(FADEIN: The First sitting in a living room, maybe a hotel or some apartment he's staying in. His hair is a mess with some of it hanging over his face, which isn't made up. He's wearing a black T-Shirt and pants. In the background "Up" Green Version by Shania Twain is playing.)

FIRST: Well...Can't say as I was a fan of all that...What with the repeated beatings...The watching my dreams being crushed before my eyes...Not exactly good times...

As for the music...I need something to get me out of this mood...And it's either this or Susan Boyle, but that clip always gets me to weeping, which might be cool with the 16 year emo girls...But I gotta try to cater to more then just them...

Anyhow, let's review the night...The Rocko symbol kicks off the show and here I come out, looking like a million bucks, fresh off my ass-kicking of fraud-king Sean Stevens...Next thing I know I'm seeing stars...Next thing I know they tell me I gotta get to the ring and defend the tag belts by myself...

Next thing I know I'm back in the locker room sans tag belts, being told I've just been waylaid by the same man who trashed my opening my spot...Now this would all be pretty crummy...But then well...It got even better...

See at the start of that night I walked out to challenge Sean Stevens for the World Title...Next thing I know...JA is having the match of his life, next thing I know, Rocko Daymon is back...Suddenly they got a three way dance for the World Title...

I have Craig Miles suddenly pushing EPW around and forcing a #1 contenders match between Anarky and TAFKA (said Taf-Ka) Beast...I have gone, from having the brass ring all but in my hands...To having it cruelly snatched away and hidden from me...That hurts...

But then I think about it...And I come to understand...That if anyone knows this story...If anyone can feel my pain...It would be you...And I start to feel true horror...True pain...

You just can't catch a break can you Cruise? You've fought in this company for so very, very long...You built Anthology, this star studded stable of elite talent, bent on setting EPW on it's ear...You run Troy Douglas out of the company and capture the Intercontinental Championship...And you hear me, some young pup, some punk, talking about a re-match for the World Title...Hell when's the last time you had a match for the World Title, much less demanding another shot two shows after you lost the one before it.

So you put an end to my rambling, you and Jared Wells stomp my guts out...You explain quite clearly that if ANYONE in this company should be getting a World Title shot...It's you...

And then just as with you...You watch as forces beyond your control move against you...The dream of Cameron Cruise fighting for the World Title up in smoke...This business is all moving parts and jagged edges and you never see them till their upon you...

I'd ask you how you deal with the pain...How you cope with never getting the brass ring time after time...But I don't want those answers...

I want this to hurt...

I want this to be unhealthy, irrational, painful...I want to suffer and feel less for it...I want to rage against the forces that have put me into the position I am in...

And then I'm going to take your head off...You are the target I've been presented, and so I must play by the rules, I must do what I have to...And what I have to do is defeat you and take that Intercontinental title...And when I do...I'm going to take that belt and dare anyone...ANYONE to take it from me...And I will crush them, one by one, I will empty out the whole locker room if I have to...

And when the bodies have been piled high enough, when enough people have suffered...I will walk up the World Champion...Whoever he is...And point to the carnage I have inflicted, show him the honor and glory I have given to my belt...And then...Then I shall add him to the list of my victims...And claim his belt and the mantle of EPW...For my own...

I forgive your attacks upon me...For all you were seeking was the same thing as I...

We both failed...

But now we must fight...And so now...You...Must fail again...

You can not deny destiny...You can not stop fate...What you can not see...Is that you have already lost...

Pax Vobiscum

"You know...it's not that I don't think you mean well, but I just gotta ask you one thing..."

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise dressed in blue jeans and a black "Anthology" T-shirt, as he yawns. Sitting in a chair against the wall of his house, he puts his trademark Anarchy Shades back on after wiping his eyes and then giving his glasses a quick once over. Holding the EPW Intercontinental title in his lap, every couple minutes he gives it a once over, looking for smudges to clean up.)

CRUISE: How the **** are you able to have people take what you say seriously after boring them to sleep?? I mean, hell...I never knew that I had a better way to get to sleep at night than the use of pills or a soft cushion...I can skip that and get straight to sleep by listening to one of your promos.

'Cuz here's the thing, First....a man like myself...or That dirty ***** Wells for that matter...we don't take kindly to people who sit and mope around all day and act "gloomy".

And that's precisely the vibe we get when we see you or listen to you cut a promo. But believe me...you can have the sixteen-year-olds...they're not exactly my cup o' tea anyway.

(Cruise cups his hand to his mouth as if he's whispering something secret)

The minute they become legal though, you don't have a chance. Not that you couldn't try, they just become a "pick-me-up" for "The Bastard Son" when he's feeling blue...and despite winning the Tag Team titles trust me when I tell you that he's needed to do that quite abit lately. So much so, that you'd like to think that he would put out a "How-To" video, but unfortunately for "The Dangle Brothers", we just don't have the time.

Now who could think of a better segue than that to move into the business at hand?? Tell me because I'd sure like to know myself.

But since we're on the topic of bastards...

Since when do you get off thinking that I've written off my dream of holding the Empire Pro World Heavyweight Championship?? Since when do you get the audacity to assume such a thing that my desire to be the man to represent the face of this company just because I'm holding another title below it??

Newsflash First....you never had it to begin with.

You want to know what it is to be a man like me and deal with the pain of being ostracised from the main event after doing a service to this company like I did with running Suicide out??

The man was going around injuring competitors, not just because they were unlucky in having to face him in the ring, but he was doing it pretty much whenever he pleased.

And that didn't sit well with me, First. So I took action after I signed a contract to compete here, and made sure that not only did he not injure another person here. Did Westcott get that taken care of when he was here?? How about Douglas??? No, not once.

Was what I did appreciated?? No, not unless you count Paul Freeman forcing me to team up with a man that had more love for Rod Stewart, Billy Joel and Pat Benatar than anyone one EVER should.

Joey Melton.

Sure, people can say that he used his influence and because of that Joey and I became Empire Pro's first TWO-TIME Tag Team Champions, and in the process, put the wrestling world on it's ass with the popularity and touring schedule we took.

European countries. England to perform in front of the Queen. Charity parties, backyard birthday wishes, in the Grotto with Playboy Bunnies in front of Hugh Hefner, hell...I even had to go as far as to wrestle 'gators down in the 'glades!!

(Cruise stops for a second as he shrugs.)
Okay so, maybe I had fun in the Grotto, but regardless....everywhere we went...who did all the work?? Who paid for the long distance phonecalls that was made in the middle of the night to Bangkok so Joey could spend $9.95 a minute, talking about how good he looked in a leather leopard "Man-panty"....and THEN want to cry about how he missed Lindsay??

ME.

And what was the thanks I got for it??

Getting this very same Intercontinental title stolen from me when that jealous son of a ***** accused me of stealing the limelight away after winning it fair and square and being a part of the Klu Klux Klan.

For those of you that are absolvant of the way things work in this industry the translation goes like this:

A President or promoter will back you up in anything that you need to be a part of, especially if you hold a particular title in the company....as long as it doesn't project a negative view of the company.

Thus, I was forced to vacate the Intercontinental title against my wishes, regardless of how unfair it was.

Pretty bad right?? That's not the least of it, but I'll save you the anguish of the rest of the story for another day. The fact of the matter is, First...it's rather simple to me.

I said it from the start, I came to Empire Pro to make an impact on this business and this company, and I intend to do that, starting with the domination of this company with Anthology. And just like in "Dominoes"...it's going to follow suit with everyone that agrees with us. I said from the start that Troy Douglas didn't rate high enough to be a Champion, let-a-lone spitshine my boots in this company and HE DIDN'T, which is why I sent his ass PACKING.

Now he's one less of an income he deserves to begin with, and that belt actually has the credibility it was missing since it was stolen from me.

I served EPW notice afew weeks ago when I brought back "The Minister Of Getting Sinister" and the other half of "The Dangle Brothers", Jared Wells and I'm not joking around.

Everyone saw that when I nearly broke Troy Douglas' neck in the process of becoming a 2-time EPW Intercontinental Champion....not that he could ever beat me to begin with, he's a loser in every sense of the word.

And it's not going to stop there either, First.

I'm keeping this title as long as I'm physically able and if it means trading it up for a shot at the World Heavyweight title, then that's quite well the possibility.

I'm going to be EPW World Heavyweight Champion, don't think I'm not, just because I've got another title, it's like this:

EPW has seen it's last day of holding Cameron Cruise back in every sense of the word and that's evidenced by what I not only did to you, but what I've done to wrestling as we know it.

You asked me when the last time I had a match with the World title on the line for me to win, I'm asking you now..when was the last time that you've seen me ask for one??

Sure, every man signs a contract in this company with hopes of one day being a champion and on that day hoping that they can stop being called by their name but by "The Champ."

Because by placing the word "THE" in front...that makes you JUST THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.

Now you've said that you don't care for the answers, but since you're such the inciteful man you are, what makes you think I want the questions??

You can "rage" all you want...but it's not making any bit of a difference to me, not when I've had the career here that I've had.

Sure, we both didn't get the match that we REALLY wanted at Wrestleverse and by that it's fine with me, First.

I'm used to it.

But if you think that you're going to lump me in along with you as people that "Failed" to get what they want then you're kidding yourself.

I never "FAILED" anything.

If at all...this is just a delay from the inevitable, Brian.

Right now, it's not Destiny, it's not even Fate.

It's not even "Pax Vobiscum"...wallah-wallah-bing-bang.

But pinning you at Wrestleverse WILL be a REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.

(FADEIN: The First sitting on a giant leather chair. His hair and make up are freshly done, with his black hair having a blue sheen to it. His face is powdered white, he's wearing tinted goggles with screws in them like what Trent Reznor was wearing in the "Closer" video. His finger nails have been manicured and painted black. "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga plays in the background, one does hope First is merely ironically enjoying this or he's truly gone off his rocker.)

FIRST: You were a tag champ...You did run off Suicide...You did this, you have done that...You speak of all these events Cameron, but they are all in the past...The past is a prison you can't escape...It's something we can't change, can't do anything about...You know those moments in your life, the defining moments, we made decisions in them, and that's it...It's over...

And you seem to be living in the past...Always trying to defend yourself by falling back on these accomplishments...While at the same time whining about being held back, being denied glory...I have to ask you a question now.

Why haven't you seized the moment Cruise? Why haven't you ever stepped up and DEMANDED it be your time?

Aggression 40, there you are, 6 man tag Anthology Vs Fallen...You got Sean Stevens, freshly minted 2 time EPW World Champion standing across the ring from you...What do you do? Do you call him out? Do you tell him it's time for Cameron Cruise to get a shot at the belt? Do you get him so angry, so outraged at the smears and insults you hurl at him that he DEMANDS you fight him and he puts the EPW World Title on the line?

No...All that happens is Fusenhoff is left for dead, Anthology picks up a win that's forgotten about 10 minutes after the show ended...You continue to just put the nose to the grindstone, continue to just plow along, hoping that by happenstance or chance maybe something will fall in your lap...

("Just Dance" by Lady Gaga now takes over in the background, this isn't looking good.)

Aggression 41 rolls around, and what do you know, it's Forsaken Vs Fallen...And what happens? I put the badmouth on Stevens, I'm all over him like a cheap suit, I tear into him from the moment the match is signed till the bell rings, I tell him I want a title shot...Then the match happens, and Anthology attacks, lays everyone out...But it means nothing...Match goes on...Forsaken wins...

Aggression 42...Sean Stevens does as I want...He offers me a World Title shot...Think about it Cruise...You got the tag runs, the IC Title run, the history in singles and tags in this company...You win a tag match against Stevens, and it avails you of nothing...You attack him and everyone in the ring the next week, and achieve nothing...Yet I...A man who's had 2 singles matches in his EPW Career...Who's been tagging with Felix Red and seen as the 'lesser half' of the Forsaken...I cut to the head of the line and get myself a World Title shot...How did all that happen Cruise? We both had the exact same opportunity, one took advantage...One let it slip away...

Why Cameron? Why did it work out that way?

Because I see what you can not

That sometimes the hand of Fate...Must be forced...

Yeah I lost to Stevens...Go to the record book and it says nothing more then "Triple X" Sean Stevens defeated The First to retain the EPW World Heavyweight Title. But the truth is more then that...See I might have had fans. But it's fans of a team that's a HEAVY underdog. They were might have been hoping I'd win, but they really hoped that I didn't get schooled, that I didn't get run out of the ring and disgraced. Instead I showed that I belonged...I entered the fire, and was reborn...

From tag wrestler...To main event talent...From the shadow of Felix Red...To future EPW World Champion...

You...You talk a lot...But when will you finally...DO...I mean it Cruise, you've been here a long time, spent all these years...It's time for you...To sh*t or get off the pot...

I think you fear the test, what it will reveal in you...I think it's why you shrink from the big moment, when you turn a deaf ear as Destiny knocks on your door...She tends to leave you behind and find others more suited to the task...

("Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas now comes on, oh dear.)

So now we meet for the IC Title...Look at my EPW career, how in the world do I deserve this match based on my lack of singles matches here? Shouldn't I be making the Winters/Hart match a three way dance...Shouldn't I have given Olvir something to do on this PPV?

But that's not the way it works...When you free yourself from straight jacket of Fate...When you bend Destiny to your will and she moans like a lover in approval... It brings me to you...To defeat you and claim your title...And after I have done so...I will continue my skyrocket ascent in EPW, while you can continue muddling along, dreaming dreams but never reaching for them...Hoping for serendipity to shine upon you...Remaining a prisoner of Fate rather then breaking those chains and paving your own way.

Maybe one day the fates will smile upon you...Maybe one day, it will be your time...But not here...Not now...

Pax vobiscum

"You'll have to forgive me Brian, as I'm not exactly a Church-going man..."

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in front of an EPW Wrestleverse backdrop, dressed in blue jeans and a white t-shirt with the infamous "No Ma'am" logo on the front and and his black Anarchy shades. Re-shouldering the EPW Intercontinental Championship onto his left shoulder, he shakes his head in disbelief.)

CRUISE: ...But how am I supposed to sit here and listen to a person that's been given the right to vote, the privilages to drink alcohol and free range to attempt to stick his penis where the sun doesn't shine as well as in any vagina that would hold still long enough to hold her breath....and still look into a rat-infested, herpes-and-syphilis-driven, graffiti-written, cracked mirror in a gas station and see a grown man that's dressed up in make-up with his "hair did", and his nails done and take him seriously??

It just can't be done, why??

For one...making yourself as a mock up of Trent Reznor only irritates the piss out of me, not because you're a fan of him by any means, it's pretty obvious. But because I USED to be one myself.

At least until I saw him in a Las Vegas Strip Club and tried to say hi to him and wave as he walked by. But you know what?? He didn't say hello, he didn't wave at me or even nod in my general direction.

So you know what I say to Trent Reznor??

F*CK TRENT REZNOR!!!, he's a midget that doesn't deserve to be involved in music and needs to find himself a hole and stay there!!

However, I'm digressing and I don't want you to miss the point I'm trying to make here. The fact is is that everytime I look at you Brian, I can't help to think back to when I was looking up things in the "Good Book" the other day...

Not that I had a desire to pursue my religion beliefs any further, but because I was bored, just so we're clear about it....but I remember reading something in there that stuck with me.

(Cruise looks down for a second to think..)

If memory serves I believe it goes something like..."When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.", 1 Corinthians 13:11.

So in seeing that inscribed...it comes to me like an epiphany....I not only don't have to answer to you or your questions, but since you're the exact opposite of that passage...

I don't have to listen to you, PERIOD, but for the sake of the argument...let's allow me the honor of answering MORE of your questions because believe me...there's nothing I'd like to spend my precious time doing than to put your mind at ease...as warped as it may be.

First off, how do you know that I haven't had a plan to "seize the moment", Brian??

How do you know that I haven't done it already by bringing forth and together the best group of athletes this business has ever seen or failed to give the proper chance to?? How do you know that I'm not just biding my time for when whomever it is that comes out of it the champion after this PPV is over?? Maybe I'm pulling back like acouple people did afew years ago over in Stamford?? Hell, I might just be comfortable as it is right now, and focused on just taking over the entire company first and then the circuit??

Larry Tact, one of the best technical wrestlers to step in the ring.

Shawn Jessica Hart, one of the most unpredictable competitors there is.

Hell, Jared Wells...

(Cruise smiles slyly)

What CAN'T you say about that dirty b*tch?? One half of "The Dangle Brothers"...there's not a thing that that bastard can't do that he'll set the bar doing.

It's a matter of picking the perfect time to strike, First, and you can be rest assured that when you figure it out, everyone else will too.

You see, you haveta get something into your head, Brian, and that's that at twenty-four years old...you couldn't POSSIBLY have the experience that I've got, not with a decade longer career.

I told you, when I created "Anthology", I put this company as well as this business on NOTICE.

Besides, everyone knows that Sean Stevens is too much of a punk-ass chicken**** to waste his breath calling me out, anyway, regardless of how much myself or Anthology has dominated his crew.

The Fallen.

(Cruise smirks.)

That's a joke.

Our wins are forgotten ten minutes after we achieve them...I mean, tell me you're kidding, Brian. As I've said before Stevens is a chicken****, Chiquita Banana got so freaked out that I'm not sure if ANYONE really knows what happened to her, and Stalker isn't anything but a watered down version of Bob Saget, as far as I'm concerned.

Fusenshoff?? Let's just call it what it is. Fuse is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But as far as Aggression 42 is concerned...here's the difference between you and me...Stevens asserted himself into defending the World title and that's fine.

Not many men that possess a title on that level do that.

I asked for someone to sign on the dotted line and face me in the ring, and Troy Douglas continued to exhibit the stupidity that got him to where he is today and answered it by doing the same.

I own Troy Douglas, figuratively, metaphorically, and inside the squared circle...LITERALLY, and he paid for it by losing the Intercontinental Championship and nearly breaking his neck.

You?? You get what you want by challenging Trips to a match on the same night for the World Heavyweight Championship...and FAIL.

Now...thinking back over these last few months, you'd like to think that somewhere there's a pattern right??

Much like Douglas, when it comes down to it Brian...you can't upstage me or The Anthology. Not that you couldn't keep trying, but let's face it, it is what it is:

We're just that much bette than you.

You'd said in the past that you're seen as the 'lesser half' of the Forsaken, much like I was in "The Cameron Cruise Project", but again...I took advantage of my work ethic, and because of that...

People, athletes and fans alike know me more than they know you, despite of how many times I challenge for the World Heavyweight title; that's just the perks of the business.

It's great to be popular, First...FIRST, it's even better when you pull off the unexpected in the process.

You're a tag wrestler out of the "Shadow" of Felix Red, and good on you for it.

But, I'm a former TWO-TIME TAG TEAM CHAMPION turned CURRENT Intercontinental Champion.

See where I'm goin' here, Brian??

Whatever your trying to do, despite the match with Trips...I've done it FIRST..and I've done it BETTER.

Destiny leaves me behind??

Have you not seen anything myself and the rest of The Anthology has done lately??

I'm the Intercontinental Champion and Larry Tact and Jared Wells are the current tag team champions and "The Prime Minister of Gettin' Sinister" is "The Friggin' Champion of the Universe"!!

In other words, Brian...we ARE the the HOTTEST COMMODITY this business has seen, and it's because of me.

Yeah, Sean Stevens is going to defend the World Heavyweight title at Wrestleverse and neither one of us is going to be standing in the ring across from him.

But when you think about it...no one really gives a damn. They want to see who's going to get destroyed next by The Anthology.

For one man...that's Layne Winters...as if that should cause a problem.

Others get to smack around Felix Red and his partner, Snuffleupagus, and it couldn't be a better time.

Then there's you, The First.

"The First" to challenge me for the Intercontinental title, and "The First" chance for someone to shut you up.

And despite not getting a chance for the World Heavyweight title...I couldn't be more happier than to be the man to do it.

How do you know that Destiny or Fate hasn't given me the sign to "Steal Third Base"?? Maybe I've already got a three-to-four step leadoff??

But you're right Brian, it's time to **** or get off the pot.

Just wait until you see what I've left for you to "flush down the toilet", come Wrestleverse.

Believe me...it'll be a REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.

(FADEIN: The First, he's outside and walking around, most likely around the streets of Salem. He's wearing an all black three piece suit with a black vest under the jacket thrown in for good measure, about the only contrast to all the black is a silver chain that has a small silver ankh hanging off it. His hair is parted down the middle, his black hair hanging off his shoulders, still with the blue sheen, his face is powered white with a raccoon stripe of black across his eyes.)

FIRST: Sorry you don't like the packaging Cameron...But this is who I am...The culture I feel comfortable, the life I wish to lead...Being a rising star in EPW means you don't have to punch a clock, don't have to toil away for 8 hours a day doing something you hate...It means you're able to live the life you please, without compromise. Madness, is always better on a budget...(Smiles)

I mean I like the suit, I know I'm not gonna win any battles in thread count with Triple X, but it's a start.

So I'm gonna look like a freak...I'm gonna make sure my nails got a mirror shine to them (Holds up his black painted finger nails to the camera) cause that's how I am...It's who I be...I don't begrudge you rocking "Married with Children" T-Shirts...I don't care how you dress, don't care what you drive...What I care about in people is their passion, their spirit, their drive, your aura...How we're all walking this journey through the time stream...The journey from birth to death...That experience we all have and share with each other...

(First continues to walk down the empty street, as he does, now a woman appears in the background. She dances around wearing a flowing white dress, her blond hair a bit shorter then shoulder length.)

Destiny is around us...Always in the fabric of our lives, a muse, and a guide, always there to nudge, to push...Rarely to force...For we make as much of our own destiny as we can...So many forces pushing and pulling...She is but one of them...Yet sometimes, one must lead the dance...Other times one must follow...

(First turns towards the woman and they lock hands, they go into a Foxtrot for a few moments, with First leading and then the woman...They then draw apart with a bow to each other... she twirls away and goes back to dancing on her own.)

And then there is you...Spinning in a rut...In 2005 you held that very same belt...And it's taken all this time, the formation of the great and powerful Anthology (Smirks) to get you...Back to this same place...You tell me how amazing you are...I see a hamster in a wheel...Yeah you've won a lot of matches, but you're like the gambler who breaks even and recalls the victories, never the defeats...You belittle Joey Melton...Why was it the Cameron Cruise Project? The name tends to imply it was an effort by Melton to do something on your behalf...And now you bite the hand that fed you...Typical...Remind me again, which half of that tag team has held the EPW World Title?

For all your talk of greatness Cameron...You are not great...For all your talk of ambition, you have none...Or at least not the talent to act upon it...You gather an army of thugs for what? To relive your past glory from 2005? Don't talk to me about some long term ten-part plan that's going to lead you to the EPW World Title...Every nerd has one of those to win the heart of the cheerleader currently f*cking the quarterback...And every night she still goes home with him...

Right now there's only one true leader of EPW, like him or not...and that's Sean Stevens. I took the measure of the man...I know what I'm up against should I encounter him again...Do you? (Shakes head) of course not...You're busy telling people you're great rather then showing them your great...You're busy following, not leading...That's your nature...Trip started this smark bullsh*t of calling me Brian, and because you don't have an original bone in your body you ape his sh*t to get whatever attention you can...

There is a term for you Cruise...That term is gatekeeper...You guard the door between good, and great...You yourself can never make it through that door, but you will remain there, rejecting the unworthy, and being brought to heel by those who are worthy...You are my next test...The next step in my journey...A failure is proof I am not yet ready...a success shows that it is my time...And so I shall ascend to superstardom, to greatness...

There will never be a Cruise Era or an Anthology Era in EPW...But the Era of The First is nigh...Destiny smiles upon me...She asks me to walk through the fire again...To once more prove myself...To leave the ring with your gold...Made mine...But the glory...The glory was never yours...You were merely there to make sure someone worthy took it...I will prove my worth to you...I shall not be denied...

I do ask of you one request...Do not stop fighting, give no quarter, leave everything in the ring...Only a victory born of epic battle is truly deserving of a celebration...

(The woman dances her way over to The First and then rests her head on his shoulder, she smiles cheerfully at the camera. The First also smiles.)

"Not for nothing Brian, but if I'm lookin' to dance with someone it's gonna be in the enviroment of a bar. Why a bar?? Because that's the other place where everyone knows where to find me. Not just me, but in fact..."

(Fadein, Cameron Cruise dressed in blue jeans and a black "Anthology" T-shirt, with his hair slicked back. He slaps the EPW Intercontinental Title over his left shoulder as he continues down a sidewalk in Bel Air, Maryland.)

CRUISE: ...This is where "The Dangle Brothers" call home....

(Cruise throws his free hand out in the direction of a bar acouple blocks away lit up in neon lights called "Looney's". A line streams from the front door to around the corner and down the street.)

CRUISE: It's a wonderful thing, "Freedom of Expression", and because of that I understand that you like to dress how you do, but let's forget for a minute that this country is what it is; America accepts you for who you are and that's the beauty of it. But to know that is to take "The Good" with "The Bad". Now, because you might dress decent, that doesn't negate the fact that some people might call you what it is they want: Count Fagula. Coffin Cuddler. Dark Doofuss. Caped ****saders, I could keep going but I'm pretty sure you get the point, at least I hope.

"Freedom of Speech" is a B*tch sometimes, ain't it??

And it's that matter of a truth that makes this country the best, because you can either choose to sit quietly and take it all in stride...and possibly go to jail for Murder in the next five-to-ten FOR five-to-ten....

Or you can do something about it and get it over with.

But you wanna know what the real B*tch of it is, Brian??

That stuff died about ten years ago, regardless of what pathetic, bull**** bands like "The Used" or "My Chemical Romance" or anything else in resemblance might try to dispute with.

And you can't tell me that with that in mind, that wouldn't put you in the spotlight and have you stick out like a sore thumb, because if you were to walk around like you do...

It's just not something I would condone as advice, that's all I'm saying.

As far as (Finger quotes) "Rocking" the "No Ma'am" shirt, hey...it's all part of something that you know nothing about because in all honesty...

You wouldn't get the joke.

See, I know I won't get crap from you Brian because the fact of the matter is that I don't dress like YOU.

Even as redundant as it is for me to tell you, you bring it on yourself Brian. Yeah, I wear "No Ma'am" shirts to Looney's, I wear them other places too. But the difference between you and me is that for one: I'm normal. and two: I make this look GOOD.

While you might go for the ballroom dancing angle, I'm over at the bar slammin' down shots and making it with Tatum O'Neal and that dirty b*tch Wells is teachin' Courtney Love how to play Pin Ball from BEHIND "Bad Santa"-style, if you know what I mean. But you go ahead and tease me for finally getting back a belt that I NEVER TRULY LOST.

At least people know I have it, let-a-lone know who I am.

If by some hook or crook you manage to win this title from me, Brian, I wouldn't take it out with you into public.

Not dressed like...YOU anyway. Doing that in a public place will have people mistaking you as either thief or even worse...someone who's to be taken seriously.

And like I've said before...if I am having trouble believing you with you dressed like that...

(Cruise shrugs his shoulders)

It's pretty much without question that everyone else would too.

But never you worry about the World Title, First. I'm not bitter that Melton held the title, his track record at least tells people who he is. Besides, you have to get past me first to make yourself relevant enough to warrant a shot at the World title.

And I honestly think you're alittle overzealous over the fact that you even had a shot.

The fact is Brian is that Vin Diesal had it right to begin with; "Whether you win by an inch by a mile, WINNING IS WINNING."

And God help me if I haven't been doing alot of that over the last year.

I KNOW what it is to go up against Sean Stevens, title or not on the line, but the fact remains is that he has no bearing on what's at stake at the moment.

You want great??

Stalker put Rocko out of wrestling for quite sometime and even gave Ice 'Tre a run for his money as well as Fusenshoff, but when he brought me over to see what he was like in "Stalker's World"??

He's never once beaten me, not to mention I shut his "World" DOWN.

If Destiny is "smiling upon you" it's because you got your pants down to your ankles in public and there's more than just a slight breeze.

In other words, "she" thinks you're a joke.

If she's smiling on anyone, believe it or not she's actually accounting for taste. You're just not really the type to fit into that particular category, First.

You clain that there'll never be a Cruise Era or an Anthology Era in EPW....", but yet I smile everytime I see a preview or a poster marking the marquee with either myself, Hart, Tact and/or Wells.

Because regardless of where it's at...anyone of us in Anthology have at one time or another been higher than you on totem pole. Don't mistake Shawn Hart starting out the show for lack of talent or savoir-faire; he can definately hold his own.

Hell, you should see what that cat can do in a bar.

(The camera pans in for a short close up.)

It's a MINDBLOWER, it really is.

But the bottom line of it all First, is that Fact is better than Fiction, and no matter how twist it....when we meet inside the ring at Wrestleverse, this is gonna be one heck of a REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.

(Cruise finally walks up to Looney's, past the line of people who have been waiting for more than twenty minutes, and stops in front of a man dressed like a bad version of The Fonz". He sizes up the man and then points down at the mans shoes and tells him about a shoe that could be untied, but when the man looks, Cruise slaps the man in the back of the head, sending the man to the ground as he continues walking up to the front door, laughing all the way. Stepping up to doorman that looks almost like Tank Abbott, Cruise slaps hands with him in a greeting.)

CRUISE: Ben!!!

B: I knew it was a matter of time before you showed up. What's up??

CRUISE: Where's that dirty ***** Wells??

B: You know where to find him, over by the stage area on the other side of the bar.

(Cruise claps him on the shoulder as he walks in, in the process lighting up the crowd. Walking up to Wells, who also has one half of the EPW Tag Team Championship titles on his own shoulder, Jared sees him and throws an arm around Cruise.)

JARED WELLS: Finally THE CHAMP is here! Don't worry, Daddy is only ten deep and walking the plank....

(As Wells continues on, they both sit back down and take drinks that are brought to them by the houseband, raise them and proceed to have themselves a night as only "The Dangle Brothers" can.)
