On the small balcony of his apartment, Rain Blackheart is sitting on a lawn chair while sipping a drink and watching the sunset…
Rain: “Beautiful sight isn’t it? The sunset in the desert sky away from the lights of the Vegas strip, a gentle breeze and a cold beverage. It’s a time to recharge and prepare for the next challenge, the next step towards my evitable becoming the UPW Sin City Champion. But after the Dead Man’s Hand match, I needed a little time to recover before I get back to business. However there is something I believe need to be addressed…
“Now Summer, can I call you Summer? I’m going to call you Summer because this is important and you should really pay attention. (takes a long sip of his drink) Oh, this? Just ginger ale and some ice. It’s not time to celebrate as of yet. OK, now Summer you got a few things close to correct but let me clarify for everyone listening. I AM the best technical wrestler in UPW, it’s not open for argument it’s just the fact of the matter. Although it has been proven that I am not unbeatable, it does not mean you won’t get beaten when you are in the ring with me. Luck is for the unskilled and undereducated. I either win or I lose, and if that loss is due to outside involvement then I will have to eventually return the favor.
“Now you think I’ve become darker? Developed a bad attitude? No, no, no. What you are seeing is the tapping into my full potential. It is unlocking the full extent of my abilities and using them to become the wrestling professional that you see before you. And what you call a bad attitude is just acceptance of the truth of the situation, I am as good as I know I am. Call it confidence, call it ego, just remember that at the end of the match to call me the victor.
“You’re right, the alliance is not a stable… hell I wouldn’t even say it is stable period. Just a group that wanted to try and prove something, and you did just that. You proved that when it comes down to it, the Black Hand will continue dominating UPW. Win or lose, we still live rent free in everybody’s head. We become that cold chill that runs up your back that causes you to look around frantically and hope you are not in our way.
“The Ragsdale clan isn’t much better, hell I wish they would give us something to worry about. At least by reputation the fabulous Pixilicious is a potential threat. Hell, Ruby is a big ol’ boy that can clear a bar room and Maddox, well even he held his own for as long as he could. (taps his chest) for that you get a bit of my respect. But Cliff’s little flock, not so much.
“Even though I am within grasp of the Sin City title, there is still a match that we are going into. THC and Disorganized Chaos against the Black Hand. I’m not too worried about that, Jester and Ariana will bring some fight but THC is what you get when you order Wicked off of WISH. A pale comparison that wants to be a big dog. No children, not today. Not next Friday. Not ever. And the whole world will see.
“And Kruger, I’ll tell you what. You want to leave your mark and blaze your trail; I get that so here’s a little invitation to you. WHEN I become Sin City Champion, I would welcome you to become a challenger and we will see what a monster can do against THE wrestling professional. (takes another sip and leans back in his chair) Beautiful sunset. But not as beautiful as when the sun sets on DeHaven’s Sin City reign. Until then, I have to prepare for a match that could become ANYTHING when the D20 decides. And I will be ready for that challenge. So keep a shine on my belt Dillan, I want to see my face in it when the ref hands it over to me. It's going to happen, so get yourself ready and I'll see you in the ring.”
