*The lights go black as blue and red strobes circle the arena. The speakers blast DT whispering, Do you feel trapped? The Xtremetron flashes: The Main Attraction: Showing Now. The opening riffs of "Deny Me" by SOiL blare through the speakers. The tron shows a loop of assorted clips with DT walking the ramp, taunting in the ring, speaking on the mic from his promos, and the text Death Trap! XHF World Heavyweight Champion in red bubble letters crashing into the screen causing the background behind it to go black.
Tell me does your pride bleed
When you see me succeed
Is that the gist of your story
Now you had best get used to it
Cause I ain't about to quit
And Im just now getting started
Death Trap steps out onto the ramp in his Death Trap Feelin Trapped? shirt, a necklace, trademark black bowl cap, and black shades. He has on his black leather pants, black boots, and black wristbands. On his waist is clasped the Xtreme Hardcore Federation World Heavyweight Championship. He hops from left leg to right and back twice and laughs evilly. He cracks his neck and steps forward onto the ramp. He throws a left jab right hook and then a big front kick at the air in front of him, each move setting off a pyrotechnic eruption. He walks to the crowd and stretches on the barricade as the chorus rings out along with verse 2.
Shame me, claim me or deceive me
You grow sick every time you hear me say believe me
Every time I get one foot up
You want to tear it down
You deny me!
Deceiver!
Every time I get one foot up
you tear it down, knock it down, tear it down
Believer!
Deny me!
I feel your hand on my throat
As well as the knife in my back
And the whole time you keep smiling
What is your reason for this
Why won't your hate just quit
Life would better if you weren't struggling
Death Trap slowly walks down the ramp cracking his knuckles and randomly stopping to mouth off to the crowd, smile and brag. He rubs the belt and throws his hands up in a cross at the base of the ramp and breathes in deep the arenas atmosphere. The tron shows in big bold green letters "Final Judgment will be passed!" as a fireball comes forward and hits and scatters the letters and the screen burns from the center out into a series of clips including one of the X*Crown title match ending in the Final Judgment and DT raising the belt over his head, one of him sending Harry through the brick wall, one of him tossing Reeshi from the Annihilation Complex, and all of his wins over Chris and Curtis Kanyon, however most of the clips are of old ECF victories and it freezes on DT defeating Hardcore Harry and holding up the ECF Title. It zooms in on the ECF Title and lights up saying The legend continues! He slides into the ring and stretches on the ropes as he did before on the barricade. He unclasps the belt and looks at it smiling. He leaps to the middle rope. He looks out over the crowd and then raises the belt over his head and taunts to the crowd. The tron shows clips of him beating on Magnus and eventually his victory and then zooms in on the XHF World Heavyweight Title. He laughs evilly, reclasps the belt, and raises his arms in a cross. The lights brighten. He leaps to the center of the ring and looks off to one side as the tron flashes his picture.
(Believer!) What's wrong with your world
Doesn't taste the same as mine
Aren't the shades the same as mine
Pain, Agony, Regret, Fear
Just dreams whisked away, taken away
So now does your pride still bleed
Every time that I succeed
Now that you know that I'll keep trying
Can your weak mind digest
All that I'm feeding it
He walks to the back of the ring near the timekeepers table and leans on the ropes, arms crossed. He grabs a mic and begins to speak*
: A little while ago before I got into all this gear ... I was talking about the loser I am stuck facing at the pay per view. William Spencer. But see William isn't a threat. William will be executed in due time. However my open challenge was answered by the first real threat over all to me. MGK ... but see here's what I find about MGK ... he is long winded and boring ... seriously he was out here three times without even giving me the time to respond the fucker. But hey I'm the champ and he's eating up my mic time so I'ma pull an MGK and devote one whole session to each of his stealing his spotlight. So let me start with my open challenge ... I asked for a challenge to prove myself ready ... and out comes MGK. I'm thinking, oh, an actual fighter! But after the last two days I've realized something ... MGK isn't a talented fighter ... he simply bores his opponents into weakness before the match with his long-winded repetitive mic sessions and doesn't allow the opponent to even talk! Well MGK I am the fucking Champ, I am the one YOU should be bowing to and showing some level of respect. And when the champ wishes to speak ALL ears will listen and you will damn well like it!
*boos*
: MGK you had best learn your place. I totally understand your reasoning behind wanting to beat me but PISSING ME OFF ... is not the way to go about it. Because believe me ... if you keep at it the way you are and you ANGER the Career Killer ... you will not even MAKE IT to Bonafide Homicide to defend your title. See I am the most dangerous man in the business, but I have no problem with a friendly fight to help you make a name for yourself by hanging in there for a while with the best ... but you are out of line and I also LOVE the chance to put a cocky ass rookie on the shelf and leave him there to gather dust and to ROT! I will teach you a lesson in humility MGK. I am the World Champ not you. I am the best there is and you are in for a PAINFUL and rude awakening if you think that your X*Crown championship makes you better than the World Champ. You think you can hang with me just because you're MGK. Oh sure I could make up some stupid name to match your abbreviations but then that would be stooping to your immature and incompetant level and I refuse to do that Mr. MGK. See I have respect for myself enough to know what it is I am doing before I go in and make myself look dumb like you did. You see ... you're little match acceptance speech was OVERRUN with falsehoods!
*mixed reaction from the crowd*
: Don't believe me? Well you will when I'm through here. Let me start with your little rant on Robert Black ... tell me MGK ... did knocking out a mute oafish man from behind make you feel big? I mean does it really make you feel so good that your one man on your list of people you've destroyed is a rookie who was simply with Snake for cheap wins and losing matches? Well I guess you hit the nail on the head when you said that taking him out wouldn't win you any awards would it? Well let me look at my own resume of people who I've knocked out and broken in the last three months ... Well it all started with my return from my injury ... my amazing streak ... Magnus and I broke Mongo and beat him down ... he didn't fight for a week after that and it weakened him enough to lose the belt to Magnus. Then there was Chris Kanyon ... good ol' CK who wanted so bad to finally have a victory over ol' DT but it just WOULDN'T happen! Inside of the match my old stomping grounds made famous, I broke his spirit and his bones. A ton of glass and a frame of steel... and me ... and Chris w...er ... ROLLED out of that match a new, less active man. Chris Kanyon a man who held every belt save mine twice. That's an acomplishment! And he's never beaten me. Then there was Magnus. Magnus who became the FASTEST man to rise the ranks and the first XHF Champ to not have held any belts save the champ when the fed started. A man I trained. And what happened? I put him OUT OF HIS MISERY! I didn't just knock him out, he's been hospitalized for a MONTH! And then of course there is Red Fusion, a man who wouldn't learn his place ... sort of like you now! What happened? I made him, the submission champ, tap out like a useless child, not once but TWICE in the same night. Oh but he came back to prove himself my equal ... and I put him down for a ten count AND made him tap yet again. I would have put him in the hospital as well if Spencer hadn't interfered. All former champions ... and what happened? I put them all down like ragdolls, like they never even fought in a ring before. I broke them down and ended two of the most promising careers ever!
*boos*
: Oh but I'm sure you think that counts for nothing Mr. X*Crown huh? But here's where your little account breaks apart ... see I didn't GO to the hospital ... I WOKE UP in the hospital. And as soon as I did ... I busted my ass out. Or did you not watch me beat down doctors, nurses, and security on my path to XHF? See I didn't go there just to beat down some mangy British freaks of nature like Spike, I was brought there while out cold and once I was able to decide for myself ... I ... "checked myself out" if you will. *he chuckles* Rest assured nobody in Sheffield is going to want to get hurt for a month while the hospital recovers for forcing me against my will in there. As you can see I feel just fine now MGK. Sure these bandages say I have some external side effects but ... they don't hurt, they don't bug me ... trophies of a victory over a pathetic coward is what they are. See I didn't even complain about Spencer smashing a cinderblock on my head, RKOing me on my title, and beating me while already down from a cheap sneak attack and hitting a tigerbomb on my title. I complained that he stole my shot to end his career by taking the coward's way out.
*boos*
: But oh, a head through a window ... one shot ... into some breakable glass. .. that's so much worse than solid metal on the head and a massive 25 pound piece of CEMENT! But oh you issued an open challenge did you? Oh you didn't hear MGK whining after that week he took off from it. But me, oh I whined, didn't bother wanting to fight ... oh wait ... if I didn't come right out WITH NO TIME OFF nevermind a week and send out an open challenge for the next show ... how is it you had a challenge sitting there to accept? Oh didn't think of that while you're {Mongo Edit: Nah we don't say that anymore} little mind was trying to measure up what was going on did ya? Too bad, I thought I was getting a challenge but I'm facing a guy who probably rode the small school bus his whole life, if ya catch my drift. *he laughs* I find it hilarious the stupid stuff you're trying to pin on me without even THINKING about it first. C'mon MGK did you think I'd let it slide? I'm not the most brilliant strategist in XHF because I'm brain dead! A little insane, yes, braindead? No. But oh nobody answered your challenge! I'm a bad guy and a coward for not accepting your open challenge. See I had matches set up already man. Believe me, I would GLADLY have shut your mouth but if you remember while you were nursing your window wounds I was facing Triple Quake, another former champion. And if you recall I got beat down by two men after that and then a third ATTEMPTED but I beat him to the punch. So I had to get revenge. See revenge always comes first over facing a cocky rookie who got lucky with a title and wants an open challenge. So I went for all three men in a triple threat handicap match. And then Spencer came out and called to me by name! So I figured ... face someone below my level looking for a fight? Or fight someone below my level who went and had the nerve to actually call me out? Well I punished bravery in this case. SO excuse me if I've been a little busy with title contenders to care about some cocky punk! But you know you are half right. I did go looking for someone below my level. Not for an easy win no no, I honestly would love a challenge but ... let's face it ... who here is actually even ON my level to provide me that challenge? You? AJ? Cosmo? Spike? Spencer? No but hey I decided I'd end the career of someone who had no career hope. See I can see you one day after I'm gone being champ. Cosmo and AJ too. Spike? Maybe but he's too insane for me to care. But Spencer ... has proven time and time again he has no shot. So I decided to take him out. After all he's about the same level as you anyhow. But the point is nobody is on the level of Death Trap, the sick sadistic XHF Champion!
*boos*
: But I should try my luck with you? See MGK I don't rely on luck, I rely on talent, skill, ability, and intelligence to win. But you made it sound like I didn't want to fight because of these bumps. I AM THE ONE WHO CHALLENGED REMEMBER??? Geez! How dense are you. Replying to a challenge by saying how I am a coward for not fighting. It's amazing how stupid these newbs get every time around the way. I already said I'm fighting just to prove to the people that these injuries aren't even like scratches and here you are talking about how I should fight with the pain ... WHAT PAIN? Tell me MGK, should I be worried about getting in the ring with you? Is your disease contagious? I mean I'd hate to get a crippling case of stupidity or egotism. I'd hate to end up like you making crap up as I went along and believing it, and thinking everyone should believe it. You disgust me. But see you seem to keep putting yourself in my position. I am the XHF Champ, I'm the standard here MGK remember? Not you! I am the one everyone wants to be. I am the one every fan comes to see because I am entertaining and I am dangerous. You never know who my next victim will be. I'm not the one out here bragging that I came back from someone attacking me and being able to fight. I didn't get my ass kicked by Spencer MGK. I was attacked from behind with a cinderblock and then dropped on my belt TWICE with power moves. But I didn't look for praise because I was willing to fight. I looked for a fight, plain and simple, unlike you ... "Oh I got put through a windshield by Snake! I rule because it only took a week to be ready!" PFFT! Pathetic. If I should be ashamed of being sneak attacked by Spencer and put down with weapons THREE TIMES from behind ... then you should be damn sick at the fact you took a week to heal from Snake attacking you. Let's face it, Spencer has done more in his time here than Snake has. Or is that not good enough for you?
*boos*
: Oh but you've beaten him twice! Oh how dumb of me. Well I beat Snake twice too! So what are you trying to prove? Whatever it is you failed miserably. Let's look at facts ...Oh I see you are trying to prove that because you beat Spencer twice I suck ... oh but look! I've beaten him twice in less than a month and would have been three if he didn't jump me! Ooo that shoots down that theory. It hasn't taken me a month to beat him ... I've beaten him fine, I was trying to be lenient but I can tell that I have to end his career to eliminate him from my hair. But wait ... you didn't do jack crap about him, you went in, beat him once, and left him there just angry at you! Oh bad move. I can tell you this ... I won't let him stay standing this time ... But I don't understand what point you're trying to make because it's obvious that I have owned Spencer this whole month. So where are you coming from here man? In case you didn't notice, both matches we fought ... I didn't struggle, I was struggling to keep the match going for entertainment purposes, we all saw after the Quake match that in one move I can decimate Spencer... so why don't you try KNOWING what you're talking about MGK? I understand it's a problem to try and make your brain actually work but hell ... you should try!
*crowd is actually supporting DT after his making MGK look so foolish*
: Tell me MGK, when did I EVER try and make Spencer look like anything more than a bug on the table about to get smacked by the swatter huh? Wait let me quote you, "He isn't title material ..." Funny ... I could swear I've been saying that to him for the past two YEARS! I never tried to say he was good enough to hold my belt, I've been saying he never was and never will be good enough. Try cleaning your ears, you might actually hear what people are saying instead of assuming they said whatever will benefit you the best. But I want to know MGK. If you can't seem to defend that belt ... how are you adding to its prestige? I remember Rat Bastard as the first two time champ ... and I remember Gravedigger as the best and longest reigning champ ... and I remember Cosmo being the youngest champ ... but I don't think anyone will remember your lackluster reign MGK. See I plan to make this belt the most famous in the world of any fed and make me it's number one holder. See as far as I know, word in the back still says, "XHF Title number one", "watch out for DT. He's ending careers" Word in the back is I'm still the best and what have they been saying of you? "Why doesn't he FIND a challenge when noone replies like DT did?" Yeah you aren't making too much "prestige" for yourself. So according to your logic ... doesn't that mean you are bringing that title to the level of a pitiful hardcore title. Oh and to answer you ... no. No I never attacked Spencer from behind. He came out to attack me and I caught him with an attack and laid him out. I never attacked him from behind. I'm above that. As for me fearing Spencer? Come on! Who the hell fears a washed up never was like Spencer? I fear him about as much as I fear creamed corn ... and creamed corn isn't scary at all. I have an idea for you, a suggestion to better yourself ... before you try to use someone else's logic against them ... learn to use logic of your own first ...
*boos*
: As for fearing you ... the only thing I fear about you is that you might put me to sleep with your boring, drab, long ass speeches about utter BULLSHIT! Do you spend time finding ways to make a fool of yourself before you come out or are you genuinely a moron? As for Magnus ... I am the reason he was in the main event. If I was in the four way I would've won a lot easier than Magnus. But tell me MGK ... how many world titles did you have here? Zero? Oh and Magnus had what one? Wouldn't that imply that maybe since the last time you faced him he IMPROVED and became BETTER than you since he was XHF Champ? I think that's how it works. Because hell, I could go WAY back and talk about your doomsday cage with Gravedigger, you just COULDN'T put him away ... oh but who has six wins on him? Oh me! So by YOUR broken and fractured logic ... that would make me MUCH better than you.
*more boos*
: Face it MGK, I am the Main Attraction. People don't come to see you "pour your heart and soul" into defending when you feel like it like once every three shows. They don't come to watch you act cocky and pin someone who isn't even a wrestler like Copycat. They come for me. They all sit in those seats, buy beer, peanuts, and cotton candy because they want to see Death Trap defend his belt and put some new unlucky sap in the hospital as he marches on in his quest to become the best by beating them all. People come to see the Master of Puppets enforce his will and make the unlucky puppets bow before him. You MGK are meager and insignificant in their eyes. You are not worthy of standing in my presence but since you declared you are ready to have your young career ended ... I'll be more than HAPPY to oblige you!
*the fans still keep booing*
: Look at what you are saying MGK. Spike vs Hardaway, a pathetic series five that SHOULD have been over after three and is boring the fans out of their minds with two guys bloodying each other and then going back and forth to see who is more lame. Reeshi vs. AJ ... a washed up nobody who can't even probably last in the ring taking a cocky kid who really is a nobody and trying to show him his place? Bah nobody wants to see that squash ... You and Snake? Bah Snake isn't even iin the same league as you and Spencer, and he's WAY off of me... but me ... just having the best in the biz in the ring makes it worth seeing. People will flood in after getting beer during Spike's match, getting nachos during AJ's and using the restroom during yours to see DT end Spencer's career. My forced match with Spencer is no different than your choice of Snake. It's the same deal. Snake hasn't won in God knows how long and he is not worthy of the X*Crown. So your logic is once again flawed.
*boos*
: MGK you seem to leave out the big details ... like ... I say I'm the best not because I was ambushed by Spencer because think ... he was SUPPOSED to have entered before me ... I was waiting for my cue ... nobody attacks you there ... but Spencer did. However you seem to have forgotten that I haven't lost a match in three months ... I am undefeated since my return. Oh how did that slip your mind!? Oh and also ... what about your attack at the hands of Snake? If Spencer is the laughing stock and your bitch ... Snake is a fucking clown who nobody even takes seriously anymore from his lack of ability and the idiots he keeps with him. And it only took ONE hit to keep you down ... it took four to put me down ... so let's not even get INTO that because if anything you are twice as bad as me according to your own logic or lack thereof. It doesn't matter WHO he fought, he got his ass handed to him without a challenge. Snake just plain out SUCKS! But hey ... I've had just as many matches with Mueller and Venom ... I've beaten both of them ... I've beaten Mongo, I've beaten Reeshi ... I've beaten every big name in this business and you will be the next one.
*boos*
: I'll take your prescription as well. I mean I've taken three in a match from guys twice as big as you and still fought back ... a kick isn't all that bad and I'll show you just why. I can kick out of any freaking kick to the jaw. You however will have no choice but to tap to my amazing submission skills and there is no recovering from the One of a Kind. You better be ready ...
*Death Trap laughs evilly into the mic before flipping it over his head out of the ring. He raises his arms in a cross as the chorus of Deny Me hits. He rolls out of the ring. He taunts the crowd, arms extended and him spinning, before turning to go up the ramp. The tron rolls another loop of clips of DT exiting the arena, in his corvette, giving the cross over his head, raising the XHF Title over his head after beating Magnus, and the text Final Judgment has been passed. DT gets to the top of the ramp and stops. He looks over his shoulder at the arena, shakes his head and exits. *
