(FADEIN: White backdrop with CHRISTIAN SANDS sitting in front of it, the EPW World Title slung across his right shoulder)
Sands: Remind me never to be gracious again.
Last week, Beast, I tried to be gracious. I did you a FAVOR by offering you a rematch against me because I thought you did well enough to deserve another shot. And how do you thank me for being so gracious? By attacking me in the hallway? Pff. I suppose that's what I get for expressing respect for another man's athletic ability. I've got half a mind to take back the offer, because you obviously don't respect your betters. Next time you think of jumping me in the back, remember this. I beat you, Beast, and I did it decisively on a global stage. I can do it again.
If you really doubt that I'm better than you, Beast, just... look at the item currently draped across my shoulder... and look at the nameplate on it. Last I checked, it read "Christian Sands", not "Beast". Show some respect for the Champion of the World, son, or you're going to get burned.
As for YOU, Cameron Cruiser...
Your rhetoric kinda backfired on you, didn't it, Cam? I mean, here you are proclaiming that you're going to saaaaave us all from the evils of ego and self-centeredness... and you come out and get whipped up on by a self-centered egomaniac. Not just whipped up on, but fed your own finisher and forced to tap out. Poor little Cam.
At Aggression, I proved that I was right about you, Cam. You aren't main event material. You're cannon fodder. You don't have what it takes to be a man. If you don't realize that by now, you've got a few problems to sort out. Fortunately, I can help you - by beating you again, clean in the center of the ring. Perhaps losing twice to the same egomaniac will learn ya somethin' - that, to paraphrase a certain film, "Evil will always win, because good is dumb."
Interestingly enough, I'm facing a team comprised of two people I've already beaten. Fun fun fun. And as if that weren't advantageous enough for me, I've got the Intercontinental Champion Adam Benjamin on my team. I couldn't ask for a better man in my corner - well, I could, but I'd have to clone myself, and that's not really feasible, you know? Adam, you're a good man, and you haven't even begun to realize the heights you can rise to with the talent you have. When you and I put away Beast and the little Cruiser at Aggression, you'll be taking a step towards realizing your full potential.
I hope you're listening, Beast. Take a look at Adam over there, and take a look at ME especially. Two men with unfathomable wrestling ability and the drive to succeed. WE are the men worthy of respect - the men people should STRIVE to EMULATE!
At Aggression, we will beat respect into you and your Cruisin' little pal.
Consider it a taste of that rematch.
After all, you might as well get used to losing to me, seeing as it's the best you'll ever do.

[ Fade in to Beast standing in front of a chain-link fence with a black backdrop behind it. The fence is in an obvious state of disrepair, and an EPW banner hangs on it. ]
Beast: You see Sands, here lies the fundamental problem.
You don't know how to say one thing, without turning around and shooting yourself in the foot with the very next words you utter.
Leading up to Black Dawn, Sands, we both talked a pretty big game. The insults, the passion, and the heat was flying, and when it came down to crunch time, you got the big W, and the big gold belt to go with it. Despite everything that happened and was said in the week leading up to the match, the moment you were awarded the match, you earned MY respect.
You deserve to be EPW Champion.
All week long, you'd talk about how intelligent you are, and then turn around and prove just how simple minded you are with the next sentence. That's exactly what you did at Aggression, Christian.
In one moment, you ceased being the cocky and arrogant bastard that everyone's grown to hate, and you showed a civil side. You offered your respect and I gotta give you props for that. But then, not three seconds later, you erased all memory of that while you cheesed off telling yourself how hot Lindsay is. Hey, she IS a hot woman, and I don't blame any man for their primal urges, but try showing a little class for once in your life, Sands.
But no dice. That's impossible for you.
You just continnue to be the grade A assh*le you truly are, and say one thing one moment, and then you turn around...
And get GORED out of your boots.
Wake up call, Christian.
Perhaps you should take another look at those Commandments you're so proud of. I'll paraphrase one of the original ones: "Thou shalt not covet another man's girlfriend."
Nor shalt you not demean them in any way.
But you just HAD to cross the line.
But you certainly paid for it.
Next time you don't want to get gored out of your boots in the back, trying thinking about what it is you're getting yourself into when you open that rat trap of yours you call a mouth. Show some respect for the Champion of the World?
Here we go again with the whole pot/kettle/black thing.
You gotta show respect to get respect, Sands.
Hell, I woudn't be surprised if you took that offer back. You found out at Aggression that when you don't show respect, you pay for it. You found out at Black Dawn that I'm all I say I am. I gave you everything you could handle, and like I said, even though you're a big prick,, you came home with the belt. You got the job done.
However, you know deep down inside that that match could have just as easily gone the other way. I'm not making any excuses. Either one of us could have won that match, and I'll call a spade a spade - you beat me - but you know that I've got what it takes to defeat you, and that scares you. I wouldn't put it past you to pull your offer just so you wouldn't have to face me again.
That probably explains why we're buried in a tag match this week, wouldn't it? Are you hiding, Christian? You know that either one of us can beat the other on any given night, but I get it... you're not ready to take that chance on it being my night. So rather than give me that shot this week, we're stuck in a little tag match. How convenient that you get yourself protected that way. I still get to kick your ass, but you get to keep your belt.
I can live with that - for now.
I had the opportunity to talk briefly with Camerson Cruise the other day. I gotta admit, Sands, while you're blowing sunshine up Benjamin's ass and trying to decide who's holding the cracker in your little circle-jerk over there, I don't know a hell of a lot about Cameron, but he and I share a lot of the same opinions about the way things are currently going here in EPW. We both believe that it's time for a change, and we're willing to work together to make those changes happen. You want to talk about respect, Sands, Cruise got my respect, and I tried to pay that back a couple weeks ago. He and I are apparently on the same page.
You want a fight?
You're going to get one.
If you want to paraphrase that particular movie, Sands, perhaps you should be thinking of a different quote.
"There's only one man who would dare give you raspberry."
And that's the Beast.
Come Aggression, Sands and Benjamin... We're going to jam up everything you've got going for you. The Beast and the Cruise Missile are going to make the current champs look like the chumps you really are.

(Fade into “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin finishing up his daily workout; Adam takes a nice seat on a bench grabbing a bottle of water as he takes his seat next to him sits the IC title.)
Benjamin: They say Money, Power, respect are the keys to life, well I add the forth key which is success to that equation. When you look up and down the rosters of EPW, or take a walk down memory lane and look at the roster of MCW two names stand out like above all. One of those is the current EPW champion Christian Sands; the other name is Yours Truly…
(Adam looks at the IC title)
Benjamin: This week the two highlights come together to form a mighty tag team. You see I have no reason to have any problems with Sands, he is the World Champion, I am the IC champ I have my own business to worry about, so as far as this team is concerned the win is our goal nothing less.
(Adam grabs the camera)
Benjamin: Now onto our opponents, first off let me start with the Beast. It goes like this Beast my name is “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin the “New Age Technician”. At the present time I am yours, and more importantly my fans IC champion. Unlike the comic book hero I am not liked by all, but let it be know for those who do like me out there I thank you do it all for you, and for those who do not like me I hope my ego makes you sick enough to die in your own ignorance. You see Beast each and every month I make a long trip to the US from my home here in England, and I come out and I bust my ass, but you see since the doors of EPW have opened all I keep hearing is a lot of “high priced” stars names from other promotions. You my friend are seemingly one of the few who has decided to stick around; well good I am glad you decided to stay. For you see it is high priced names such as your that I have to make examples of, it is high priced names such as yours that I need to erase from the minds of the fans who look forward to seeing you wrestle.
(Adam grabs the IC title)
Benjamin: I am not really to found of you breaking out the sexual remarks, I mean ask your rat that you are walking around with I am sure she will tell you that myself and Sands are both straight as a ruler. But enough about ladies and sexual preferences, lets talk about the simple facts that right now your are just a name, were as I am the IC champ, so Beast I hope that this week you little talk does not over look the fact that your name might look nice on paper, but mine and Sands stands out in the ring…
(Adam laughs)
Benjamin: Cruise I am sure that you will not make the mistake Beast made, it is ok to pay tribute to your champions it is simply respecting the business. Well Cruise the mere fact that one of your finishers, of which you will never be able to hit on me, is called the reality check is so perfect for the title of this match. This match is a reality check for yourself and Beast. You see both you are going to learn that all that you have done in other promotions does not mean anything, who you are facing this week matters everything. Take a look at me realize that your reality check can be reversed into an ankle lock, were are my moves are priceless.
(Adam toss’s the IC title over his shoulders)
Benjamin: Beast and Cruise Yours Truly is not great at anything he does in life, but know this I am good at everything…
(Adam smiles into the camera as it fades)

I spoil things.
"Everyone's a critic."
(Fadein, to Cruise, in front of an EPW backdrop. Dressed in black jeans, and a solid white shirt, Cruise shakes his head with his eyes showing alot of concern behimd his Anarchy shades.)
CC: I knew alot of people would go blind with the sudden popularity in this business, but Christian, I gotta admit....I never thought it would be you.
Being that it's apparently my turn to put in my two cents, let me start off by clarifying a couple things to you Sands, that you evidently STILL don't understand.
One.
I never said that you couldn't wrestle. You proved this, obviously by winning the belt, and again the other day in our match. That reason alone, along with the request a few weeks ago to Douglas, kinda goes hand-in-hand; you proved that.
But just because you're able, doesn't mean it's gonna happen again.
You got me to tap out, Sands. Congratulations, you're not even close to being the first one to make that happen. While I'm at it, I'm sure there's going to be times when I'll tap but then again, who knows....maybe this time it might be the other way around.
Two.
Get it in your thick self-righteous, ill-foresaken soul....that I never proclaimed myself, THE SAVIOR of EPW... or anything else. for that matter. I came here just like you and everyone else did, and that's to see what's out here, and prove to everyone how well I stand up to everyone else. The winner, obviously, goes the World Title, and with that...the spoils.
But let me just tell you one thing about my being in EPW, Sands.
You've had multiple matches here in EPW compared to my TWO.
You see, my two matches weren't as lousy as yours.
I'd like to think that while I did lose to you, I proved my worth in what was my title shot, won at the Pay Per View. I didn't just earn it because there was a vacancy up there, Because you know damn well there's a ton of talent here that would've had kittens if they received the same shot as I did.
But you know what it all came down to in the end, Sands?
A simple contract, by your boss and mine....the same one that kept out interference in your title match with Beast at Black Dawn.
Paul Freeman.
Hell, I was fine with going up the same way everyone else was, really.
But it was PAUL'S decision to put me in that Four-Way match at the Pay Per View, Sands.
It was PAUL'S decision to let me keep that title shot for Aggression.
Just like it was PAUL'S decision to let you keep things one on one with Beast at Black Dawn.
Are you seeing the pattern yet, Christian?
If you really have a problem with my being in Main Events, and standing toe-to-toe with you so quickly after just barely setting foot in this organization, the you go whine to Paul Freeman.
Because frankly, my dear EPW Champion....I just don't give a (BLEEP!).
Now....for your partner....first of all....
(Cruise laughs a second and then, with a smirk...)
Congratulations on winning the belt, but lemme give you a word of advice before you continue.....
GET A LAST NAME!!!
Egads, finally the day has arrived where someone would win a title...but doesn't even have an actual last name. But hey, who am I to talk....Sands...the disgusting bastard that he is, actually took time out to see if I was in the Adult Industry before this, so I guess that goes to show just how much time our own World Champion has on his hands....err....personal time he has away from the ring.
But Adam Benjamin....or as I like to call him, "The Champion With Two-First-Names"...you seem to think that just because you've won the Intercontinental title, that things are just going to be more relaxed and easy for you don't you? Or has living in England all this time done that much damage to your brain?
You see, I've been to England before, and met all sorts of people over there, so I gotta say that your whole attitude....while some can say it's at least partially true....that doesn't mean you can slouch on that pedestal of yours, thinking that you can justify it.
Again, I've been to England, not just to see the sights, because I've gotta say....Buckingham Palace...it sure does itself wonders. But it's also great over there, due to the great response the fans give.
How would I know?
Because of a Last Pay Per View match over there, with England's OTHER favorite son...."The English Gent" Lawrence Stanley and I taking the Tag Titles in lopsided fashion.
However, just because I've been there, and won that, doesn't mean that I'm any better than you, Benjamin. Hell, I told your precious partner something similar, but he's too ignornat to see it for himself. Therefore, I guess the phrase does hold true for him.
"Ignorance is Bliss."
Now, you sit here and tell myself and Beast what we've done in other promotions means very little, which is fine, because that means you and I agree on one thing:
Live in the now.
But yet, while you say that at the same time, I'm going to have to disagree with you.
What I use, and what my finishers...while they work pretty well....unless you have a private fear of them....should be of no concern to yours.
What SHOULD be a concern...is what your rear end on the other side of the ring.
Combined, and this isn't without Christian, because lord knows he'll have a fit if he isn't included, we've beaten some of the greatest athletes and legends this industry has to offer.
I myself for example, just finished taking what alot of people still see as a complete LUNATIC to a time-limit draw, dominating him over halfway through the match.
I'm talking about a man, who's had legendary matches with Hornet....Deacon....Eli Flair.... at one time even shoving a WOODEN STAKE through one of his opponent's ligaments.
I'm talking about a man who once was so blood thirsty and dangerous that even as self-centered and egotistical he agrees to be....your own partner probably couldn't take down.
So tell me Benjamin....what's it like knowing that your own partner....the WORLD CHAMPION .....two, three, four.....the WORLD CHAMPION....can't quite get the job done against a man like that?
At least I'm man enough to admit it.
Sands is just ignorant.
You?
You're too blind to even see it.
Now since everyone seems to be talking about lines and phrases....allow me give a little comment on that.
People say that Money....sometimes with Power, is the root of all Evil.
You Adam, agree with and support the fact that Money, Power, Respect, and Success are the keys to life.
I've got Respect....maybe not from you and most likely not from Sands, but I've got Respect and plenty of it.
The same goes for Money.
I'm not on Hornet's level, but I've got plenty to keep me happy.
As far as Success goes....outside my little swaree with Christian....I'd actually like to think I'm doing well right now as it is.
Seeing as that leaves Power, and what it's done to (BLEEP!!)es like Sands, I really don't see that as actually having a concern with me right now.
So what if I tapped to the 'Clutch??
Do you honestly think that it's going to happen again? Not anytime soon. I mean, unless Christian indeed IS a sick-o and is stalking me in NFW, which Christian I'm hoping you don't....the other night was my first time in the ring with you, so I have a general feeling as to how to tend with punks like you.
Beast feels the same way as I do.
Therefore, you two may feel like you're higher than a seventie's hippie....but us....Beast and myself.....
We don't have the slightest problem with bringing you down, and down HARD.
(Cruise removes his shades for a second.)
I'd like to hope that you Benjamin, would at least see that as a possibility, seeing as neither of you are putting your titles on the line....that sir....might as well be a reality check....that you both just....won't like.
(Cruise puts the shades back on)
CHUMPS.

If you really have a problem with my being in Main Events, and standing toe-to-toe with you so quickly after just barely setting foot in this organization, the you go whine to Paul Freeman.
Because frankly, my dear EPW Champion....I just don't give a (BLEEP!).
Now....for your partner....first of all....
(Cruise laughs a second and then, with a smirk...)
Congratulations on winning the belt, but lemme give you a word of advice before you continue.....
GET A LAST NAME!!!
Egads, finally the day has arrived where someone would win a title...but doesn't even have an actual last name. But hey, who am I to talk....Sands...the disgusting bastard that he is, actually took time out to see if I was in the Adult Industry before this, so I guess that goes to show just how much time our own World Champion has on his hands....err....personal time he has away from the ring.
But Adam Benjamin....or as I like to call him, "The Champion With Two-First-Names"...you seem to think that just because you've won the Intercontinental title, that things are just going to be more relaxed and easy for you don't you? Or has living in England all this time done that much damage to your brain?
You see, I've been to England before, and met all sorts of people over there, so I gotta say that your whole attitude....while some can say it's at least partially true....that doesn't mean you can slouch on that pedestal of yours, thinking that you can justify it.
Again, I've been to England, not just to see the sights, because I've gotta say....Buckingham Palace...it sure does itself wonders. But it's also great over there, due to the great response the fans give.
How would I know?
Because of a Last Pay Per View match over there, with England's OTHER favorite son...."The English Gent" Lawrence Stanley and I taking the Tag Titles in lopsided fashion.
However, just because I've been there, and won that, doesn't mean that I'm any better than you, Benjamin. Hell, I told your precious partner something similar, but he's too ignornat to see it for himself. Therefore, I guess the phrase does hold true for him.
"Ignorance is Bliss."
Now, you sit here and tell myself and Beast what we've done in other promotions means very little, which is fine, because that means you and I agree on one thing:
Live in the now.
But yet, while you say that at the same time, I'm going to have to disagree with you.
What I use, and what my finishers...while they work pretty well....unless you have a private fear of them....should be of no concern to yours.
What SHOULD be a concern...is what your rear end on the other side of the ring.
Combined, and this isn't without Christian, because lord knows he'll have a fit if he isn't included, we've beaten some of the greatest athletes and legends this industry has to offer.
I myself for example, just finished taking what alot of people still see as a complete LUNATIC to a time-limit draw, dominating him over halfway through the match.
I'm talking about a man, who's had legendary matches with Hornet....Deacon....Eli Flair.... at one time even shoving a WOODEN STAKE through one of his opponent's ligaments.
I'm talking about a man who once was so blood thirsty and dangerous that even as self-centered and egotistical he agrees to be....your own partner probably couldn't take down.
So tell me Benjamin....what's it like knowing that your own partner....the WORLD CHAMPION .....two, three, four.....the WORLD CHAMPION....can't quite get the job done against a man like that?
At least I'm man enough to admit it.
Sands is just ignorant.
You?
You're too blind to even see it.
Now since everyone seems to be talking about lines and phrases....allow me give a little comment on that.
People say that Money....sometimes with Power, is the root of all Evil.
You Adam, agree with and support the fact that Money, Power, Respect, and Success are the keys to life.
I've got Respect....maybe not from you and most likely not from Sands, but I've got Respect and plenty of it.
The same goes for Money.
I'm not on Hornet's level, but I've got plenty to keep me happy.
As far as Success goes....outside my little swaree with Christian....I'd actually like to think I'm doing well right now as it is.
Seeing as that leaves Power, and what it's done to (BLEEP!!)es like Sands, I really don't see that as actually having a concern with me right now.
So what if I tapped to the 'Clutch??
Do you honestly think that it's going to happen again? Not anytime soon. I mean, unless Christian indeed IS a sick-o and is stalking me in NFW, which Christian I'm hoping you don't....the other night was my first time in the ring with you, so I have a general feeling as to how to tend with punks like you.
Beast feels the same way as I do.
Therefore, you two may feel like you're higher than a seventie's hippie....but us....Beast and myself.....
We don't have the slightest problem with bringing you down, and down HARD.
(Cruise removes his shades for a second.)
I'd like to hope that you Benjamin, would at least see that as a possibility, seeing as neither of you are putting your titles on the line....that sir....might as well be a reality check....that you both just....won't like.
(Cruise puts the shades back on)
CHUMPS.

Sands: Well, isn't this bloody nice.
You're right, Beast. I did do a complete one-eighty when I said I respected you. In spite of everything, I think you're one of the toughest opponents I've ever faced, and that's saying something. But keep THIS in mind. I said I respect YOU. That doesn't extend to Lindsay. You've earned the right to my respect, but she hasn't and probably won't unless she can actually win a match against me WITHOUT my foot being on the ropes.
I will admit, though - she's a little vixen. I bet she's spunky between the sheets, isn't she? She looks like the type of girl who'd get on top and stay there. And man, that ass cannot be beat.
You know, after that rematch, I might just take her. I bet she'd be glad to come with me after I've beaten you twice.
Speaking of which - I don't book the matches around here. I take what I'm given. Apparently the front office thinks they can milk a few more pennies out of that rematch I promised you by delaying it and making the viewers salivate over it, so they've pushed it back this week. And before you say anything, no, I'm not going to withdraw the offer. I may be a lot of things, but one thing I am is a man of my word. If I make a promise, I stick to it - simple as that. You'll get your rematch, Beast. When, I don't know, considering how much Danny Boy enjoys playing games... but you'll get it.
Go ahead. Give me the raspberry, Beast. But as long as we're making Spaceballs jokes, take note of the fact that Dark Helmet is on the cover of the DVD and Lonestar isn't. See, people buy the DVD to see Dark Helmet. Thus, he's on the DVD cover. I'm EPW's Dark Helmet, Beast. You're Lonestar. People watch EPW to see ME, not YOU! The only difference is... in this case, the Shwartz isn't with you. Too bad! I guess evil wins...
Now, then. Cameron... Cruise...
...are you... talk... normal?
Here I thought you were incoherent during the last match, but this takes it to a whole new level. What the hell WAS that, Cruiser? Do you actually understand how to take a point and state it clearly instead of bumbling along like a moron PRETENDING to know his ass from his elbow?
So you want me to go ***** to Freeman about you pretending to be a contender? Naw, Cam. I ain't like that. I don't dump my problems on other people. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna throw you around again. Then I'm gonna throw you around some more. Then I'm gonna make you tap out again and send you tumbling down the card. Don't worry, though. I hear from the curtain-jerkers that dark matches pay well these days. And I'm sure the viewers at home will be thanking me for discrediting you and keeping you off their TV screens.
And, uh... exactly how were your two matches not as lousy as mine... considering that one of them WAS a match with me... and the other one was judged by pretty much every dirt sheet out there as WORSE than my match on the same show? And how were mine lousier than yours when I won them both cleanly, whereas YOU lost one and got handed the other?
Exactly how the hell do you know what kind of man I can't get it done against, Cruise? Has the International Bureau of Talent sent you my exact statistics? Or are we in Dungeons and Dragons here? Oops, I guess they have more hit dice than me - I'm screwed! Pff. Cam, I think you've rolled a natural 20 in BULLSH*T.
But that's all right. I'll stomp you flat anyway.
Buck up, boys. There's no shame in losing to the Champion of the World.
Again.
So don't worry too much. Win or lose... actually, just LOSE... you can still walk out with smiles on your faces.
I am, after all, The Man - the best there is in EPW, period.
And being beaten by the best is nothing to be ashamed of.
Toodles.

(Fade into Adam Benjamin sitting in his living room watching American Idol. Adam laughing at most looks down at the IC title and begins talking)
Benjamin: Bloody fools, not one of them could sing for me. But then again not many are as talented as myself either. You see this week will showcase my abilities in a grand way. I will step into the ring with my partner, the World Champ, and well two men that feel deep down that they are something in our eyes. I sit back and listen to Cruise talk, and I sit back and wait for Beast to talk, and all in all I am simply sick to my tummy.
(Adam rubs his belly)
Benjamin: Cruise me being IC champ does not lighten my load you fool, it intensifies it ten fold. But a true champion looks forward to the challenge of each defense. Living in England can make a lot of your trash in America looks like silver dollars Cruise, pity you for attempting to even talk about my country and my brain capacity. I have you know that I am a very astute gentlemen, of whom is of higher breathing levels than most, thus have ten fold the brain power. My knowledge of the world equals my knowledge of the ring. You talk about wrestling in England and how you were treated. Fans in England are respectful, the drink tea instead of beer, eat crackers instead of burgers. Sure they gave you respect they know no other way.
(Adam shakes his head)
Benjamin: But regardless I am not looking past anyone now that I am champion. Now about Sands and previous opponents, well that matters not in regards to this match, I am confident that Christian will bring his A game to the ring this week. I am glad you think positive about this week, I am glad that Beast and you are on the same page. But please just because my title is not on the line, likewise I am sure Sands, does not mean we are not coming to kick to stitches out of your two. For you see when we are finished both CS and myself and going to walk out the cornerstones of this company, leaving you both thinking of excuses. Beast and Cruise bring to best you can, I like a good challenge. Look at me I am Yours Truly Adam Benjamin, holding you fait in my hands, and slapping it around with a smile, cheers lads have a nice day…

I spoil things.
"Someday every fighter loses."
(Fadein, Cruise slowly pacing in front of an EPW-backdrop, dressed in black jeans, a solid white shirt with his leather jacket on over it. The Anarchy Shades he has on hides the intent and concern he shows with his eyes.)
CRUISE: 'Doesn't matter if it's because your too old, you weren't thinkin' or it just wasn't your day, all of it don't matter. In the end, every man loses. Best you can hope for is to stay on top awhile....try to be the best.'
(Cruise looks down a second, crosses his arms on his chest, as he continues to pace.)
Monroe Hutchens said that in the film "Undisputed", albeit you'd have to forgive me as it's not exactly word for word verbatim of what he said.
Nonetheless, the jest of what he said is what caught me.
"EVERY MAN loses."
Hear that, Sands?
There wasn't a "except ignorant, self-righteous, punks who have been hit too many times with the Ugly Stick" part that I could have over looked.
"EVERY MAN LOSES."
But seeing as I was right in the first place about your ignorance, that Dungeons and Dragons comment an' all, you might not see that right off the bat. But that's okay, because you know you're right about something else.
There is no shame in losing to the World Champion.
It's true, and I'll be damned if the world doesn't know it already. I've lost probably more matches in my decade of wrestling than you've had altogether Sands.
But guess what?
That still doesn't change the fact that in the span of a few shows, I still got a shot at the World Title last week.
I still proved to punks like Troy Douglas, and Mister Oscar-Mayer Weiner-himself, Marx, that I can not only take them, but beat them as well.
That's despite what you and Douglas think about Beast walking in, because you and I both know that a win is a win, and we'll do pretty much anything to get it.
Which just so happens to include going to drastic measures. You talk about knowing people who wrestle in the dark matches, and that it pays almost as well as talent on television, that's all well and good, but be sure to tell your old tag team partner Juan Abee, that you said hello. He's tired of waiting for you after the shows.
Don't mistake what I say for a second, Sands, you are The Man. I've admitted that and gave you props, you can wrestle. But you have to take your head out of your a** every time before you go out, in order to do it.
But your partner should know well enough about that now shouldn't he?
Adam Benjamin, you sit at home every day with the Intercontinental title, which I'll admit was a pretty impressive bout with Karl Brown, but being that you've grown to idolize Sands as I'm sure everyone does (Cruise smirks), your pride in being an "astute gentleman" does nothing to hide it.
I mean really Benjamin, you cannot ACTUALLY sit there, knowing that you have not just one, but TWO focused athletes in the ring with you, one in which can take you from here to China and back as far as ring and mat skills.
But you evidently with your superior intelligence, Miss Cleo's hotline, you already know that.
If that's so, then you already know all about what I said earlier....
Every man loses.
You're no exception.
That in itself, should be a reality check (Cruise takes the shades off a second as the camera closes up on his eyes.), that you BOTH....won't like.

(Fade into Adam Benjamin packing up his workout gear. Adam Stops for the camera before exiting his gym.)
Benjamin: What you want is something you tend to not have. I listen to Cruise how his voice tends to get mad at points, he anger towards Sands, his lack of respect towards me, I mean what gives Cruise? I mean you bring up this everyman loses quotes as if you are the modern day poet here in EPW. I mean who in the right minds in this sport does not know that on any given night there talent can be top. I believe it is that knowledge that personally keeps me on my game. But the key to defeat Cruise is what you do following it. Take a look at Yours Truly; I can count on my hand the number of people that have defeated me in my year and a half of wrestling. Roughly twelve men have bettered me, two of which have done it twice. Now take that number and double it, and they are my fallen opponents. But look this fact up Cruise, after each loss I am undefeated in the following match. That is the bricks to a solid career that is why I am at the top of this federation.
(Adam smiles)
Benjamin: Cruise nice try on thinking I am idolizing CS, I will tap my cap to the man for being our champion, but rest assure if pushed to it I will drive the stake of humility straight through him or anyone else in EPW for that matter that cross’s me the wrong way. Now as far as you hinting you can out wrestle me, I believe out of the building, let me tell you that you are speak with out thought. I will openly get down and take bottom and allow you to wrestle me out the building. I am the new age technician the best technical wrestle walking the earth today.
(Adam smiles and grabs the IC belt and his bags)
Benjamin: Cruise you talk and you talk yet your partner sits back in his own ego’s silence, I due hope you are prepared for what is about to happen mate. I truly do…

(Fadein' Cruise in front of his house, locking the door. Dressed in black jeans, shirt with the EPW-logo on the front in white lettering, and the words "Where wrestling is at its' BEST!!" in white as well, on the back. Taking his shades outta his pocket, he puts them on, shouldering his bag and turns around, facing the camera, startled.)
CC: Well, now you camera people sure do have a knack for showing up when people least expect it, don't ya?
As a matter of fact, you guys are startin' ta get the initiative that not alot of crew members take for promo's in this business, which as of late...I gotta say is certainly a welcome change around here.
But seein' as you're already here and set up, there's no sense in packin' up and waiting for me in Miami.
(Cruise drops his bag and brushes hair out of his face.)
Adam Benjamin, you don't have the slightest idea what you're even talking about do you? I mean really, one man quotes from a movie and automatically he's a poet?
You've either been working out too long and too hard, or you're taking in too much time at three oh clock for tea and Crackers.
Nonetheless, I'll humor you anyway, since you have the Intercontinental title.
The movie was called "Undisputed".
Evidently, because of how hard you strain yourself....and I'm sure you do....you don't get a whole lot of time to catch any television to even contemplate what it is I may be talking about.
All that aside, the main fact that I'm laying out to you is that you're clueless, plain and simple.
But what's even more shameful, is that you're doing it as the EPW Intercontinental Champion, and when the day's over, and all and everyone goes home....
You're still a rookie.
You see Adam, I don't really care who it is that you've beaten thus far, even if you can name them all on every extremity you have. It doesn't even matter to me who it was that's beaten you more than a few times a week.
Right now, you're standing toe-to-toe with myself and Beast, and just happen to have Big Brother Sands standing right behind you, so you don't get scared.
But don't fret just yet, because everyone knows that it's due to what you've been able to accomplish in EPW thus far, just like me, is the reason you are where you are.
The only difference between us, is that you, just like Big Brother Sands, have your days as the IC Champion numbered.
(Cruise claps his hands once, right in front of the camera, as if you catch attention.)
Bravo, Benjamin, you finally got my point.
The same thing applies to anyone on this roster, when you become champion, whether Christian thinks so or not.
However, seeing as you're the inaugeral and model champion you claim to be, you get to be the first to set the example to everyone else here, and not Champion #156.
Once you become Champion, your days on top slowly dissipate and dissolve. Depending on how you prepare however, might tell you when it's all over. As I said before, it doesn't matter if you're sick, you were thinking about back home, or whatever the excuse may be.
Every man loses.
You and even Big Brother Sands are no exception.
Your only hope can be that it's not any of the four gunning for a shot at your belt at the pay per view, Beast, myself or anyone else you might be have second thoughts about.
The countdown has already begun, Benjamin.
I'd hate for me to be the one coming out on top, if I were you.
Because if that time should happen, Adam Benjamin, then it might be perhaps the BIGGEST Reality Check....you just won't like.
(Fadeout, as Cruise put's on his shades, shoulders his bag, and walks out of view. The camera remains fixed on Cruise's front door as a car door is heard opening and closing.
CC: Well, now you camera people sure do have a knack for showing up when people least expect it, don't ya?

But seein' as you're already here and set up, there's no sense in packin' up and waiting for me in Miami.
(Cruise drops his bag and brushes hair out of his face.)
Adam Benjamin, you don't have the slightest idea what you're even talking about do you? I mean really, one man quotes from a movie and automatically he's a poet?
You've either been working out too long and too hard, or you're taking in too much time at three oh clock for tea and Crackers.
Nonetheless, I'll humor you anyway, since you have the Intercontinental title.
The movie was called "Undisputed".
Evidently, because of how hard you strain yourself....and I'm sure you do....you don't get a whole lot of time to catch any television to even contemplate what it is I may be talking about.
All that aside, the main fact that I'm laying out to you is that you're clueless, plain and simple.
But what's even more shameful, is that you're doing it as the EPW Intercontinental Champion, and when the day's over, and all and everyone goes home....
You're still a rookie.
You see Adam, I don't really care who it is that you've beaten thus far, even if you can name them all on every extremity you have. It doesn't even matter to me who it was that's beaten you more than a few times a week.
Right now, you're standing toe-to-toe with myself and Beast, and just happen to have Big Brother Sands standing right behind you, so you don't get scared.
But don't fret just yet, because everyone knows that it's due to what you've been able to accomplish in EPW thus far, just like me, is the reason you are where you are.
The only difference between us, is that you, just like Big Brother Sands, have your days as the IC Champion numbered.
(Cruise claps his hands once, right in front of the camera, as if you catch attention.)
Bravo, Benjamin, you finally got my point.
The same thing applies to anyone on this roster, when you become champion, whether Christian thinks so or not.
However, seeing as you're the inaugeral and model champion you claim to be, you get to be the first to set the example to everyone else here, and not Champion #156.
Once you become Champion, your days on top slowly dissipate and dissolve. Depending on how you prepare however, might tell you when it's all over. As I said before, it doesn't matter if you're sick, you were thinking about back home, or whatever the excuse may be.
Every man loses.
You and even Big Brother Sands are no exception.
Your only hope can be that it's not any of the four gunning for a shot at your belt at the pay per view, Beast, myself or anyone else you might be have second thoughts about.
The countdown has already begun, Benjamin.
I'd hate for me to be the one coming out on top, if I were you.
Because if that time should happen, Adam Benjamin, then it might be perhaps the BIGGEST Reality Check....you just won't like.
(Fadeout, as Cruise put's on his shades, shoulders his bag, and walks out of view. The camera remains fixed on Cruise's front door as a car door is heard opening and closing.

(Fade into Adam Benjamin packing his bags for his trip to his EPW match. As he places the IC title in his bag he looks up and begins talking)
Benjamin: All the talk ends now. The moment of truth is knocking at the door, knock, knock, and knock. Now the lines of the week can be written down for hype, however the drive and desire now has to decided the fait. You see Cruise I am proud that you have shown the tea bags to talk all week, using fighting mans words against myself and Sands. All week long you have stood word for word with us, your voice sounding almost convincing I am sure to the fools out there in TV land. But guess what Punk I am not buying it, I am not seeing you as some threat to me in this match, or for my title.
(Adam shakes his head)
Benjamin: Cruise you display a strong poker face, I mean you have not shown a sign of worry that your partner Beast, has not spoken all week. I mean you talk about being on the same page, well I guess he is talking in another language and you are just his ***** translator. Or maybe it is the simple fact that behind all your talk you and Beast really have no bond at all in this match. Myself Sands are on the same page, are you guys? Well like I tell all my opponents the talk got you to this point, now lets see if you ability can take you any further.
(Adam grabs his bags)
Benjamin: Now just to clear up a point I made it is that I can count my loses on almost my two hands, not my wins. You see you call me a rookie, I guess I am still a little young in the sport, what a year and a half in. But my Cruise I have done so much in so little time. My path started in SCW, it broke open in GXW, it sky rocketed in MCW, and now it is breaking new barriers here in EPW. Cruise prepare yourself to meet Yours Truly Adam Benjamin, Beast pull you’re over rated ass out of were ever you are and show up and get dealt with. See you in the rings boys were the real ability will be seen.
