“ How in the hell dare he address me like that. Doesn’t he know who I am? Does he not realize what mess he has gotten himself into? I’m not some bitch from WWA like Moe Hunter, Zach Robbinson or Nightmare. Hell I’m not even some piece of shit hired for the boring matches like Triple H or Sadistic Tony. I am Chris Mother Fucking Van I Will Kick Your Ass X! His ass is busy signing away those checks but one thing is for sure when the bank call’s wanting it’s damn money I am coming to collect. You can bet for damn sure I will collect to. He talk’s this big game but none of his accolades mean a damn thing. This isn’t NCA, TNT, or WWA. This is XCW! This is where the real heat is. This is where the real fight happens. Dante better hope to god I show him mercy…. He better hope to god I cut him some slack….. This puke thinks he is going to stop me….. He need’s to check the book’s. He need’s to see who puts the asses in the seats……Tuesday Meltdown is going to be fun….. Meltdown will be great…..”

~{Cameras open out in a dark alley located in downtown Philadelphia. The alley is dark and crowded with dumpsters, trashcans and loose debris. From the back of the alley you see a man standing. He is wearing a pair of black Nike shoes some gray wind breakers and a white wife beater shirt. He has a black bandanna covering up his scarred head. He has a snarl on his face as he begins to walk to the edge of the street.}~

CVX: When did the space ship land? When did we let martians walk around here and begin to speak. Because that must be what Dante is. Because no earth born human in there right mind would dare even think of saying a pile of crap like that to me. Anyone with half a brain knows who the hell I am and anyone with a full brain knows exactly what I’ve done….. Any real wrestler can also tell what I can do in the ring and they know full well that any time the plan on stepping into the ring with me they best train as hard as they can before the match then bring every piece of talent they have inside their scrawny bones to the ring. Chris Van X leaves nothing out to hand and he will be damned if some washed up piece of shit former WWA trash like Dante will be the one to beat him.

~{Chris has reached the end of the alley and is now standing on a busy street. He look’s both ways for a moment then turns and begins to walk down the sidewalk which is rather empty. Chris peers into a few ships on his way then turns back to the camera to speak.}~

CVX: Dante I saw your little spill you did the other night, quite funny if you ask me. You show this house which everyone with a inch worth of cock knows damn well wasn’t yours and anyone with more than a inch knows it wasn’t in New Orleans. You sit in this house and show off all your rich people shit. It all look’s nice if I decide to get married again and retire. But that isn’t the way I live. I don’t care for no damn paintings and I sure as hell don’t care for no mansion. If I wanted one of those I would go over to Curtis Schmitt house and kick his sorry old carcass out and take his. Tossing around your fancy shit wont do you any good when it comes to me. Dante your world may come crashing down like New Orleans did to Katrina. You don’t know what you are in for,

~{Chris comes to a small convenient store near the corner. Chris walks in and look’s around. There is a group of coolers to the back and Chris makes a line towards them. He reaches them then spots the beer. Chris grabs a tall boy of Bud Lite then turns and goes back towards the front. He gets to the register and places the beer on the counter. The cashier rings it up then look’s at him.}~

Cashier: Will this be all?

CVX: Now get me a pack of Newport Kings in the box.

~{The cashier obliges and reaches above his head and comes back with the pack of cigarettes. He scans them then hit’s total and look’s back up at the King of Hardcore.}~

Cashier: That will be eight twenty four.

~{Chris digs in his pocket and comes back with a ten dollar bill. He slides is to the cashier who gets a disturbed look on his face when he has to un-wad the bill. He then makes the change and hands it to Chris who stuff’s it into his pocket. The cashier places the beer into a brown paper sack and Chris takes the cigarettes and stuffs them into his pocket. As Chris exit’s the store you hear his cell phone ring. Chris pull’s it out and answers the phone.}~

CVX: Yea,……

CVX: I’ll be right there,

CVX: Because I said so,

CVX: Do you want this or not?

CVX: I knew you’d see it my way.

~{Chris slams his phone shut then puts it back in his pocket. He then takes and pop’s the tab on his beer. He turns it up to his mouth and licks his lips. He look’s back at the camera as he is walking.}~

CVX: This is it Dante, this is the life, fuck the mansion, fuck the paintings, Pour yourself a beer and get a smoke. That other shit is for amateurs. When you come to the big leagues you do it the big way. Your in the big leagues son. This is for real, this isn’t a game. You want to climb to the top? Well I suggest to you start at the bottom where it’s safe. Let me ask this,….. When you go to get on a ladder to climb up do you jump straight to the top rung? No! You start on the bottom and go one at a time. It makes no sense to go to the top to climb the ladder. Dante you must work your way up. You must come from the bottom just like everyone else. If not you just might fall completely off.

~{Chris Van X has returned to the alley in which we first saw him. He look’s around for a moment then from the shadows appears yet another man. This man is dressed in a business suit with a brown trench coat. He comes into closer view of the camera and you can see it’s former UWWF play by play man Tony Lockton. He look’s up at Chris with a look of frustration.}~

TL: Why in the world couldn’t we do this at your place, or in the arena or at least in a coffee shop?

CVX: What the matter Lock? You thirsty?…… Here take a sip of my beer.

TL: No thanks Van X….. Let’s just get this over with…..

CVX: Whoa, wait a minute Lockton. If your not interested in doing this you can go back to doing whatever it is the hell you do, I just thought you might like to get a pay check.

TL: Fine, lets do it. This will be fine for a setting.

CVX: Good that’s what I like to hear from you, Go ahead and start whenever you like.

TL: Well lets first jump right into one of the biggest topics going around. What are your thoughts on the invasion, and your thoughts of Jeremy Clarkson ending it the way he did?

CVX: The invasion was nothing more than a cheap attempt to get some crappy wrestlers in the spotlight. It was a miserable attempt at a take over and only one time in the entire invasion did the WWA get the best of XCW. Jeremy Clarkson finally saw that those poor fool’s where going to drag XCW down to the depths they did their own federation and he made the right choice by ending it. Sure we could have beat them in some big four on four match…. Hell two of them even had a chance to main event our show, They failed at that attempt as well. Clarkson made the right move…..

TL: Another hot topic going around right now is the sudden firing of Nightmare. Some people have already stepped up and claimed this was a bad mistake by Clarkson.,….. What do you think of the move?

CVX: I say great move for XCW! Great move for Jeremy Clarkson. Nightmare tried to lead this war against XCW. Too bad for him the poor fool’s on his side couldn’t even bring a damn battle. He has been a problem backstage since he lost to Bonez for the job as vice president. He isn’t worth having around I think Clarkson made yet another smart move…..

TL: Well Chris let me get your thoughts on the current Worlds Champion Mortis Magnus.

CVX: Well we haven’t seen much of our champion actually. The way he won the belt is a little coward like if you ask me…. But hey he walked away as the champ. But this week he is climbing into the ring with one of the most focused men I have ever laid my eyes on. The man is dead set on capturing the belt and he look’s more determined than I have ever seen him before. I this Acid is going to rip a new one for Mortis and our beloved champ will make one of the shortest reigns in XCW history.

TL: Chris another big question floating around the locker room, the internet sites and the front office is who ran over Cyrus. Now speculation is pointing at some WWA men but what do you think?

CVX: Well lets see, it’s hard to point fingers at someone because you honestly don’t know anything and only Cyrus knows who hit him, and obviously Cyrus is not ready to let the rest of us in on this secret. Now one thing is for sure though, whoever did hit Cyrus was attempting to take him completely out of the game. They weren’t looking to just get his attention they where looking to end his career. But I get the funny feeling that one mister Zach Robbinson is going to be the one behind this little scheme.

TL: Wow, you think Robbinson did this? That’s a major speculation. But putting all other subjects aside lets jump into the one at hand. This week you have been booked against Dante, the war of words between you two has become quite fierce so far. What are your thoughts of him and what are your thoughts going into one of the biggest matches on this huge card.

CVX: First thing is first, Dante is more of that WWA trash we cant stand. So my thoughts on him are this, he sucks…. Second thing this match isn’t just a regular match anymore. Dante has decided to push the envelope a bit and I am waiting to see how he reacts. I am quite certain that Dante has no earthly idea what he is coming to get into. He may have been a world champion in some other federation but one this is for sure. He didn’t have to face anyone like me there….. Chris Van X is like no other and is better than any other. This match for him will be something he need’s to get use to and that is defeat. I am not interested in playing mind games with him. When he comes to the ring against Chris Van X he can damn well bet his ass will be kicked.

TL: Well Chris that’s all I really have right now. I really appreciate the interview,

CVX: Whatever Lock,

TL: Well I’m going to go for safety now, thanks again.

~{Tony Lockton turns and begins to exit the dark alley. Van X watches him for a minute then takes a sip of his beer. He digs in his pocket and comes out with the pack of cigarettes. He bites the plastic wrapper and tears it off with his teeth. He then pop’s one into his mouth and lights it up then look’s back at the camera.}~

CVX: Dante finally shows up huh, finally makes his voice heard….. Well Dante should have kept his mouth shut, it’d been a lot easier on him….. I would have bee a lot easier on him. But now this scum bag wants to try and bring it to a different level. Now he wants to come play the game with me….. Chris Van X the master of the game…. The game isn’t what Triple H is trying to sell. The game is something beyond anything you have ever entered. This is something I live for. This is something I do, Dante I breathe this in my lungs and exhale this through my mouth. Dante you may wonder what I speak of but anyone who knows Chris Van X and has had to battle him knows that I am speaking of Pain…. Dante I heard you say you play rough, you want to inflict pain….. I say to you bring what you can, do what you wish. For the pain you bring will be nothing compared to the pain you take,

~{Chris takes a drag off his smoke and then exhales it out. He then raises his beer up and guzzles down a few gulps. He looks back at the camera and smirks slightly.}~

CVX: Dante, Pain is something I am all to familiar with, I’ve been handed my fair share, and I have dished out even more. Pain is something you can tolerate, pain is something you can deal with. But the thing is Dante when I bring pain it wont be the kind you can ignore, when I bring the hurt you wont be able to deal with it. When I bring it to the plate you best be ready to take it…… This match in XCW isn’t for some title, it isn’t for some main event, it isn’t even a big pay per view match up. This is just another match for me, just another week.

CVX: You said you don’t respect me? That you spit on the ground I walk on? I say to you go ahead and spit, I say don’t respect me. I’m not worried about it. Respect isn’t anything I value, just go out and ask Maddog. So you can spit all you want, because when it comes down to the time I will be just as ok to take your face and rub it in your own spit. I don’t mind your disrespect. It’s not like you’re the first person to ever come along and disrespect me….. Your threats don’t mean much, they are empty promises that you are unable to fulfill. Yet you stand there and claim to be able to do it, well to you this challenge goes out. If you are able to beat me like you claim, if you can back up your threats. I will stand in the ring and say you are the better man, I will admit that I lost and was beaten, but Dante one thing is for sure, when Tuesday night is over and you look back at the match and the week leading to it. You will say “Damn, I sure do wish I missed my plane. It’d been a lot easier to call and say I couldn’t make it than to fight him again.” Because Dante the simple fact of the matter is you cant hang in the ring with me. You can’t stand toe to toe with me. You cant beat me! Dante your nothing but another notch on the win column. You said you want to end my career? I say bring it on. Do what you can Dante, but whatever you bring you better be prepared to take the same back and even more. Don’t expect me to bow, don’t expect me to show fear….. I will only show pain, I will show you pain like you have never seen before. This match may be one of the first of many meetings between us so you need to take some notes. The biggest note is notice how I back up my words. Notice how I don’t back down….. You want to make me bleed from head to toe? Well it wont be the first time I have had blood bursting out of my body. I’m quite sure you making me bleed wont be the last. If it’s pain you want….It’s going to be pain you will get….. I’ll bring you the PAIN!

~{Chris takes the last swallow of his tall boy then tosses the empty can into a nearby dumpster. He takes a puff off his smoke then flicks the empty butt to the ground and walks away from the alley as the camera fades.}~
