On screen we see OCCULO BREAKING NEWS in yellow letters on a black background. A few seconds later we cut to…
Occulo stands in an empty ring with his US Title belt draped over his shoulder. The arena itself is also empty, and all the lights are out except for yellow spotlights which are shining on Occulo in the ring.
Occulo: Good evening all from Philadelphia! I’ve taken up residency in the ECW arena to deliver a simple message. You see I’ve been squeezed into a match against Jeff Purse, Corey Black and Scarecrow otherwise known as the Pansieon sorry, Pantheon. Now, I declared myself open to take part at XIII but what I did NOT do is give my okay to be put alongside our boss and Odin Balfore against the Pantheon like an unwilling conscript in the War.
I’m going to make this all very, very clear in fact I’m going to spell it out to you Seth and Jayson.
He turns around with the camera until we can see the titantron behind him. We see “I” “DON’T” “CARE” “ABOUT” “THE” “PANTHEON” flash up until all the words are on the screen together.
That’s right. I don’t care about the Pantheon and I absolutely do not care about any little inter-federation war that you may be having with them. Don’t drag me into it. At XIII, now I’m being a good, courteous guy here by giving you lots of notice, I won’t be walking down that ramp and joining you at your corner. That’s right I’m bowing out. I’m not getting sucked in to your problems. I don’t owe anybody anything and I don’t want you to owe me anything. Right now every grain of my attention is going to towards the Trilogy Tournament that will lead me to fighting for the WCF World Title.
Did you honestly just assume that I’d say “Yeah sure! Of course I’ll fight for you”? Did you honestly assume that I would allow myself to be distracted from fighting for the tournament? You see I don’t think you know your roster as well as you think you do Seth. But I guess I can be found guilty of that too because I thought Scarecrow was a guy who like me was happily under his own rock shifting along the sands of the WCF carving out his own path, not getting sucked into the squabbles at the top of the ladder.
But I was wrong. I haven’t felt such a massive…stab of disappointment until I saw that you were okay fighting alongside the Pantheon. You see I like you Scarecrow, you’re one of my favourite guys here. But you’ve really dampened my opinion of you. I expected you to tell them where to go and slam the door in their faces. Instead I’ve seen none of the Scarecrow I’ve warmed to. It’s a damn shame. What’s happened to the “drifter, a denim clad loner; a wanderer with a clouded past, a pack of smokes, and a violent future”. You’ve abandoned the very thing that makes you who you are Brother. In fact no you’re not regarded as a Brother anymore because they share principles. Hey now don’t get me wrong Pantheon, because I know exactly how you’ll react to it “Hey look at Occulo trying to weaken us because he’s scared rabble rabble rabble” Because you just look for the most controversial and violent option instead of using your brains to think of my rationale. No, I’m not trying to weaken you because as I said, I don’t care about your existence here. You go ahead and get the best of the best on board, so what? I’m not asking you to leave the Pantheon Scarecrow, because at some point you obviously thought it was a good idea. Fair enough. People change. Clearly your change has come now.
So Seth, Price, you go ahead and take me out of that match or just assume that the radio silence you always respond with will change my mind. I won’t turn up. Go and find someone else to fight your battles. I’m not interested. Never was, never will be.
Pantheon, before you tell me, I’m not running scared. Oh no, I’m just slowly backing away from a nightclub brawl in the street that I happen to be walking past. Sorry to disappoint you all, but Occulo is not getting involved.
Good luck.
Lights Out.
The lights slowly fade out into darkness as we...
