We open with absolute darkness. Nothing penetrates the black veil that surrounds the screen; that is until we here the click of someones fingers. Suddenly, a desk lamp comes on. We can see two hands together, both belonging to one man. There is a light, eerie chuckle. Then, a males voice begins to speak.
Voice: It happens once in a lifetime for most. That one moment, where you feel like no one can stand toe-to-toe with you. That one moment where you feel as if youre the God of the entire world and no one can oppose you. You feel as if youre the greatest of all time. But for me, that moment occurs every single day of my life.
The man once again chuckles.
Voice: For me, I feel as if I can be beaten by no man every time I take a breath. I feel this all the time. Why? A good question for sure. Theres no real way to describe it. You could say Im born better. You could say Ive honed my skills to the point of absolute perfection, or you could believe it is fate. I chose to believe it was always the case that I was better. Not because I was born into, no. I know Im better than either of my parents. The reason I am so great is because I realise that no one man, woman, child or even God, can equal my talents. Natural abilities, God-given talent, whatever, it doesnt matter where they came from; the fact of the matter is I have them and no one else does.
There is another click and the light of the lamp goes out. There is a pause for a brief moment. Then suddenly, a whole array of bright lights come on. They shine down revealing Steven Holmes, sat behind a desk in a massive office. It is not the length that is huge however, it is the height. The room is adorned by the powerful lights, some of it coming from glorious chandeliers, other sources of the light are coming from planted stage lights, and all of them display Holmes in all his glory. Holmes has a tremendous grin stretched across his face.
Holmes: Some may call me cocky. Some may call me arrogant. Those are the people who have blinded themselves into believing that Steven Holmes isnt The Elite. Those are the people who have deluded themselves, pulled the wool over their own eyes. Those are people like Chris Beckford.
Beckford walked to the ring without a care in the world on Meltdown. He felt as if Steven Holmes was a mere stepping stone to his own greatness. What he didnt realise was that Steven Holmes IS greatness. He didnt realise that Steven Holmes IS the greatest wrestler the world has seen.
He didnt realise that I was able to destroy him in the way I did. Blade certainly helped me, however all his interference did was speed up a process that was already well under way. All Blade did was make reduce the amount of time I had to make Beckford pay for his insolence. So Blade will not be receiving any thanks, not that our EurAsian Champion would want any of course.
Holmess grin has been replaced now with a much more serious face. He truly believes in what hes saying. He continues.
Holmes: I did more damage to Chris Beckford than the masses would believe. My victory not only broke him physically, but also mentally. I mentally defeated him, leaving him prime pickings for Blade afterwards, and like the vulture he is, Blade picked at the weakened Beckford, leaving him unable to compete for the foreseeable future, let alone in a major championship match.
My mental superiority isnt just over Chris Beckford though, oh no. That superiority should be apparent to everyone as I hold it over every single wrestler on the WZCW roster. Whether your name is Michael Winters or whether its Gordito or even our World Heavyweight Champion Ty Burna, I hold supremacy over them. Which is why it should come as a surprise to no one that I hold this domination over my former friend, my former partner and my former mentor; Steven Kurtesy.
The mention of Kurtesys name has got Holmes grin to return once more. He laughs diabolically and he shows off his bright, white teeth. Slowly his facial expression returns to the serious look it had before.
Holmes: Steven Kurtesy has never faced anyone like me. Kurtesys never faced a man who holds a mental edge over him like I do. I have him by the throat as he himself will admit. Im the first man to really dig into Kurtesys psyche. Im the first man to really get under Kurtesys skin. Im the only man who has ever been able to shake his faith in himself.
Kurtesys never met anyone as dangerous as me. Hes never face a man that has total and utter control of himself when it comes to wrestling. You see, most people seem to believe that when you truly let go, become filed with rage, anger and hatred that you become truly dangerous. Those people believe that when you become insane youre at your most dangerous. Oh no. What those people dont realise is that it is when you are in total and utter control of yourself that you turn into a truly dangerous individual.
When you know every fibre of your being and have the upmost confidence in yourself is when you can truly realise your potential and turn yourself into an absolutely terrifying foe. I am a man who has total belief in himself. I am someone who knows that I am able to tear any man limb from limb. I know that I am the best in the world today. I know that I am the best ever, and no man can ever make me believe anything different.
Holmes now has a straight, serious look on his face. He nods, showing his own self-belief.
Holmes: I am the one and only. I am in a league of my own. I am the greatest of all time and the only person who can say any different is myself. No one person can make believe anything different. I know its true and soon, it will dawn on everyone that I am the best ever. That all starts with the defeat of Steven Kurtesy. That all starts with the execution of Steven Kurtesy at Redemption. Milwaukee will only be the first to realise it, as soon everyone shall come to realise that I am the man.
Holmes serious look is swallowed up by the large grin that was on display earlier. Holmes begins to chuckle again, before it turns into something much darker, a cackle. It echoes around the large room as Holmes clicks one final time and every source of light is extinguished leaving only the howls of Holmes to fill the darkness.
