Our scene opens up inside a rundown
apartment. This is the type of place that your average person doesn't visit, it
really looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. A rat would feel right at
home in this place, there can be no doubt about that. There is a TV in the
corner, and without no warning at all, it flickers to life. We can see as the
channels change at a fast pace, then suddenly it stops. We see a woman in the
studio, it's a news channel. We listen in.
"
Controversial wrestler, Muhammad Hassan, has once again returned to the
wrestling world as we confirmed for you earlier today. World Incorporated
Wrestling are the company who have signed this man, and no doubt, this is going
to 'cause some unrest within the wrestling community, and outside it.
"
We hear people muttering something, in
a language which isn't English. The channel flicks once again, this time to a
sport related channel.
" Lemme tell ya'
where I am on this one. Muhammad Hassan is no good, he's a punk. He comes to
this country, and wants to preach his evil. We don't wanna' hear it, buddy.
"
Once again, we hear more speaking from
behind the camera. The voices are slightly raised now, the men behind not happy
with what is being said on the television. We then see a huge man pick up the
TV, and throw it into the wall. It's Dalip Singh. The man mountain let's out an
almighty roar, beside him is Khosrow Daivari. The camera pans around slightly,
and we're staring directly at Muhammad Hassan. He's once again wearing his head
dress, with a white suit. He doesn't look happy.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD
HASSAN]:
INFIDELS!
He
shakes his head slowly, thinking over the words that have just been said on the
television set. He rubs his chin slowly, taking his time.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
Even
now, you people cannot accept me, cannot accept US! What is your problem, I ask?
I have done nothing wrong in all my life, yet you people still want me gone,
like I am some sort of terrorist.
Daivari
leans over, and he whispers something into the ear of Muhammad Hassan. Muhammad
seems to agree with what he said, as he is nodding his head.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
You
all witnessed at Meltdown just what I am capable of, what power I have over
people in this country. It was nothing personal, R-Truth was just unlucky enough
to be there. We had to make an example out of someone, and there wasn't a better
target in sight. We're here to send a message, and we don't care who we go
through to send this message. This is how it has to be, this is what you people
make us do. This is your fault. Your attitude towards us just proves how stupid
you American infidels really are. The more that you try to push me away, the
more I'm going to be around. The more hate that you show towards us, the more
damage we're going to inflict on you, and wrestlers in World Incorporated
Wrestling.
There is no expression across his
face, he just continues to speak.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
I
wanted to have my first match last week, but I was told it wasn't possible. They
couldn't find an opponent that was suitable for me, I was told. So, I waited my
time.. Sent a message out to everyone, This week, I find that I'm in a match
with Jeff Hardy?
He
chuckles.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
The
hypocricy is amazing. You people want to boo me, hate me, when you cheer for a
man who is addicted to drugs. You let your children cheer for this man, you pay
money just to come and watch him. You boo me, a man who has never broken the law
once in his entire life. Jeff Hardy, I'm sure that you all know.. He's no
stranger to breaking the law. What Jeff will fail to understand is that
this is a match he cannot win, there is zero chance for you, Jeff. Whatever you
have planned out in your head, you should forget it straight away, my friend. I
am like no one else in this company, which I'm sure you can see. I am not here
to make up numbers, this is very much real for you. You hold that European Title
belt so proudly, like it is the best thing in your life. Well, it probably is
I'm sure.. What else do you have in your life that's worth anything, Jeff? You
cannot escape me. There are no amount of drugs that will make me disappear,
Jeff. Try as you might.. I'm not going anywhere.
Daivari raises his arm.
THE PREACHER [KHOSROW DAIVARI]:
TELL HIM
MUHAMMAD!
Muhammad just raises his arm up to
Daivari, telling him to just cool down for now. Daivari nods, as Muhammad
continues.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
I am
Allah's prophet. I have been sent here with a mission, and I will follow through
with this mission. I know that with time, you will all learn to embrace us, you
will look up to us. I'm going to change Jeff Hardy, almost overnight. What I'm
going to do to him.. Well, it's not going to be for the.. faint hearted. It
seems that it's been a long time since someone has taught you a lesson, Jeff.
You need to be put back down in your place, right at the bottom of the pile. You
can have everyone cheering for you on Meltdown, and it won't help you at all. I
do not tell stories, everything that comes from my mouth is one hundred percent
fact. The way that I view this match.. when I beat you, Jeff..it makes me first
in line for a shot at your title belt. I have a feeling that you know this also,
which is why this is hard for you. This isn't World Wrestling Entertainment,
here in World Incorporated Wrestling.. I'm allowed to do whatever I like. They
won't be stopping me. They know people will tune in to see what I do, to see
what I have planned for you.
Muhammad moves
to the right.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
I
know that this is probably the biggest match of your pathetic career, Jeff. You
step into the ring with a man who has been galvanized, I'm stronger than I once
was. I went away, and I got BETTER Jeff.. more than you could believe possible.
This moment will go down in World Incorporared Wrestling history, Jeff. This is
the moment that.. The Jihad, started to take over. The Nexus is falling apart at
the seams. It's basically being held apart by two men. We're not like them.
We're going stronger by the day, you'll be amazed at how many people want to
join me on this journey. People from all across the world, in every walk of
life. want to be apart of this revolution. Most of them are too weak to see it
through, but they listen to me. I hope that you listen to me, Jeff. I hope you
take that last hit, and listen to me now. This could very well be the final
moment of your career, your fate rests within my hands. I can end it all for
you, all the pain, all the suffering. It doesn't matter what you want to happen,
I'll make the choice.
Harsh words from Hassan, he
definitely doesn't lack confidence at all. That's for
sure.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD
HASSAN]:
I have heard from my sources, that John Bradshaw Layfield
over on Fusion has had something to say about me. Mr. Layfield, I know where to
find you. This isn't a hard task. You speak like you're some sort of god, but
there is only one god.. and it isn't you, my friend. I want you to see what I do
this week, and I'll wait to see if I hear anything back from you after that.
This is a game that you don't want to play, John. Enjoy what you have over on
Fusion, and don't make me cross the divide as I have no
boundaries.
Hassan looks across to Singh, and
smirks.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
I
want you all to meet Dalip Singh, I saved him from going down the wrong path, I
spoke to him, and showed him the light. I showed him that you American people
were mocking him, laughing everytime he would walk down that ramp. You will
laugh no more, I've created a monster. This man will make sure that no one tries
to attack us, as we know what you American's are like. The colour of our skin
means that people will try to harm us, this is no secret. It has happened for
years, and will continue, unless someone does something about it. WE are going
to change everything, we will change the views of you people. Arab American's
will soon be able to walk down the street without being looked at, because once
I make my way to the top, it will be the the WHITE people who are looked down
upon by us. I'm fighting for not only us, but Arab American's all over the
world.
All three men look at each other,
approving of this last message.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD
HASSAN]:
Listen to me, Jeff.. The management at World Incorporated
Wrestling are making a FOOL out of you. Do you not see it? Do you see the
opponents that are put in your path when you defend that title of yours? They
don't think much of you, my friend. Oh no, they know as well as I do.. That
you're no good. You're the bad apple. They've made this match as a sacrifice,
you're being sacrificed so that I can make my intentions known. Don't take it
too personally, Jeff. Someone had to be thrown into the ring with me, you were
just the man they landed on. I know that when I step into the ring, and look
into your eyes.. I'll see the fear. You cannot pretend with me, Jeff. I know
that you're not ready for this step up, you will NEVER be ready for this step
up. You can play up to the fans, fly off the top rope... INFIDEL! It won't work.
I've been waiting for this moment, for a long time now. I've played it over in
my mind, and I know what I must do. What happened to R-Truth, it's NOTHING
compared to what I have in mind for you at Meltdown, Jeff. When I'm finished
with you, I will go on to dominate this show. Week after week, opponent after
opponent. It doesn't matter who it is, I will prevail victorious.
You really have to worry for Jeff Hardy,
Hassan sounds focused for sure.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
There
is no future for Jeff Hardy, there is no hope. You're the first real victim of
The Jihad, you've been chosen by Allah himself. Take a look back at history, and
just see what I managed to achieve a few years ago. Think to yourself.. what
will I be able to do NOW? The thought will be haunting you, I know this. You'll
hear the clock ticking in your mind, seconds will feel like minutes.. minutes
will feel like hours. This day will come quicker than you expected, and then
it'll be over just as quick.
Muhammad holds up
his index finger.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
There
is, but ONE god..
He looks up to the
roof.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD
HASSAN]:
AND I.. MUHAMMAD HASSAN...
He stares directly into the camera.
THE PROPHET [MUHAMMAD HASSAN]:
AM
HIS PROPHET!
Daivari quickly steps into the
scene, and begins to shout off in arabic.
THE PREACHER [KHOSROW DAIVARI]:
JEFF
HARDY! MOUKA SUR CUHN DEAAT HITE FOOKLA PUTTA RUMBATA KAY SUM PLAAG TUPPA!
INFIDEL! PRAISE ALLAH!
All three men begin to
laugh as our scene slowly fades away. It's clear for all to see that this is
going to be a hard task for Jeff Hardy.
