Setting: Were inside a house. A very large house. The camera pans from room to room and down a hallway until it stops just outside of a large mahogany door. After several seconds the door swings open slowly and the camera enters the room, sweeps from left to right until we see Everest standing in one corner of the room, his left hand resting on the side of a very large very expensive curio cabinet. He is leaning against the cabinet kind of staring into the case almost gazing into space. Finally WZCWs very own goddess Becky Serra emerges into the frame and confronts Everest.
Excuse me, Everest; you said I could find you here, is this a good time?
Everest seems unfazed as Becky speaks
Everest?
Huh? Oh hello Becky. Sorry about that I didnt realize that it was that late. Come on in.
Everest motions Becky over towards where he stands. As he moves to the side we see the contents of the curio cabinet behind him. It holds 4 separate Championship belts. All shined to a golden shimmer, all very precisely placed on the shelves and all with photos behind them depicting Everests victories for said titles.
Everest may I ask what you were looking at when I came in?
What was I looking at? Well Becky I was reflecting I guess, reflecting on past success, past glory, past triumph. You see Becky since Ive been in WZCW Ive defeated some great great wrestlers, Reaper, Disasterpiece, Hassan, that oversized goof Maxx, even our champion Joseph Rios. Yet months and months have passed and I, Everest, still stand here with no title, no gold to speak of.
Ill tell you Becky, it doesnt matter how many wins you have. It doesnt matter how many fans you have or how many allies you can make. No, in this business its all about the bottom line. In this business you can beat every opponent you get into the ring with, whether its a bottom feeding 7-11 owner like Hassan or its the World Champ himself. The only thing that matters is who is wearing the gold around his waist. You see everyones complaining about Rios and Dynasty. All I hear when Im out there amongst fans is When will someone shut up those Dynasty punks?
Well Becky the bottom line is simple. You want to shut up Dynasty, take the one thing they have over everyone else. Take the gold. Gus had it for a time when he took the Elite X title from Will, but look what happened, Will and friends came back and took it back. The Devilspawns may not be champions at the moment but they have been before and probably will find a way to sucker their way into the title again. My point is this though, even when Will wasnt champ and even though the Devilspawns are not champions right now, Dynasty still has the power, the run of the company
.and why is this?
Rios?
Exactly Becky! Exactly, they have the World Champion. Ive done my best, my absolute best to put the guy into the Ex Champion category and unfortunately Ive had his number, just not on the nights that it mattered. It might have been a foreign object? Maybe outside interference? Hell even a very large, very mad Japanese superstar but those are no excuses. I knew what I was getting into, I knew who was watching Rios back and I still didnt do what needed to be done.
Everest glances back to the cabinet that is standing behind him.
You see Becky these title back here, these Championships remind me that I have been in situations like this before and Ive emerged from those battles with what I went into them looking for. I came out of those matches as CHAMPION. These titles remind me that I know what needs to be done, I know that It CAN be done and I know that I am the One who MUST get it done.
Lethal Lottery is just days away. Rios days of relaxing and kicking back in the Dynasty locker room with the Devilspawns kissing each cheek while Will fans him with that big feather fan are almost over. No more frilly little drinks with the umbrellas in them.
Everest is now staring into the camera, just inches from the screen, a fire in his eyes, a determination in his voice we havent seen from Everest in a long time
You see Rios Im done being nice. Im finished messing with you. No more oh darn, Dynasty saved him again, guess Ill just have to try again. This is it Rios, the fans are tired of you, the locker room is tired of you, hell, Im tired of you. Lethal Lottery seems like a great place to relieve you of that gold. Relieve the fans of the burden of having you as their champion.
Everest finally moves away from the cabinet altogether and we can see that the belts are arranged on two large shelves. 2 on one side and 2 on another, the top shelf though is completely empty. Everest points to that shelf as he continues
You see that space right there? Take a long look Rios. Thats where my first WZCW title will sit. Right there on top, proof that I did what I said I would do. I beat you Joseph Rios 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. Its time for Rios to have that feeling, you know, the feeling of defeat. The feeling youll wake up with Monday morning when you roll out of bed, realize all your booze is gone
.drank the night before in an effort to drown out the memories, all your girlfriends gone
realizing they couldnt spend anymore time with a loser and your championship
..GONE, only to be found when you replay Lethal Lottery and see it residing on the Pinnacle of Perfections waist, my hand raised in victory. Its then and only then Rios you'll finally succumb to everything Ive been telling you for the past several months. Youll succumb to the one thing everyone else already knows:
THIS IS MY WORLD
..I JUST LET YOU LIVE IN IT!
Becky, Im sorry to have to cut this short but Ive got a training session to get too. You know what they say, all play and no work makes you a member of Dynasty. I am sure you can find your way out and again thank you for stopping by.
With that Everest turns and heads out a second door as our screen fades to black, followed by the WZCW logo.
