[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jan-28-02 AT 04:48 PM (EDT)]{{...FADE-IN: Shane Southern sitting on a balcony over a semi-crowded area of Bourbon Street. Mardi-Gras hasn't offically kicked off yet, so the crowds are minimal. Southern sits, relaxed, holding a glass of lemonade. He's got on a New England Patriots Tom Brady jersey, jeans, and cowboy boots. His hair, neatly pulled back into a pony tail, tucked under a CSWA baseball cap. As Southern sits enjoying the 75 degree temperature, A few people yell up such phrases as "Go get 'em!", and "We're pullin' for you!" Shane takes a sip from his glass of lemonade and smiles...}}

Shane Southern: " We'll it's finally gettin' a little interes'tin. That was quite a little show ya' put on there Evan, too bad I wasn't at that arena or maybe we coulda' hadda' nuther go'round. Didn't figure tha' World title would go to yer head that fast...but ah' well, ta' each his own I suppose. Here's hopin' ya' make it outta' Anniversay with your prop. "

{{...holds up his glass...}}

" Anniversary. I suppose I could take this time n' ramble on n' on 'bout how I look forward ta' matchin' skills with somma' tha' best talent in tha' CSWA, but that's too cliche'. I could use it ta' make some comparisons between myself and Mike Plett, but why state tha' obvious. I could come out n' blabber 'bout how good I am, and how I should just be GIVEN a match with Aho 'cause I just beat him, but I'm not an egotistical, over-the-hill moron. Nah, instead I figured I'd just come out n' talk 'bout me, Shane Southern....good ol' boy taken to tha' extreme....God's answer to tha' question, "Can a hick from New Orleans be that damn good? I want yer attention fer a second so I can talk about what’s been buggin’ Shane Southern."

" Oh what a soap opera I've come into. Makes me feel like I'm playin' tha’ part opposite Susan Lucci or somethin'. I've just gotta' tune in each n' every day ta' see who's havin' Hornet's baby, and who Tom Adler's gonna' piss off next. If I miss a day, I'm sure ta' miss Eli Flair's journey inside himself, and the Playboy love spat and God knows I can't miss who Mike Randalls is goin' kill next. Isn't it all just so interestin'? {{...smiles..}} Wait a minute, but we are wrestlers arn't we? We're supposed ta' bring our personal lives inta' our work, right? It brings in ratin's right? {{...shakes his head..}} I suppose that's why tha' names I just mentioned are legends, wrestlin' in Main Events, makin' headlines...while a WORLD TITLE match at the CSWA's main show gets second billin'. Somebody tell me WHY Evan Aho VS Steve Radder for the CSWA World Title was NOT the Main Event at Primetime?...and don't tell me because nobody cares. That's an insult ta' tha' fans of the CSWA. But I suppose tha' CSWA needs to draw every dollar outta' the legends they can, right? Never mind you got guys like Wicked Sight, Triple X, Cameron Cruise and up until last week Evan Aho, wrestling mid to low card matches because week in and week out the SAME names are Main Eventing. It's time to change things. It's time for tha' young pups ta' challenge tha' ol' dogs for control of tha' yard. "

" That's why this six man battle has me so pumped. It's a chance for tha' young guns to come out firing n' show their stuff. It's a chance for somebody NEW ta' get noticed. You can bet I'm gonna' try my damdest ta' be that man, but if not, I'll be sure n' shake tha' hand of tha' guy that does. I'll pay for a ticket ta' see Evan Aho and Wicked Sight. I'd LOVE ta' watch Triple X get his shot. Hell, not to brag, but you've already seen tha' Aho-Southern show...tell me that shouldn't be a Main Event. "

" Like it or not, the W in CSWA still stands for WRESTLING, n' come Anniversary Two Thousand One, you're ALL gonna' get your fill. Party's Over. "

[/font][font color= red]WS:[/font][font color= black] That's right Shane... It's time for a shake up... And I'm going to cause it, Shane. Trip, can you hear me? I didn't help you, I took care of my own business, but I don't need the rest of my future to help me, either. We'll all be there, one day. But for me... and not for you...

I'll be there the night after Anniversary.

I PROMISE.

It's All About The Benjamins

Ya know, Shane, believe it or not, I agree with NEARLY ever word you just said. And, I know that there's a lot of people runnin' around here thinking that I wouldn't. But, I've made no bones about the fact that I probably got put into this match more because of who I am than anything else.

It's funny, though really. I've been back here for a year. And, yeah, I've touted my record. Show me a wrestler who doesn't and I'll show ya one that doesn't have one worth touting.

But, in the time I've been here... I am the one who has never asked for a title shot. I am the one that dropped out of a contention match for a title. I am the one who said Tyler and I would be better off waiting for a shot at the tag straps. In fact, I am the "Legend" who really hasn't asked for a whole lot of anything since he came back here... yet I am the one who gets the most sh<bleep>t.

You wanna know why a World Title match is an undercard fight when three guys who haven't held a strap in about the same time I have gets the prime time slot? No, it's not because nobody cares. It's because Merritt doesn't care.

The World Title means something to a promotor when somebody that means something to a promotor is actually wrestling for it, or in defense of it.

And that's not a knock on Merritt, either. Because, believe me, it's the same everywhere. The sign may say "No Legends Allowed" on the door. But, that usually just means they wanna make their own legends to push for time outta mind.

And, the bitch of it all is that the men that Merritt cares about, save maybe Hornet, don't care about it either. Why? Because guys like Eli, Love and Randalls know they can make millions WITHOUT the hastle of putting a strap around their waist for no reason other than they've done it before. And, if for some reason Hornet doesn't beat Stanley, don't be surprised if the second World Title match isn't the main event either. Because people are gonna buy that pay per view no matter where their match of choice is on the card.

And, Shane, forgive me for, as another legend once said, hitting you with the cold slap in the face of reality, but neither you, XXX, Cruise, Sight, Poe, or even Radder or Aho are gonna change that any time soon... no matter what you do, or who you beat.

But, if it's of any comfort to ya, it is gonna change soon. Not because Merritt is gonna wake up the day after Anniversary and suddenly realize that one of you is worth placing along side the legends. But because the man who's gonna be wrestling for that World Title after Anniversary already is one.
