(There is a massive pop as The Sacrificial Idol steps out onto the entrance stage. The longest reigning SWAT champion in history, which recent title changes suggest is a record that won’t be challenged anytime soon, raises a withered arm to draw a respectful silence.)
Radu Matei: Syndicate Wrestling And Tradition-
(Beat.)
Radu Matei: Just when I think I can let these old bones rest, it seems like we enter a new crisis mode. Well I’m still here, and even though I’m not fit for much more than holding up the apron in a tag match, I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE!
(Deathless chants fire up throughout the arena.)
Radu Matei: I am not here to speak ill of the dead, as there is nothing concrete to suggest SWAT’s current dire finances are tied to the late Zoran Sainovic. All I know is, the coffers seem to be missing forty million dollars – and that’s about the operating costs for a few seasons of great Syndicate programming.
(That news quiets the audience down again.)
Radu Matei: We seem to be losing a world champion every week. Suzi Spitz. Trent Jones. Who is next? Syberus? Johnny Valentine? Me? It doesn’t take a genius to know that SWAT is in the middle of a storm. Which brings me to the fall. Autumn days mean a very important part of our calendar season is approaching.
Originally started in the great HARDKORE WORLD, of which many of our current stars got their start, and purchased from Johnny to become the crown jewel of our October Pay Per View...
(Reaching behind him, Deathless raises last year’s trophy.)
Radu Matei: The HELLOWEEN CUP!
*MONSTER POP*
Radu Matei: It’s a hell of an event. A one night tournament with more barbwire than you can shake a stick at, that inevitable ends up injuring half the roster. Now, we seem to be in a rebuilding period, and don’t have that many bodies to risk permanent injuries too. So I’ve been speaking with the championship committee, and this year, there are going to be a few changes. Rather than a series of matches, SWAT’s looking at a single contest featuring a team format – they are still devising the exact stipulations of the match, but I for one can’t wait to see the Society of the New Breed kicking the crap out the KGB!
(The audience eat this up.)
Radu Matei: SWAT staff above my pay grade will have more announcements in the coming weeks, regarding the teams and the memorably hardcore nature of the match, but I guarantee that this is going to be a Helloween Cup for the books.
Thank you Syndicate Wrestling fans for always sticking by us.
You know that SWAT is never better than when it has its back up against the wall...
...And in October, that wall just happens to be made out of barbwire.
I don't know if suffering builds character, but this fall, I'm looking forwards to a new generation to shine brightly, and bleed profusely.
Thank you.
(Verse at the Puro style of promos from his brief stint in SWAT Japan, Radu Matei bows to the Japanese audience who applaud their broken hero.)
