It’s early Saturday morning at following UPW Friday Night Free For All Episode XXXIII, it will be several hours before the ring crew starts breaking down the set. Dim lighting makes it difficult to see but foot steps are heard as someone walks the empty entrance way to the ring. The figure walks to ringside and takes a chair, he throws the chair into the ring with a ‘clank!’ as metal hits the ring mat. The figure then walks up the steel ring steps, enters the ring, sets up the chair and then stands mid ring as some lights come up and reveals Rain Blackheart…
Rain: “Just a few hours ago, I showed the world once again the difference between a self-proclaimed wrestler with a carney manager directing him and an in- ring professional. Murphy you may be a former tag champion, but it is so obvious that your partner does all the heavy lifting. I get why the Ragsdale Cult see you as the weak link because that’s just what you are. Hell, it looked like you had the match won but your inexperience and ideocracy became apparent. And what happened next? You blew up, you couldn’t even stay conscious long enough to tap out. And it’s not like you put up much of a fight, you just faded into darkness with little effort on my part. And then I just used you an example for the actual threat of your clan, the man holding MY Sin City Title, Dillan DeHaven.
“Were you paying attention Duke? Did you learn anything by watching what I did to your boy? You think you’ll be able to climb up and grab a flag much less just stand up after some time in the calf crusher? Or an ankle lock? A figure four? A sharpshooter? A step over STF? Take you pick, I can apply all those and plenty more and those are just leg focused holds. It’s going to take more than size and weight to overpower me, it’ll take factors you don’t have Dillan. It’ll take skill, talent, ability, knowledge, experience, intelligence, adaptability… all things you don’t possess. All things that not even your great value grand wizard can instill upon you. I’ve said all this before, but I get it, lots of words confuse your overworked grey matter so I’ll say this as simply as possible…. You. Can’t. Beat. Me.
“You see wrestling is what I do, this is my career, (holds his arms open) and this is my office, this is where my work gets done. And next is the 8 man tag, Dillan, Nathaniel, Jester, Ariana against the Apex of UPW, the upper echelon of wrestling, Miller, Diaz, Blackheart and Bishop… the Black Hand. Win or lose it’s just a warmup to my primary objective, becoming the Sin City Champion. (sits down in the chair in the center of the ring)
“And one more thing, this one goes out to Madam Wu and whoever else is calling the shots these days, you want Ultimate Progressive Wrestling to have the best representation possible at End of Days, right? Simple answer just send your champions which will soon be myself, Rated M and Devin Bishop. You want the best to represent the company then look up to the top of the mountain where we stand and ask us very nicely – remember to say please- and maybe we’ll accept or maybe we’ll leave you to choose from the rest and hope they don’t embarrass the company. It’s your call, but we will decide how to answer.
“But every single one of you needs to keep one thing in mind… We are the Black Hand. We do what we want, when we want, to who we want. And right now we want all the belts and after Hostile Fury the Apex will be drenched in gold as we should be.”
