[Promo - The Undeniable Words #7, 02/21/09] C&C - Act on instinct (ID: 83482) - Xenogenocide I've had a lot of tag team partners in the past, ladies and gentlemen. Some have been long-term, some have been a one-off spanning a couple of months. Some have been relatively loyal, and some have been opportunistic bastards who insist on sinking the knife in no matter what. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of tagging with people because quite frankly, a lot of the time you're just opening yourself up for betrayal. People's egos become too big, or personal gain gets in the way. Or you just get tired and unreliable. So far, I have found one person who's immune to all that. One person has broken what I like to call 'SJ's Law' and proven to be reliable, proven to be trustworthy, and proven to be somebody whose hands I'd be comfortable putting my life in. That man is Andy Cortinovis. Centurion and I go back further than I think most of you realise. A lot of the current-day roster would have been in high school when Centurion and I first aligned. Eight years is an eternity in this crazy professional wrestling world. Empires have risen and fallen in that time, superstars have begun and ended their careers, and the face of the sport itself has changed. Cent and I have pretty much seen it all, and when the dust settled, we were the ones still standing. Many people have passed into obscurity, but Cent and I have seen and endured it all. We've been allies for eight years. So anybody thinking this is a cobbled-up excuse for a tag team who won't last against a real team is in for a very brutal shock. I'm talking to you, Famine. Famine of the Vile. Oh, my. You, my friend, are a perfect example of the 'one-win folly'. That term, for those of you who don't understand it, describes the act of taking one win, usually some time deep in the past, and milking it for all it's worth and even going as far as to make it a reason why you won't lose again. Newsflash, Famine, you aren't the first person to beat me. You want a medal? People have done what you did before. And you know what I did? I went and beat them straight back. Do you really think I'm going to fall prey to the same tactical mistakes I made last time? I learn, Famine. That's why I've endured where so many legends and classics have failed. They can't evolve and adapt to the changing face of professional wrestling, they can't learn from their mistakes. I can. I know where I went wrong in the Helldome, and you damn well better believe I've analysed that failure from all angles. I would advise you do the same- as opposed to running straight backwards like you do. That's right, Hadrian, I went there. We've all heard you ranting and raving about how you're the Demon King and how you're the only true face of evil, blah blah blah. Now I'd like to take that seriously, I really would, but weren't you 'just a normal guy' the last time we fought? How do you go from being the Demon King to being a normal guy to back to the Demon King? Do you really think anybody's buying into it? Especially when you were better when you were 'just a normal guy'? 'Normal Famine' was the one who beat me. Demon Famine, on the other hand, is struggling to keep his head above water with Scott Charlotte at the moment. Scott Charlotte's a good wrestler, and the guy has a bright future, so this isn't a stab at him whatsoever. But how do you honestly expect us to take you seriously as the Demon King when you can't even steal someone's chick without him unleashing mountains of comeuppance! I mean, how in the hell did you let him do what he did the last week! You're the Demon King! I know your arse has to have some kind of 'blow up the infidel' spell. Hell, even call up a few of your 'loyal subjects' to destroy him! Yet he's still waging a guerrilla war that you're having a damn hard time suppressing. Fact is, Famine, you are still a fraud, and it's even funnier because you try to hard to make out that you aren't. If you maybe ignored us and went around your day to day business, someone might take you seriously, but every five seconds you've got to re-assert your Demon King status. You've even said yourself this match is at least partially about reminding us why you're the Demon King. Does it even matter if we know? If you really were the Demon King, it'd probably be more to your advantage that we didn't know. Y'know, so you can actually take over the world without us even knowing it? That's the one thing I've never got about you people- stealth and manipulation would be far more to your advantage, yet you insist on kicking down the door broadcasting that you're on some kind of Satanic invasion. Thing is, Famine, I've gone head to head with things that are truly demonic. Not just posers, I'm talking about people who I'd swear were legitimately hellspawn. And I'm still triumphant and I'm still here. Even if you are the Demon King, you've got the poor fortune of going up against a specialist in that sort of thing. Let's face it, you operate on fear- but when the other side feels none, you go all to pieces. I'm not afraid of you, and I won't be intimidated by you. And I intend to prove that when we take the Tag Team Championships. |
