The scene opens up to Gravedigger surrounded by darkness. The only thing lit up is the cliché padded chair in the center of the scene which Gravedigger sits in. Gravedigger speaks.
Gravedigger
XIII has been a ‘holiday’ of sorts here in WCF for the past few years. It’s the occasional specialty pay-per-view that Corey Black holds. Sometimes it’s filled with current grudges going on in WCF, matches that are sometimes tame while other times they are filled with extra violence. Ones like my match against Jay Price while under the mask of Hector Rodriguez. Other times, it features matches you normally wouldn’t see on Slam such as my world title Casket match against world champion Torture back in 2009.
If someone looks back at my history at XIII, I think I am 1-3, so it would be easy to say out of every sanctioned and specialty pay-per-view in WCF history, I always do my worst at XIII. My only win was last year when I made, at the time, a one time return match with Brad Kane against Club Cool members Alex Haden and Roy Speede. I was angry, pissed off, and motivated over all the trash that Club Cool had been talking about supposedly retiring me. I came into the match with a vengeance and along with Brad Kane, we put all doubts to rest about the ability of Brad Kane and Gravedigger to deliver that one last match.
Looking back at the last few weeks, it’s obvious that that wasn’t my last match. I am back and I have proven that I am where I should be. Tomorrow night, I will prove that winning my last match at XIII wasn’t a fluke, I will start a winning streak at XIII. I will be involved in one of the…arguably…biggest matches in XIII history. A War Games match. Corey Black, Jay Price, D-Day and Greenfever versus Odin Balfore, Gage Gannon, Jonny Fly, and Gravedigger. Team Zombie versus Team Bad Motha Fucka. Two teams in a huge steel cage, tearing each other apart.
The one thing I have been hearing all week since the teams were announced is “Why, Gravedigger, why?” Look at the teams again and ask yourself how you can’t wonder the same thing. You have one team with well-known veterans of WCF. Guys who have wrestled in WCF for years. Former world champions, former Tag Team champions, Hardcore champions, the list goes on and on. Accolade after accolade. Then you take a look at my partners. You have the two-time world champion and one time US champion Odin Balfore who hasn’t even been here a year yet. You have the TV champion Jonny Fly who hasn’t been here long. You have Gage Gannon, a basically unknown to the average WCF viewer. Then there’s me. The man who has worn nearly every major title belt in WCF. I could go on and on about all the things I’ve done in WCF. I’m the guy who recently attacked Odin on more than one occasion. I have faced him and have made it clear that I am not finished with him. That what started between us is far from over.
So why would I team with him of all people? It comes down once again to the same reason I have aligned myself with Seth Lerch here as of late: business. I’m sitting there at home shining up my hardcore title when the phone rings and of all people on the other line, it’s Odin Balfore. He tells me about XIII coming up and how Corey Black challenges him to a huge tag team match. He tells me that Corey already has his team filled up. So he starts speaking my language: Benjamins. I hear him clearly, but there’s a couple of things I have to understand before this exchange can happen and I end up on his team. I will watch his back, I will not turn on him before, during or after the match, and I will help him defeat Corey Black and whoever he had picked for his team. I think about it and think about it and finally answer yes.
Corey, you may have defeated Odin Balfore at One under what some may believe to dubious circumstances. However, I still have to give you props for winning the title. I also have to give you props for coming up with the idea of XIII despite my terrible record at it. This time, however, you’ve run into a little problem. Not only do you have the former world champion Odin Balfore standing across the ring from you, but you have the Epitome of Hardcore standing next to him. You have the legend, the evil son of a bitch that everyone in WCF no matter if you’re one of the boys in the lockerroom, a fan in the crowd, a ringside worker, or even that asshole who pushes the mail cart around in the WCF Offices. Yes, fuck you, Joey. You have me there. You have not one, but two monsters to deal with. You also have Jonny Fly, the current television champion across the ring from you. A man not to take lightly. You also have the unknown Gage Gannon standing there with us.
I know you well enough to know that when you got the final yes from your teammates that you were thinking that there was no way that Odin Balfore could come up with a better team. You were sitting there thinking that you had assembled one of the greatest groups of WCF wrestlers possible to stand with you against Odin Balfore and whoever he chose for his team. I also know you well enough that you went out and assembled your little band of warriors as fast as you did out of pure fear. Come on, Corey, don’t respond that you chose your team because of how great they are or all that they’ve brought to WCF. You scrambled as fast as possible because you were scared of Odin and who he might pick for his team.
When you heard the names Gage Gannon and Jonny Fly, you realized that he didn’t go and grab legends of WCF. He didn’t raid the Hall of Fame for possible partners, no he grabbed relative unknowns who he believes in. People he knows can get the job done at XIII. Then he goes and pulls the wildcard, choosing me as a teammate and that’s when your veins turned to pure ice. You then realized that Odin Balfore wasn’t playing around and was taking this very seriously. That he has a plan. And a plan he has: the total destruction of you, Corey Black, and I would love nothing better than to help him do so.
You picked Jay Price. Jay, Jay, Jay. How you been buddy? Remember me? Your good friend, Gravedigger. Yeah, I’m sure you remember the time when we faced at XIII. I was wearing a mask and known as Hector Rodriguez. We were in the middle of our war, facing each other every few weeks. A war which I am man enough to admit that you won, but then down the road, we decided to go at it one more time in the ring at One in December 2010. Who came out on top? That’s right. Gravedigger. This time at XIII, things will be no different. I know the big talk is how Jay Price came back and interfered in the world title match at One. Everyone’s talking about it, but personally I could give a shit less what you’ve done.
For all the times you beat me when I was Hector Rodriguez, your accomplishments here in WCF don’t mean shit. You held the TV title for a long time, but that’s about all that you’re known for. You are known to choke in big match opportunities and this is another one of those. You were handpicked by Corey Black to help him in his fight with Odin Balfore. Corey thinks he made a good pick because you’re known as an awesome wrestler and you’ve been here for years, but as I have pointed out….you choke when it matters the most. So good job to you, Corey Black. You thought what you were making was a good pick, but the problem is, Jay’s a good pick on paper. Ask Torture, Jay Price isn’t shit.
Then next we have D-Day. My good ‘ol buddy D-Day. The man currently having issues with my brother Chester who recently returned. The man I once teamed with when I was known as Hector Rodriguez. We honestly didn’t do too hot as a tag team because I never really liked you and didn’t want to team with you. I still don’t like you, but I gotta wonder if you’re 100% after my brother left you knocked the hell out from his Dust Biter. Once more it looks like Corey Black has picked another person who might blow up in his face. Yeah, I may have been blindsided and attacked by Oblivion on that same night, but it was D-Day that was dropped onto his head on a steel chair in the middle of the ring. Corey…it looks like you may be two-for-two in bad choices for tag team partners.
Speaking of bad choices for tag team partners….you picked Greenfever as your other partner? A man who died the last time he was seen on WCF television? Really? I don’t even know how to begin to approach your rationale to pick a dead man for your team. So is this going to be 4 versus 3? 4 versus 3 plus a zombie? How the hell is it even going to work? Did you dig him up and perform some voodoo on him and bring him back? Regardless of how you bringing Greenfever back to the land of the living for the match, he’s going to have a hell of a ring rust after being out of ring shape for so long…and living shape, too, I guess.
It’s this simple, Corey Black. XIII is widely known as your baby, but it seems like on January 13th, 2012 you will be wishing you had never started it. On your own show, you will experience defeat. You pride yourself in being a jobber killer and I’m sure that you consider Gage and Jonny as jobber status as they haven’t accomplished enough in your eyes, but I can promise you that there will be no jobber killing tomorrow night while myself and Odin Balfore are around. The only thing that will get killed is the legend of Corey Black. The legend of XIII itself will die at the hands of Team Bad Motha Fucka. There’s not a single thing that Corey Black, Jay Price, D-Day, and Greenfever can do but watch their world burn down around them.
I will walk into XIII with a purpose. I will walk out of XIII having accomplished that purpose and then I will deal with both the issues with my brother Chester and the returning Oblivion.
The scene fades to black.
