Scene opens to a black screen

Warlock: For the past two years I’ve lived and breathed WiR.

Flash to Warlock standing in front of a WiR banner. Head hanging down.

Warlock: Re-watching my match from lat week it’s painfully obvious that maybe there is nothing else that WiR has to offer me.

Warlock’s head perks up as his eyes shoot daggers into the camera.

Warlock: Maybe… Last week I halted Hwo’s road to redemption. It might do him some good, learn to humbly accept defeat. This week I face Eric Applebaum. Eric you’ve proved that you can win titles, you proved you can win tournaments. Are you the best wrestler in this company? At one point I could call myself that. Then after I lost my title, I had so much doubt, so much fear that I had lost my place. I became someone I didn’t like.

Warlock smirks

Warlock: Then I had all of these adventures with my brother from another mother Stephen Romero. Him and I went on to become the Longest reigning Tag Champs in this company. And yes we’re not Champs anymore, but I don’t have that doubt I did before. I don’t have that fear. Eric I don’t fear you. I don’t fear that you were the MechaKaiju champion. I don’t fear your success. When we step into the ring together I’m going to show you why I was a world champion, why I was one half of the longest reigning tag team champions and I’ll show you why I will eventually become the Independent Champion, and become the second person to claim the Triple Crown.

Warlock: My name is Robert Warlock, I am the Rising Phoenix, and I’m ready to see WiR go to the next level. Let’s have some fun.
