The Return
(the camera comes in on a familiar setting, only a new backdrop, as Jean Rabesque stands in front of a plain black screen, only with the GLCW logo superimposed in front of it, he looks solid, in fact some would say he even looks younger than he has in the past, especially towards the end of his FWF run, but for now he stands, dressed in black, with his "NO FALSE GIMMICKS," shirt obviously being shifted to GLCW merchandising stands, as it is spelled across his chest, a look of amusement, yet seriousness etched across his face, as he prepares for his first GLCW studio interview)
Rabesque: Well, once again, they thought I was done. They thought that I would go out after a cheap defeat to one Joe Massacre. Not quite boys. It seems as though the "Old man," still has a few tricks up his sleeve. It's been a long, long road for me through this wrestling world, and I've seen just about everything, and now we got just another hot-shot young superstar coming along, and trying to make a name for himself. Chris O'Neill, what is it they call you, "The Lost Cause?" (chuckles to himself) Fitting, I guess. So you think it's funny or appropriate to take up a retirement fund for me, do you O'Neill? Do you think you're being original? Do you think I haven't seen this before? People have been calling me old for the last six years. I haven't been able to wrestle lick that entire time, I'm over the hill. That's what they all say. Of course, in that time, since I was deemed, "too old," I've won championship after championship, including one just at the beginning of this year.
So what's my point Chris? Young studs like you, they're a dime a dozen. They're all thinking the same thing. You're trying to get your break to superstardom, and you're doing whatever it takes to make sure you can get me in the ring, so you can somehow beat me, and all of a sudden you have a legitimate victory against someone of my stature in your back pocket? Well, Chris, you got me in the ring, now what do you do? You going to show me how over the hill I am? O'Neill, until I came to the GLCW, I had never even heard of you, you weren't even mentioned in the lists of up and coming stars that would someday take my place in this sport. Sure, you can claim that you're some kind of unknown star, but the fact that I haven't heard of you makes you inexperienced, which makes you very, very, vulnerable. You don't have an answer for half the things I can do to you O'Neill, and you can take that one to the bank.
This goes to you, and to the entire GLCW. Jean Rabesque did not come back here for some kind of feel-good retirement tour. I'm not here to try to make buddies, or to create warm and fuzzy moments for everyone who sees me in a crowd. I'm here to win, and I'm here to dominate, just like I have done everywhere else. Chris O'Neill is the first to step up and think they he has some kind of solution to my dynasty. He will also be the first to fail miserably in that assumption. Just like I said at Riptide, everything has now changed... because I'm here. Like it or not, get used to it, because that's how things are, and that's how things are going to stay. No false gimmicks, no false hype, I am Jean Rabesque.
