We fade in on a small room that appears to be a viewing room of some sorts. It’s quite dark and all the fits in the room is a table along the wall, a chair, and a monitor. It appears as if the cameraman is either standing in the doorway or the camera is placed in the wall. Sitting in front of the monitor in the chair is the newest NCW signee Venom. He does not speak, but we do hear his voice over the image.
There are times in our lives that we cannot get back. The last two years of my life are something that I cannot get back and I wouldn’t want them back if I could.
Fans run up to me all the time and they ask me if I miss it. If I could go back would I have not given it all up to work for Charlie and leave the biz. They seem to think that me leaving was a bad thing for my life. The truth is the two year hiatus gave me something I could never had gotten had I still been touring the world, two years to watch my children grow.
Now that I’m back, there are some things I wish I did, like train a little more, but I never got out of shape. Some of those people at home they think that because when they had kids they gained all this weight that there is no way to stay in shape without working out 24/7. The truth is though, parenting, real parenting, is a hardcore workout. My boys are now eight and six years old, and chasing them around and playing ball with them has been almost as good a workout as I would have had on the road.
Am I saying I am ready for the ring? God no, yet I am stepping back in it. Why? There’s only one reason why, I love it. I love it so much that I can’t hold back, and I’m a little scared. Scared that if I don’t jump in feet first I’ll never make it back. So here I am just days away from my first action in over two years, and I’m watching tape in a cold dark room.
He slowly turns his head away from the monitor as whatever tape he was studying comes to an end and static overtakes the screen.
When I put together my first promo in over two years I may have been to open with you people. I may have let you all in on who I really am, and I have no problem with that. The problem I do have with it is that you took what I said and didn’t see it for what it really was. I told you that I hadn’t yet had much time to research and you took it as though I was to high and mighty to research you all, but that’s not what I meant at all. I got as big as I am, pardon me, as I use to be by knowing my competition. Those people you guys have heard saying my name these weeks before I showed up here talk about me for a reason, and that’s because I am always prepared.
For instance, I took a look at last weeks shows and one thing all of my opponents have in common is, they won. What that means to me is that you all had the taste of victory, and no one wants to give that way. So I’ve been preparing all week to face all three of you at your best, because that’s what I expect. I have also been critiquing the three of you on your performances from last week and the past, and of course, from your recent promos.
Mr. Hammond, the one I was originally most worried about originally, has not showed me much recently. His in ring performance last week was lackluster, but his will to win prevailed. The problem is you cannot always gamble on your will to win and your opponent to leave an opening for you like Hammond got last week, and I am just Mr. Hammond know that. So I should expect him to be more focused going into our match, but I am not. He has yet to utter a word, and the way he looked last week, it shows me that I was wrong. Hammond may have once been someone I should have been worried about, but now, he just appears to be an above average wrestler in a slump and his slump won’t end Saturday night.
Then we have Mr. Bump in the Night himself Doctor Dream. I’m not sure what you hoped to accomplish standing in the middle of no where speaking to the air and making predictions of our match that are so vague they could have been told to me on a psychic hotline. Nor do I know what you were hoping to prove with your match last week, other then the fact that you are lucky. It seems to me so far that everyone in this match gets by on pure luck and says screw God given talent.
He shakes his head and lets out a deep sigh before continuing on to the last subject in this match.
Then there is the definition of Mediocre, Mike Machado. You were a very busy boy last week Mr. Machado. You not only show how well trained you are in simple technique when you beat the clown, but you also showed your heart as you stepped up to one of the most powerful me in America. For that Mike, you have drawn my attention. No, not for your silly little Spiderman joke, but for your style and Charisma. For someone who has all of the makings of a B-List movie, you have something that the other two men in this match don’t seem to have, at least not anymore. That is the heart to succeed. You’re dangerous because of that Mr. Machado. You are one small package away from shocking the world and becoming a star in this federation, but I will not be your gateway to fame.
You may think there is nothing I can do to stop you, but I have been in this business for ten years and I have seen it all. I’ve seen guys like you rise to the top and fall to the bottom, and I have figured out a million different ways to avoid ending up as the butt of someone’s joke. So Saturday Mike, it might come down to blind tags, interrupted three counts, and grievous bodily damage as Doctor Dream predicted, but the one thing I’m sure of Mike, is it’s going to come down to you and me, and who wants it more.
Venom turns away and hits eject on the DVD player and pops in a new disc as the camera fades to black.
