(King sits at his desk with a ‘king’ sized portion pizza sitting before him. He closes the box and wipes his hands before addressing the camera.)
King: Well, a damn dine Good Day to you! Welcome to my humble abode.
(He gestures to his office. It’s not a swanky, upmarket affair, but a simple, functional space in which he can work and more importantly, eat.)
Now, all you good people of UPW-land will be getting the chance to have a damn vote. Exercise that damn right! Get up and getting voting! See, Old Bishop, he’s been champ a good long time now and in fairness, he’s done a damn fine job of it. BUT, nothing lasts forever. Not Devin Bishop. Not the Black Hand. Not NUTHIN! So, change is a-happenin’ – happening all the damn time. Some changes are damn big. Others – not so much. Still, we got us a chance to make a real big change with that there vote.
(He lifts the lid and looks fondly at the pizza, smiling as he savours the aroma. He then stops smiling, closes the lid and becomes all business once more.)
Course, we all seen just WHO we gets to vote for. I ain’t got me no real beef with that. Them folks all earned their right to be placed on that there list. All I’m saying is – THINK about it. Think about who you’re voting for. See, them Black Hand types were right quick to point out that Bishop had beaten ‘em all – had beaten Pixi. BUT, he didn’t mention that she’d beaten Him – TWICE! Yeah that’s damn right: twice.
The girl’s been putting in the effort, putting in the work, getting all focussed and shit. She can do it, but can them others?
Oh, I get that the clown holds a certain appeal - Yeah, that’s Jester, NOT Walker. Let’s be honest here – no one, not anyone damn fool is gonna vote for Walker. Well, excepting maybe his self. But Jester, yeah the man’s as nutty as squirrel shit and that makes him different. Different from Bishop. I get that folks want change, but that – that’s just change for change’s sake. Don’t mean squat.
Nathan? Really? That man’s clearly had a personality bypass! THAT’s the best we got to offer? Hell, you go vote for that if you want. That’s better than not voting at all, right? Yeah, right. Better off sitting on your damn hands!
And then there’s Cage. Almost damn near forgot. Has HE done enough to get your vote? Hell, the man stood up to that damn monster TCE! Gotta be worth something! ‘Cepting, it isn’t. See, no one CARES about that. That was just some damn little sub-plot playing out in the back of folks’ minds. Means NUTHIN! - Not in the big picture. Don’t get me wrong; I LIKE Cage. He knows what it means to be World Champion. He could carry it off, that’s for sure. BUT, is he gonna win this vote? Hell no! CJ Walker’s got more damn chance!
Nope this here vote is a two horse race.
You can have some crazy guy go for it. He might win. MIGHT. And the good thing is – if he does, he ain’t holding that title for long; so it’s in a LOT of folks interests to vote him in. OR, you could vote for Pixi. Vote for Pixi and have a champion that people actually damn well LIKE! Have someone DIFFERENT to the same-old, same-old of the Black Hand. But, it’s your call. You decide. But I ain’t going nowhere. I’m ready to pick up the pieces of some messed up decision and USE it, if I have to.
Stay positive. That’s the Pixi message. And that’s the one I’ll leave you with.
Stay Positive. Vote Pixi.
(The camera zooms forward to be met by the opened lid of the pizza box and everything fades to white.)
