[Open.]
We're greeted with pre-recorded footage from Call to Arms 2021, which was held inside of the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. We pick up the action as Oxford Osland finds himself at a three against one disadvantage. Osland was the last man standing for his team, and would now face the challenge from Frank Windsor, Rob Riot and Kintaru.
"This is where things get interesting."
We hear his voice from off-screen. While we remain fixated on the action, our narrator has taken it upon himself to insert his own version of events while the audience watches along.
"Oh look, 'The Badman' Frank Windsor. There he is!"
[The action continues to unfold.]
"You know Frank, I couldn't help myself after I listened to you yammer on with all of your false bravado. What was it you said again?"
[He's being coy.]
(Mockingly.) "We've supposedly interacted..."
We continue to watch footage, which clearly shows Oxford Osland and Frank Windsor engaged in a fight.
"I would consider this far more than interacting, wouldn't you Frank?"
[Here it comes.]
"Ooh, Ohh... What's this?"
[He can't help himself.]
We watch as Osland locks Frank Windsor up in a triangle choke! Frank fights it, but eventually succumbs to the choke and TAPS!
"Ooof, yeah that one was tight..."
[We can feel the smile, even if we can't see it.]
Osland pauses the screen with Frank Windsor tapping to the hold. Based on Frank's facial expression, he was moments away from passing out completely.
"So, I guess among your many talents, one of them is circumstantial amnesia."
[Osland let's it linger in the air for a moment before continuing.]
"They say that our past trauma can play itself out in our present and future in mysterious ways. But this? This just comes off as a 'Badman' with a big ego who refuses to reconcile his reality. I'm sure re-watching this footage will conjure up feelings you've been suppressing inside since that fateful moment. That's Ok Badman, let it out...let it out, this is a safe space.”
"Shall we add the label of Narcissist to Frank's ever-growing list of special qualities? Narcissists are known for gaslighting, and as our little walk through the past has revealed - Frank Windsor is clearly of that ilk. For those who are uneducated, allow me to explain. Gaslighters attempt to manipulate the truth and force others to question their sanity. When a man with a big mouth like Frank Windsor decides to open it, and the drivel that escapes is blatantly false, outlandish and designed to keep his fragile masculinity in tact..."
[Osland trails off.]
"Well, let's just say that anything forthcoming that Frank expresses ought to be examined carefully, because lord knows what other lies 'The Badman' has been telling himself in order to suppress his insecurities."
[We finally pan back from the pre-recorded footage to see Oxford Osland standing in front of a hand-held camera. In the background, we see a Tall African American Man getting his hands wrapped.
[Sam 'The Man' Horry.]
[Based on the headgear, and wrestling shoes, we deduce that a sparring session is upon us.]
"Oh, but there was more. Let me make sure I find the proper words. And I Quote..."
[Osland's pulls his shoulders back and sticks out his chest as if he were delivering a monologue to an audience full of fans.]
(Mockingly.) "I cannot be faulted for forgetting all of the names of the fucking enhancement talent I’ve stomped my fucking Doc Marten’s on.”
[Osland covers his mouth as if to suggest he's having trouble controlling a laughter outburst.]
"Like, where does one even go with this? Enhancement Talent? Forgetting?"
[Osland rolls his eyes with extreme force.]
"Another trip to fantasy land. So that's two for two."
[Osland smirks.]
"Ah, this is great..."
[Clears throat.]
[Air Quotes.]
"Have you not watched much of the Bastards stuff before coming here Oxford?”
[Snark.]
"Frank, you and your bastard friends had three of you, and there was one of me. After fighting my way through the first five guys they put in front of me, I had enough resolve and durability to eliminate you and then take out your partner Rob Riot. Are you two the W:UK World Tag Team Champions? By my math and using logic - I, Oxford Osland and the ring post are capable of taking those Tag Team Championships from you. But you know, I'll save you the embarrassment and allow my compadres Jay Stevens and Leon Van Zandt to have the distinction."
[Osland shakes his head in disgust.]
"What tends to happen when someone decides to manipulate while refusing to except ownership of their mistakes - their credibility suffers. So while you want to tout some grandiose rise to greatness that you've been experiencing since I choked you out on your face...."
[...]
"In the interim, my advice to you would be to find a way to recoup the credibility that you shattered via your own free will. Pretty soon, when you open that foul mouth of yours, everyone around you is going to question just how authentic you truly are. Everyone will wonder whether or not the cuss-word laden tirades that you rely upon are nothing more than a 'Badman' who can't read the room. Nobody likes a phoney, Frank - they should've taught you that much on the "mean-streets" of Bradford."
[Wink.]
"So while you insist on posturing, and resting on the laurels that you assume strike fear into my heart..."
[Scoff.]
"Let it be known that I've enlisted the services of one of the most revered strikers walking god's green earth."
[Osland points over his shoulder to Sam Horry who now appears ready for their session.]
"To the Gaslighting, Potty-Mouthed, 'Badman' with Circumstantial Amnesia..."
[Cold.]
"When my hand is raised in victory in Liverpool, and you leave the ring a broken man...I want you to remember..."
[...]
[Dismissive.]
"That you did this to yourself."
[Cut.]
