Statement

[Stalker]

(Camera opens to static, painful, mind-wrenching static. It slowly fades away towards blackness before a shadowy face appears on screen. This is the same face that appeared on the Empire-Tron at Unleashed, the same face that sent The First's face into horror. Jason Reeves.)

Stalker: It's shame I can't provide you with an EPW budgeted promo. I know you all are deserving of such. That's what happens when someone is fired though, they can't really provide you with company backed footage.

Such is the case with myself. I am just a poor soul, trapped outside of the company I love. Thrown out by a revenge stricken owner and ripped of a title I wholeheartedly deserved. It's okay though, I have lied in wait until the perfect moment. Impulse attempting his climb to the world championship, only to fail like I knew he would.

How did I know? Well it's obvious, I was not here. The World title is only allowed to change hands when I am present. That time is slowly approaching though. To be honest, I grow tired of The First's reign, and it has shamed me that he has for months ignored the fact that he owes his number one status to me. Well that was until his latest promo….

(Jason's image disappears and we are sent to a recording of The First's latest promo.)

First: Stalker is a being that mere humans can not even begin to understand. Because of Stalker, I'm the man, and I'm going to stay the man for as long as Stalker pleases.

(The audio clip is played over a dubbed version of The First's interview with Kenny Lambardo. It's like listening to a pieced together recording, specifically noticeable is the random Muse insertion on the word is and the delayed reaction with the end of the word pleases.)

(Now we switch back to Jason.)

Stalker: Again, I must apologize for the quality of that footage. Most of that work was done by my followers and with limited resources.

Speaking of The Fallen, as you all may have noticed at the end of Unleashed, there was quite a few people present around the ring. Those are just a few handful of people who share in my vision. After being fired from EPW there was quite an uproar in the fan base, many people reached out to me, sharing in my same desires and they were frustrated with my dismissal.

Many wanted to act quickly, strike back against the company that put it's true KING out on his ass, but I held them back. I understood the power that was at my fingertips, but I needed everyone to forget about me. Which it seems for the most part, a lot of you did. We've got Cameron Cruise thinking he's a top notch wrestler, we got Sean Stevens trying to climb his way back to the top and we have good ole' Impulse thinking he's EPW's savior……. still.

None of that matters anymore, though. Now it's time for everyone to witness what it will be like when I, yes…. I raise the World Title above my head. It's been a long time coming and don't fret about me not actually being employed by EPW. That won't last long…..

(Jason lets out a low chuckle.)

Stalker: The countless times I have stated it, the countless times I have meant it. It truly has never manifested itself into what you all are about to witness. I hope you are ready.

(The camera slowly fades from Jason's smile and switches to a montage of dubbed over video clips.)

(FADEIN: The First sitting at a table in front of the Gulu Gulu cafe, he's in black shirt and pants, face unpainted.)

FIRST: Deep seated fear of success...That's you Stalker...I remember the two of us plotting and scheming to win the EPW World Title, about our plans to dominate this company...But you couldn't handle just being the power behind the throne, you wanted to rule and have everyone know it...And then you cracked...You earned your shot at me and never took it...You spent your days fighting for lesser gold and in the end managed to push Dan Ryan's buttons to the point he sent you home...

You never took your shot, because you only DREAMED about being champion, when presented with the chance to become champion, you froze, you ran from it. When the dream had a chance of coming true you sabotaged yourself and your career to prevent it from ever happening...

And if you did ever get in the ring with me, you would blow it...The same fear of success that kept you out of the ring against me would ruin you if you ever did get the nerve to fight me.

So enjoy pretending it's still Stalker's World...You've passed your sell by date long ago...

Speaking of has-beens...

Eli, calling me Brian and little...You're adorable...I'm so glad that having a respectable performance in Uncle Chad's Has-Been's and Never-Will-Be's tournament got you all fired up to make a run somewhere...Acting like me and my title are beneath you is cute also...It's funny that you walk in claiming you want to earn everything and start from the bottom and all that...You're what, 2 or 3 promos into your EPW career without the mask on and you're already sneering at the World Title? (Laughs) Can't help yourself can you?

It's fine, pretend holding the belt doesn't matter to you...You're just the same as Stalker, all talk, no fight...The two of you deserve each other...

(FADEOUT)

FLAIR: Oh, little brian. I don't act.

You are beneath me, and so's your little title.

I walk in the door and already, the world champion and the de-facto number one contender are talkin' shit about me...

Two or three promos and I'm already in your head. If you're that insecure, maybe you should rethink your career.

 

[Stalker]

(Jason Reeves.)

Stalker: There is no fear of success here First. There is only your fear feeding me, you shouldn't forget how you got to where you are. Yes I have a banked title shot against you and yes I pushed Dan Ryan's buttons some more. You want to say I ran away? That's fine. Where would we be as bad guys without lies?

You want to hear something that is not a lie? I... do.... not.... work... for.... EPW. If I did you would not be running your mouth like some spoiled little child. Titan of Destruction? My ass. You're a weasel who has yet to know the true feeling of pain.

So yes... keeping running your mouth at me while I can't get into the ring with you.

You're doing a glorious job of it.

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in front of a black and white backdrop, dressed in appropriated outfit to contrast the backdrop, with of course...matching Anarchy-style shades. Very simple, very true.)

CRUISE: Oh GOOD....JASON is back.

Lord knows, I've beaten the shit out of Stalker enough, but JASON is back.

Hi Jason.

(In Billy Madison-esque voice)

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

Here's the thing, KID.

I've beaten you from piller to post just about every single time we've stepped in the ring, and I just got done beating "The King", at his own game.

You bet your retarded "Tim-Burton"-esque life, I think I'm a top-notch wrestler.

Don't worry First, I haven't forgotten about you either. But trust me Jason, I'm not going ANYWHERE.

And that's coming from someone who still LEGITIMATELY employed for this company, from Day One.

And that's a Reality Check...aww...who we kidding??

You already knows the rest.
