(The screen comes in on the CSWA backdrop, where Jean Rabesque stands in front, wearing his normal gear, on his left shoulder sits the Greensboro Title, displayed prominently as Rabesque removes his shades with his right hand and stashes them in a pocket, and then speaks)
Rabesque: “Looks familiar, doesn’t it Muffin Man? You remember it well, don’t you? It wasn’t too long ago Kin that you went into that little meaningless show On Time, the show where nothing really significant ever happens, and you walked out that night without your precious Greensboro Title.
“You were quiet leading up to it, and honestly, you’ve been rather quiet since.
“So what’s going through your mind as we get ready here Kin. I do have to agree that you picked one hell of a time to invoke that rematch clause. Look, it even got us on to the big show. No On Time for us, no repeat performance. Here we are, right in the thick of CSWA 15. Granted, we might be curtain-jerking, but the fact still remains the same. We’re on the biggest show that has happened around here in a long time.
“Now I have to be honest when I say that I am still in no way any kind of expert when it comes to the history of the CSWA, but trust me, I understand the significance of this show going back to Greensboro. I know the history there, and I also that I’m going to step into Merritt Auditorium in Greensboro representing that city, representing all the history of the CSWA.
“This title is where it all started Kin, so I do feel a certain importance defending this title on a show of this magnitude. To the rest of the company, this might just be fourth on the pecking order. I don’t really know and I don’t really care, but on that one night, this title is going to mean a hell of a lot more than that.
“It’s hard to believe that this is my first defense of this title. It’s not that I haven’t been willing, it’s just that the powers that be haven’t really gone out of their way to get me anything that resembled a title match. This title has ping ponged around a little too much over the past few years, and I feel it’s about time that it deserves a little stabilization. The time of this passing around from one person to another, one match after another is over.
“It’s going to take a hell of a man and a hell of a match to get this thing off of me. And Kin, let’s be honest, you ain’t it.
“You thought you had the world figured out Muffin Man. You were the young superstar athlete with the world at your fingertips, snubbing your nose at the establishment, thinking you were beyond all of it. And then something funny happened Kin.”
(Rabesque gazes closer to the camera)
“You tapped out!”
(Backs away)
“That’s right Kin, right in the middle of the ring to the Figure 4. And not in just any match, you tapped and it cost you your title.
“Do you honestly expect anything to change now? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times, if you tap once, you’ll tap every time. I’ve proven it with any man that has argued otherwise, and I’ll do the same with you Kin. CSWA 15 will roll around, you’ll feel the agony, and you’ll remove yourself from it.
“I might be the old man Kin, but you still can’t run with me.
“I’ve never been one for words, but I’m sure there will be more. I can hardly contain my enthusiasm. (Snickers) No false gimmicks, no false hype, I’m the Greensboro Champion, I am Jean Rabesque.”
