*We fade later in the afternoon from our earlier locker room segment involving Scotty Paine, but again with a familiar set of surroundings as for the second time in hours we see first a locker room door shot of the Conspiracies. However, unlike before the cameraman doesn't even get a chance to actually venture inside on his own, because before he can the door abruptly swings wide open revealing good ole' Scotty himself, this time with “The Queen Of Khaos” Ki Morbid in tow the as the duo steps out. Without even noticing the camera fairly close behind them, Scotty and Ki set off down the hallway with their usual smirks of confidence intact as well, and judging from the direction they were heading it would appear they are on the way toward the afternoon's sellout arena crowd itself! At this juncture, while the two finally begin moving further and further ahead of the original cameraman we shift out to an arena shot facing the stage area, an area that's within less than another minute or so re-introduced to the effects of …*
~”Here Comes The Pain” by Slayer hits the PA System~
*Suddenly, the arena lights begin to flicker off and on as the crowd rises to its feet immediately in anticipation, a combination of loud guitar riffs and the following words slowly begin to echo & scroll across the AXW's own looming Xtreme-Tron above*
”I am the new hell on earth
The lord of agony divine
Domination, intimidation
Lives within these eyes
Reign of Power
Remorseless anarchy
I am arrogance in the flesh
Unleashed intensity” …
*Thereafter, the daunting tune of "Here Comes The Pain" by Slayer plays on the PA as the AXW's own “The Crow” Scotty Paine emerges from behind the curtain with the dark, yet lovely Ki Morbid by his side. Once they finished making their way down the ramp to a deafening uproar of crowd pops, this highly-deranged AXW-Legend then finishes making his way up the ring steps, taking great care to assist his Vixen of a young woman counterpart inside initially. Once inside the ring, moments later. Himself, he proceeds to lean over toward the ropes and taunt off momentarily to this entire sellout crowd joining us here tonight, followed by moving to fiercely grab the nearest mic and make his way to stand directly in the center of the ring. Not too long afterward, continuing to be greeted by a mixture of the aforementioned crowd reactions. Scotty finally raises a hand to signal quiet, whereupon he prepares to speak momentarily toward this sellout AXW crowd on hand for the afternoon*
~Scotty~
Quite simply, legacies …
*Impressive opening pop for this phrase of The Hardcore Legend*
~Scotty~
Indeed …in such a business, an industry, a routine, and daily way of life as this is non-stop for every single man and woman back there in the back …who belongs to this company, in such an atmosphere as that we all come to know and learn over time just how pivotal the art of forming your own legacy, as a combatant in this very ring is ...you know, there was a time once when as some of you may well remember …I myself hoped, dreamed, and prayed at every possible opportunity to begin forming a legacy all my own in Authentic Xtreme Wrestling ...Many a day before I was even thought of as being associated with professional wrestling, I would sit in the back or at home on my couch as a young man. I'd sit back there excitedly watching my own Brothers, my own family members, my own flesh and blood. Thomas and Jaysen as they gradually developed their own legacies …step by pain’s taking step. For instance, Thomas as you all know formed his legacy by after many miserably failed Hardcore Title attempts joining Venom as "Kaine", joining him to become an infinite symbol of tag-team wrestling and to capture something that I'm sure will always be close to his heart in his ASW Tag Team Championship reign. One earned over three equally famous tandems on AHW Xtreme X-Mas of '02 …if you'll recall? Then, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt …Thomas hit it unbelievably big in the XWA to form his own legacy too, he went from some no-name, lackluster jobber in Pure Title contention to gaining the support of Adin and in turn the first of two North American Titles, and eventually Thomas went on to face his eternally greatest rival in Genocide sometime later on the grandest stage of them all, Rapture in the Main Event for the Undisputed Championship, a title which in relation to his most recent North American Title reign, he still lives and breathes for to this day.
*Scotty pauses for a moment, as the crowd gives off another mixed reaction. He walks around the ring, as he speaks again*
~Scotty~
So yes, with this in mind anyone and everyone who knows me as an AXW Legend, well enough knows that coming from the family dynasty of The Asylum talent that I do …I'm expected and assumed to be highly bred for success at certain points, the success of majorly memorable proportions when it comes right down to it …And speaking of this type success, I'd have to very much place this upcoming Xtreme Rulez Match of mine right up there as the one of the best I'll ever behold …No doubt about it!!
*Yet, another pause as Scotty picks up the pace of his movement in the ring. Then, out of nowhere. He stops dead in the middle of the ring, as he continues speaking*
~Scotty~
But hey, surprising as this may sound to some …I'd be lying if I said, I didn't enjoy the sheer thrill of having to perform under such pressure-filled circumstances as the ones currently placed on me by those such as Thomas …when this type of pressure is soon enough on it's a given I'm expected to have my best showing to date as an AXW wrestler this Pay-Per-View night. Hades, if anything I feed, I thrive, and I leech off insane amounts of pressure, being in these types of competitive tight spots gives me just the right amount of drive I need to finish what I start inside this ring. Lucia Stavros, since we both know you're watching this …come November 12th, you can bet your ass whatever I start will end up properly finished at the end of however much a bloodbath our “warzone” of a matchup deteriorates into …
*A sudden wave of "Holy Shyte" chants starts up, these prompting the next short-lived stint of silence on the mic*
~Scotty~
Oh yes, rest assured there will be more than your everyday amount of bloodshed in this match, there's just no way around it …when two forces such as ourselves are subjected to such a severe collision, and such an unspeakable amount of Paine and suffering at the bare hands of one another …as this is to be between you and me on both a personal, and professional level Stavros.
*Scotty cockily reaches up to scratch his thick goatee in thought before continuing once again*
~Scotty~
In retrospect, truth be told …I've learned more than you will ever know from watching all my past heroes of the Wrestling World …such as Thomas, Aiden, Jaysen, and even Myself at one point form their respective legacies, and come November …when I walk back into AXW Arena through those double entrance doors. Come the mere moment of truth, when I lace up those boots and assume my post in the cross-like position for my entrance, and come to the ultimate point of revelation …when I have my hand raised high above my head, in ecstatic victory. Those Stavros, THOSE are the moments I'll know this is at last my time, my chance, my shot, MY point of achievement at which to say …I've officially broke through as the only AXW anti-hero for all these fans. And that, I've officially and undoubtedly established my own illustrious legacy for years upon years to come! Stavros, the ego I so tightly keep holding and guarded to the confines of my twisted mind, that piece of tarnished memory I currently protect with my life just as those like Thomas and Jaysen have before me, that's an object I treasure with everything I have to offer as a living breathing human being. It's something that if you can attain gives you a lifetime's worth of prestige, adoration, respect, and envy in the AXW. All in all, it's something I'll snap every last motherf*cking bone in your body …if I must pry it from that newly-found death grip you want to have sealed up on it ...Stavros, you still may not be able to understand this …since you're naturally the only one in your family, where ever the Hades you came from to amount to anything in the entire world. But whatever, believe me …I want that title worse than you do for the sake of myself and The Aslyum’s legacy … which can now stretch between potentially three icons in this company. Two other icons, who like me …shall stand up for what they believed is right in their AXW careers, and also just as I shall …they’ll come out on top, when it mattered most!!
*Right then Scotty moves to get directly up and into the lens of the in-ring camera*
~Scotty~
Riddle me this Stavros, if you're so much "Betta" than me, and if you're so very much "Smarta" than me …why is it, you've yet to again show your face out here in the middle of this ring, and why is it …everything you do have to say backstage is in actuality a whooooole lot of nothing, in a nutshell? The absolute essence of retardation in its simplest form? Well, if you'll allow me, and if you the oh-so-gratifyingly Xtreme fans would allow me to …
*Scotty again pauses, as the crowd pops big time for support*
Scotty~
Oh yes, if your figures of AXW society would allow me …I'd like to in closing for the present time answer my own question here. The fact of the matter is, that surprise you're NOT better than me. Believe it or not, you’re NOT smarter than me, you don't possess even half the charisma it takes to keep any belt in your grasp after such a historic event as this November 12th. Really, and truly man …just learn to think and make acceptance of it like this, you're just a never-was of a Rat on the brink of entering the greatest downward spiral of your career in a negatively noticeable way. Meanwhile, in the midst of your head-on collision with a loss …I'm going to as of that night, be heading the exact opposite way as I blow by you in your fall from grace, and surge ahead. Ahead oppositely in the positive of straight up the AXW ladder toward that anxiously awaiting Draven Legacy Championship ahead. Stavros, just like I'm sure in some twisted way …you do have something to prove this November, I must prove to my family members, my legions upon legions of loyal Asylum Mates, and most of all myself ….that MY day of forming MY everlasting legacy is at hand. It's time the tides were turned for the good side in this battle, and come that night Stavros …come Revenge. You better be ready to “Feel The Paine” my utterly useless, excuse of a challenger …for I as the next link in my ever-famous and sadistic family have got one hades ...Of A Legacy To Live Life Up To!!
*"Here Comes The Pain" re-hits across the P.A system, prompting Scotty to carelessly toss his mic aside and make his way to taunt off consecutively from all four turnbuckles, with each corner drawing a deafening roar of approval from everyone in the crowd. Afterward, holding up 2 lone fingers toward the camera to signify the number of weeks remaining for Shinobu to get prepared for their match. Both Scotty & Ki exit the ring to make their way slowly up the ramp, and to the back ahead in a heavily confident fashion as always. The camera fades to darkness*
