- Over head shot of Los Angeles, California from the rooftop of a very tall building. We pan around the city as Torture stands near the edge of the roof's two foot wall and looks down at the city.
Torture (Deep, Low Voice): Wrestling Championship Federation isn't what it used to be. The transformation happened quickly. From the beginning it was doomed as Seth Lerch's arch nemesis Gravedigger took control of everything and everyone in WCF. My first encounter with Gravedigger came at his expense as he thrust himself into MY World Title match against Corey Black. I defeated them for said, World Title, and then defeated Gravedigger one on one in a Casket Match at Thirteen. I've seen the big names come and go, and I've defeated most, but never have I seen someone with so much control and ego that it made me think twice about myself. If you knew me personally, you would completely understand that statement.
Jobbers were signed to bigger contracts, the main event'ers were forced off programming, and the television ratings would drop as Gravedigger and his evil empire the Dark Side would run everything Seth Lerch ever built right in to the ground. Lerch would try to rally the troops and invest in what the WCF had to offer to get control back but conceited defeat early, but it was then, when Seth laid down the ground work for what now is WCF's last chance, the last opportunity it has to save it's self from Gravedigger and his henchmen.
I kept quiet. I was going just fine doing my own thing and running my own business. I defeated superstar after superstar just like I have been since 2004 and I never looked back. I noticed Seth put together a team, a team that consisted of the men who recently tried to 'save' Wrestling Championship Federation from the firm grasp of Gravediggers evil hands. Corey Black and I have unfinished business, but he had to lead the charge or WCF as we know it would have been destroyed and careers would be ruined. Seth then put Logan on the team and threw a curve ball no one saw coming. He added the Legendary Dake Ken on the team. The team was set, and the fight was on.. but wait... Seth Lerch needed one more person. Needed a.. 'hero'.. to save what he's built for over a decade.
Enter: Captain Awesome. Enter: Torture. I stayed low and I kept my mouth shut and I let Seth Lerch construct the team to take down evil and win his beloved federation back. I stand here today, honestly telling you I was going to have nothing to do with this. I was going to stay out... until my legacy was brought to attention. You question my Icon status? Gravedigger questions my loyalty to a company that birthed me? Seth asks, demands, and then begs for my help? For me to lead the team into dark times, in to a very black cloud full of evil, and hate to better protect his business, his company? You knocked on the door of your last ditch effort, Seth, your hail mary, your... hero. I heard the knock.. and I answered.
I saw the numbers game, I saw it with my own two eyes, and I thought about it for over two hours that night while I sat in my dressing room, while I opened my locker over and over again, should I put on the suit? Should I clench the gold I proudly display around my waist, think about the consequences if Gravedigger continues to run this company, and bite my lip and run out there and save WCF's team? Everyone knows I'm bad, but sometimes I put on the mask of good and I clean up the garbage that is the Dark Side. Wrestling Championship Federation needed it, the fans wanted it, and Seth Lerch asked for it. Torture came to the rescue.
I heard Corey Blacks strong, prideful stance on what our lives have become. He knows just like I do, that business is business, and sometimes your professional wrestling career is boosted by the people you surround yourself with, and sometimes personal matters boil over into the ring and you have to do what's right for you. Corey Black and I will have to rest matters at hands if and only for one night just to get back what we were going to start in the first place; The real WCF.
Dake Ken had some strong words. I understood his shallow demand for WCF Gold and his deep cry for help. Dake knows that if WCF has a fighting chance, it lies inside me and he asked for my help on Monday just like everyone else did. I was the man with the golden ticket. The mighty protector. Dake Ken will get his shot at Gold after Sunday, it'll just be in the form of defeat like last time. This hero never loses.
I promise you, Wrestling Championship Federation, that on Sunday I will defeat the dark misty cloud of evil that is known as The Dark Side along side of the 'Team' and break off the grasp of Gravedigger and take back what is yours. I can no longer sit back and watch the company I work for turn to complete shit. You all have asked for it, and I have decided that on Sunday I will keep WCF safe from evil. You've cried for protection long enough. I'm here now. Torture, the real Mr. WCF will answer the call. I'm here to save you.
- We now see Torture walking back to the door that leads to the inside of the very tall building he was standing on. The scene fades out.
