(We open with footage of Eddie's win on the last show. A doctor wiped the blood from his face but we still see the eyelid split and Eddie D exhausted. We see Eddie heading into the backstage. The sound man manages to capture an exhausted Eddie muttering to himself "This is what it takes..." The footage rewinds and repeats with the audio improved "This is what it takes..." The footage pauses and we zoom out to find Eddie in his dressing room backstage in Leeds. He's been playing the footage from last week on a screen and addresses the camera.)
EDDIE: Hello wrestling fans. Did you hear it? Inadvertently, even in my most exhausted moments of pain, popping up with a snippet of my winners’ attitude even after being abused by that SOB Donzig. If you're a slave to your frustrations and you can't get the job done... grab a chair and see how that works for ya? Well how did that work out for you Donny? Feel good to watch me waltz into the final? Sure feels great to be here. You can barely see the split on my eyelid, but there's a wound that won't be healed until I beat you 123 and see how you like the taste of steel. It's an acquired taste and not everyone has the palette for it. See you soon my old buddy pal.
Talking of taste... There's a sour taste in my mouth after hearing Eddie Havok spouting off. The fearful silence leading up to this epic contest has been deafening. Neither man will be thanking Donzig for his ill-discipline and they will certainly not be looking forward to locking horns with me, no matter what bluster and bravado they cough up over the next few hours.
The bit that stuck in my craw was... "Ok big deal"? Being a former champion of SWAT is "OK Big Deal"? Well until you have felt the crushing expectation and burden of the top spot at the top Fed around, maybe you shouldn't be so dismissive. "Big fish small pond?" Small pond? Fuck you. SWAT had its share of X-Crown Champions. SWAT Champions went on to do great things at other Feds. We did great numbers and we produced great shows. We were always the best, it’s just fortune saw us change network at a dark time, and about a year later Mr Blood saw that profit was more important that prestige and the fans and here we all are in sunny England.
No Havok, until you feel the joy of a giving your fans the ultimate bragging rights by getting the job done and winning the top title... You don't get to say "Ok, big deal"... I was actually called The Big Deal back in my stable enforcer days. Now I'm The Good Guy... So it would be pety to dwell on the point too long, but knowing what it's like to be a champ gives me the drive to be the top man again... Your casual casting my pedigree aside is a mistake I'll make you pay for... This is what it takes.
Incidentally... When the crowd cheer for "Eddie" tonight... Don't get confused or take credit or garner hope... When they're cheering for Eddie... they're cheering for Eddie D.
As for Billy Fowler... Well... Stable enforcers have a begrudged respect for one another because they remember what it's like to sometimes let yourself get looked over for the good of the collective; putting your dreams on hold and your body on the line so that higher ranking stablemates get their time to shine. It’s a shitty stick to grab the wet end of, but it gives you job satisfaction to see your stable excel thanks to your toil and discomfort. That said... The Bastards could never hold their own against the KGB or The Crew in their heyday so sorry if I carry a sense of personal pride and superiority in comparison stable to stable. Billy, I am ready, willing and determined to introduce you and Havok to The World’s End. It's a peach of a finisher. It doesn’t matter how big you is, how talented you are, or how fast you are… When you come off those ropes and get spun out of your wrestling boots and buried at bone crushing speed into the centre of the mat… All that’s left is pain and a 123 pinfall for yours truly.
I am in my prime and you two punks are plumb out of luck and out of time.
Wrestle: UK?! I will be your next World Heavyweight Champion.
Fowler and Havok?!
BRING… IT… ON!!!
(Eddie points at the screen... The footage un-pauses and we zoom back to the screen to see the footage of Eddie muttering to himself after his DQ win last show... ... ..."This is what it takes..." .)
