What's mines (Vain)

[sion]

Overload comes back to ringside following a Soul Survivor promo segment, and the No Limits Champion Brian Yang stands in the ring. With a mic in hand and the title around his waist, Yang leers out to the fans and gloats about his win last week.

It looks to me like our new GM Stan O'Malley's plan to boost the grid of the No Limits Division backfired. Last week, he booked a #1 Contender Fatal 4 Way between myself, Jimmy Vain, Kevin Hall and Matt Winters. A match that if either one of them got the fall, they would have earned themselves an ironclad shot at my No Limits Title at Soul Survivor. But...as it stands, I proved yet again why I'm pound for pound the best wrestler on the planet right now, because in a match where the odds were in everyone's favor...I STILL WON!

Yang laughs to himself as the fans boo.

I proved once again that there is not a man on roster that's skilled enough, talented enough or good enough to shine my boots. And as per the other half of the stipulation, I now get to choose from the three of them who I'll face at Soul Survivor. So who am I going to pick? You may have thought It would have taken me all week to figure that out, but in all truth, I had my opponent picked the moment the ref's hand hit the mat the 3rd time after I kicked Kevin's face off. The man I'm going to give the honor and privilege to step in the ring with the "Modern Day Legend" is without a doubt...the easiest guy of the three to beat. I've already run through the best there is to beat. So now I figure I'll go the other end of the spectrum and run through the rest. And at the bottom of the list is one man.

Jimmy Vain.

A surprising burst of cheers for the underachieving Vain from the fans.

Jimmy Vain is a bottom feeder. He has no place even being inside of an XWA ring. He's a glorified Backyard Wrestler who managed somehow, someway to brown nose his way into a major wrestling organization. Well, Jimmy. At Soul Survivor, you get your 15 Minutes of fame, stepping into the ring with the longest reigning current champion in XWA. The benchmark of skill, technique and precision, yours truly. And when you do, I'm gonna expose you for being the worthless sack of crap you really are, and hopefully show the world that you don't belong in the ring with me. Make no bones about it, Vain. I'm not giving you this shot because I respect you. I'm giving it to you for the total opposite reason. I want to make you look bad. Even badder then that drunkard Punch did. You might walk tall with your head high even though you've only mustered one win all year so far, but when I'm done with you, you're going to be beaten, battered and most importantly...broken. And by doing so, I'll be sending a clear cut message to anyone who thinks they have the chops to get in the ring with me, and take what's mines.

It wouldn't take long for Jimmy Vain to make his appearance.

Yep, he was right. It wouldn't take long at all for Jimmy Vain to come out. Coming out with a microphone already in hand. He came out ready to unload on the No Limits Champion:

So lemme get this straight. I'm a glorified 'Backyard Wrestler' ? Gee... that's original *rolls his eyes* Is that the very best you can do ? Cause if it is. Boy, I feel so sorry for you. Because while you may prove that your a force in the ring ? On the mic, you suck !

You may be the longest reigning No Limits Champion ever ? But I don't give a crap. Way I see it. If Chris Dynamite can do the unthinkable and get a title victory as his first win ? Then dammit ! My 2nd win ever in XWA will be me taking that No Limits strap from around your waist, pal ! And in doing so, ending the pathetic thing you call a "streak" !

See, unlike you. A man who values every win as a trophy. I value my hard work ethic as a trophy. See, I don't need to have a 1,000 wins, or best, or whatever the case maybe to make myself worth a damn around here. I just come out here and do it ! My work is my word. I step into the ring. I give it everything I have.

I've gone through tables, had my skin ripped from barb-wire, I've been sat on fire. I've done it all. And to me, your just a glorified champion ! A man whose let that little nugget of success go to his brain. Your just like every other boring, egomaniac out there in this business. You win a belt, get on a big winning streak, and you think you mean something. Fact is, you don't. I've known guys that barely get a few wins under there belt that actually are remembered more for what they put into the business then the ones who just do nothing but win, win, win all the time !

So its like this, Yang. I'll bring the weapons, you bring your ass. And I'll whip it all over the arena come Soul Survivor !

Yang chuckles a bit before speaking his reply.

And my Mic skills are bad? You just read a page right from the "underdog challenger" handbook there, buddy. Complete with the "you value your wins like trophies" line. The originality is STIFLING I tell you. Riveting stuff, my man. Seriously.

He gives and antagonizing applause towards Vain.

That's exactly what I'd expect to here from a loser. From someone who has no idea what it's like to compete on a worldwide stage. From someone who's biggest career highlight to date is getting Suplexed through a table set up in the corner by Jonny Punch. You see, I don't value my wins as trophies. I value them as statements. Statements to the world that I AM the very best in my weightclass. There isn't a man Light Heavyweight, Junior Heavyweight or Cruiserweight on the PLANET good enough to beat me. Not a single one. I've faced off and defeated some of the so called best on the planet. Evan Fate? Beat 'em. Jimmy Ames? Yep. Pablo Reyes? Him to. Saizo Kodanashi? Same story. Jeff Heaven? Beat him three times in a row. It's gotten to the point where XWA management is contemplating bringing in talent from OUTSIDE of the country to give me competition, because for me here in XWA...there is none. What you're looking at is the best pound for pound wrestler on the planet, period. What I'm looking at is some poor slob who after all this is said and done is gonna wish he hadn't ran his mouth. But I'm not gonna wait until Soul Survivor. No, no, no. I wanna send another statement to the masses tonight. A lil' warm up to give you a glimpse of exactly what you've signed up for. But don't worry, I won't beat you to badly. I'll save you ultimate humiliation for the PPV, where the whole world will witness me knock off another pretender to my throne.
