have nothing to say?

Shane: Neither does he. Maybe Cruise should have what he’s having.

James: Excellent point, Shane. Thank you for your time.

Shane: Thank you for giving the people what they want.

James: An interview with you?

Shane: Anything to keep Cruise off TV.

James: Right... Back to the guys at the EPW desk.

Shane: You do realize you don’t work for them, right?

James: WHAT? I thought the check was lost in the mail!

Shane: Dude, your microphone cord doesn’t even reach the floor.

James looks down, sees the cord and huffs as he walks off depressed.

(Jason Reeves, taking a long drink from his glass of whiskey is staring into the mirror of his dirty motel room. Cameron Cruise's latest promo is paused in the background.)

Stalker: Anyways... Let's get to business. You compare me to Prince, that's nice. Let me compare you to James Hetfield, he was amazing back in the day. But now he's singing songs on Country Music Television.

So much like you, amazing when you first came around, dried up and tired right now. Unlike you my career doesn't include multiple title reigns, countless victories blah blah blah. My career consists of bloody ring mats, broken bones, hurt feelings and remorse.

Remorse for careers. Remorse for lost relationships. Remorse for not realizing just how badly they had made a mistake once they decided to cross that line. You know the list of EPW wrestlers who have crossed that line really isn't THAT long. As you have heard in the past I give lots of warnings about the boundaries they are facing.

Let's just say you are very close to your last warning. IN FACT. Let's make it this one. This my friend is your last warning. You step across that line now and things will never be the same for you again.

That's the truth, Cameron, I'm pretty sure you know just how I mean it too. Do you honestly consider yourself better then the others that have been destroyed by me? Better then the Sean Stevens, Rocko Daymons, Fusenshoffs of the world? Do you feel you are a step above them? If so then why?

You see to me, you are nothing more then just one of those guys. Guys that want SO BAD to break that glass ceiling but they simply can't.

Anything that you, from this point forward, claim to me, will be nothing more then just an attempt to prove me wrong. Instead of trying to prove me wrong, why don't you impress us? Why don't you do something more then to simply be 'The Crippler Cameron Cruise'. Kidnap a child, run someone over with a car, choke a female out!

Hell choke Caitlyn out! She deserves it.

Be special, WOW me Cameron and then I'll be impressed. Until then though, you are nothing more then just a punk, a wanna be, someone who is looking to stand out but simply can't.

That my friend is the true reality check. Sorry it had to come from me.

"Let me get this straight, Jason. I out and compared you to Prince, whom...before he put himself out in "Prince World"....had the women swooning with 'Purple Rain' and 'Rasberry Beret'...and you compare me to...JAMES HETFIELD?!?!?!!"

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in front of an EPW Aggression backdrop, dressed in blue jeans and a black t-shirt with "EPW" emblazoned across the chest.)

Please...stop the match...it's over, I can't get over THAT one.

You compared me to a man that not only probably helped sell out TWICE as much Prince, but had the Rock 'N' Roll lifestyle that every young rocker and 80's non-glam-rock follower wished they could have as a high school kid.

Booze.

Broads.

Playing music that arguably could be defined as the "Godfather of Metal".

Hell, I had back then-and-still-do-today a copy of "Master of Puppets"....not just because it was the hottest selling Rock Album since "Kill 'Em All", but because he was one of the idols I had back then.

And you're bitter because he's playing music on COUNTRY MUSIC TELEVISION??

Poor Jason....you're about as lost as a new-born puppy.

The fact is that I'm GLAD that I've had a career like mine, like you said...title-reigns, noted victories, all this stuff is awesome.

But I'm not done here, not by a long-shot.

You can be spiteful of the fact that I've had victories over men like Dan Ryan, Beast, Joey Melton and Christian Sands, it doesn't make any kind of a difference to me.

And you can do it while your career "consists of bloody ring mats, broken bones, hurt feelings and remorse."

Playing the "Sad Panda" card about relationships and careers...it's like you yourself idolized Jonathan Davis from "Korn".

Sure, "Life is Peachy" was a fantastic album, he had another album or two that was great too.

But unfortunately Jason, unlike James Hetfield...people got tired of Davis..."Korn" lost it's luster.

And sooner or later to the fans that trended him in the beginning it became "Jonathan Who??" or even worse...

"F*ck Jonathan Davis. F*ck Korn, they've gone P*SSY.

SOFT

Just like you, Jason.

You can have the bitter, remorseful, bloody ring mats that is your career.

Because before you know it you'll be outta here faster than Scott Stapp after a bender.

See...people like me here, I'm a swell guy.

Championships, both singles and Tag-team.

Co-founder of one of the most successful groups this side of the circuit, in Anthology. Sure, my way out of it wasn't exactly flattering but that's beside the point.

Look at the big picture, Jason.

I was the FIRST to claim gold as a member of Anthology.

Tag Team Gold came to Anthology because of me and also LEFT...because of me.

That's right, numbskull.

The big "Title-reign" that the Heirs of Wrestling had started and ended....was because of ME.

And it's quite honestly too logical to ignore...EPW Tag Team Wrestling has come full-circle.

It's time that Cameron Cruise show the world what REAL tag team wrestling is like.

Because that's what I am, first and foremost Jason.

If you're REALLY a STALKER...you'd know that.

But don't call me "your friend", Reeves, because I already told you; I don't like you. I'm not scared of you, and I never have been.

People might not remember you Jason, other than afew stints you had with Rocko and Trips...you're what's called an ANOMALY.

But people will REMEMBER Cameron Cruise.

Do I really think I'm better than Fuse, Trips, and Rocko??

That's a debatable question, Jason. Fusenshoff won the Television title...the very same title Donovan holds around his waist...and I haven't.

Rocko and Sean have become the World Heavyweight Champion...Stevens on two different occaisions.

I haven't.

But yet, I've beaten you three times out of three encounters.

And I'm still standing here saying **** YOU.

THAT is the truth, Jason... I'm pretty sure you know I mean it too.

Because you see outside of the World Heavyweight Championship...I've ALREADY broken "the glass ceiling" as you call it, in this company.

And I'm ready to do it again, as a history-making Three-Time Tag Team Champion AND parter to the Empire Pro Television Champion, Donovan Astros.

I don't have to kidnap a child or hit someone with a car or choke out women.

That's YOUR avenue you to live on, Jason.

I do the one thing I know how to do best and that's WRESTLE.

And I'm fine with that. Because until the day I die, I'm okay with being "just a punk, a wanna be, someone who is looking to stand out but simply can't."

Because to everyone else BUT YOU...I'll be the best.

I'll be a Three-Time Tag Team Champion.

I'll be one of the 2011 Kings of the Cage.

That's something I can live with, hell, that's something I can go to SLEEP with.

That...and knowing that I'll STILL be on Steven Shane's television...which is needless to say...a REALITY CHECK that you both just...won't like.

"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaa BOY! Looks like I hit a big nerve on that last promo."

(Jason Reeves standing in front of another paused television, in his dirty motel room. Cameron Cruise's latest promo is on the screen.)

Stalker: Is he your idol, Cameron? Did me calling James Hetfield a loser, hurt your feelings? Does it hurt your feelings to know that just about every person born after 1990 doesn't know who he is?

You honestly have the nerve to tell me people would know who he is.... still? What the hell has he done lately? Oh and I also love how you pick out Johnathon Davis, because I have a Korn song for my entrance music.

Do I really care what YOU think about music? Really? What the **** is that you god damn tool bag.

It's like you see a promo I put out, pull out a notepad and pause it like every 30 seconds so you can write down a comeback on what I just said. Does it make you feel good to be good at comebacks? To rip comedic lines from other people and use them against me?

You aren't the only fan of Silent Bob on the universe.

Fact remains though that all of your victories, all of your title reigns, hell ALL of your victories against me don't mean ****.

Nothing.

What are you going to do in that cage if I decide to throw in say three or four steel chairs? Slide in about four tables through the door before we even start the match? WHAT will you DO when you see weapons laid about before you, knowing that you have to FACE ME.

Everyone that's faced me has come back out as a different person, EVERYONE. Even you, you jackass. You can claim that you don't see the change yourself but i'm sure your former fans do. '

Keep pretending that you have fans, it's cute. Someone like you doesn't have fans. You are just another hell bent savage and with every promo you put out you are starting to look more and more like me.

Who do you hate? Who wronged you so much that you are now like this? I don't remember this Cameron Cruise from before, you are... different.

When did the change happen?

Is it something small and simple? Something I could pass along to Steven Shane? To make him more.... like you.

You keep saying how much you don't like me and how much you despise me. Haters are just confused admirers. Is that what you are Cruise? Or maybe you are auditioning yourself for me? Do you want to join me on my crusade?

Is all of this a charade? Are you going to turn on Astros at the end of the match to prove you are worthy of following me in my crusades?

Do you want to be 'Fallen'?

These are serious questions you need to ask yourself. Take a long hard look in the mirror and think about it. This may be your last chance.

I will be here awaiting your decision.

In.... my world.

"Seriously, Jason. Were you born mentally challenged or is this something that just transgressed over time??"

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise back in front of the same backdrop.)

CRUISE: James Hetfield is an ICON in the music industry, Jason, not just because EM-TEE-VEE proclaimed it afew years ago, but because he's one of the better...BEST musicians in this industry.

He lived a lifestyle that I had dreams of aspiring to, at least from a musician's perspective anyway; I played guitar in High School. I learned what chords to play when I first heard "Battery", I practiced playing "...And Justice For All" a hundred times.

Bet you didn't know that one...and you call yourself a "Stalker".

(Cruise smirks)

No it didn't hurt my feelings, Jason.

Hell, aside the one bender that had him turn himself into Rehabilitation and Recovery...I almost consider being compared to him an HONOR.

Sure, some of the newer albums didn't sell as well, but at least he's been humbled in a way that I can RESPECT.

Prince went from 'Rasberry Beret" and 'Purple Rain' to making records that no one will ever hear and becoming a self-proclaimed representative for selling "Watch Towers".

Ever think you'd have someone with patch-work clothes that sang "Darling Nikki" come up on your doorstep on a Saturday morning trying to convince you about turning towards being a "Jay-Dubya"??

It's shuddering, almost creepy to ponder, which is why I made the comparison.

What has James done lately besides play Country music??

How about European tours with the rest of the band?? How about prepare for a concert this month with Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax??

Not to mention perform the mandatory duties of being a Family man....James Hetfield is enjoying LIFE.

Unlike YOU.

See...I don't care about your remorseless attitude, the comparisons of Prince and Hetfield weren't the entire point.

I could give a damn if you like Jonathan Davis.

Fact is that my picking and comparing Davis is completely RANDOM than what you'd like to believe.

Just like my reference towards KEVIN SMITH.

Silent Bob is fictional character, not once did I mention anything about some girl named "Amy" or practice a "Jedi-Mind Trick"....never once did I play up on how "the black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of comics and sci-fi fantasy...."

But Donovan and I ARE gonna "be keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary."

Which means what you said is WRONG.

The fact IS that all of my victories, all of your title reigns, DOES mean ****; it means EVERYTHING to me because it show without a shadow of a doubt, despite what you say, I DO know a little something about Wrestling let alone competing in matches in Empire Pro.

Hell, I could Tag with a RUBBER DUCK and do a better job than you could, but the fact is that I'd rather take stock in knowing that the Empire Pro Television Champion chose to be MY partner, instead of Shawn Hart.

I told you before...you don't phase me, Jason.

I don't like you, but I don't hate you either.

Hating someone means that they had to have some effect on you, and quite frankly...I don't see the difference in my telling you now than from the first time the same thing in the beginning:

**** you.

What you say and do have no effect on what I do in this business.

Three times I've beaten you with the mindset of doing just that, not because I want to be like you, hell, that's almost LAUGHABLE.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

I'm a wrestler, Jason, it's what I do and do BEST.

I can do more than swing a chair or throw men off stages or through tables, though while you see it as your main objective...that's not for me.

My intent is to be the better man, either by virtue of a pin or submission.

I don't NEED to be like you.

All the Championships I've won in EPW, hell, everything I've accomplished in my CAREER...has been because of the decisions I make.

And right now...I choose to make the best of the situation with Donovan and become Empire Pro Tag Team Champion again.

Whether or not it's in the Real World or YOURS....doing just that will be a REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.

We open up to a dimly lit, dirty, EPW backdrop. We see Steven Shane standing with James Murphy. Take it away, Jamal.

James: Folks, I’m standing here again with one half of the Empire Pro World Tag Team Champions, Steven Shane. Shane, thank you for taking the time to talk to us.

Shane does not respond.

James: Shane! Are you listening?

Shane seems to start slightly dancing. He gives a quarter turn, allowing us to see earbuds in his ears!

James: SHANE! Can I have a minute?

Shane notices that James is yelling at him and stops dancing. He then pulls the earbuds out of his ears and speaks.

Shane: Oh! Hey, Jamal! What’s up, man?

James: Steven Shane, I thought you knew we had an interview.

Shane: I thought you were just trying to get another shot of my ass.

James: And you didn’t say anything?

Shane: Some struggles are not worth the effort.

James: Whatever. Shane, what exactly are you listening to on your iPod that was preventing you from interacting in this interview?

Shane: It’s a new remix I just found. It’s by Prince, James Hetfield, and that guy from Korn.

James: Hmm… I never heard of that. What’s the title?

Shane: “I Thought We Were Wrestling”

James: Very interesting title.

Shane: Not to Stalker and Cameron Cruise. Next thing you know, they’re going to be debating what was the first video on MTV.

James: “Video Killed the Radio Star”

Shane: Wow. Someone is well-versed in pointless trivia. Why don’t you go interview Cruise or Stalker?

James: I would, but EPW won’t pay me for it.

Shane: Are they paying you for this?

James: No.

Shane: Then- Nevermind. I don’t want to know.

James: So, I would say that you’re not impressed with what your fellow competitors have had to say thus far this week.

Shane: I’d be impressed if they were talking about something that anyone gave a crap about.

James: Anything that caught your ear at all?

Shane: When Cruise took five minutes of my life to the exact same thing that he already said earlier this week and mixed in another James Hetfield reference.

James: So you liked it?

Shane: True magic.

James: I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic.

Shane: Then I’ve done my job.

James: What about the fact that Cruise has almost completely shut you out since we last heard from you.

Shane: Not a surprise. He has a hard time distinguishing between what it actually takes to defeat Steven Shane and what Prince song he’s left of his list.

James: Again, with a comment on the Prince thing.

Shane: I just don’t see the point.

James: Because it doesn’t pertain to wrestling?

Shane: Because Prince doesn’t pertain to anything anymore.

James: Excellent point. What about the absence of Donovan Astros?

Shane: Absence? I thought Cruise was doing the talking for him?

James: Is that how it appears?

Shane: It appears as though Cruise is doing the talking for the entire roster, but that’s beside the point.

James: Be that as it may, we have actually had no sight of Donovan Astros.

Shane: And I don’t blame. If Cruise was my tag team partner, I’d probably sit at home too.

James: It just doesn’t seem like something that the Empire Pro Television Champion would do.

Shane: Neither does Cruise going out in men’s clothing, but he fakes it every time he shows up on my TV.

James: Do you think so?

Shane: No. I know so. That dude is a cross-dresser. I’ve seen it off-camera.

James: That’s not what I meant.

Shane: OH! In that case… yes. They really are men’s clothing. He just makes them look girly.

James: Okay. We’re getting off track here.

Shane: You brought it up.

James: Actually, I was talking about the Donovan Astros. YOU were talking about Cameron Cruise being a cross-dresser.

Shane: And who’s bringing it back up now?

James: Ugh… So you have no worries about Donovan Astros not showing up yet?

Shane: Absolutely not. It’s hard to show up for a match when you know you’re going to lose.

James: Then how do you explain the overexposure of Cameron Cruise this week?

Shane: No one ever said he was the sharpest knife in the drawer. He’d rather go down talking than to not talk at all.

James: I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with you more.

Shane: Why do I feel like you’re just saying that to get a look at my ass?

James: For the last time!

Shane: Hey! You don’t have to explain yourself to me.

James: Steven Shane… Thank you for your time.

Shane: Thank you for keeping me away from seeing the two latest Cameron Cruise spots on EPW Television. Unfortunately, I’m sure I’ll be back in time for another…

"You know...there's something completely DUH about Steven Shane."

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in front of the same EPW backdrop, dressed in black jeans and a white T-shirt with the EPW logo across the chest in black.)

CRUISE: While he seems to be inherent upon my responding to what's driven in as a point with a counter-point, the thing you have to keep in mind is that Steven Shane is still Steven Shane and will forever remain...STEVEN SHANE. He carries the moniker of being "Sensational", but other than the last two contests...which on paper could look significantly better than the matches I've been in...facing off against a World Champion as one of the opponents; going against Impulse and Black AND against the TAG TEAM Champions in a Triple Threat match...these are prime choice matches to watch on Empire Pro Television.

I'd imagine the thought of the result of ratings would make even Dan Ryan giggle....that is if he ever does.

But the fact is Steven Shane walks around here like he's better than everybody, and to an extent...he may be right.

However there's still the exception that he's still got two more men to compete with in the King of the Cage before he can really decide for himself...aaaaaannd maybe Jason Reeves too...if he's truly given proof to the moniker he so very much retains.

Myself, and Donovan Astros.

What I would like to know...is just exactly what have you done around here that still makes you RELEVANT??

I've been competing here in EPW for the better part of ten years, if the fact that I've got more time sitting on the toilet than you actually have in the ring makes you ill, then get used to it.

You might be the one half of the Empire Pro Tag Team Champions, but the factored anomaly remains that I've excelled better at what I do than you could even DREAM.

Nevermind that you've been absent from television for literally YEARS; you've had every opportunity just like the next guy to come back and pick up where you left off.

But until recently, you never made such attempt.

Maybe it's because you were afraid that you couldn't compete at the same level that you have before, time away from the ring does that....**** happens.

Or perhaps it's because things outside the ring literally kept you from lacing up the boots...and believe me, after pulling Jared Wells out from obscurity, I've seen what time away from the ring does to a man.

But the fact is that you haven't the slightest clue what wrestling is.

Sure, this week I might've taken alittle more time than I wanted to in explaining simple things to Jason that even Akita, Hans, and Wong-Pei could understand without much trouble, but you fail to realize one thing.

This is Jason (Finger quotes) "Stalker" Reeves we're talking about; sometimes you gotta use a sledgehammer to get nail in a point, and if that means I've ignored you or spent less time on you than I have Jason...I'm apologize.

Nevermind the fact that you've not said anything remotely special for me to take notice upon, but you need to realize...

Jason is "Special".

Not just because he retains the extraordinary ability to become an ill-advised-baseball-player-in-another-sport, I've said it before; any man or woman can swing a chair.

But the fact is that he just doesn't grasp simple points like I do or you COULD.

Don't worry about the fact that Dononvan hasn't spoken a word this week, as I've said plenty of times before...he's the EPW TV Champion.

He knows his way around the ring and as far as I'm concerned, so long as he shows up and takes care of his end of the deal, I don't care if I end up having to do commencement speeches for Colleges and Universities across the country, I'll continue to keep making tools like Jason look exactly the part.

Two matches thus far has done more than prove it.

But you go ahead and lie to yourself, Shane, about sitting at home instead of tagging with me.

I've only become one of the best tag team competitors this side of the business has ever seen, tagging with Joey Melton and now Donovan Astros, these men were-and-ARE proven CHAMPIONS.

Joey's more self-explanitory...he's a legend.

Donovan himself even won a Lethal Lottery tournament afew years ago so this isn't exactly his first Rodeo.

But as far as I'm concerned Shane, stay at home ANYWAY.

It's not like Empire Pro has missed you thus far AS IT IS.

As far as I'm concerned...I'm probably the first to admit it...I've made mistakes....I'm not perfect, not "Sensationally" or on a regular basis; I'm not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But having won TWO Intercontinental and TWO Tag Team Championships proves I can still CUT.

And believe it or not, Shane, in the grand scheme of things...it's more than most other people can do on the Empire Pro Roster, including YOU.

(Cruise looks down at the watch on his wrist, and snaps his fingers.)

I guess that's all I've got for you today though, Shane, so I better head out...lord knows you don't get enough of EPW Television, I'd hate to keep you from watching more.

After all...that's all you've done these last few years, why break up what very well may be a stale routine??

I might not impress you or most other people on EPW Television, Shane, but regardless of whether you want to admit it, the fact is that you STILL watch.

Just like you're going to do when Donovan Astros and I win the Tag Team Titles, The 2011 Kings of the Cage, and move on to compete at Wrestleverse IV.

Why??

Because that's a REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.

We open to a shot of what looks like an empty wall. The only thing that can be seen is a couple of pictures. As we close in, we notice that the first picture is that of Alexander the Great. The camera continues to pan, showing us the pictures of Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis XIV, George Washington, and Cameron Cruise.

The camera pans out even further to show James Murphy standing with “Sensational” Steven Shane. James is holding a microphone and looks to be arguing with Shane. The camera focuses in, allowing us to hear what they’re saying.


James: I don’t get it! What is your point?

Shane: It’s ridiculously obvious! How can you not see this?

James: I can’t see why Cameron Cruise belongs alongside brilliant men of history like George Washington and Alexander the Great!

Shane: He’s the king of history! Just ask him!

James: King of history?

Shane: Yes. In fact, he probably doesn’t even belong alongside these guys.

Shane makes his way toward the wall and pulls Cruise’s picture down. He then places it at the top of the wall.

Shane: He belongs ABOVE them. He really is the king of history.

James: I am really not following you here.

Shane: Well, ol’ Cammy seems so locked in on what he’s “done” in this profession that we might not even have to have this main event that Empire Pro is promising.

James: And why is that?

Shane: Because this guy is going to win it just on his accolades.

James: He does seem very locked in on his past.

Shane: Seem?!?! It’s the only thing he’s talked about more than James Hetfield and Prince!

James: Be that as it may, Cruise has won just as many matches in this tournament as you and Stalker have.

Shane: Won?!?! The guy fell ass backwards into the last win. The only reason Cruise won last week is as quiet as Charlie Chaplin (God rest his soul on this 122nd birthday of his) this week.

James: Yet, Cruise doesn’t seem to be going down without a fight this week.

Shane: The only thing he’s fighting with is his own reality check.

James: What do you mean?

Shane: I may be hopped up on No-Doze after sitting through yet another meaningless Cameron Cruise rant, but I’m pretty sure he asked what I’ve done to be “relevant” around here.

James: He must mean other than win the Empire Pro World Tag Team Titles from a team with a year long reign in only your second match back.

Shane: Absolutely. Maybe he wants to know the last time I had a bowel movement that was supposed to double as an interview.

James: Makes you wonder how the guy even has a history to talk about.

Shane: Certainly wasn’t due to his smarts.

James: What about Cruise talking about your hiatus as a weakness?

Shane: Again, making as much sense as George Bush getting re-elected into office.

James: Are you getting political?

Shane: You’re right. Maybe he could call Prince and ask him for some pointers on making sense.

James: Now we’re going back to the music thing?

Shane: God no. You’re right. Back on track, please.

James: What about Cruise calling you out yet again for not tagging with you?

Shane: First of all, guy never asked me. Maybe because he knew he would be outshined by his partner like he was with Melton.

James: Wow. Harsh words.

Shane: Not as harsh as his man-crush on Joey Melton. That’s the only guy with a past that Cruise knows more about than his own.

James: Man-crush again?

Shane: The guy really sets himself up for it.

James: That he does. What about his confidence in his tag team partner?

Shane: Only part where I have to give the guy credit. He’s really putting all his faith on this guy that can’t be bothered?

James: It certainly seems that way. Staying on that point, what about Cameron Cruise giving you credit?

Shane: He’s not a complete idiot. He thinks I’m right to walk around like I’m better than everyone else here. I may be a little more humble than that, but as long as we’re heading into this match with Cruise thinking I’m the best around here, I have little to worry about.

James: Cruise seemed very adamant about your absence, though. Do you think he thinks that much of you?

Shane: Probably not as much as he thinks of his past. Three hours into his last segment, he’s still talking about being a champion like it just happened yesterday. I know I wouldn’t be bragging about being a champion a year and a half after I last held one.

James: Excellent point, Shane. Anything else?

Shane: If Cameron Cruise thinks that he’s going to get by in this match on his past accolades, he’s got another thing coming. I may not give a damn about what happens to Stalker outside of those ropes, but the fact of the matter remains that he has one hell of a tag team partner that refuses to let this be a one-and-done title reign. I plan on walking out of this Aggression and head into Wrestleverse to defeat the Heirs of Wrestling for these tag team titles a second time. The only way for me to do that is to get into that cage and beat the living hell out of Cameron Cruise until that history-loving son of a ***** can’t even THINK about Wrestleverse. Ill-placed four letter words and music references be damned. Once we step into that cage, I am going to show WHY I came back to EPW. WHY I came back to be a champion and cement my legacy. WHY I came back to give these fans the ride of their life. WHY I came back to show that talent-less hacks like Cameron Cruise will ride no one’s coattails while I’m still here. WHY Steven Shane is nothing less than SENSATIONAL.

Shane’s usual face of fun has clearly turned to that of severe attitude. He steps out in front of James with a ferocious intensity. James just looks into the camera in astonishment as the camera fades out.
