(Ah I see. Understandable ^_^')

"A fine morning, cowards and corpses!"

The static fades, and the camera pulls out from the TV for a wide shot of the room from the last 'vignette' of sorts. It's better decorated, a wall of flatscreen and CRT televisions turning off and on in patterns, some sort of biomechanical forest swaying in a nonexistent breeze, various electronics and flora interspersed throughout the area, and then the sways over to the left, and to a waving android, and a group of shadows standing behind them.

"Well, well, well! We have almost made it to the first ever PLAAYMania, with only two people being unable to compete at all, and only one having to do so while badly injured." The android leans back in his chair/throne, and nonchalantly opens a nearby.... mini...fridge. ....Right. They reach in and pull out a ice-cold bottle of Mr. Pibb. "It probably says a lot that the number is better than we expected, even with one of the missing being one of the scariest people in the company." He glances at the bottle, opens it, taking a sip through the gas mask *somehow*.

"Big event, really. Every title on the line, a rivalry from a promotion that has lingered long after the richly deserved death of the group it originated in. A man of dark secrets defending his title from a man with no morals, the biggest title in the company being defended against a man with a beard that did *nothing* in the match that earned him his shot, against one of the biggest names in wrestling history, a walking legend, who is also one of the weirdest men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We also have a battle royale that will hopefully honouring the legacy of the greatest all-around veteran of over 50 years, Mr. Harley Race, because if it *doesn't*, everyone involve will have to answer to us for their incompetence and insolence."

They lean forward, mask's... eyes... gleaming? "However, those are not the reasons we are here today, are they?" They stand, fist curling, head turned to the side. "Noooooo, no no. We are here to discuss a very... personal... matter, and a comparatively minor matter of prestige... and a match with one of the most frightening beings in this entire multiverse." They look back at the camera, and... despite the mask obscuring any facial features, the lower half flashes... sharp, pointy teeth, very much like a shark's, as they begin pacing. "Miss Bangladesh DuPree, sky pirate, psychopath, truely beautiful person, one of the reasons the UCA title actually has some prestige now, a truly formidable hand-to-hand fighter... and someone I have been wanting to have a match with for a long, long time, but have never had to opportunity to do so before this upcoming night."

They pause, shiver. "...I just wish you hadn't made it... personal, Miss DuPree. Always thought it'd be a fun match against an amazing brawler and hardcore badass, and we could do some amazing things in the ring together." The gas mask's 'eyes' fade to dark. "...Then... you... did what you did. I do not mind the sneak attack and beating, I'm honestly impressed ya pulled that off, and at your planning." The mask darkens further. "...I speak of your destruction of my mentor's phylactery, and of my former body's method of returning to this plane of existence. ...Granted, considering where that meatsack's apparently found himself-"

(TVs turn on, CPU runs by with his arms in the air screaming- "WHY ARE THERE SNOW TROLLS IN RIVERWOOD-")

The android pauses. And both they and the shadows behind them slap their faces in unison.

(Continued in next post)
---

"...A-anyway..." ECHO coughs, tries to get back on track. "Your actions a little less than a month ago were... a little upsetting, to say the least. They're the final reason the Old Man will never return to this ring..." (Muttering under their breath: "...Probably at least. You never know in this business. Bryan came back and Shibata's still considering it-") "And the reason this body is where I will remain for the foreseeable future."

They stretch their arm, rolling up one of their sleeves, revealing a pulsating mass of cables and flesh, in equal parts frustrated and admiring before they roll the sleeve back down. "However, the results of your actions are not my issue at this time, no, no... it is the manner in which you composed yourself as you carried them out. That grin, your eyes... the sheer disrespect of the Old Man's legacy. That is not something I can abide, even from someone that scares me as much as you do, and especially from someone who I respect as much as I do."

They... remove the mask as they step into the shadows, taking a large chug from the bottle of Mr. Pibb and wiping the sweat from their face, before replacing it. "Your... compatriots, however. The Brit, my former body's employer, and the dictator, your bo-" ...They pause. "...Your bo- okay I can't say that phrase in relation to that man without wanting to be sick into my mask. You can do better, Mrs. DuPree." They shake their head. "Those two, on the other hand... I don't have much use for, but yet... I can't really afford to ignore. You're a smart person, Bang. I know you'll use anything at anyone at your disposal get ahead of an opponent, and I can't fault you for it."

They step back into the light, nod at the shadows behind them. "That, however, is part of the reason I have the Council, now. They aren't technically under B8WL contract only a request from yours truly, so they can't legally be at ringside... but there's nothing saying, as far as I am aware, that they can't prevent interference from known quantities from getting to the ring." They tilt their head... smiling? "So, while two of my friends and compatriots are... dealing with that problem, hopefully... (The long raven haired man from bearing leans into the light and winks, as does a short-haired redhead, although her hair hides hers, before they go back into the darkness.)

"We'll have the ring to ourselves, barring... the eventual unexpected circumstances. And as such, I have a proposal, Mrs. DuPress." They lean forward. "I'm not about to deny you your ingenuity and penchant for violence, only the numbers gamethat I don't believe you need. Our esteemed GM, using that... bizarre service I can't figure out how to use..." A pause, then double dope slaps from the people in the shadows. "OW- hnnn.... has already made adjustments to the rivalry and B8WL match... I propose a "Mechanicsburg Death Match". Simpler than it sounds, best 2 of 3, falls count anywhere contest, and we bring our own weapons instead of taxing the B8WL's budget further than it's already been stretched. It *should*, additionally, lessen the chances of... the usual heckery that tends to happen at our big PPVs. It's your choice... (Muttering.... "Along with the bookers, I didn't actually clear the idea with them beforehand this time-") and I will, happily, await your response, Mrs. DuPree. You know where to find me."

They finish the bottle, and snap their fingers. ...The camera doesn't turn off. "..." And there is giggling heard from off camera, as a flush crosses their face, and they get up to begin yelling at the person offscreen before the screen switches back to static.)

(Yeah I think I can make that happen easily enough! [note to self: use the object match rules] Since you're the first one to think of 2 out of 3 falls I'll let you pick how that part is handled, at least for this time. So normally, wrestlers accumulate points, and once you get enough you start going for pinfalls or finishers. What do you think should happen after each fall?
A) All points reset (blank slate every fall)
B) Winner's points reset (very likely to go 1-1 with an advantage to the first to score)
C) Winner's points partially reset (they lose like a third of their points, as if they just missed a pin attempt. May or may not favor one side over the other. Falls after the first will be pretty short. Probably less weapon usage, in this case.)

I could see using any of those, so pick one and I'll see how it goes in practice)

---

(B seems the most apropos, C seems the most *accurate?* A has a good chance of being the longest but considering the proposed match, a few reboot feels a *bit* unlikely. ^_^' B.)

Fair enough

David Ponte.. Remember me? Remember how i took you under my wing in the wrestling world years ago? Its funny to me that youve found a new home and i had to basically beg to have a second look in the wrestling world. I am one of the most dangerous men to ever step into a wrestling ring its ironic that The Miz would need someone to challenge for the Hardcore title. My forte and my specialty. I will not go quietly so you better pack a bag full of weapons to try to beat me with. A new era is starting here in B8 and It all Starts with The Sultan AND IM JUST GETTING STARTED.

Board 8 Wrasslin' League presents PLAAYMania!

-Bowser welcomes us to the show in his own inimitable style, and brings out John Cena for a chat. Cena gives us a paint-by-numbers promo about the spectacle of PLAAYMania, the honor of main eventing, how bad he's gonna whoop Kora, all that. We're off to a surprisingly uneventful start when @Panthera comes out! The Priest of Greed Dario Cueto has been turning MLMF into his personal stooges lately, and no doubt Bowser will be joining his son when he is cleared to wrestle. When that day comes, Panthera will put a stop to Bowser's envious ways, and he calls Cena to witness this as referee. Bowser laughs off the threat, but Cena seems interested. Anyway though, Cena's got a title to retain, and Panth has a battle royal to win.

-The Miz talks about Harley Race's legacy for a bit, and puts over the battle royal in his honor. This will be dedicated to a different recently departed industry figure every "year," and who better to start the tradition?

-Harley Race Memorial Battle Royal: Everybody not scheduled to wrestle otherwise except injured people and it's very likely I put somebody in the wrong pile at some point

Bison starts us off with a half nelson on Flair, then just chucks him over the top! @XIII_rocks has brought his bag of 13 rocks, and lays into @eaedwards6400 and @MajinZidane with it....knocking Boko over the top! Zangief is chasing @ScareChan around the ring until Scare summons Cena to help him out! Cuz, y'know, the champ has nothing better to do. Truth goes straight after Ludwig, landing one of his corkscrew thingies much to his stablemate's confusion. Ludwig pokes him in the eye, trying to settle him down. Bryan stuns @Panthera with a handspring back elbow.

Cena barely even makes it to the ring before Zangief throws Scare onto him. Ludwig got a bit too fired up himself, and accidentally sends Truth out while trying to do a rope burn. Bryan superkicks Panth over the top! Zangief bludgeons Eaed into submission before ejecting him.

Bryan is apologizing to Panth when Ludwig catches him from behind with a dropkick....but the string of OHKOs has come to an end, as Bryan doesn't even go to the apron. The Koopa Kar fixes that!

Your all-heel final four is Bison, XIII, Zangief, and Ludwig. Zangief appears to be the target of the other three, but YMD are smart enough to hang back while Ludwig charges in and gets lariat'D to heck. Zangief senses the odds, and opens up with a flurry of shots on Bison, but Bison just shrugs it off and hits a Scissors Kick. Bison gets Zangief in a choke hold...and tosses him out before he can catch his breath!

You, Me, and DuPree have already locked this up, but who is the better megalomaniacal brains of the operation? After a staredown, XIII runs in, but Bison simply snapmares him over the top! ...But XIII skins the cat and lands on the apron. XIII battles back, and even manages to get a glancing blow with one of his rocks. XIII gets a chokehold on his subordinate....and drags him over the top for the win!
WINNER: XIII_rocks

---

-YMD have a tense but peaceful celebration as XIII hoists the trophy....but wait, here comes Mario! Mario has plenty to worry about already with the title defense and the spat with ownership and the nagging injury and the mysterious attacker, but it looks like he wants to claim vengeance for the beatdown a couple weeks ago! Mario's a house on fire, but wasn't quite ready to charge into enemy territory, and he soon finds himself on the business end of a pedigree. XIII grabs a mic- he's been on a hot streak ever since his first appearance, and it's time he got recognized for it. This statue of this old guy is a decent start, but he wants to settle the score with Cena! Now, he's not dumb enough to issue an Exile challenge, but he thinks that beating up Cena would be a good way to get back in the title picture afterwards, no matter who has the belt by then! So, he wants Cena (non-title) in a hell in a cell....or better yet, ROCKS IN A BOX. Mario recovers, but chooses to walk away instead of getting in a further altercation.

-HARDCORE: King @Maniac64 v. @Strife2
Strife gets a leg up by running in from the crowd instead of making a regular entrance! However, Maniac rebounds off the ropes with a lariat. Strife falls back to the outside, only to pull a weed whacker out from under the ring and take it to Maniac's face. Maniac pulls out a stop sign. Since he's not Shane Storm, it doesn't work on Strife, but whapping him with it does. Maniac sets the apron on fire, and tosses Strife under it as it gets going! Strife emerges from the other side, but Maniac is ready and waiting with a stomp. Maniac has found the glass display case for the trophy from earlier, and breaks it over Strife's head! ....But that only keeps him down for 1. Maniac goes looking, and pulls out a ladder...just to jump off it! Implant DDT on the broken glass! Even Strife's not getting up from that one.
Winner: Maniac

-Maniac says that Kora's gonna beat Cena even worse than he just beat Strife!

-Cueto tells Eddv that the job is half done for him already, so he'd better be able to pick the bones. Just in case, though...he's got one more trick up his sleeve!

-Mastery of Taybles: Champion Mario v. @Eddv
And here comes the referee....R-Truth? In full MLB umpire gear. One is not sure exactly what advantage a crooked referee will grant in a tables match, but Mario is already half dead anyway, so smart money is on Eddv. Mario throws a punch or two, but there's no power behind it. Eddv shrugs it off and catapults Mario to the outside, t'rew a tayble! Truth holds up a successful field goal sign.
Winner and NEW Master of Taybles: Eddv

-Eddv celebrates with his somewhat ill-gotten gains....and sees a letter set on the turnbuckle. Everybody's confused by it. Eddv opens it and takes a look....and shoves Truth away from him! Eddv looks confused and hurt, and Truth just....looks confused. Eddv leaves separately.

-Hardcore Title: Champion @davidponte v. @TheSultanOfSlam
The announcers question the background of the Sultan as he roars at the crowd. Ludwig comes out to complain that he wasn't given this shot, and Sultan takes advantage of the distraction to clobber david with a fire hydrant and toss him through a leftover tayble from last match. David comes back with the ladder from last match, because recycling is important here in B8WL. He traps Sultan's arms in it and delivers a few kicks to his helpless opponent. Sultan rolls out....and David hits End of Days onto exposed arena floor! Even that's not enough to keep Sultan down, though, and David soon finds himself getting rammed into the Spanish announce table. David retaliates in kind, and gets a 2 count. Sultan gets in a chair shot. David gets the chair away and retaliates with that too. There it is...the UCA Special! ...But Sultan eyepokes out of it.

---

Victory! A title fitting of my destructive prowess!

Behold all you peasant the age of the Knights Radiant is here!

(If only the stop sign had worked lol)
---

-HC Title cont: david v. Sultan
Sultan tries a Camel Clutch, but that's even less effective here, and david manages to slip out the back. David tries a crossbody...but Sultan just catches him and falls onto the discarded chair on top of him! Cover! 1.....2.....3!
Winner and NEW Hardcore Champion: Sultan

-Eddv comes out as Sultan hoists the belt! They're brothers and stuff, y'know, despite Sultan running a foreign heel gimmick. Sultan waves the HC belt at Eddv, and Eddv responds by flaunting the Mastery of Taybles! The tension is palpable- WM20 this ain't.

@IhatethisCPU
-Randy Orton makes an appearance backstage to talk to ECHO. Sometimes legends....just need to be killed. ECHO shouldn't be holding that against Bang or her friends, because no matter how big a legacy is....there's always an Apex Predator in the wings ready to end it. ECHO doesn't respond, but has one eye over their shoulder on the way out for the match.

-UCA Title Mechanicsburg Death Match: Champion Bangladesh DuPree v. ECHO
As a reminder, this is a 2/3 falls count anywhere match, with some limited weapons available. Bang comes out with a walker, mocking Taker; ECHO has lugged a giant oil drum down the ramp, and there is helpfully a large flatscreen TV at ringside just waiting to break on somebody. ECHO shoves the walker backwards, knocking Bang down, but she is back up no sweat. Doesn't save her from the followup dropkick, or from ECHO denting the walker with her skull. They brawl over the rail into the crowd! Bang is first to her feet, and puts the boots to the challenger. She slaps on a Sharpshooter right on the arena steps! ECHO taps out, probably trying to mitigate the damage going into the second fall.
(Bang 1-0)

Bang starts heading back to the ring for more artillery, but ECHO is up and catches her with a lariat off the barricade! ECHO throws in a shot with the walker for old times' sake, although it's getting too Banged up to be all that practical. Still good for a chokeout, though....and then ECHO follows it up with a Spike Piledriver! 1....2....3!
(Tied 1-1)

ECHO's not done, and whips Bang into the ringpost. Bang tries to bring the corner steps into play, but senior official Mike Brown reminds her that's not on the list of permissible weapons. ECHO decides it's time for the oil drum. They go over to fetch it while Bang argues with the ref....wait, when did Bison get here and what was he doing over by the drum? Ah well, it's probably not impor-THE DRUM EXPLODES IN ECHO'S HANDS. ECHO is not particularly responsive as Bang gets the academic pin.
Winner and STILL UCA Champion: Bang

-The announcers decry whatever shadiness YMD just pulled off, as Bang decides to smash the obscenely expensive ChekhovTron 3000 in celebration. ECHO is eventually able to leave under their own power, apparently having some flame-resistant qualities.

-Before Cena's entrance, he gets a promo package talking about some of the greatest sports legends of their time. Cena's legacy of dominance is compared to that of [please insert some current sports megastars]. Out comes TIGER WOODS to walk him to the ring!

((I'm just kinda amused by this result. First, it literally says that the celeb will manage the wrestler "for the rest of the season" and well this is the last show of the season. Also it should give a major popularity boost but Cena's already maxed out. I'd rather give it to @Korayashi but the heel options were Voodoo and the farmer guy from Night Vale, you know, the farmer. Neither of those really seemed to fit his character or the moment!))

---

-B8WL Championship Cage Match: Champion John Cena v. Korayashi
Cena slaps Kora, but Kora just shrugs it off. However, Kora can't see the champ. Crowd gets behind Cena and his mind games, but Kora shuts them up with a closed fist. (garnering strong words from Senior Official Donald Johnson) Cena kicks Kora in the head during a sudden burst of flexibility, but Kora backs up before Cena can follow up. That just lets Cena get a head of steam for a running lariat, though. Kora pulls Cena's weird hair, but Cena manages to reverse that into an arm drag. Kora's starting to get uncharacteristically heated, but Cena's already fired up, and they get into a staredown, then a pushing match, then a screaming match! Maniac's at ringside! He slides brass knuckles through the cage into the ring....but Cena gets to them first! He seems to ponder using them....but he's too goody-goody, and discards them. Hey wait, Kora's been climbing the wall while Cena had a moral quandary! Kora jumps off and spears Cena from halfway up the wall! Cena is broken in half, but Kora's not done! Kora throws the champ into each wall of the cage.....Yokosuka Cutter! 1......2......3!
Winner and NEW B8WL Champ: Kora

-The Knights Radiant celebrate in the ring with Kora! Cena takes a while to find his feet, but is eventually able to pull himself together for a ringside interview with Tony Schiavone. Cena starts to talk about his morals, about underestimating Kora, and about his frustration and wanting a rematch....when Kora comes over and shoves the belt in Cena's face, mocking him! The show closes on a frustrated Cena (and an equally frustrated crowd that just realized that the heels swept Mania)

I think my head hurts...

*Spits out glass and picks it out of teeth*

Fuck.

---

Victory!

Behold peasants, for the glorious age of the Knights Radiant is here!
---

I'll take that team.

---

Who sent this god damn letter.

Was it you CPU
---

I feel like I should say something inspiring even if 45 shows is a kinda arbitrary milestone to call a "season"

But yeah it's cool that we've gotten this far and I am quite glad that y'all seem to be enjoying it and I hope you continue to do so!

---

Woo yeah

Screw you Mario and everyone else up to and including ZANGIEF

Cena you may think steel is unforgiving, wait until you deal with a cell MADE OF ROCKS

---

THIRTEEN (thousand) ROCKS.

---

AND NEW! Woo

---

Alrighty so Exile is coming up next, where all title matches are title v. career, and it's gonna be kinda funky. We have 4 heel champions, and off the top of my head most of our faces are B8ers. I try to avoid putting B8ers careers on the line, but I am curious if any of you would be interested or at least not adverse to any of the following possibilities:

-Continuing on with a Midnight Rider/Mr. America/Juan Cena bit
-Getting fired but choosing your replacement (with the restriction it has to be somebody I know somewhat well)
-Getting fired and just being done with this

I'll figure something out if nobody volunteers, so no pressure. But hey, options are nice! Also not many of you will make it on the PPV otherwise since I'm planning on two non-title matches and one's probably Cena/XIII >_>

CPU did try to talk me out of Exile so maybe I should've listened but I like the idea of rotating people out somewhat frequently to keep stuff fresh! It just gets a bit awkward when half the roster is people I want to be immune from that <_< And last time the challengers went 0-4 lol.

---

I'm not adverse to potentially getting fired and choosing my replacement.

...Although I could probably get away with the first considering I do tend to die, just have to do that to change gimmicks again.

Runback with Bang because of the Bison thing, will.... do more in character potentially tomorrow assume I have power.
---

I like this, so no death for me

---

yay

---

Don't kill me pls

---

don't forget to nom celebs we will run out eventually >_>

Show 2-1

-The Rock welcomes John Cena to a sit-down about his life post-title and his continued feud with @XIII_rocks . Things are pretty normal until the titantron is hijacked! XIII pops up....with Nikki Bella! Nikki has had enough of staying silent, and shares the REAL reason that they aren't together anymore- Cena is a cheater! The crowd is stunned by this allegation, but Cena doesn't seem to have a response. XIII does not make out with Nikki because this is not WWE, but he is enjoying ruining Cena's life and reputation.

- @eaedwards6400 comes out to the ring and talks about how he's looking forward to a rematch with Flair from a couple weeks ago. It'll be great to get a decisive winner and settle the score like me- Flair smacks him from behind with a chair.

-Match: Eaed v. Flair
Flair makes the mistake of trying to brawl with Eaed, and the chair attack didn't quite do enough damage to make that a good idea. After a while, though, Flair's wits prevail, and he is able to take a more technical and tricky approach. Eaed puts up a solid fight, but Flair is just able to outlast him.
Winner: Flair

-Eaed had a good outing, but is clearly getting frustrated with losing yet again. The fans rally behind him as he dusts himself off and heads back up the ramp.

-Cueto calls Cena into his office. Cena should face some further consequences for his actions....he's removed from tonight's main event, putting Scare in a handicap match instead!

-Match: @Panthera v. Ludwig
The Phantom Thief shtick might be the one that sticks, because Panth comes out fired up and loaded for bear. Ludwig's usual array of cheapshots and international objects barely keeps him alive against Panth's speed and focus. @Eddv comes out from the back for emotional support, and Panth immediately starts yelling at him. WHOOPS DISTRACTION SCHOOLBOY. 1....2....3. Ludwig steals one!
Winner: Ludwig

-Ludwig and Eddv celebrate like he just won the world title clean. Panth fumes.

-Flair is celebrating his win over Eaed. Bison tells him not to get ahead of himself. The goal is to keep the UCA title on Bang, and get the world title on XIII. Flair's just the new guy around YMD. Flair takes offense to being talked down to, and gets in Bison's face. XIII has heard enough, and decides that Flair's services are not required at this time. Flair is left sputtering and out of YMD!

@IhatethisCPU
-Match: ECHO v. Bison
ECHO dominates the early stages, but after some heated words, Bison gets his head in the game and fires back. Bison takes over for a bit, and the rest of the match is a bit more even. ECHO weathers all of Bison's shenanigans and even throws in a chair shot for the win.
Winner: ECHO

-Bryan wants to know why Cueto keeps letting all this cheating and thuggery run rampant in B8WL. Cueto simply smiles and replies that he enjoys violence. Bryan had his chance to get on the winning team a few weeks ago, but if he's not going to do that, he'd better start enjoying violence real fast before the Knights Radiant destroy him and his friends tonight.

-Tiger Mask is here! Looks like this is heel Tiger Mask, as he accompanies XIII and Bang to ringside.

-Handicap: @ScareChan v. YMD (UCA Champ Bang and XIII)
This of course was to be a tag match before Cueto removed Cena. Gonna be a long night for Scare, probably. He actually gets the upper hand on Bang early, taking it to the champ and rallying the crowd! She reverses an Irish Whip, causing a ref bump. XIII clobbers Scare with the belt, the ref wakes up for the cover, and that's that.
Winners: YMD

-Backstage, Cena and Rock are upset that they weren't out there to help.

---

-Alphinaud from FFXIV is at ringside! @TheSultanOfSlam gets in his face, then spits on him before getting in the ring.

-Loser defends their title next week: Hardcore Champ Sultan v. Master of Taybles @Eddv
It may be a regular rules match, but that is not gonna stop either of these men from taking a creative approach. Case in point, Sultan wins with a chair shot in a disappointingly short match.
Winner: Sultan

Retcon of earlier Bryan/Cueto bit: In fact, Bryan is replacable, and needs to remember that. Cueto's got some hot new talent coming through the pipes, so why doesn't Bryan take the night off? He'll be replaced in the main event by @davidponte and have time to think about his career.

- Backstage, David runs across Voodoo from Wrestling MPire. Voodoo says that powerful magic is afoot tonight, and David should beware it more than his opponents! Weird.

-Match: @Strife2 , david, and @MajinZidane v. Knights Radiant (B8WL Champ @Korayashi , King @Maniac64 , and Zangief)
David hasn't had a chance to prepare much for this match, and is weirded out by Voodoo on top of that. He starts out for his team anyway, and Maniac just....flattens him for a quick win!
Winners: Knights Radiant

-Strife and Boko are already back up the ramp in disgust, but David isn't having this, and wants a rematch with Maniac....and let's make it HARDCORE! Like in the glory days of UCA! Maniac agrees, but there's one thing B8WL does better than UCA....and that's gang warfare. The Knights jump David and beat him down something awful! David has to be stretchered out after a Spinning Piledriver.

---

Nice to see David back to the role he knows so well.
---

Oof. David getting rekt...

---

((I dunno I wasn't in the groove tonight and I don't feel like the game helped me out much :\ AND pretty much everybody reading this is still a mega-jobber :\ ))

Funny enough, I actually failed as an OT, and went back to retail...

I'm the champion? >_> Of course, I mean. Aha! Go me!

One day, the power of the beard will fail you, and the title will too.

Who want to step up next? The sultan is here to stay. Giving a first class ticket to concussion town.

*Strife stirs around backstage with a pipe in his hand, scraping it against the wall*

People like to tell me that waiting can be a good thing. The want and need to have something come to fruition makes the payoff more satisfying they say. Well then why am I so pissed off right now?

How can I be happy, knowing I have scars and seared flesh from my battles with a chaotic mess? Maybe my brain hasn't fully healed yet, but I know what this is. This is all a game. A game to see ME come unglued in the worst way possible. Kora took away my chance in the Rumble match, and then Maniac finished the job.

But I wonder if they stopped and thought about what that meant. What making ME angry does to people. While I wait and stir in this room Kora is twiddling his beard, shining his newly won championship in everyone's faces. And then, to make matters worse, another burly bearded fuck is assigned as his partner.

*Turns from the wall, throws the pipe against it, and lets the sound reverberate while he turns to the camera*

I want the two of you to know something. I have spent years defying whatever odds were put against me. I made people squeal like pigs while stomping their faces into dirt. All because they underestimated just how sick...how FUN I can make their lives for a "match." And you know....I can't wait to pluck out every....single...beard hair on both your smug asses. I don't care what titles you have, what power you hold, and how many bones you intend to break. I will limp my ass down to the ring if I have to. You could saw off my FUCKING legs, and I would still bite you, scratch you, and rend you until I ended up beating you. And that's what I'm going to do.

That's what WE'RE going to do. I have never teamed with Boko before, but he knows full well what I will do in that ring. I know full well that he is not going to stop until you two dirtbags lick dogshit off our boots and LIKE IT! Doesn't that sound like fun? I hope you can't "wait" to have that happen to you in that ring.

I don't know what I'm going to do when I see you next. All I know is that it is going to be painful, remorseless, and the B8 crowd is going to love every single disgusting second. That is what I do, and no one does it better than I do.

*Picks the pipe back up off the floor*

That is, unless I find you before then. *Leaves*
