Many unexpected truths were revealed in his set of interviews including the fact that the Chicago screw job was all his idea and Sarah had no clue about it happening. Additionally, the infamous segment where Eric Price was humiliated and embarrassed with a fake gun was revealed to be a total shock for him as well as Sarah had told him nothing and did it as payback to him.
Despite many wrinkles in the plan, it seemed that the result of the plan had been what was expected all along, Sarah Twilight as the World Champion with Eric Price in the background only as a supporting player. Eric Price then sought to acquire WCF from Jonny Fly after Fly had approached him with the prospect. This third interview will finalize the series and bring us up to War 2013.
Day III: Wednesday 9/25 – The Rise and Fall of EPPW
Scene I: The WCF Purchase, The Beginning of EPPW – 5:00 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*The scene opens up once again in Eric Price’s living room with him sitting in one of two plusg suede chairs, the one on the right for him and Barbara Walters seated on the left hand side. Today, there are three titles on display at the table with the TV as well in the middle of the two chairs, the US Title, the Internet Title, and the Elite Title, all with Eric’s name engraved on them.

Barbara Walters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third and final night of the Eric Price interview. So far we’ve talked about your grand return in 2012, your rise to the top, the Chicago screw job, Aftermath, and we left off at the purchase of WCF. Last night, you said that Jonny Fly had approached you about a sale of the company.
Eric Price: That’s correct. Jonny Fly had become bored with running WCF and was tired of the day to day grind because he never could seem to please anyone, not that he cared so much about doing so but that it was getting grating to listen to all the whining and complaining in his view. So he approached me about purchasing the company. We had started seeing eye to eye on things and he knew I had the financial resources to buy him out so he naturally came to me and I saw a hell of an opportunity to improve the industry so I took it!
Barbara Walters: So you purchased WCF? I know you can’t disclose the amount but would you consider it a good deal.
Eric Price: It was a great deal, absolutely. I signed the papers and the deal was done. We agreed to do the big reveal at the Asesinato De Mayo pay-per-view event, which actually ended up being in June due to inclement weather in Mexico. Jonny Fly announced after the celebration of one year of Pantheon’s existence and told the world that he had sold the company to me, much to the shock of his brethren in Pantheon. I’ll never forget the reaction the live crowd and his comrades had of complete shock.
Barbara Walters: I take it they didn’t know at the time?
Eric Price: Probably not. I never really cared to find out because I was so engrossed in my purchase of the company that I was just ready to move in full steam ahead. And after he made the announcement, I came out during the pay-per-view and announced the leadership transition and the name change of the company from the Wrestling Championship Federation to Eric Price’s Professional Wrestling or EPPW for short. I also of course removed all the Pantheon members from the board of directors to be replaced with new leadership that I would name the following week.
Barbara Walters: A lot of people speculated that you did the name change to boost your own ego and vehemently criticized you for it.
*Eric smiles and chuckles a bit at this*
Eric Price: Oh yeah, I know. I know this is skipping ahead a bit but honestly, the biggest criticism I got during my tenure of running the company wasn’t that I fired some people, it wasn’t that I put my friends in power, it wasn’t even that I held titles … no, it was that I renamed the company. Oh good lord the attachment to three little letters you’d think were permanently tattooed on everyone or something. I never understood that this seemed to be the point of biggest contention about my ownership but I just shook my head and moved on with it. I did change it not to boost my ego but to signify a new era and for more publicity, which we got.
Barbara Walters: So the name change in your opinion was a success?
Eric Price: Absolutely, it did what it was supposed to do, it generated controversy and great publicity and we were off to a great start. The first thing I did was I restored Seth Lerch to power because honestly, I don’t see how Jonny Fly didn’t see the value of having a man like Seth who ran the company for so long and obviously knew how to keep it afloat; I don’t understand how he didn’t utilize his wisdom for this business. You see Barbara, I had endeavored in many types of business before but I’ve never been a wrestling promoter before and it’s always said that you will be marred with conflict if as a wrestler you try and become the promoter. But I ignored that and went on … how right that adage was.
Barbara Walters: So you brought back Seth and a few others into power and then you brought Sarah Twilight into the fold?
Eric Price: That’s correct, that was actually my idea. It coincided with the fact that Sarah felt it was time to reveal her true nature to the world because she had this sick fantasy about really crushing everyone’s hopes and dreams. I never was a huge proponent of that because in my opinion, the fans are what made our product and they are the ones buying the tickets and the merchandise … I was making a lot of money from that and I kind of hoped that her being liked by the fans would have changed her outlook somewhat but instead, it only made her even sicker and made her look even more forward to crushing their hopes and dreams.
Barbara Walters: So for business, you wanted her to not reveal the truth?
Eric Price: Actually, both for business and personal reasons. For business, obviously the merchandise sales were huge. Personally, I wanted her to be nice and I liked her as a nice person because she seemed so approachable, dare I say it … she seemed … human.
Barbara Walters: Some people complained that you fired them without reason from their positions of power as well as from their contracts. How much truth is there to that?
Eric Price: Like who, who complained?
Barbara Walters: One of the names brought up was Brad Kane.
Eric Price: Brad … I had a match with him at Asesinato De Mayo, I fired him mainly because he had been talking to me about retirement for a while and I figured it was as good a time as any to let him experience it. What a lot people don’t know is that after I fired him, I provided him with a great severance package and a retirement package so essentially, he has a great pension and is set for a good while.
Barbara Walters: Jay Price.
Eric Price: Oh that crybaby, first off, I didn’t fire his pathetic ass, I offered him a chance to keep his job as the Chief Financial Officer of the company but he flat out refused to work for me. He said that as long as I was running things, he would never work for me and he up and quit the same night the announcement of the transition was made. I later found out that he was one of the morons who complained about the name change … I can’t believe that such a little thing prevented him from working for me. Oh well, c’est la vie. I replaced him with Bobby Cairo. Unfortunately, Sarah hired him back a month later as a wrestler and then as Chief Financial Officer … whatever, he and I never saw eye to eye and still don’t get along very well mainly because he can’t get over the fact that I marginalized him to being “the other Price”.
Barbara Walters: Corey Black.
Eric Price: Another crybaby … I didn’t fire him either. He quit on me and also refused to work for me again … because of the name change, which was stupid in my opinion for him to quit over that triviality but in the end, I didn’t like him very much to begin with so I didn’t care if he stayed or left. Seth Lerch was his replacement.
Barbara Walters: Skyler Striker.
Eric Price: Striker … now there was an example of uselessness. I don’t know what the hell story he told Jonny Fly or what value he saw in him but to me, he was a waste of space and after his disappointing performance at Asesinato De Mayo, I showed him the door. The former Pantheon people whined and bitched but me … personally I didn’t care about that because he brought zero value to the organization.
Barbara Walters: Shannan Lerch.
Eric Price: Ok now Shannan … I didn’t fire Shannan and she didn’t quit either. For God knows what reason during my 2nd appreciation night in July, Sarah just started mercilessly beating her … I never saw such cold and uncaring eyes in my life and I still wish Shannan the best and have paid for her recovery and helped her as best I can. She’ll actually be back at War for a one night only appearance this Sunday to commentate and I look forward to seeing her again.
Barbara Walters: Moving on though, so Sarah revealed her true nature to the world.
Eric Price: Yes she did, I’ll never forget that night in Los Angeles when she bashed Jeff Purse with the steel chair. I had setup a World Title match under the guise of a rematch from Aftermath between myself and Sarah Twilight with Jeff Purse as the special guest referee. Everyone thought I was screwing Sarah out of the title and then firing her but when the shocker came … let me tell you something Barbara … pandemonium doesn’t even begin to describe what that was. I’d seen angry and hostile crowds before but that crowd in Los Angeles just came unglued when Sarah turned on them and they threw so much trash in the ring, hell, a beer can actually hit me in the eye and it left a small mark at the time … it was bad. But it was the end of an era because earlier in the evening, I had suspended Jonny Fly indefinitely from competition.
Barbara Walters: Why did you suspend Jonny Fly?
Eric Price: Why? Well, that night he had a match for leadership of Pantheon, a has been group that had run its course and was done. I felt no need to have him around anymore and he had expressed a desire to be away from the wrestling ring so I granted his wish forcibly and suspended him indefinitely … with pay as well. I effectively killed Pantheon that night and with Sarah turning on the world, she effectively killed Genesis with the knife she stuck in their backs. Orbit knew the whole time I think … he always hinted at it and made mention of it but I think he was the smartest one of that group and he knew what we were doing the whole time … at least I believe. I’ve never approached him to ask him about it personally.
Barbara Walters: So Genesis was dead, Pantheon was dead, there was no opposition left?
Eric Price: That’s correct, the stables were dead and the only power group that was left was the EPPW Executive Team, which collectively became known as Bravado. Jeff Purse got his World Title match against Sarah Twilight at Blast in Tokyo and she easily defeated him. This happened after Sarah revealed that she was behind the car accident all along, which was a shock to everyone because for months, I had been blamed for it. She took a sick pleasure in revealing it too as she looked at the dashed hopes and dreams of everyone and laughed … again, she seriously derived some type of orgasmic pleasure from it. Considering she never has sex, this was probably the closest she’d ever gotten to it.
Barbara Walters: I see. When we come back, we discuss opposition groups to Bravado and the relationship between Eric Price and Sarah Twilight as well as internal strife within Bravado. Stay with us.
*The camera crew signals that filming has stopped as Eric and Barbara relax as a 5 minute break is called*
Scene II: Bravado’s Enemies, Internal Strife, and the Sarah Twilight Situation – 5:25 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*The scene opens up with the same two plush suede chairs shown as the camera crew signals to Barbara Walters that they are about to resume filming.*
Barbara Walters: And welcome back ladies and gentlemen. We were discussing the beginning of EPPW and the start of Bravado. Was there and if so, what was the opposition to Bravado and EPPW?
Eric Price: Oh the opposition … it first started with FPV who said that as long as I was in charge of the company, he refused to defend his US Title. I thought that was bogus nonsense and an excuse to get out of his contractual obligations so I took him to task for it and I forced him to defend the title against me.
Barbara Walters: And that resulted in accusations of egocentrism?
Eric Price: Absolutely, everyone thought I was doing it simply to give myself a title but that was far from the truth. I did to lead by example that people in EPPW were going to compete and defend their titles regularly; just because I didn’t like them or they didn’t like me was not going to fly as an excuse for them not to perform. And at Blast, I beat FPV for the US Title; he bitched and complained like I knew he would but I didn’t care, I made my point to him.
Barbara Walters: Now what about Cryogenix?
Eric Price: Hahaha, Cryogenix, now there was much ado about nothing. Cryogenix is a perfect example of when egotism, nepotism, and stupidity meet all at once. It was Jay Price, Corey Black, Jeff Purse, Steve Orbit, FPV, and all were led by the Polar Phantasm; it was supposed to be the group that was going to take down the big bad EPPW and the almighty Bravado because they were secret agents that were going to save the world from everyone and everything while leading normal day lives and they all were going to be in a top secret bunker underneath … you know what, I don’t even care. From the onset of it, the fact that Jay Price and Corey Black were in it doomed it enough but to have the Polar Phantasm lead this … it might as well have started in reverse because that was failure for sure. It became so convoluted and outright ridiculous that they really thought and started buying they were actually secret agents for the government and that they had a secret bunker, which ended up being the basement of Polar Phantasm’s mom. I … I couldn’t help but laugh honestly that Polar Phantasm and yes, I’m sure this was mostly him had this absurd idea that he was going to defeat Bravado this way.
Barbara Walters: So did he attack you or your guys?
Eric Price: Not really. He spent so much time dedicated to his filmmaking with some lame ass TV show that only got a pilot produced because no one picked it up due to how smarmy, arrogant, and stupid it was … seriously, it was so full of itself. I thought Sarah and I were arrogant, they made us look like humility defined. It was one hour of more glad-handing and nepotism than I could take so I knew why no network picked up their pilot. Of course Polar Phantasm, whose real name is Cameron Bankston, let’s get that clear simply was devastated that his “artistic vision” was destroyed.
Barbara Walters: So you fired him?
Eric Price: I wish I’d gotten the pleasure of doing so. He decided to walk out and go home crying to his mommy because he didn’t get his little TV series picked up. No one cared or gave a fuck.
Barbara Walters: What about the Masked Man?
Eric Price: His exact intentions are unknown but he stood against stables and against EPPW and Bravado. He took the fight to me for a while and I took the fight right back to him. He manipulated the system to make himself the last entrant into the War match while making Sarah and myself numbers one and two respectively, giving us a huge disadvantage. I know who he is and let me just say that Masked Man … when you reveal yourself, it won’t make a different who you are because I’ll still beat you and remind you why I am the best. While I appreciate your support last week against Sarah Twilight, I can’t forget the hell we’ve been through the past few months and when we’re in that ring this Sunday, you and I … it’s just business.
Barbara Walters: Then came S-PAC.
Eric Price: Oh S-PAC … now there was an interesting set of individuals. They hated the fact that we were in power and decided to do something about it and destroyed my set. I thought they could have been great ring crew employees because they did it so quickly but seriously speaking, S-PAC claimed they were standing up to the tyranny of Bravado but in reality, the only reason they were mad was because we had the power and they didn’t; it was a case of pure unadulterated jealousy. I had my main issues with Ana Valentine who was with them at that time. Ever since I helped Seth Lerch win the Internet Title in July costing her the match and the title and subsequently beating her up, she could never forgive me or let go of that. She decided to make it personal.
Barbara Walters: So you two had a street fight.
Eric Price: Oh boy did we ever, we beat the hell out of each other and it was probably one of the most violent intergender matches in history, save for my match with Sarah Twilight at Aftermath. I then after the match after I beat her fired her! I did it to prove a point that no one was going to mess around with me like that.
Barbara Walters: But it backfired.
*Eric chuckles a bit*
Eric Price: Oh did it ever. The next week, she comes back dressed in a suit and pretending to be me as “EricA Price” … I didn’t know what to do or say about that. I will admit however that the segment we did where I argued with myself so to speak … that was gold and became the newly highest rated segment in the history of Slam. I was as shocked as anyone. That was not planned, no scripts, nothing, just what came to mind. I hired her back at the Revenge pay-per-view a week later after some BS with the ACLU claiming that she was gender confused and could not fire her. I hired her back with the condition that she drop the charade, which she did.
Barbara Walters: I’d like to discuss another member of the EPPW Executive Team that didn’t work out, Bobby Cairo.
Eric Price: Bobby Cairo is an interesting individual. He actually was the man who brokered the deal and made it possible for me to buy WCF from Jonny Fly and I truly respected his legendary status, which is why I named him my Chief Financial Officer. With a man who was known as the Godfather of WCF on my side, I knew he’d be a great asset to the team.
Barbara Walters: But then he left the Executive Team to form a tag team with Odin Balfore.
Eric Price: I to this day still do not understand why he left Bravado and his position as the Chief Financial Officer of EPPW to join up with some washed up has been like Odin Balfore. Worse yet, he didn’t even warn me, didn’t send in a resignation or even drop me an e-mail or text message telling me he was going to leave to do this, he just up and did it. One day I saw him supporting Odin Balfore and was as shocked as anyone.
Barbara Walters: Are you mad at him?
Eric Price: Not really. It’s Bobby’s prerogative to do what he likes but I would have liked an explanation from him for why he did what he did, he never really gave me one personally. I wouldn’t have fired him or anything, I just would have wished him the best in his new team but … I just never understood the reasoning behind him joining up with Balfore to form “The Thickness”. Who knows, I may never understand it but it was his call to make and he made it. Doesn’t change the fact that at War, I will easily and happily eliminate Balfore and Cairo if I have to. See … a lot of people fear Cairo for his great talent but I do not … I respect him yes but I do not fear him and I will stand toe to toe with him and show him why I am today’s best wrestler just as he was the best many years prior.
Barbara Walters: Now back to the Sarah Twilight situation. You named her CEO and Executive Vice President of Human Resources of EPPW. At Ultimate Showdown, she lost the World Title, which caused a short disappearance for her.
Eric Price: That’s correct. Her loss to Steve Orbit was devastating to her and she just decided to take time off, no explanation, nothing. She just up and vanished. I honestly felt bad for her and visited her in the hospital with some flowers but she just threw them back at me.
Barbara Walters: It is my understanding that you kissed her at the hospital, is that true?
Eric Price: She was sleeping; she looked so cute so I gave her a little affectionate kiss, nothing more. I wished her the best and I was saddened by the fact that she was hurt.
Barbara Walters: Is this when you started falling in love with her?
Eric Price: Honestly speaking, I had been in love with her for a while but the feeling clearly was never mutual; at the time I didn’t understand that however and thought she loved me back as well and it was just her way to be cold. It was a good time, EPPW was well on its way, I was still a title holder after Ultimate Showdown as Internet Champion and then Elite Champion thanks to Seth surprising me with a gift, at Revenge I beat Jay Price in a great ladder match to also become the US Champion, a triple champion, that was huge!
Barbara Walters: Didn’t that cause accusations of even more egocentrism?
Eric Price: Oh absolutely, everyone thought it was unfair that I was a triple champion but yet I’d won and defended all my titles legitimately so in the end, their claims were unfounded. And also unknown is a new talent initiative I started.
Barbara Walters: New talent initiative?
Eric Price: That’s correct. During my tenure in the company, I started a new talent initiative because I felt it was best to start recruiting new wrestlers into the company to help the company grow. People get tired of seeing the same people over and over and it was time to make new stars. Despite a lot of accusations that I tried to make the show all about myself, I really was more about promoting new talent and you see that with the signings I had of Matthew Robinson, Lionheart, Ryan Rhodes, Seifer Black Armstrong, Jordan Caliban, Jon Michaels, John Barber, all new faces that came in to EPPW under my tenure because I truly believed in helping out new talent. Not only that, but an oft forgotten fact is that during my tenure, Sarah cut this by the way now that she owns the company, but I offered and provided health insurance to all my wrestlers and employees, an on-staff doctor that could be requested at any time in case you felt you had health issues, I issued raises to nearly everyone as well as started merit based evaluations that resulted in yearly increases for a lot of the talent; I really tried to better the environment for the wrestlers with clean facilities, locker rooms shared by less people. I tried nearly everything to improve working conditions but it’s often forgotten simply because I renamed the company.
Barbara Walters: Did you seek any glory out of it?
Eric Price: Not really, I did it because it felt like the right thing to do.
Barbara Walters: What about the segments you forced Jeff Purse to do weekly praising you?
Eric Price: I suppose I had to do something for me and it was egotistical for sure but I threw my weight around on this. I picked Jeff because I was sick and tired of him accusing me of running him over so this was my payback to him and ultimately, he ended up insulting me each and every week so I fired him in early September. In hindsight, he had the right to insult me after what I’d done and I shouldn’t have fired him … I hear he’s in the popcorn business now.
Barbara Walters: When we come back, we wrap up this interview with the big question, what caused you to marry Sarah Twilight and what are your plans for War. We’ll be right back.
*The camera crew signals that the filming is paused for now as the scene fades to black*
Scene III: The Wedding and The Fallout to War – 5:45 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*The scene opens up with the same plush suede chairs, as Eric and Barbara are ready to finish up the interview. The camera crew cues in Barbara*
Barbara Walters: And welcome back to the final part of this interview with Eric Price. We now get to the big question … why did you propose to Sarah Twilight?
Eric Price: At the time … I loved her and I thought she really loved me as well so I did what I felt was natural and I asked her to marry me. I thought that would bring some real happiness into her life as it would into mine. All my associates also led me to believe that it was genuine affection; sure she was her same cold self on the outside but I thought on the inside she would have felt some joy for the wedding and our marriage.
Barbara Walters: It was so patently obvious though that she didn’t care a bit for marrying you. How could you not see it?
*Eric chuckles a bit as a tear forms in his eye*
Eric Price: Women have an advantage you see … Sarah blinded me with love and by that I mean that I fell blindly in love with her, I didn’t see the reality, I didn’t believe the reality. I watch back now and realize what the reality of the whole thing was but at the time, I had no idea. When the wedding day approached, I was so excited and ready to get married but before the wedding, Jeff Purse approached me and warned me about the consequences it would cause. I should have listened to him you know … but I was so stupid at that moment and didn’t think straight. Before the wedding, I remember I called Seth simply to reassure me that everything would be alright and he did; of course he had no idea what was about to happen.
Barbara Walters: Did you plan on giving the company to Sarah Twilight?
Eric Price: I had planned it out as a wedding gift. Originally, I was going to save it for the honeymoon but I just got so overexcited and consumed by the wedding and the emotion it generated in me caused me to be stupid and give her the company before she even accepted my hand in marriage. Then when she said no … when she exclaimed no … I just couldn’t believe it, I thought it was like a horrible nightmare and that I was just imagining the worst possible thing. But when my former friends started beating me up … I knew … I knew I was betrayed.
Barbara Walters: You still called out to Sarah to help you.
Eric Price: As I said, I was blindly in love and still my mind had not processed what was happening. It wasn’t until all that had happened and I was unceremoniously fired that I realized what it was … it broke my heart and devastated me. I seriously went into seclusion for a few days not knowing what to do.
Barbara Walters: What brought you back so quickly though?
Eric Price: Honestly … the need for closure and revenge. If I stayed home, then Sarah had won and I wasn’t about to let her win without putting up a fight so I persuaded Seth into rehiring me and then I surprised Sarah by showing up on Slam this past Sunday and made sure to humiliate her and also to get even with my former teammates in Bravado. You see, I was blind for a long long time but I was bling no longer; I had woken up to reality and Sarah … she was in for a dose of reality.
Barbara Walters: So do you have any parting words for Sarah as you head into War?
Eric Price: Oh absolutely and this goes to Sarah Twilight and her Bravado cronies … you guys turned your back on me after all I did was try and help you. You turned your backs on me to join up with that heartless bitch Sarah Twilight. First to Steeltoe Joe, Jon Jakobs, and Nathan von Liebert … you joined up with the head snake and now you live with her, she turned on the world, she turned on me, you’re next. As far as to Sarah Twilight … I can’t wait to see you in the War match. We’re still the number one and two picks for the match to start up and I can’t wait to get my hands on you because thanks to your own rules, this is no disqualification, which means when I get in that ring, anything and everything I do to you is 100% legal. If I were not in that ring, I’d get arrested for what I’m going to do to you because mark my words, I haven’t forgiven you and I certainly haven’t forgotten how you played me … you think you control the game but in reality, I control this game and I’m going to beat you at your own game. See Sarah … you may not care about being powerful, owning the company, or having money but I know the one thing you do care about … the WCF World Heavyweight Championship and when I beat you for it this Sunday, I will make it mine and much like before, I will be responsible for my own success. See Sarah … unlike you, I don’t need anyone to make my success, I make my own and I reach a far higher level than you ever will so as sincerely as you accepted my marriage proposal, I just as sincerely wish you good luck.
Barbara Walters: Any final words?
Eric Price: War is this Sunday and I intend to win it. I made my come back and I am making a point that Sarah Twilight no matter what she does and whom she betrays will always be second best … at War this Sunday, we do just that … we go to War and when all is said and done, there will only be one victor and not Jonny Fly, not Waylon Cash, not Nathan von Liebert, not Steve Orbit, not Steeltoe Joe, not Jonathan Jakobs, not Bobby Cairo, not ANYONE will stop me! I will be the last man standing and I will once again be … the WCF World Heavyweight Champion!
*Eric smiles at this proclamation*
Barbara Walters: Thank you for your time Eric Price and this candid interview and look inside the business.
Eric Price: The pleasure was all mine.
*The scene fades to black as the camera crew calls for the filming of the interview to cease*
Day IV: Thursday 9/26 – After The Fact
Scene: A Rude Awakening – 11 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*Eric is shown sitting on the couch watching television when his cell phone rings randomly*
Eric Price (on cell phone): Hello?
*Eric turns on his speaker phone on his cell phone*
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): Who the fuck do you think you are?
Eric Price (on the phone): Always nice to hear from you Sarah. What do you want?
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): You know what the fuck I’m talking about asshole. I saw some of that interview … normally I don’t care about anyone but myself but when I heard you talking about me, I thought I’d take a listen … you’re responsible for my success you dipshit?
Eric Price (on cell phone): Yeah … and?
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): I’m better than you. I’m better than everyone on the fucking roster and you fucking think you’re better than me.
Eric Price (on cell phone): See Sarah … it’s this that’s the reason why I am better than you. Without a plan, without some underhanded advantage, you never win.
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): I’m the best professional wrestler on this planet. You’re only alive because I’ve allowed you to live, you’ve only succeeded because I’ve allowed you to succeed.
Eric Price (on cell phone): Is that right? Did I eat, sleep, and shit also because you allowed it … maybe I’m breathing air because you allowed it … I’m talking to you and calling you a fucking pathetic arrogant bitch because you allowed it, am I right? Did the sun rise because allowed it as well?
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): Fuck you.
Eric Price (on cell phone): No Sarah, I took your crap before I knew the truth … now I’m not taking it anymore. Fuck off Sarah and this Sunday at War, you’re gonna be in a for a hell of a rude awakening. I hope those backstabbing assholes in Bravado are there to help you because if not, I will see to it that you never wrestle again!
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): Game on bitch!
Eric Price (on cell phone): Game on indeed.
*Eric hangs up the phone as he smirks and the scene fades to black*
Despite many wrinkles in the plan, it seemed that the result of the plan had been what was expected all along, Sarah Twilight as the World Champion with Eric Price in the background only as a supporting player. Eric Price then sought to acquire WCF from Jonny Fly after Fly had approached him with the prospect. This third interview will finalize the series and bring us up to War 2013.
Day III: Wednesday 9/25 – The Rise and Fall of EPPW
Scene I: The WCF Purchase, The Beginning of EPPW – 5:00 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*The scene opens up once again in Eric Price’s living room with him sitting in one of two plusg suede chairs, the one on the right for him and Barbara Walters seated on the left hand side. Today, there are three titles on display at the table with the TV as well in the middle of the two chairs, the US Title, the Internet Title, and the Elite Title, all with Eric’s name engraved on them. The camera crew signals for Barbara Walters to start the filming of the interview*
Barbara Walters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third and final night of the Eric Price interview. So far we’ve talked about your grand return in 2012, your rise to the top, the Chicago screw job, Aftermath, and we left off at the purchase of WCF. Last night, you said that Jonny Fly had approached you about a sale of the company.
Eric Price: That’s correct. Jonny Fly had become bored with running WCF and was tired of the day to day grind because he never could seem to please anyone, not that he cared so much about doing so but that it was getting grating to listen to all the whining and complaining in his view. So he approached me about purchasing the company. We had started seeing eye to eye on things and he knew I had the financial resources to buy him out so he naturally came to me and I saw a hell of an opportunity to improve the industry so I took it!
Barbara Walters: So you purchased WCF? I know you can’t disclose the amount but would you consider it a good deal.
Eric Price: It was a great deal, absolutely. I signed the papers and the deal was done. We agreed to do the big reveal at the Asesinato De Mayo pay-per-view event, which actually ended up being in June due to inclement weather in Mexico. Jonny Fly announced after the celebration of one year of Pantheon’s existence and told the world that he had sold the company to me, much to the shock of his brethren in Pantheon. I’ll never forget the reaction the live crowd and his comrades had of complete shock.
Barbara Walters: I take it they didn’t know at the time?
Eric Price: Probably not. I never really cared to find out because I was so engrossed in my purchase of the company that I was just ready to move in full steam ahead. And after he made the announcement, I came out during the pay-per-view and announced the leadership transition and the name change of the company from the Wrestling Championship Federation to Eric Price’s Professional Wrestling or EPPW for short. I also of course removed all the Pantheon members from the board of directors to be replaced with new leadership that I would name the following week.
Barbara Walters: A lot of people speculated that you did the name change to boost your own ego and vehemently criticized you for it.
*Eric smiles and chuckles a bit at this*
Eric Price: Oh yeah, I know. I know this is skipping ahead a bit but honestly, the biggest criticism I got during my tenure of running the company wasn’t that I fired some people, it wasn’t that I put my friends in power, it wasn’t even that I held titles … no, it was that I renamed the company. Oh good lord the attachment to three little letters you’d think were permanently tattooed on everyone or something. I never understood that this seemed to be the point of biggest contention about my ownership but I just shook my head and moved on with it. I did change it not to boost my ego but to signify a new era and for more publicity, which we got.
Barbara Walters: So the name change in your opinion was a success?
Eric Price: Absolutely, it did what it was supposed to do, it generated controversy and great publicity and we were off to a great start. The first thing I did was I restored Seth Lerch to power because honestly, I don’t see how Jonny Fly didn’t see the value of having a man like Seth who ran the company for so long and obviously knew how to keep it afloat; I don’t understand how he didn’t utilize his wisdom for this business. You see Barbara, I had endeavored in many types of business before but I’ve never been a wrestling promoter before and it’s always said that you will be marred with conflict if as a wrestler you try and become the promoter. But I ignored that and went on … how right that adage was.
Barbara Walters: So you brought back Seth and a few others into power and then you brought Sarah Twilight into the fold?
Eric Price: That’s correct, that was actually my idea. It coincided with the fact that Sarah felt it was time to reveal her true nature to the world because she had this sick fantasy about really crushing everyone’s hopes and dreams. I never was a huge proponent of that because in my opinion, the fans are what made our product and they are the ones buying the tickets and the merchandise … I was making a lot of money from that and I kind of hoped that her being liked by the fans would have changed her outlook somewhat but instead, it only made her even sicker and made her look even more forward to crushing their hopes and dreams.
Barbara Walters: So for business, you wanted her to not reveal the truth?
Eric Price: Actually, both for business and personal reasons. For business, obviously the merchandise sales were huge. Personally, I wanted her to be nice and I liked her as a nice person because she seemed so approachable, dare I say it … she seemed … human.
Barbara Walters: Some people complained that you fired them without reason from their positions of power as well as from their contracts. How much truth is there to that?
Eric Price: Like who, who complained?
Barbara Walters: One of the names brought up was Brad Kane.
Eric Price: Brad … I had a match with him at Asesinato De Mayo, I fired him mainly because he had been talking to me about retirement for a while and I figured it was as good a time as any to let him experience it. What a lot people don’t know is that after I fired him, I provided him with a great severance package and a retirement package so essentially, he has a great pension and is set for a good while.
Barbara Walters: Jay Price.
Eric Price: Oh that crybaby, first off, I didn’t fire his pathetic ass, I offered him a chance to keep his job as the Chief Financial Officer of the company but he flat out refused to work for me. He said that as long as I was running things, he would never work for me and he up and quit the same night the announcement of the transition was made. I later found out that he was one of the morons who complained about the name change … I can’t believe that such a little thing prevented him from working for me. Oh well, c’est la vie. I replaced him with Bobby Cairo. Unfortunately, Sarah hired him back a month later as a wrestler and then as Chief Financial Officer … whatever, he and I never saw eye to eye and still don’t get along very well mainly because he can’t get over the fact that I marginalized him to being “the other Price”.
Barbara Walters: Corey Black.
Eric Price: Another crybaby … I didn’t fire him either. He quit on me and also refused to work for me again … because of the name change, which was stupid in my opinion for him to quit over that triviality but in the end, I didn’t like him very much to begin with so I didn’t care if he stayed or left. Seth Lerch was his replacement.
Barbara Walters: Skyler Striker.
Eric Price: Striker … now there was an example of uselessness. I don’t know what the hell story he told Jonny Fly or what value he saw in him but to me, he was a waste of space and after his disappointing performance at Asesinato De Mayo, I showed him the door. The former Pantheon people whined and bitched but me … personally I didn’t care about that because he brought zero value to the organization.
Barbara Walters: Shannan Lerch.
Eric Price: Ok now Shannan … I didn’t fire Shannan and she didn’t quit either. For God knows what reason during my 2nd appreciation night in July, Sarah just started mercilessly beating her … I never saw such cold and uncaring eyes in my life and I still wish Shannan the best and have paid for her recovery and helped her as best I can. She’ll actually be back at War for a one night only appearance this Sunday to commentate and I look forward to seeing her again.
Barbara Walters: Moving on though, so Sarah revealed her true nature to the world.
Eric Price: Yes she did, I’ll never forget that night in Los Angeles when she bashed Jeff Purse with the steel chair. I had setup a World Title match under the guise of a rematch from Aftermath between myself and Sarah Twilight with Jeff Purse as the special guest referee. Everyone thought I was screwing Sarah out of the title and then firing her but when the shocker came … let me tell you something Barbara … pandemonium doesn’t even begin to describe what that was. I’d seen angry and hostile crowds before but that crowd in Los Angeles just came unglued when Sarah turned on them and they threw so much trash in the ring, hell, a beer can actually hit me in the eye and it left a small mark at the time … it was bad. But it was the end of an era because earlier in the evening, I had suspended Jonny Fly indefinitely from competition.
Barbara Walters: Why did you suspend Jonny Fly?
Eric Price: Why? Well, that night he had a match for leadership of Pantheon, a has been group that had run its course and was done. I felt no need to have him around anymore and he had expressed a desire to be away from the wrestling ring so I granted his wish forcibly and suspended him indefinitely … with pay as well. I effectively killed Pantheon that night and with Sarah turning on the world, she effectively killed Genesis with the knife she stuck in their backs. Orbit knew the whole time I think … he always hinted at it and made mention of it but I think he was the smartest one of that group and he knew what we were doing the whole time … at least I believe. I’ve never approached him to ask him about it personally.
Barbara Walters: So Genesis was dead, Pantheon was dead, there was no opposition left?
Eric Price: That’s correct, the stables were dead and the only power group that was left was the EPPW Executive Team, which collectively became known as Bravado. Jeff Purse got his World Title match against Sarah Twilight at Blast in Tokyo and she easily defeated him. This happened after Sarah revealed that she was behind the car accident all along, which was a shock to everyone because for months, I had been blamed for it. She took a sick pleasure in revealing it too as she looked at the dashed hopes and dreams of everyone and laughed … again, she seriously derived some type of orgasmic pleasure from it. Considering she never has sex, this was probably the closest she’d ever gotten to it.
Barbara Walters: I see. When we come back, we discuss opposition groups to Bravado and the relationship between Eric Price and Sarah Twilight as well as internal strife within Bravado. Stay with us.
*The camera crew signals that filming has stopped as Eric and Barbara relax as a 5 minute break is called*
Scene II: Bravado’s Enemies, Internal Strife, and the Sarah Twilight Situation – 5:25 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*The scene opens up with the same two plush suede chairs shown as the camera crew signals to Barbara Walters that they are about to resume filming.*
Barbara Walters: And welcome back ladies and gentlemen. We were discussing the beginning of EPPW and the start of Bravado. Was there and if so, what was the opposition to Bravado and EPPW?
Eric Price: Oh the opposition … it first started with FPV who said that as long as I was in charge of the company, he refused to defend his US Title. I thought that was bogus nonsense and an excuse to get out of his contractual obligations so I took him to task for it and I forced him to defend the title against me.
Barbara Walters: And that resulted in accusations of egocentrism?
Eric Price: Absolutely, everyone thought I was doing it simply to give myself a title but that was far from the truth. I did to lead by example that people in EPPW were going to compete and defend their titles regularly; just because I didn’t like them or they didn’t like me was not going to fly as an excuse for them not to perform. And at Blast, I beat FPV for the US Title; he bitched and complained like I knew he would but I didn’t care, I made my point to him.
Barbara Walters: Now what about Cryogenix?
Eric Price: Hahaha, Cryogenix, now there was much ado about nothing. Cryogenix is a perfect example of when egotism, nepotism, and stupidity meet all at once. It was Jay Price, Corey Black, Jeff Purse, Steve Orbit, FPV, and all were led by the Polar Phantasm; it was supposed to be the group that was going to take down the big bad EPPW and the almighty Bravado because they were secret agents that were going to save the world from everyone and everything while leading normal day lives and they all were going to be in a top secret bunker underneath … you know what, I don’t even care. From the onset of it, the fact that Jay Price and Corey Black were in it doomed it enough but to have the Polar Phantasm lead this … it might as well have started in reverse because that was failure for sure. It became so convoluted and outright ridiculous that they really thought and started buying they were actually secret agents for the government and that they had a secret bunker, which ended up being the basement of Polar Phantasm’s mom. I … I couldn’t help but laugh honestly that Polar Phantasm and yes, I’m sure this was mostly him had this absurd idea that he was going to defeat Bravado this way.
Barbara Walters: So did he attack you or your guys?
Eric Price: Not really. He spent so much time dedicated to his filmmaking with some lame ass TV show that only got a pilot produced because no one picked it up due to how smarmy, arrogant, and stupid it was … seriously, it was so full of itself. I thought Sarah and I were arrogant, they made us look like humility defined. It was one hour of more glad-handing and nepotism than I could take so I knew why no network picked up their pilot. Of course Polar Phantasm, whose real name is Cameron Bankston, let’s get that clear simply was devastated that his “artistic vision” was destroyed.
Barbara Walters: So you fired him?
Eric Price: I wish I’d gotten the pleasure of doing so. He decided to walk out and go home crying to his mommy because he didn’t get his little TV series picked up. No one cared or gave a fuck.
Barbara Walters: What about the Masked Man?
Eric Price: His exact intentions are unknown but he stood against stables and against EPPW and Bravado. He took the fight to me for a while and I took the fight right back to him. He manipulated the system to make himself the last entrant into the War match while making Sarah and myself numbers one and two respectively, giving us a huge disadvantage. I know who he is and let me just say that Masked Man … when you reveal yourself, it won’t make a different who you are because I’ll still beat you and remind you why I am the best. While I appreciate your support last week against Sarah Twilight, I can’t forget the hell we’ve been through the past few months and when we’re in that ring this Sunday, you and I … it’s just business.
Barbara Walters: Then came S-PAC.
Eric Price: Oh S-PAC … now there was an interesting set of individuals. They hated the fact that we were in power and decided to do something about it and destroyed my set. I thought they could have been great ring crew employees because they did it so quickly but seriously speaking, S-PAC claimed they were standing up to the tyranny of Bravado but in reality, the only reason they were mad was because we had the power and they didn’t; it was a case of pure unadulterated jealousy. I had my main issues with Ana Valentine who was with them at that time. Ever since I helped Seth Lerch win the Internet Title in July costing her the match and the title and subsequently beating her up, she could never forgive me or let go of that. She decided to make it personal.
Barbara Walters: So you two had a street fight.
Eric Price: Oh boy did we ever, we beat the hell out of each other and it was probably one of the most violent intergender matches in history, save for my match with Sarah Twilight at Aftermath. I then after the match after I beat her fired her! I did it to prove a point that no one was going to mess around with me like that.
Barbara Walters: But it backfired.
*Eric chuckles a bit*
Eric Price: Oh did it ever. The next week, she comes back dressed in a suit and pretending to be me as “EricA Price” … I didn’t know what to do or say about that. I will admit however that the segment we did where I argued with myself so to speak … that was gold and became the newly highest rated segment in the history of Slam. I was as shocked as anyone. That was not planned, no scripts, nothing, just what came to mind. I hired her back at the Revenge pay-per-view a week later after some BS with the ACLU claiming that she was gender confused and could not fire her. I hired her back with the condition that she drop the charade, which she did.
Barbara Walters: I’d like to discuss another member of the EPPW Executive Team that didn’t work out, Bobby Cairo.
Eric Price: Bobby Cairo is an interesting individual. He actually was the man who brokered the deal and made it possible for me to buy WCF from Jonny Fly and I truly respected his legendary status, which is why I named him my Chief Financial Officer. With a man who was known as the Godfather of WCF on my side, I knew he’d be a great asset to the team.
Barbara Walters: But then he left the Executive Team to form a tag team with Odin Balfore.
Eric Price: I to this day still do not understand why he left Bravado and his position as the Chief Financial Officer of EPPW to join up with some washed up has been like Odin Balfore. Worse yet, he didn’t even warn me, didn’t send in a resignation or even drop me an e-mail or text message telling me he was going to leave to do this, he just up and did it. One day I saw him supporting Odin Balfore and was as shocked as anyone.
Barbara Walters: Are you mad at him?
Eric Price: Not really. It’s Bobby’s prerogative to do what he likes but I would have liked an explanation from him for why he did what he did, he never really gave me one personally. I wouldn’t have fired him or anything, I just would have wished him the best in his new team but … I just never understood the reasoning behind him joining up with Balfore to form “The Thickness”. Who knows, I may never understand it but it was his call to make and he made it. Doesn’t change the fact that at War, I will easily and happily eliminate Balfore and Cairo if I have to. See … a lot of people fear Cairo for his great talent but I do not … I respect him yes but I do not fear him and I will stand toe to toe with him and show him why I am today’s best wrestler just as he was the best many years prior.
Barbara Walters: Now back to the Sarah Twilight situation. You named her CEO and Executive Vice President of Human Resources of EPPW. At Ultimate Showdown, she lost the World Title, which caused a short disappearance for her.
Eric Price: That’s correct. Her loss to Steve Orbit was devastating to her and she just decided to take time off, no explanation, nothing. She just up and vanished. I honestly felt bad for her and visited her in the hospital with some flowers but she just threw them back at me.
Barbara Walters: It is my understanding that you kissed her at the hospital, is that true?
Eric Price: She was sleeping; she looked so cute so I gave her a little affectionate kiss, nothing more. I wished her the best and I was saddened by the fact that she was hurt.
Barbara Walters: Is this when you started falling in love with her?
Eric Price: Honestly speaking, I had been in love with her for a while but the feeling clearly was never mutual; at the time I didn’t understand that however and thought she loved me back as well and it was just her way to be cold. It was a good time, EPPW was well on its way, I was still a title holder after Ultimate Showdown as Internet Champion and then Elite Champion thanks to Seth surprising me with a gift, at Revenge I beat Jay Price in a great ladder match to also become the US Champion, a triple champion, that was huge!
Barbara Walters: Didn’t that cause accusations of even more egocentrism?
Eric Price: Oh absolutely, everyone thought it was unfair that I was a triple champion but yet I’d won and defended all my titles legitimately so in the end, their claims were unfounded. And also unknown is a new talent initiative I started.
Barbara Walters: New talent initiative?
Eric Price: That’s correct. During my tenure in the company, I started a new talent initiative because I felt it was best to start recruiting new wrestlers into the company to help the company grow. People get tired of seeing the same people over and over and it was time to make new stars. Despite a lot of accusations that I tried to make the show all about myself, I really was more about promoting new talent and you see that with the signings I had of Matthew Robinson, Lionheart, Ryan Rhodes, Seifer Black Armstrong, Jordan Caliban, Jon Michaels, John Barber, all new faces that came in to EPPW under my tenure because I truly believed in helping out new talent. Not only that, but an oft forgotten fact is that during my tenure, Sarah cut this by the way now that she owns the company, but I offered and provided health insurance to all my wrestlers and employees, an on-staff doctor that could be requested at any time in case you felt you had health issues, I issued raises to nearly everyone as well as started merit based evaluations that resulted in yearly increases for a lot of the talent; I really tried to better the environment for the wrestlers with clean facilities, locker rooms shared by less people. I tried nearly everything to improve working conditions but it’s often forgotten simply because I renamed the company.
Barbara Walters: Did you seek any glory out of it?
Eric Price: Not really, I did it because it felt like the right thing to do.
Barbara Walters: What about the segments you forced Jeff Purse to do weekly praising you?
Eric Price: I suppose I had to do something for me and it was egotistical for sure but I threw my weight around on this. I picked Jeff because I was sick and tired of him accusing me of running him over so this was my payback to him and ultimately, he ended up insulting me each and every week so I fired him in early September. In hindsight, he had the right to insult me after what I’d done and I shouldn’t have fired him … I hear he’s in the popcorn business now.
Barbara Walters: When we come back, we wrap up this interview with the big question, what caused you to marry Sarah Twilight and what are your plans for War. We’ll be right back.
*The camera crew signals that the filming is paused for now as the scene fades to black*
Scene III: The Wedding and The Fallout to War – 5:45 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*The scene opens up with the same plush suede chairs, as Eric and Barbara are ready to finish up the interview. The camera crew cues in Barbara*
Barbara Walters: And welcome back to the final part of this interview with Eric Price. We now get to the big question … why did you propose to Sarah Twilight?
Eric Price: At the time … I loved her and I thought she really loved me as well so I did what I felt was natural and I asked her to marry me. I thought that would bring some real happiness into her life as it would into mine. All my associates also led me to believe that it was genuine affection; sure she was her same cold self on the outside but I thought on the inside she would have felt some joy for the wedding and our marriage.
Barbara Walters: It was so patently obvious though that she didn’t care a bit for marrying you. How could you not see it?
*Eric chuckles a bit as a tear forms in his eye*
Eric Price: Women have an advantage you see … Sarah blinded me with love and by that I mean that I fell blindly in love with her, I didn’t see the reality, I didn’t believe the reality. I watch back now and realize what the reality of the whole thing was but at the time, I had no idea. When the wedding day approached, I was so excited and ready to get married but before the wedding, Jeff Purse approached me and warned me about the consequences it would cause. I should have listened to him you know … but I was so stupid at that moment and didn’t think straight. Before the wedding, I remember I called Seth simply to reassure me that everything would be alright and he did; of course he had no idea what was about to happen.
Barbara Walters: Did you plan on giving the company to Sarah Twilight?
Eric Price: I had planned it out as a wedding gift. Originally, I was going to save it for the honeymoon but I just got so overexcited and consumed by the wedding and the emotion it generated in me caused me to be stupid and give her the company before she even accepted my hand in marriage. Then when she said no … when she exclaimed no … I just couldn’t believe it, I thought it was like a horrible nightmare and that I was just imagining the worst possible thing. But when my former friends started beating me up … I knew … I knew I was betrayed.
Barbara Walters: You still called out to Sarah to help you.
Eric Price: As I said, I was blindly in love and still my mind had not processed what was happening. It wasn’t until all that had happened and I was unceremoniously fired that I realized what it was … it broke my heart and devastated me. I seriously went into seclusion for a few days not knowing what to do.
Barbara Walters: What brought you back so quickly though?
Eric Price: Honestly … the need for closure and revenge. If I stayed home, then Sarah had won and I wasn’t about to let her win without putting up a fight so I persuaded Seth into rehiring me and then I surprised Sarah by showing up on Slam this past Sunday and made sure to humiliate her and also to get even with my former teammates in Bravado. You see, I was blind for a long long time but I was bling no longer; I had woken up to reality and Sarah … she was in for a dose of reality.
Barbara Walters: So do you have any parting words for Sarah as you head into War?
Eric Price: Oh absolutely and this goes to Sarah Twilight and her Bravado cronies … you guys turned your back on me after all I did was try and help you. You turned your backs on me to join up with that heartless bitch Sarah Twilight. First to Steeltoe Joe, Jon Jakobs, and Nathan von Liebert … you joined up with the head snake and now you live with her, she turned on the world, she turned on me, you’re next. As far as to Sarah Twilight … I can’t wait to see you in the War match. We’re still the number one and two picks for the match to start up and I can’t wait to get my hands on you because thanks to your own rules, this is no disqualification, which means when I get in that ring, anything and everything I do to you is 100% legal. If I were not in that ring, I’d get arrested for what I’m going to do to you because mark my words, I haven’t forgiven you and I certainly haven’t forgotten how you played me … you think you control the game but in reality, I control this game and I’m going to beat you at your own game. See Sarah … you may not care about being powerful, owning the company, or having money but I know the one thing you do care about … the WCF World Heavyweight Championship and when I beat you for it this Sunday, I will make it mine and much like before, I will be responsible for my own success. See Sarah … unlike you, I don’t need anyone to make my success, I make my own and I reach a far higher level than you ever will so as sincerely as you accepted my marriage proposal, I just as sincerely wish you good luck.
Barbara Walters: Any final words?
Eric Price: War is this Sunday and I intend to win it. I made my come back and I am making a point that Sarah Twilight no matter what she does and whom she betrays will always be second best … at War this Sunday, we do just that … we go to War and when all is said and done, there will only be one victor and not Jonny Fly, not Waylon Cash, not Nathan von Liebert, not Steve Orbit, not Steeltoe Joe, not Jonathan Jakobs, not Bobby Cairo, not ANYONE will stop me! I will be the last man standing and I will once again be … the WCF World Heavyweight Champion!
*Eric smiles at this proclamation*
Barbara Walters: Thank you for your time Eric Price and this candid interview and look inside the business.
Eric Price: The pleasure was all mine.

Day IV: Thursday 9/26 – After The Fact
Scene: A Rude Awakening – 11 PM – Eric Price’s House in Pacific Palisades, CA
*Eric is shown sitting on the couch watching television when his cell phone rings randomly*
Eric Price (on cell phone): Hello?
*Eric turns on his speaker phone on his cell phone*
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): Who the fuck do you think you are?
Eric Price (on the phone): Always nice to hear from you Sarah. What do you want?
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): You know what the fuck I’m talking about asshole. I saw some of that interview … normally I don’t care about anyone but myself but when I heard you talking about me, I thought I’d take a listen … you’re responsible for my success you dipshit?
Eric Price (on cell phone): Yeah … and?
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): I’m better than you. I’m better than everyone on the fucking roster and you fucking think you’re better than me.
Eric Price (on cell phone): See Sarah … it’s this that’s the reason why I am better than you. Without a plan, without some underhanded advantage, you never win.
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): I’m the best professional wrestler on this planet. You’re only alive because I’ve allowed you to live, you’ve only succeeded because I’ve allowed you to succeed.
Eric Price (on cell phone): Is that right? Did I eat, sleep, and shit also because you allowed it … maybe I’m breathing air because you allowed it … I’m talking to you and calling you a fucking pathetic arrogant bitch because you allowed it, am I right? Did the sun rise because allowed it as well?
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): Fuck you.
Eric Price (on cell phone): No Sarah, I took your crap before I knew the truth … now I’m not taking it anymore. Fuck off Sarah and this Sunday at War, you’re gonna be in a for a hell of a rude awakening. I hope those backstabbing assholes in Bravado are there to help you because if not, I will see to it that you never wrestle again!
Sarah Twilight (on cell phone): Game on bitch!
Eric Price (on cell phone): Game on indeed.
*Eric hangs up the phone as he smirks and the scene fades to black*
