*As the above lets us know the recording time of this at the bottom of the screen we open on Lord Dominicus, the DARK LORD of NPW somewhere in the back.*

LD: Jay Stevens. You know I keep rolling your name around in my head. I keep thinking about all those times that Jay Stevens made headlines for NPW. I keep imagining all those days you brought NPW to a global level. And all the blots on this company that you drove out.

*He Domini-thinks for a moment, then throws his arm down.*

LD: Oh wait, no I haven’t. Because you didn’t do any of that. I did though!

*Dominicus spins his finger around a few times before letting it land on his chin.*

LD: Come to think of it, I’ve done a heck of a lot compared to you. You’ve been in NPW probably longer than most of the roster, and yet what has it gotten you? Way back last year when we were subject to the debacle of Carlson, Turner, and Dane destroying the heavyweight division….where were you? What were you doing? I am sorry but I was too busy focusing on making sure the Cruiserweights outshone the guys who can’t get in shape that night. And I did. I did that. I won the Northern Pro Wrestling North American Cruiserweight Championship. I kept this company stable. I did.

*He pauses a moment to let that sink in.*

LD: Now sure, you can say, “Well Lord Dominicus lost two chances at the X*Crown.” But let me ask you something, Jay- how many times have you tried? While everyone was panicked over the destruction of the Canadian titles who was the hand-picked man to go to End of Days and represent Northern Pro Wrestling? Was it you, Jay? Were you the most trusted guy on the roster?

*A quick Domini-think later*

LD: Wait no; that was me too! So I took our business to a global level and helped bring NPW’s stock higher. And that was just October! After that I carried our team into the Lethal Lottery just so you could piss away that opportunity. Meanwhile I had to have the entire Syndicate come out to stop me from becoming the first NPW North American Double Crown Champion. Did I win? No, but my genius plan to send corgis to distract my opponents clearly succeeded because look what it took to stop me!

*He coughs*

LD: Thanks for coming out to even out the numbers, by the way. I didn’t forget. But what about after that, hmmm? You brought up that you did better in the Cruiserweight Cup- and you did. I lost to a guy who became the X*Crown champion and tied with at the time one of the tag champions. Great, I don’t feel bad. Because here’s the thing, Jay. You almost made your name at the Cruiserweight Cup- but I already did. In fact, I was already the top Cruiserweight in NPW BEFORE the Cruiserweight Cup. What you were trying to achieve was something I already was…

*Slowly Dominicus raises into the camera frame the NPW North American Cruiserweight Champion*

LD: …And still am. So go ahead, talk about how you looked better in January. While you were busy not winning the tournament I was busy being the DARK LORD of the Cruiserweight division! I didn’t need to win the tournament and I was managing other stuff anyway! You needed that win and you didn’t get it, did you?

*Suddenly another idea strikes the BLACK CLOUD OF THE NORTH’s mind.*

LD: And what ever happened with Eric Dane and the Syndicate? Did you get to run him out of NPW? Did you pull the keystone out of the Syndicate and free up NPW for stars to shine brighter than ever? Did you save this company from a one-man show whose need for attention was choking the life out of our company?

*He leans in.*

LD: No. I did. And I receive the proper accolade for my effort.

*Slowly the NPW North American Double Crown Championship is raised into the frame.*

LD: I did that. Where have you even been Jay? Because it seems to me that on every level I have done what you have set out to do. Heck, I keep forgetting you work here because you haven’t done much of anything this year! Everything you’ve wanted to do, I did.

*There’s a slight pause as he readies his fingers for a countdown.*

LD: Become the top Cruiserweight? I did. Get a chance at the X*Crown? I did- TWICE! Drive out the cancer in the company? Oh I did that! Re-stabilize NPW’s championships? I did! Heck I did something you couldn’t even think of and became the ONLY Triple Crown Champion! Oh and let’s not forget the months that I’ve spent on and off of being the ONLY singles champion in the company! I did those! Did you put Northern Pro Wrestling on the global radars? No you didn’t even show up to any of those events! I did! Me! Lord Dominicus!

*He points to himself with his thumb.*

LD: I have been doing everything since I debuted and you’ve done nothing but hide in the shadows to get your shot that I’m graciously giving you. So don’t even try to say that I don’t defend because you’re getting your defense just like Niko got his. You didn’t defend jack- I did. And right now? Right now I’m about to do something else.

*He walks over to the gorilla position.*

LD: Hit my music, it’s time that this team gets a real captain. An EVIL Captain!

*The staffer he was talking to nods before Dominicus looks back at the camera.*

LD: So go ahead Jay. Run your mouth and act like your antics mean something. But at the end of the day when people ask you what you did and you try to stutter out some half-hearted excuses don’t forget that what you didn’t- I did.

*”The Bear Song” by Green Jelly hits as Lord Dominicus heads out to once again do something Jay Stevens won’t- lead team NPW into the Call to Arms tournament.*
