(FADEIN: White backdrop. That simple.)
Sands: What is this, the Dark Ages?
Jonny, I knew you were an idiot a long time ago. I knew that the first time we faced off, when I basically ran verbal, physical, and mental rings around you before taking you down with a clean pin without really trying. But come on... Chivalry, Jonny? What is this, Le Morte de Marxie?
Better be careful with that big letter opener, pal. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with sharp objects?
You want to know something?
You're right about me. I AM a vile human being. And the best part is that I DON'T REGRET BEING ONE AT ALL.
I dared lay a hand or two on Troy because I felt like it. More importantly, I dared because in EPW, I reign supreme. I do what I want, and I'm not going to let a little thing like morality stop me. But really now. If you want to know the truth, nothing I've done to Troy was intended personally. Well, not to her. I'm sure Beast was furious, though. Then again, that was sort of the idea.
But now here comes little Marxie, waving his sword around and running his mouth. "Blah blah blah, inch of your life, blah blah blah, show some respect, blah blah blah, I went to university so respect me." Of course, since this IS Marxie, nobody buys it. This is especially true when you consider he's talking about softening me up for Beast despite having lost to both Beast AND myself. I, on the other hand, have beaten Beast before, which puts me two levels above you, Marxie. At LEAST two levels.
Bring it, Marxie. Come make me an ex-champion in a non-title match. Come stretch me to within an inch of my life. Or rather, try, because when you face off against me I'll teach you a thing or two about how to stretch someone. It's been historically proven: I am the master of technique and submissions. I've wrestled the best in the world for sixty-six minutes nonstop and still walked out of the arena under my own power. And most importantly, I am the EPW World Heavyweight Champion, and therefore the BEST in this promotion by default. Go ask Beast how good I am, Marxie. He thought he could take me out, too, and I left him lying unconscious and defeated. What makes you so different, especially when you've been beaten by the man I beat?
This is your chance to prove yourself, Marxie. So come on. Grab your sword, saddle up your rocking-horse, and come on down to the joust. I'll even have the other eleven Knights of the Round Table cheering you from the wings.
I'll also have some there to pick you up when I knock you off your high horse and hurl you right back into obscurity.
Because the world has already seen that I'm better than you. This week is simply a reinforcement of that fact.
Ta-ta, Marxie.
