DING! DING!! DING!!!

Frank Salazar: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by submission and STILL the XHF X*Crown champion, Zoran Sainovic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*MASSIVE BOOS*

Andrew Fulton: Crowd does not like that! I think they were really pulling for Soutter by the end of it. Especially when he stood up for Tanner unlike some fan favourites I could mention.

[Catching his breathe, Zoran Sainovic brings his fist down on Soutter’s face, again and again, letting out a visceral growl at the sheer ferocity of that defence. Is his hand broken? Just when he’s ready to slump over in exhaustion, he looks up at the match’s only live spectator. He’s holding the X*Crown actual crown. He looks familiar. Zoran wipes the blood from his eyes.]

Jeremy Tucker: Isn’t that…?

*MONSTER POP*

: No LEGOs to save you this time.

[The MCCW star tosses the crown to the barely breathing champion. If looks could kill.]

Jeremy Tucker: MCCW’s Death Trap has been out on the streets following these two around! One of the odds on favourites for the rumble, AND one of the men that Zoran defeated for the crown, is here sizing up his competition!

Andrew Fulton: Death Trap and Zoran Sainovic starring each other down. If these two are actually in the ring together at the Rumble, talk about explosions!

Jeremy Tucker: The crowd watching this on the Tron is actually CHANTING Death Trap’s name! The SWAT fans HATE Zoran Sainovic so much that they would rather see MCCW take the titles than have Zoran retain!

Andrew Fulton: It’s a self-desructive crowd, Jerry, otherwise they wouldn’t be coming to our live shows during this pandemic.

Jeremy Tucker: That is not a word of a lie. Well fans watching from the safety of home, good night! We’ll see Zoran at the XHF Rumble, while the rest of us will be back next week in Spain for Battleground.

[Zoran Sainovic and Death Trap continue their stare down as the camera fades to black.]

*As the SWAT feed fades we get the following bonus footage*

: Nice of you to keep my crown warm for me. It’s a nice touch but even I’m not this narcissistic. Gonna need to have you shine up the ECF title out of the vault since that’s what I’ll be wearing when I win that belt back. Why didn’t I just finish you now? Pfft where’s your sense of sport sir. My honor … it is wounded. No there’s no fun in that. The fans want you to fall to me … and to quote Mr. Bastard … the revolution will be televised. So heal up. And be ready. We have unfinished business der komissar.

*DT turns his back on Zoran and walks away to his corvette knowing Zoran is too beat up to do anything about it.*

---

*We open up again a few minutes later as DT is walking the streets of Manchester.*

: Zoran … Sainovic. Commissioner of SWAT, der komissar, X*Crown Champion. I never did get to rightly congratulate you for being able to capitalize on Maverick’s weakness. So congrats. You did just what I predicted would be the case and used your wits and your wherewithal to come out on top. You won that X*Crown title and took it home to SWAT while the former X*Crown champ and two former world champs went home to their feds empty handed. Props are due and I am not being sarcastic when I say that. You were the wild card. You were the unknown quantity and I knew that was the biggest threat to me. See Maverick I knew how to handle. Lio was a one note guy from the start. I knew how to take them down. But you posed a problem. An unknown. A variable in the system.

*He stops and puts his hands in his pockets and looks up at the night sky. The wind briskly blows past him and his bowler hat sits low over his eyes from the push of the breeze.*

: I fought through about 9 finishers from Maverick. I was ready to go all day. But you were able to powerbomb Lio and I causing Mav to fly farther than expected, far enough I couldn’t break the count. So rightfully, good job. But see then I sat down to watch you defend that title. And it’s clear that you needed the situation the way it was to win. You needed us to take down Mav for you. You needed us to get into a position where you could capitalize with one big move and have us be far enough away to prevent us from stopping you. Because you sir, can’t stand toe to toe with anyone can you. A pillow fort of doom … a pit of carkoon where you had someone else take the beating for you before sneaking in … and now a street fight with an old man who much like you had been away from the ring where you only won because he cared more about his associate than the title. It sickens me. To see the X*Crown once again in the hands of someone who just abuses his power to keep it. Relies on tricks and interference and games and made up rules to hold onto the title. You make it seem as if the title is in good hands but you sir are a snake.

*He starts walking again to reclaim his car.*

: You might as well just call yourself Mongo 2.0. Mongo always held his titles through the same cheap tactics. Like you he was a schemer and a competent if not spectacular wrestler. But he had his corporation and the power of the boss to throw at whoever challenged him. Just like you in SWAT. And I was ready to come out here and call you out on it and say how it won’t work but … this is the XHF Rumble. And I am not naïve. You may not be able to game the rules and set the stage for yourself but there is nothing stopping you from cheating or having your cronies run in and save your ass. So once again we are left in a clusterfuck fight where you hold every advantage don’t we? Sure anyone else is also free to use weapons and cheat and have interference run for them but you are really the only one with the clout to guarantee it. As far as I know the heads of the other feds aren’t involved. Mongo isn’t involved, Bobby Barratt isn’t involved. So that leaves you and any SWAT wrestler foolish enough to believe you will give them something … or not fire them … if they help you out. And sad as it may be my ability to somehow resurrect after weapon strikes and big moves won’t do me any good if four guys come out and just pull me over the ropes now will it. It poses a big question … how do I deal with Zoran Sainovic?

*He grabs the camera and pulls it close to his face.*

: Well let me “break it down” for ya Zoran. Step one: Survive as I always do until the music hits and der kommissar hits the ring. Step 2: Give no respite, punish the man before anyone else can get the chance and before any shenanigans. Put you down hard and choke you out with the Death Trap. Step 3: … Well at that point either I or anyone else smart enough to target the champion and remove him can dump you out and render help on your behalf pointless. Of course everyone has a plan until they don’t so I’m open to improvisations. After all me remaining IN the ring is far more important than you going out … at first. I want to be the one to throw you out so everyone knows I am the man to beat. But … I’m not a young fool anymore. And winning this match is the main goal here. So maybe, just maybe you and I get to beat each other up and I get to show you what a true champion can do. Or maybe we don’t? And maybe someone else decides to take you down first. As much as I would LOVE to be the one to claim you as my prize … as long as I walk out with your crown … we’ll call it even.

*He shoves the camera away as he begins walking, his car visible in the distance.*

: You know it’s funny, I never thought Anthony Caffrey and I would have something to agree on. But see he’s the only one who seems to get it, who treats you like an actual threat. Oh sure, one on one with skills the only thing to rely on … I am leaps and bounds above you sir. I may be an “old man” in the business but you are just an old man. And while this street fight shows, yeah you can take a pounding, if Paul was a better wrestler and strategist he could have taken you down. He was out to hurt you, to make an example of you. But you are … to quote the King Asshole one more time: the most resourceful man in the XHF. You somehow are managing to fly under the radar while getting the champion advantage of entering last and knowing who is left in the ring when you arrive. I can guarantee you will be bringing some weapons and likely friends to the rumble as it continues on after you stumble into the ring. And that makes you dangerous. Not unique mind you, I’m sure Dylan’s love affair with his baseball bat and whatever he does with that robot hand in isolation could tell ya that beating people up and hurting them is not a one man strategy. Or beating off a man … he was related to Jeffrey Viper who knows what he … “learned”.

*He shudders*

: It is interesting to see where the focus is among these wrestlers in the rumble. So many seem to be concerned with Anthony Caffrey … and I don’t understand why. He’s nothing special, he proved that once he lost to Draven. Hasn’t been the same since. I see a lot of talk about LGBTKO and Ratty … but then you have some big names who it seems nobody wants to talk about. Barely anyone mentioned the champ, you … Cross Recoba and Chris Card are going mostly unnoticed despite the pedigree lying there … has anyone even mentioned Draven yet? Or how about a former 2 time X*Crown champ Jack Diamond? And then there’s me. Really only Mistress Discipline, Rat Bastard … we have a history, … and you even bothered to mention me. But then you were just in the ring with me … so it makes sense to talk about the man you KNOW is there to take you out. Caffrey doesn’t scare you, your SWAT pals don’t scare you, these random names from other feds aren’t on your radar enough to threaten you … but me? You know full well what I bring to the table and that’s why I was the only name you had on your lips when starting this promotion cycle. You wisely found the most important target and locked your focus. Commendations there kommissar, you are the first person to understand that I am somehow an underdog and the favorite going into this thing.

*DT smirks*

: That said, I must admit the prank the XHFNetwork.com crew played on Mongo was hilarious but it wasn’t my idea. They just knew that it was either me or Rat who would LOGICALLY try and overthrow the big doofus and well, I’m the narcissist of the two of us so they used my image quite without my consent, though I admit it was funny. But it shows that you know precious little about me. I have never been one to go for the crazy high production values on my promos. I was born in the era of face to face banter at house shows and it really took a lot of learning and overcoming habits to even do this style of vignette to camera. Hell I’m basically just stealing whatever production you had for SWAT just to cut this promo. Thanks bro. Aleister, Mongo and myself all thank you for your contributions.

*He smiles and winks to the camera*

: Zoran tell me … does the government of whatever country you are from and wherever SWAT is actually headquartered know about you holding full blown shows with a full arena? I mean AWF has had no fans in their arenas, MCCW did that then put the whole company on hold because it VALUES the health and wellbeing of its workers. I mean Mongo doesn’t but we all knew that about Mongo and he found a work around. I’d rip into him more about his lack of care for his employees and his shady business practices but hey, as you said I care more about me than Mongo and I get my X*Crown title shot out of this deal so who am I to complain? Note: DT doesn’t actually support Mongo and truly believes he has the leftovers from his obvious liposuction hidden in a closet somewhere in some backassward shrine to himself. Meanwhile you are bringing fans out to petri dishes of arenas to all get sick BUT won’t actually show up yourself to those shows. Odd that huh… But hey you “showed up” didn’t you. Everyone give Zoran the prize for most magnanimous fucking authority figure this side of the Berlin Wall. He showed up … on video … while he and two other people at a time stayed far away from the group gathering he forced on everyone else in the company! Честитам der komissar! You are objectively as bad as Mongo!

*DT reaches his car and unlocks it*

: Zoran, here’s the main take away here. We both know that I am the biggest threat to your title reign. Sure there is a two time X*Crown winner in there in Jack. Sure there are some huge names in there. But there’s only one Death Trap. And he’s not out to be the final boss, the big boss, the boss baby, or the big bossman. I’m already the Main Attraction! And if you don’t mind, I’ll forego your advice to stay in the shadows away from your title. I’ll be out there in the ring, doing what I do best. Claiming the spotlight, hogging the glory, and pissing off every SWAT, AWF, J-ROK, DW, Mongo Corp, and whoever else fanboy and bringing that title back to MCCW around the waist of a true champion. You may try to spin the fact that I NEED big wins … but the fact remains that unlike most everyone in this match … I am reliably able to GET those big wins. This is just the next one. So to borrow a quote from another popular competitor in this match … Thank you … next!

*He hops in the car and abandons the SWAT cameraguy on the street as he speeds off to who knows where.*
