As TakeDown continues live from Connecticut, after a word from the bill-payers the iconic phrase brings the fans to their feet.
The theme that follows doesn't play though like the people expect it to. Instead we see a spotlight on a side of the stage where a short black guy in a purple suit similar to the kind Syrus himself wears stands with an old style microphone...
"Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls, children of all ages. Will you please draw your attention to the center ring at this time. XWA proudly presents to one and all the single greatest thing in the history of things. The real Showstopper. His royal hotness. Hard working Mr. Dynamite! The greatest show on earth or any planet with signs of life...SYRUS...THE...ENTAHTAIIIIIIINNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
That's when Syrus emerges from the back to yet another standing ovation, making his way to the ring already dressed in his ring gear and that purple afro shirt that's selling like hotcakes. "Holy Calamity" rolls over the PA while he gives the double point to his hype man and then he makes the walk down the aisle, slapping five to the fans hanging off of the edges. He steps into the ring, where a microphone conveniently sits in waiting for him.
"Now I got one question for ya'll out there? Are you ready for this? Are you ready for Syrus Vs. Magnus II right here in the middle of this ring and all points around it for that matter?"
Crowd: "YEAH!!!!"
"Well I'm damn sure ready. I'm always ready. I can tell you one man who probably isn't ready though, and that's you Magnus. See you made the fatal mistake of underestimating last week, and it cost you.
See the morale of the story here is that you can never judge a book by it's cover. You know ya'll I learned that lesson last year myself when I slept on Chetty-Chetty-Bang-Bang-Dixon. It doesn't matter how bad-ass serious you are, the fact of the matter is that on any night you can get that ass beat, whether your Mr. Serious or whether your as glorious as I am. I don't know if you understand that yet, Maggie...cuz it seems to me like you still think you got this match in the bag."
Now Syrus is pacing back and forth in the ring.
"Last week I stole the show! Last week I put on the performance they're still talking about as we speak! If you don't believe the hype like Flava said back in the day, then you got a problem on your hands playa, cuz I am a problem. Mr. King Of Sport, I am both Sport AND Entertainment rolled in one sexy ass package baby! You're just gonna have to deal with that somehow my man. What's the slogan say? Oh yeah..."It's A New Day" or something like that. Well Maggie, you better start getting caught up on how things go down in this ring, cuz I ain't going nowhere brothah!"
That's when we hear Magnus' theme begin to play. Syrus stops in his tracks and simply extends his hands to the camera in the direction of the stage where Magnus is sure to step out from with some kind of response.
Can you dig it?
CAN YOU DIG IT???
CAN YOU DIG IT???
