Benjamin vs. Marx

[JABolich]

EPW Intercontinental Championship
"Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin (C) vs. "Gentleman" Jonathan Marx

The Intercontinental Title is on the line in this rematch from GWE Battleground Britain. Last time, Adam Benjamin got the better of Marx. Can Yours Truly make history repeat itself, or will Marx make him bow before the Emperor?

 

[Adam_Benjamin]

Fade into the Gym of Adam Benjamin. The noise of workouts can be heard, but not seen, the camera slowly fades into a table on it is the EPW IC title. The camera fades up close to the gold plate that reads “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin. A voice is heard…)

Benjamin: Read the name it still has not changed. It is a name that you will not have to worry about calling a number and voting to see me again, it is a name that stands for champion. The name on the belt is “Yours Truly” and I am your IC champion. Next on tap for me is EPW’s second PPV. At the first PPV I took fellow Englishman KB to the limit, and left with the IC title. Now walking into this PPV I get a chance to defend my legacy.

(Adam smiles)

Benjamin: Enter Marx… Marx you have done what you needed to do to get to were you stand today. What you have recieved is a shot, let me repeat that word shot, at my title. In fact I could repeact the word recieve as well since you did not really earn this shot. However at the PPV you will be getting a chance to take the IC title, and at the same time seek revenge and even the score between us personally. Yes for those of you who don’t know, as if anyone missed this masterpiece, Yours Truly vs. Marx live in England. Marx you fell that night to the better man. Now round two is set, but what if anything are you truly going to do that will not lead to the same result. I mean don’t get me wrong you fought the good fight, but in the end BIG Daddy English was simply put the better man.

(Adam smiles)

Benjamin: From day one I have dominated in EPW, were John boy you have done well the reverse. You have given moments of greatness, then moments of infancy. Tear jerking moments, you name them you have done them including a walk out moment. But regardless your name is on the paper next to mine. That is a problem for you, and a solution for me. My belt means everything to me Marx, at the PPV under the lights I am going to leave you searching for answers after I end your thoughts of winning the title. But hey you can always say "I am the rookie of the year", I mean thats a title that you can truly never lose. You see Marx I have worked long and hard to be EPW IC champion, I busted my ass to achieve the title, and I am ready to continue my legacy. I was not given a free shot, a free ride known as the MARXEXPRESS. You have done little if any, yet you are the challenger, a title that you can have, because IC champion is a title that I will not allow you to have, believe if it you wish, realize it when I prove it. What Happen in England will happen again, the fun part is I get to beat you here in the US. Later Mate!

(Adam smiles as the camera fades)

The Emperor Has Arrived



::Jonathan Marx walks into the room dressed as the Emperor into the ball room which has a big congratulations sign hanging from the ceiling::

BRANDON JACOBS: Congrats on beating the champion…

JONATHAN MARX: Thank you, Thank you, I must say that I can’t really recall most of the match, but from what you tell me, it was an epic contest.

BRANDON JACOBS: The announcers were top notch putting over what you said in your interviews that you were coming for revenge for what Sands did to Lindsay Troy. You gave Christian Sands hell, the match went back and forth and you almost made him tap several times, but towards the end Sands realizing in desperation that he was being out wrestled, hit Marx with a low blow and gained the advantage…. Beast and Lindsay Troy came down ringside and Troy caused a diversion that lead to Beast running in and hitting his finisher on Sands after which you successfully pinned him.

JONATHAN MARX: I must give Beast and Lindsay my love for making that run in. Not only does it setup the upcoming PPV World Title match between Beast and Sands, but it gave me the much needed win after losing to Beast in that number one contender match to build me up as a credible threat to Benjamin.

BRANDON JACOBS: Thank god those monkeys are gone.

JONATHAN MARX: Amen. Now on to more important things, the Intercontinental Title and Adam Benjmain… you hold the only title which is fit for an Emperor to hold. The power of being the leader of the world would be nice, but there are parts of the world I simply don’t want to be associated with because their lack of moral decency and their status as a trouble maker.

BRANDON JACOBS: The NFW East?

JONATHAN MARX: ::shivers:: I told you if we were going to work together in Empire to please not mention that league’s name.

BRANDON JACOBS: Sorry.

JONATHAN MARX: Benjamin, I have faced some of the greatest technical wrestlers in the world today, Jean Rabesque, Christian Sands, Larry Tact, but none of them have ever given me the troubles that you have Benjamin. I’m not going to make any excuses, at Battleground Britian you were the better man and you walked out to the roar of the hometown fans because you had done the impossible, you beat the PWI Mag Rookie of the Year, the NFW North Point leader, and the Captain of the NFW North team at War Games so you must be applauded… Benjamin, lightning does not strike twice.

BRANDON JACOBNS: Did you hear that he is calling himself Big Daddy Britian now?

JONATHAN MARX: ::sighs:: Benjamin, I love the lad as a wrestler but sometimes his common sense and knowledge are a bit lacking. For someone who supposedly is one of the greatest technical wrestlers in all of wrestling today to be calling himself Big Daddy is enough to make me pull out my hair. There have been two men who have used that nickname and they were both HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. One was a barely mobile British wrestler who makes Beast look like Rabesque on the mat and the other one was the worst drawing champions of alltime in the US whose biggest move was flipping his hair back.

BRANDON JACOBS: Maybe he is a combination of both, maybe is the worst wrestler and draw a same time!

JONATHAN MARX: That could be why they called in the Emperor to wrestle that strap away from Benjamin. They want me to save the Empire like I’ve saved so many other leagues and bring it into the stratosphere of the elite. I will avenge my loss Benjamin and show him of my status can turn the Intercontinental into a world title by wearing it with pride and raising the league around me above the muck and mire, which this league has been trapped in by its dubious past.

BRANDON JACOBS: You are a kind and generous soul…

JONATHAN MARX: Sometimes it pays to be the Emperor.

(The camera slowly zooms in on the EPW IC title. It rests on a table its master sitting beside it smiling. Yes Adam Benjamin is seen watching Marx’s last interview as he finishes up his lunch.)

Benjamin: Folks I just had the best club sandwich in the world, however I just wasted a minute of your time telling you this. I wasted little but in the same sense time itself much like Marx’s did in his last interview. You see Marx is a man that feels the need to carry around his resume and read it whenever he I guess feels challenged. Regardless of his reasoning Jmarx’s has again told myself and the world all that he has done in such a short year no less. Well again Bravo Marx’s, mean wow you have done a lot. You see Marx what you have done is great, but what you have not been able to do, and what you soon will not be able to do, is add me to your little list of achievements. You see all that you have done means nothing in regards to beating Yours Truly for the IC title. But hey I guess you like the pat on the back from your buddy BJ every time you talk about your resume.

(Adam laughs)

Benjamin: Oh by the way Big Daddy English is a mere name used by an announcer, I only used it because it fits my persona. However let it be know that I am not trying to emulate any previous big daddy’s out there. Now if you want to talk about Yours Truly in wrestling terms with a name look no further than the moniker “The new age Technician” which I am, because I have brought to the states a form of technical wrestling mixed with submission style that has dominated thus far. You Marx this match is not about who is better, or what the other person has done. Its about what the winner is going to have to do to get the job done. I am confident that if I go out and wrestle with my heart on my sleeve, my passion for greatness, my desire to maintain the status of IC champion, that I will not only win the battle, but Marx rest assure I will win the war as well.

(Adam taps the IC title)

Benjamin: You want to save the empire, well than by a record store, because the EPW is in no need of savior, although Marx you seem to be in need of a cure, a cure of your mouth running, so at the PPV when I tap you out, in the cure, hopefully you will swallow your ego, or does Jacobs already take care of that? Regardless Marx the fact is that my determination mixed with my talent in the ring is going to be to much for you at the PPV. Because as good as you say you are, I am believe I am that much better. While you are yelling about greatness, I am simply doing what it takes to get the job done. You see Marx like I tell many others “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin is not great at anything, but I am good at everything. Prepare Marx, because soon enough it will be bell time….

(Adam taps the IC title as the camera fades)

Benjamin's World



::Jonathan Marx is walking through a junkyard on a dark, dismal, day in his Emperor robes turning up his nose in disgust::

JONATHAN MARX: How did I let this happen? How did I let them turn this beautiful oasis into heaping pile of garbage which smells as rancid as the odor from Benjamin’s decaying teeth? Truth is, for all of my accomplishments, I have been a miserable failure here in Empire.

::Marx hangs his head in disgust at himself::

This is all my fault. I let them turn this place into the wasteland you see before you because I wanted to be liked, I didn’t want to cause waves when they repeatedly killed any chance this league had of becoming one of the premiere leagues in all of wrestling.

But according to my opponent Benjamin, there is nothing wrong with the current state of the Empire. Apparently, it is perfectly fine that our World Champion is forcibly sexually molesting women on our TV and our league is better off without Maelstrom, Rob Sampson, Dan Ryan, and Suicide inside the squared circle. Yes my friends, this is Adam Benjmain’s paradise. COME ON! GET A GOOD WHIFF! THIS IS THE SMELL OF SUCCESS!

::Marx picks up a tomato can and heaves it across the junkyard::

ENOUGH! I’ve had enough…. I tired of seeing people kill wrestling and Empire tried to drive a stake through my heart so I’d go away and let wrestling die. They have repeatedly tried to make me miserable so I would quit and forfeit all of that money that I have coming to me because I am unwilling to drop down to my knees to service Freeman for an opportunity to be the World Champion like all of the rest.

::spits on the ground and picks up a baseball bat::

Benjamin, you absolutely disgust me, if you want to mock me, I can live with that because that comes in the territory of being a wrestler, but Jacobs is more of a name in this sport than you are now and you will ever be. He is a good and honest person who puts his damn heart and soul into this sport and if you ever say another bad word about Jacobs, I’m going to cut off your tongue and shove it down your throat until you CHOKE ON IT! .

::Marx smashes the windshield of a car scattering glass everywhere::

I’m not playing games anymore.

::Marx throws down the bat and walks towards the camera::

This isn’t going to be the free ride I gave you at Battleground Britain. No more Mr. Nice guy because the Gentlemen is staying home…. ::leans into the camera::

THE EMPEROR IS COMING TO THE GEORGIA DOME TO MAKE YOU TAP OUT!

[Adam_Benjamin]

(Quickly your screen shows the IC title, it slowly makes a second box, a third box, and so on till you entire screen is filled with little IC title boxes, millions of IC titles fill your screen as “”My sacrifice” begins to blast, quickly footage of Marx is shown beating opponents at will. Flash to Benjamin defeating many wrestlers with the shinning wizard, followed up by the ending of the Brown/Benjamin ending. Footage of Benjamin reversing a third attempt at the northern lights suplex from Marx, and hitting the “Yours Truly 2k4 for the pin at Battle Ground Britain, A double screen shot of Benjamin and Marx is seen as the IC title shoots down the middle making a crack in between the two pictures as the song comes to an end.)

{Fade into Adam sitting watching the video of his TV at home.}

Benjamin: Ah hype of a PPV got to love it Marx don’t you. I mean wow that was a awesome package EPW is playing. The song “My Sacrifice” was a perfect song as well. I mean lets face it that word is the single meaning to my title rain here in EPW. Sacrifice something I have done throughout my career. I have gone to extra mile, whether it was in the gym, inside the ring, no matter were I have sacrifice my body, my time, my life to wrestling. I do this because I am a wrestler and that is what I have dedicated my life too, the sport of wrestling. Marx you talk about this, that, and the other thing, but I ask what are you willing to do to get the job done at the PPV. So far you have done a lot of talking, much of which dodges facts, and ducks questions pertaining to the outcome of this match.

(Adam laughs)

Benjamin: So Marx I caught you last interview, I guess BJ is not into garbage is that why he was MIA in your last interview. Regardless of that, I wanted to touch up on the state of your opinion of the EPW. First off the EPW has not been the best federation ever, many quality stars have graced and departed thus far. I do recall even you tucked tail and decided to leave, only to come back shortly after. But regardless of what has left, the only thing that matters is what is still here. Take a look at the screen, you are looking at a man that has not, and will not leave the Empire, I am the EPW IC champion, I am one of the bricks of many stars holding this company up strong as ever. Now if you feel that you are the one that needs to clean up the EPW, well start with me, clean me up, take me out, defeat me for my belt, take my pride, come on Marx take it, I am begging you to take it…

(Adam shoves the IC title in the camera)

Benjamin: Or for sake of hype at least say you are going to, I mean that is what you seemingly do best. The master of talk, the sinister of speech, the mastermind of words, all cool names for you Marx. Because in my eyes that is all you do is talk here in EPW.

(Adam makes a hand gesture of talking)

Benjamin: Marx the glue holding you together is slowly fading, the holes that you have are becoming noticeable. The frustration is pouring out of you, I mean beating up cars that is so Emperor like, wow you really are incredible. And man you really defend you pal BJ well. As far as him being more of a name than me in this sport, that is fine. The only name I worry about in this sport in my own anyway so he can be better than me if you think he is. But please leaving the shoving down throats lines for someone else, that is really not my cup of tea mate.

(Adam shakes his head)

Benjamin: This just in J Marx’s is not playing anymore game. Wow Marx’s I am glad you are going to take this serious. You see at Battle ground a free ride was hardly the outcome, you know it, I know it, the fans in the UK, hell all around the world no it, I reversed a hold and knocked you out with the “Yours Truly 2k4” for the pin fall. No more Mr. Nice guy, oh no I am scared, Marx you are a joke, your cover is blown much like you and Jacobs cover. You might have defeated many other wrestlers but take a look at a wrestler that you simply cannot beat. You want to call it a free ride well go ahead, let even up the score. I will pick up the bill so to speak on this match.

(Adam holds up the IC title)

Benjamin: You see Marx when the PPV is over and the headlines articles out there rate this match the article will read as follows. Benjamin defeats Marx to regain the IC title is a outstanding wrestling display. And this match will be given a 4 star rating. For you see “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin will surly give you the fans a 5 star performance I assure you of that. However the wind talker J Marx’s negative 1 rating will drop this match down. Because everyone knows that 5 stars minus negative 1 star equals a 4 star match. Reality is here Marx like I said if you want to save the Empire go buy a record store. If you think you are going to leave as IC champion, think again. Take a look at what a champion should look like, take a good look Mate and deal with it.

(Fade out to the eyes of Adam Benjamin)

Perking Up on A Cloudy Day



::Marx and Jacobs are sitting at a Starbucks by the window, Marx is looking out the window out into the streets of Princeton on a cloudy day::

BRANDON JACOBS: You look like you just found out your dog died. I’ve never seen you this utterly miserable.

::Marx slowly sips his coffee and sighs::

JONATHAN MARX: I’ve just been on a hectic schedule between my NFW, NEW, and Empire commitments that my nerves are a bit fried. Sometimes I wish I had taken my dad’s offer to retire to work in WFW management. It isn’t like I need the money and I’d probably do WFW more good than I have Empire so far losing to everyone and anyone including Cameron Cruise.

BRANDON JACOBS: Rome wasn’t built in a day.

JONATHAN MARX: Marxism isn’t just some utopia on paper. I went to the IWF and brought a sense of life there that wasn’t there before and made Manson into a God. I went onto the GLCW where Manson, Anarky and I lead GLCW Gentlemen of Dignity in a second golden age while perusing the World Title of the unbeatable Maelstrom, and after all that, I went to the NFW North and along with Manson, we’ve been a driving force in keeping the NFW North as strong as it is since day one. What have I really done here in Empire?

BRANDON JACOBS: You did threaten Benjamin really well about the gay jokes he seems to like to make.

JONATHAN MARX: He is lucky I’m not gay and that this isn’t the Asylum where I could beat him for the title then I sodomize him just for the fun of it. Although the bugger seems to deserve it with all the lame Empire Records jokes he keeps on making.

BRANDON JACOBS: What is this record thing he keeps on talking about?

JONATHAN MARX: An obsolete piece of technology which most of the audience under thirty has no clue what he is talking about. Apparently Benjamin thinks he is cool because he recently converted over to the newer technology from his eight track collection.

BRANDON JACOBS: Sounds like his knowledge of music is as worthless as his knowledge of wrestling.

JONATHAN MARX: That poor boy has no idea what he is in for. While he was off being an undercard wrestler in GWE, I was off facing guys like Manson, Maelstrom, Rabesque, and other competition which is on a whole other level than the measely competition he faces on a regular basis. Mind you, it isn’t Benjamin’s fault, but he hasn’t done himself any favors joining the leagues that he has.

BRANDON JACOBS: I hear when he was signed by GWE, he was given a Mickey Mouse decoder ring for all of his hard work.

JONATHAN MARX: Well it is a Mickey Mouse federation… which is why I offered to come to GWE to face him at Battleground Britain because I wanted to see another fellow ring technician get ahead. Where is he on the shows now?

BRANDON JACOBS: Sadly, He is in the same place he was before.

JONATHAN MARX: This is why you should never do favors for anyone because they don’t know how to take advantage of it and which is why I have to beat Benjamin in the middle of the ring at the Georgia Dome with Marxism in attempt to salvage yet another botched ploy for Benjamin to get ahead.

BRANDON JACOBS: You are starting to sound a bit like the old Marx that I know and love.

JONATHAN MARX: I want to be who I use to be and who I still am in NFW and NEW. I’m starting to feel like the man I use to be when I originally walked into the Empire locker room all those months ago.

BRANDON JACOBS: That boy thinks he can out wrestle you twice.

JONATHAN MARX: Benjamin can dream all he wants, but cruel reality is going to set in once he steps into that ring. ::Marx grabs his coat and begins to get up:: Jacobs, come with me, we have to get ready for the match.

BRANDON JACOBS: Where are we going?

JONATHAN MARX: You’ll see.

[Adam_Benjamin]

(Fade into Adam Benjamin standing in front of his gym locker toweling off after his workout. Adam takes a seat on the bench behind he next to the now noticeable IC title as he begins talking)

Benjamin: Marx you claim this poor boy sitting before you has no clue what he is in for? Now I listen to that statement and thought about it long and hard, and I can honestly say you are right. I mean in theory this time around you have something you are coming for not just a chance to as you put it help me get ahead like you so graciously did in our previous meeting. But you see worrying about what is in store for me is not going to get me the win live on PPV. No fine tuning my ability and performing at my very best is what is going to allow me to leave the PPV still the IC champ. So to sum it up I really do not care what you believe is in store for me, nor do I care.

(Adam begins to get serious)

Benjamin: Marx I watch you sitting there with BJ talking about a small bite of doubt, or tiredness as you called it. You mention the words of possibly retiring, working with your dad? All talk of a man that is not centered in the now, the moment that is leading up to a chance to become IC champion. Many wresters would trade there careers for one shot, once chance at the IC title, yet you stand talking about retiring, or a busy schedule. You then go again blasting your resume over and over again. Marx does it make you feel better looking back and holding onto your past accomplishments. Granted what you have done is great, no one including me can take that away from you. But do you ever stop and think about what you are going to do, rather than talk about what you have already done.

(Adam smiles)

Benjamin: Marx it is so funny to hear you talking to me about doing things and about whom you have defeated. You love to drop dimes on me, naming names of guys you have faced, defeated, or what have you. You talk about me being a under card in GXW a top-notch federation, while you were off facing top-notch guys. Yet you walked into GXW and lost to me, an as you put it a under card wrestler. You see in my eyes, and all watching this week it does not matter about who you have beaten, only who you have to beat. And that man is me, I am the only one that matters Marx, Yours Truly in the flesh. Beat me and you are IC champion, all your talk of greatness is stamped with a title of pure greatness.

(Adam holds to the title high)

Benjamin: You say I can dream all I want, cruel reality as you put it take effect when I enter the ring at the PPV? Good I want everything you have, bring it all. Because at Unleashed I am going to expose you, stretch you and leave you with your head in Jacobs lap crying as he tells you that you are still his emperor. Like I have said before Marx time is running out, your chance, you moment, and your opportunity is knocking at your door. My question is are you going to answer the door, or pretend you are not at home. See you around Mate…

(Fade to black)

In The Heart of Philadelphia



::Jonathan Marx is walking ahead of Brandon Jacobs in front of an arena at sunset which appears to be located in the heart of Philadelphia::

BRANDON JACOBS: Why are we at the Spectrum?

::Marx walks up to a statue and as the camera pans up, it is revealed to be the statue of Rocky Balboa.

JONATHAN MARX: Sometimes when I’m down I like to come here to give myself an inspirational lift.

BRANDON JACOBS: But Rocky Balboa wasn’t even real… how can you be inspired by a fictional sports character?

JONATHAN MARX: There is a certain mythology to sports where figures become much greater than their reality over time. For instance, I never saw Babe Ruth play, all I know of him is what I read books and a handful of film strips. But Babe Ruth has become a god to generations of fans who never saw him play, he has become greater than himself.

BRANDON JACOBS: I can see that.

JONATHAN MARX: The story of Rocky was about a man who worked hard and over came the adversity thrown his way to become the very best. Even if Rocky doesn’t exist, this statue represents all of the Rockys in the world who don’t give up and continue to fight.

BRANDON JACOBS: So you are saying this statue could even represent me because I worked hard to become one of the top play by play men in the business and overcame advertsity through hard work and sacrifice?

JONATHAN MARX: You could say that. I remember when I first saw this statue back when I was a youngster when I was playing soccer at a regional youth all star game in Philadelphia. I told my mother to stop the car and I ran up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum just like Rocky did and looked up at the statue for the very first time. I touched the base and was stood there for a good two minutes before my mom yelled at me to get back into the car so we wouldn’t be late for the game.

BRANDON JACOBS: Good old Moms are all the same.

::Marx hangs his head and looks down at the ground::

JONATHAN MARX: I wish she had lived to see me become who I am today. Knowing her, she would be the first one to order the PPV and would be sitting there right on the couch cheering me on.

BRANDON JACOBS: She is probably looking down at you as we speak right now. You know they say that the reason people go through the hell they do is so that when they experience happiness or success, they will realize what they have. Jonathan, you’ve been through a lot here and Empire and I don’t know anyone who has suffered more than you. I have faith that you will get the job done.

::Marx closes his eyes and clutches the monument with his hand::

JONATHAN MARX: I appreciate you being here too as a friend, especially over this last six months when you have been so busy with your WFW duties. I really shouldn’t distract you as much as I should, but you put up with me and I can’t thank you enough. I’ve been leading this old school revolution for over a year and a half now, hoping that I could somehow lead this sport to a second golden age based on the old school wrestling and values we all grew up on and worked successfully for years. This is my chance to get into a position of power where maybe I can make a difference and people will finally listen to me.

BRANDON JACOBS: There are a lot that already do.

JONATHAN MARX: But not nearly enough… most of my words fall repeatedly on death ears. Sometimes being cursed with the intelligence that I was born with wears on my soul. I wish I could be naïve as some people I’ve come in contact. No aware of the battle we are fighting each and every time we step into the ring. They don’t have any pressure on them. They can go out there and have fun and inflict all the mayhem they want without an ounce of guilt. But the more I look around, the more I realize that we have get the revolution in motion soon or all that we worked for or all may be lost.

BRANDON JACOBS: Marx, nobody should have to carry your burden. But you have to be strong just for a little bit longer and it all will pay off for all of us in the end. You’ll beat Benjamin and as Emperor you’ll lead wrestling to a second golden age. I believe in you, Manson believes in you, everyone believes you can do it…

JONATHAN MARX: Rocky, I dedicate this match to you….

::Marx looks up at the statue::

[Adam_Benjamin]

(Fade into Adam Benjamin sitting in his sun room if his home in Tampa. Out his window the view of the beach is seen, waves crashing ashore. Back inside the room Adam is seen reading his “Fan mail”.)

Benjamin: Ok this letter is from Matt from Boston.

(Adam begins reading it)

“Hey Benji I dislike your every move, I am glad we dump the tea in the river!

(Adam shakes his head)

Benjamin: Well here is a typical American idiot, even worse you are most likely a Red Sox fan pissed at the world because every thing around you screams loser.

(Adam laughs as he opens another card)

Benjamin: Ok I hope this letter from Becky is, oh wait the lass is from England I am sure this will be a breathe of fresh air.

“Dear Adam every move you make, every step you take, every hold you….

(Adam looks though the rest of the letter and then back to the camera)

Benjamin: She is all about my Willie I will tell you that… I love my mail, but this one I will give a personal hey now too.

(Adam opens a third letter)

Benjamin: Brandon from unknown, this looks good.

“Benjamin you think you are great, you think you can do it all, but your days are numbered my everything soon will take you out, he is going to take you deep into the match, riding you all around the ring. He is going to hit you hard, and fast, till you burst and tap out.

(Adam laughs and looks towards the camera)

Benjamin: A bit of a poofter are we, or for you American idiots out they’re a homosexual. Please don’t get me wrong Yours Truly does not think there is anything wrong with that, its just not my cup of tea. However Brandon, I am sorry to say that I am going to defend my title at Unleashed and end your “everything’s” chances of becoming IC champion.

(Adam takes a moment to toss all the mail back in a bag as he finishes his morning tea.)

Benjamin: Unleashed is right around the corner, The IC title for a moment in time will leave my hands, into the waiting and watchful eyes of a trusted time keeper. You see this match will be a wrestling classic, it will top the previous match that myself and Marx had.

(Adam smiles)

Benjamin: You see Marx the better man is going to win this match; he is going to do the things that others never are able to accomplish.

(Adam looks down, the back into the camera)

Benjamin: You see Marx you can go visit Rocky all you want, go visit a man that fought all the odds to get on top. Its funny how early in the week you were the high rise, the almighty, now you are comparing your self to a one-bed room apartment a lower level fighter. You see Rocky was a nothing made into a champion in that movie, and if you read between the lines he was carried as champ for a while. That movie was a great movie, but at the PPV there won’t be anyone saying cut, or action. No what is going to happen is bell one will sound and with it your chance begins, and as you hear the second bell it will be the very sound of your chance fading away.

(Adam grabs the title)

Benjamin: You have done so much so soon in your career, but what you have not done is beat me. At the PPV it is your moment Rocky I mean Marx to beat me, because up until now you have been a big fish in a small pond, but here in EPW you are in the ocean and you are going to drowned at the PPV. Many wrestlers out there think they are good sound wrestlers, a lot claim to be the best. At the PPV I want everyone to watch one of the best in action, Yours Truly Adam Benjamin.

(fade to black)
