Survival Of The Fittest (XXL/Soul Survivor)

["The R*" Robby Sylk]

*NOTE: This promo is to begin a XXL/Robby Sylk feud, but it also serves to form up teams for the Soul Survivor event as well.*

The Columbia Center begin the sea of boos once the sound of Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" begins to play. That means that Robby Sylk is coming to the ring, whether they like it or not. The always cocky and arrogant Sylk had a little bit more pep in his step this week, what with a another successful showing at MayDay.

BuZZ: Like him or hate him Roachie, but you've got to respect Robby Sylk ability. The man is on a roll right now!

Roach: Well, I don't like him...not one bit. But just because he's a jerk doesn't take away that talent you're talking about. He's still undefeated in singles competition after MayDay, and he all but dominated that 4 Way Dance against Christian Pryce, Chet Dixon and XXL. He's good and he knows it, that's why people dislike him like I do.

In one of those flashy "Leisure Suits", he steps into the ring amid the jeers of the SC crowd. Robby takes it all in with a smile, looking out at the crowd underneath some D&G shades.

Ladies and gentlemen, mainly ladies of course. Can I call it or can I call it? At Mayday, you saw it for yourself...the thing that I've been saying all along. The fact that your boy Robby-Rob is as Jim Jones would say...BALLLLLIIINNN'!!!

Ha Ha Ha, I bet you jabronis didn't know what hit you did ya'!!! About the only reason I didn't sweep all three of you away was because Chet The Chump decided he wanted to sneak in and capitalize on MY dirtywork...but I made him pay for that now didn't I? Like I said it there, I'll say it here...there's me...and then there's you. Me=Awesomeness, You=not. Don't you ever, EVER get that twisted again!

But XXL, Xander. Xavier. Luther. What happened out there dude? Was it ring rust? Was it a slow start out of the gates or something, because you my man looked like you were on neutral in that ring. That's not gonna cut it bro, because I run on overdrive...but don't think that means I'm fast, my freaks know better.

I'm not done with you, not by a long shot. I should be satisfied that I ended your night early but I'm not. You know what satisfaction is gonna be for me? Finishing you off. LL Cool J once said "Don't Call It A Comeback", well for you this isn't one of those. It's a farewell tour! When I'm done with you, you're gonna be a long lost memory, and then it'll be one less jabroni I have to worry about on my way to getting MY World Championship belt.

I was thinking about something though while I was riding to this place...and oh yeah...Columbia sucks balls like you wouldn't believe...come on now, like you didn't see that coming! I snap on every city there is because there's no place in the world that's high class enough for my ass, and you people are as low brows as they get!

Roach: Well there goes the idea of a SC branch of the Robby Sylk fanclub...

ANYWAY *chuckling* I want the big teddy bear to come out here and listen to what I've got to say face to face. I know that you're back there Luther. Front and center, we don't have all night...even if I can go all night.

[Xander Xavier Luther]

The sounds of Little Brother "Loving It" is the instant response to Sylk's rambling on, and XXL steps out from the back looking all at once annoyed and determined. There was no question that the man was focussed on Sylk, what he had to say...and getting some measure of payback for what went down at Mayday. He got into the ring, but he wasn't going to let Robby say what he wanted with having something to say himself.

Now you know something Sylk? I'm not going to come out here and say that what happened at Mayday was the result of ring rust, because that would be making an excuse, and I don't do excuses. I would much rather come out here and make results. You can find out really quick that there's a difference between being in the ring with me with two other guys and being in the ring with me one-on-one.

As for me, I know exactly what the difference between those two concepts are. Mayday was about having your head on a swivel and eyes in the back of your head, but the next time around I'll have my eyes and my efforts totally focussed on you, and there's gonna be no place to run or hide.

Now what's this thing about Soul Survivor you've got to talk about. I know you don't think I'm gonna team up with you for that...I'm not that desperate.

["The R*" Robby Sylk]

Me ask you to team up with me? Ha Ha Ha...don't make me laugh. Nobody knows Soul Survivor better than I do!

Roach: Sylk is the 2007 Soul Survivor after all...

Having me on anyone's team is like having Kobe Bryant. That clutch player who makes the big moves at the right time. See who I've seen out there, there isn't anyone who I think that can stop me from becoming a two time Soul Survivor...all expect for the guys that I roll with, which will be guys who I know can get it done just the same as I can get it done.

I think that you can already tell who my first partner is going to be. That's right peeps, Viewer Discretion is getting back together an just like the last time, we're going down to the wire. But our number three isn't gonna be a wild card like Jussi was last year, oh no, this man is going to be hand picked because I know that he can get the job done...and I'll give you a little further hint on who he is, he's someone who's been wanting a piece of you for a long, long time. Something about unfinished business? Kinda in the same boat as I'm in when you think of it.

BuZZ: Who the heck is he talking about?

Roach: There's only one guy that I know of who rides that boat, a certain heavily tattooed British behemoth/psychopath.

BuZZ: No...you don't mean VIKRAM do you? With Viewer Discretion?

Roach: We've seen some interesting pairing be formed for SS so far tonight, I'm a stern believer now that anything is possible.

That's not all though. I don't want for it to be a random encounter this time around. Tonight as this all gets started, I don't want Team Jasta or the "Over The Hill" gang, I want...we want...you. Tonight! You and two other guys, I don't care who they are, I don't care where you have to dig them up! Tonight is all about shattering dreams and I want nothing more than to shatter yours right off the bat!

[Xander Xavier Luther]

XXL raises the eyebrow in surprise. He nods with a surprised expression on his face.

Wow, that's actually a pretty impressive team there Sylk. It's no mystery that you and Devine have been doing pretty damn well, and if Vik ain't a decent enough insurance policy, then I don't know what is.

So...that's your three, and you want me to find two guys to face you off tonight? I don't think that's gonna be too much of problem there Robby. Just a matter of finding both the kind of guys who want to do things BIG...and who wouldn't mind kicking your ass in the process.

I've got some people in mind. You might want to back out of this little deal while you have the chance.

["The R*" Robby Sylk]

No way in hell I'm backing out of this. It's all about TCB- Taking Care of Business, and tonight I don't want anything more than to take care you. Advancing in Soul Survivor is just going to be that little bonus for our troubles.

The way I see, as long as you're not in it, that's just perfect for me. Absolutely perfect.

[Xander Xavier Luther]

Is that right? Well, you're in for an BIG surprise then, Sylk. Good thing you've got a A-Class team backing you up, you're gonna need every bit of their skill and yours if you're gonna survive tonight. *Nods*

It'll be a surprise, for you...an unpleasant one. See you later tonight, Hollywood.

The announce team sound in as XXL's theme comes on agains whilst he makes the walk up the ramp.

Buzz: So who's he gonna pick?

Roach: I have no idea. I do know he's gunning for an "A-Class" squad, that's for sure. A few names come to mind, but I guess we'll have to see who's on HIS mind.
