The scene opens up in a dark room. Well, it’s a dark room aside from the fact that it’s partially lit up by the light coming from the large TV. A large TV that sits opposite a couch which holds Legend and WCF Hall of Famer Gravedigger. On the TV itself is a still frame from War IV, ten years ago this year. Matthew Steele is standing above Gravedigger who lays on the mat, after having been hit with Steele’s FaceLift finisher. Gravedigger hits a button on the remote and the video plays.
Zach Davis: Matthew Steele could be the WCF Champion in a matter of seconds!
Steele covers Gravedigger.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
No!
Gravedigger gets his shoulder up at the LAST second! The crowd groans in unison, thinking Steele had it. Steele signals that he's going to finish GD off, and motions for the Steele Driver. Gravedigger stands up slowly, and as Steele goes to hit the move, GD elbows him in the head, blocking it. He then hits a Diamond Cutter. GD rests for a second or two, then stomps at Steele a few times. He picks him up, and Piledrives him back down to the mat. He pins, hooking the leg. One.. two... and another nearfall, Steele is able to kick out. Both men rest for a few seconds. Gravedigger is the first one up, and picks Steele up with him. He throws Steele to the ropes, and goes to hit the Grave Marker, but Steele catches his arm and brings him down in an Armlock! The crowd goes wild, just waiting for Gravedigger to tap. The ref asks if he wants to, he says no. He crawls closer, and closer to the ropes.. he's about to grab them.. No!, Steele pulls him back away again. Gravedigger screams in pain, and kicks his legs, doing anything he can to get out of it. Steele keeps it locked in. Gravedigger is finally able to get his leg under one of the ropes, and Steele is forced to let go.
Zach Davis: Matthew Steele has continually come SO close..
Steele kicks at Gravediggers arm, then brings him up with it. He elbows it a few times, then throws him to the ropes. Gravedigger manages to get himself together and hits Steele with a Leaping Superkick, but Steele ducks it, kicks GD in the gut, and tries the Facelift once more. GD catches Steele, however, and reverses it into the Death Driver!! He makes the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
Gravedigger has done it! Gravedigger is the WCF World Champion!! Matthew Steele rolls out of the ring, although he's getting a standing ovation from the crowd. The ref hands Gravedigger the World Title, which he holds proudly in the air.
Zach Davis: It was anyone's game going into this, but Gravedigger has accomplished it. He is our World Champ. I don't believe it.
The video is stopped once again and Gravedigger hits another button turning off the TV, sending the room into total darkness. Suddenly a clapping sound can be heard and the lights in the room come on to a predetermined setting. Gravedigger is smirking as he looks at the camera.

Ten years ago this year was when I won War IV. Now here we are at War XII. Wait…sounds like Seth got lazy, this should be War XIV by now, right? I’m the only guy in War XII that was in War IV since Logan was too much of a coward to step into the ring with me. You’d think with someone like Logan back then, he would have wanted to be the first to win War back-to-back. Hell, some are predicting that Logan will win because he apparently wins War every three incarnations. What about me? Maybe I win War every ten years? This could be my year!
It’s funny listening to all the schmucks in the back talking about how I’ve got no chance, like they fucking know. There’s over 40 men on the unofficial list of War entrants and tell me…how many people in this match have even won the damn thing? Yeah that’s right, Logan and myself unless the mystery man is one of the former winners only two people in this match know what it takes to survive this match. See that’s the thing about the people cutting promos so far about how they’re going to win this match, they talk about winning the match. Becoming the winner of War isn’t even about winning it, it’s about surviving it. If you’re coming into this looking to win and thinking you’re going to win, then you’ve already lost this match. You’re nothing more than fodder for the elite in this match. You’re nothing more than being the next person who tries to break the record of most eliminations, co-held by myself by the way. You want to be the last man or last woman standing in this match then you have to figure out how to survive.
Sarah Twilight, Steve Orbit, keep running your mouths both of you about how I’m too old and how I’ve got no shot at this and blah blah blah. How many War events have your name beside it as the sole survivor? None, I don’t give a damn if you were in it last year or not, until you’ve won the damn thing, you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about when it comes to deciding who will win and who will be eliminated. Both of you have one World title to your name and you think that means you’ll have a chance at winning it? How many Wars has Corey Black been in and never won it? He’s held the world title more than anyone else here aside from Logan.
People want to talk about my age and how I don’t have it anymore. How I’m old and rusty, but I still got in the ring at XIII and beat Waylon Cash’s ass. Yeah maybe he was high on cocaine or that mary jane. Or maybe he was thinking of Scott Savage naked, I don’t give a damn what was going on in his head and body, but I got the job done. The only scum-sucking leech in this match aside from Logan that I consider a serious obstacle in my way is Jonny Fly. That asshole seems to win every damn thing he’s in.
Jonny Fly, a lot of people seem to believe that you’re a shoe-in to become a future Hall of Famer. Maybe you are. If you win War or the world title sometime in the near future, then maybe I’ll finally get on board the proverbial train here. I know from looking around and hearing the talk backstage that the other people in this match think that there’s no point in even being in this match if Jonny Fly is in it, but see here’s the thing. This is a clusterfuck of Seth Lerch’s wildest and wettest dreams. You can’t win a War match on talent alone, something I can admit that you have. You can win every damn title in this company and walk into that match and not last even 5 or 10 minutes. I may consider you my biggest obstacle to surviving this match, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think I can beat you. You’re not unstoppable or unbeatable like so many here think. You have never been in a War match before and so you don’t truly even understand what you’re walking into here.
So let’s move onto someone I mentioned earlier. Steve Orbit. Former world champion. Former tag team champion with Waylon Trash. We’ve always had this mutual respect for each other. I think it’s maybe the fact that you’re talented and yet at the same time you’re not this arrogant scum-sucking leech like some of these other guys in the back. I just think it’s funny that you believe I’m so old that I have no business being in the ring at War. Again, what would you know? Yeah, Orbit, you were in last year’s and had a pretty good showing, but you weren’t the last man standing so you really don’t know what it takes to be the one to walk out the victor in a War match. I’ve been in more War matches than the number of years you’ve been in WCF. And no, I haven’t been in every War since War IV.
You’re probably sitting there thinking that you have a better chance at winning this event than you did last year since you have the experience from it. See, that’s the thing that you and some of the other former participants seem to be forgetting. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve been in War, your experience in it doesn’t guarantee you will do better or even win. Talented people such as yourself, Jonny Fly, NvL, and others just better hope that people like myself or Logan don’t end up drawing numbers near the end of the match. See you talk like these young bucks with all these years ahead of them, the ones who are holding all these titles all year are the ones you need to watch, no. Orbit, you’re falling into the same mistake as the rest. You need to watch out for the people who have been in several War events like Bobby Cairo, Doc Henry, FPV, Oblivion, Jay Price, hell even Roy Speede. You need to keep a closer eye out for people like me and Logan.
Everyone this week is going to talk trash about how old I am and how ridiculous it is that I’m even in this match, but I could easily walk out right before The Masked Man and eliminate half the people in that damn ring and you could be one of them. Anyone not considering myself a threat to their chances of winning this match is just outright stupid.
So then there’s Sarah Twilight who ran her mouth about me. About how I’ve had my lips stuck to the ass of Eric Price. You’ve got some nerve. First of all, I don’t have my lips stuck to anyone’s ass. For all the hatred the fans and others spew at me, I’m still one of the most loyal people in this company’s history. I don’t turn on my teammates. My teammates don’t typically turn on me either. I’m not like you where I just turn on everyone. See, my interactions with you once you joined Bravado were minimal. Out of everyone that has been a part of Bravado and then our alliance pre-Bravado, you’re the one I spent the least amount of time being seen with and interacting with. It’s because I’ve been in this business long enough to spot a snake in the grass. Hell I’m one of the biggest snakes in that grass here in WCF history. I knew for months that something was up with you while everyone else was falling for your bullshit. Yeah, when you did your big reveal and showed all the little parts of the last few months where you were responsible for underhanded things and manipulated everyone, there was a thing or two that I nodded at thinking “man, she got one over on me”. It was funny seeing everyone drinking the Sarah Twilight koolaid. Then when you turned on your friends in Genesis and joined Bravado, people were still drinking that koolaid and you turn on Eric Price. Steel Toe Joe, NvL, Jakobs, none of them are seeing what’s going on here. You’re going to turn on them, too. You’re nothing but a turncoat. See, I may be hated here in WCF, but people can respect me for the most part. You on the other hand, your downfall will come and you will lose ownership of WCF one day, I can assure you of that. I speak from experience.
When it comes to War, you just better hope. No, you better pray that the first few entrants into the match are Bravado members, because I can guarantee you if Genesis members enter the ring, you’re going to be in a world of trouble. One of the initial entrants? Yeah, the odds are stacked against you and they will be further stacked against you if I enter that ring. You need to survive this War match. You need to win it so people give a damn about your career and so you even have a chance to have a career from here on out. So you won the world title one time…big deal. How many tries did it take? So you are the owner of the company…big deal. That shit is old hat at this point.
Let’s move on to NvL though. The world champion. See, I like this guy. No offense to Orbit, but I was rooting for NvL against you. I was torn, I didn’t know who I wanted to see as the world champion more. See, I didn’t pull for him because he was Bravado, I just know that this guy is talented. He’s going to go far. How he does in War is going to determine where he’s going to go. Even if he loses the world title in this match, he will still have a chance to regain that belt…well unless Sarah wins War or decides she deserves a shot first. This mean streak you have inside you, I like it, but it’s not going to get you any friends I can tell you that. If the target on your back as defending world champion wasn’t bad enough, being a member of Bravado and one of Sarah’s dogs makes it even worse. If I could pick one person who would surprise everyone as being someone who DOESN’T have a shot at winning War, it would be you. Everyone is going to be gunning for you. Everyone is going to want to be the one that eliminated the world champion. What better motivation for everyone in the ring to know that the world champion is out of the match and a new world champion is guaranteed. NvL, you better be ready to fight and fight hard.
So what are my thoughts on the legendary Hall of Famer, Bobby Cairo? Bobby Cairo, one of the biggest legends in this company yet he hasn’t won a War match. What better way to cap off his big return to WCF than to win War XII, right? When I think of Bobby Cairo, I think of his protégé from a couple of years ago, Chad Evans. I think of how he tucked tail and ran when I beat him in the center of the ring as Hector Rodriguez. The guy who trained a coward. See, I’m not like all these other stars in WCF who are just dismissing him and thinking there’s no point in worrying about him since he’s old and been around the block a few times. No, I’m taking you, Bobby Cairo, as seriously in this match as Mr. Hitler himself, Adam Young. Bobby’s one of the big names from WCF’s past that I’ve never beaten and I’m going to change that on Sunday if we end up in the ring at the same time.
I could go on and on about all the names that are going to be in this match, but I got shit to do so I’ll just end it on this. War XII is going to be in my hometown, Phoenix, Arizona. Ten years later, it comes full circle where it all began for my amazing Hall of Fame career. Yeah, you’re going to hear lots of talk about how old I am, you’re going to hear lots of talk about how we’re so close to my hometown, I can just be wheeled on into the local nursing home after the match without traveling that far. Go ahead and talk about how I’m older than a lot of you in this match. That’s fine. I want you to underestimate me. I’ve been underestimated for years. People aren’t taking me seriously as a contender and that’s where they’re making their biggest mistake. This match is quickly becoming about the new guys here in WCF. All the guys who have racked up years on the payroll are being ignored. If you could learn and remember anything about this match, you should be looking towards Logan. How much do you want to bet that no one saw it coming when Logan won War three years ago? Underestimate me. Ignore me. Then hate me when you get flipped upside down and dropped on your head with a Death Driver out of nowhere. Sunday night, I’m going to fucking bury all of you.
The scene fades to black.
