Into the valley of ...... PAIN!!!
(Fade to yet another black canvas, this time the letters NEH overshadows the GLCW logo… Slowly and methodically Flatliner comes into view, his massive frame actually covering the GLCW logo… His facial expression solemn, yet cynical… To his left is a monitor, it begins to play Jean Rabesque’s promo, Flatliner stares into the monitor momentarily, he then faces the camera and begins to speak…)
FLATLINER: Jean Rabesque… A name that has cross my path many a times, a man with whom I’ve battle in a time almost forgotten… You know you’re right, as a singles competitor, I WAS unstoppable, still am Jean! But unbeknownst to you Jean, certain things have changed; things and circumstances aren’t the same as they were back then… Ring rust Jean!? Do you seriously think we have ring rust!? Jean, in case you weren’t aware of it we went back to our roots, back to New Japan, where it all began… Wrestling in 2nd, 3rd and even 4th rated wrestling feds… And one thing we found out Jean, and that was that it is THERE where the real competition lies, those are the proving grounds Jean… They are the perimeters one needs to breach in order to reach the flagship, GLCW… And while in your eyes, you see us as two about to become, it’s not going to get you anywhere Jean, so I suggest you come down from that visual stupor you’re in and realize that we didn’t get older, we got BETTER! Now as for proving anything, there’s nothing to prove Jean, we’ve beaten everyone there is to beat in the GLCW, but I know in your eyes we’ve beaten nobody, (Smirks) does that include Maelstrom and Golem also!? Causes if it does, then you’re up (bleep) creek without a paddle dude, after all isn’t Golem your partner now!? It’s a vicious cycle isn’t it Jean!? So save your rhetorical logic for somebody that doesn’t know you as well as I do… You’re still the same person that you were back then Jean, still harping the same old tune, trying to be the “one”… All that’s well and good in your end of the woods, but in my end Jean, we go by different rules, real rules Jean! Kraven was right in a lot of what he said, as are you… (Stares at monitor and then back at the camera…) You’re so ignorant of what stares you in the face Jean, as for JC being an asset to us, yea he was… Notice I said “was”… What makes you think that Kraven is holding me back Jean!? We are the perfect combination in more ways than one… Careful Jean, what you don’t know can really hurt you… Don’t lose foresight of who and what lies ahead…
(The monitor continues as we hear Jean says; “No false gimmicks, no false hype, I am Jean Rabesque”… The camera goes fuzzy momentarily and when we come back into focus, it is not Flatliner who stands in front of the canvas but Kraven, his eyes just staring into the camera, no smirk, no grin, and no expression whatsoever…)
KRAVEN: Trying to play mind games with Flats is not going to work Jean, and neither is your metaphorical dribbling… Ironic how the only parts of those matches you remember are what is convenient for you, doesn’t surprise me Jean, you always had a way of seeing things differently, always jumping to conclusions, always assuming and presuming… Golem, what makes you actually believe that you will fare better with the likes of Jean Rabesque at your side!? What makes you think that he is better than Mael, hell both you and Mael didn't stand a chance against us so what makes Jean special!? (Smirks) Are you trying to say that Mael is all washed up!? You're the one that is kidding yourself Golem, you're living in this make believe world where you think you run supreme, only you DON'T! As for that lil favor you called yourself doing, get your facts straight beforehand Golem, first off we didn't need your stinking help, second we NEVER asked for your help! The fact that you wanted to be in Nevada's good graces just backfired on you that day, and THAT'S why we stomped a mud hole in you.... What you and Jean as well as the rest of these peons need to understand is that we are NOT Nevada, he may like you but we don't! We don't like anyone, we don't see things the way you or the rest of Malec's posse see things, we have our own perspective way of seeing and handling things... So you say that the enemy of your enemy is your friend eh Golem!? (Smirks with a devious grin...) I bet you said the same about Mael, and look at you two now... Face it Golem, you and Jean don't stand a chance against me and the big man, it has nothing to do about different agendas, it has nothing to do with your talents or skills... It has nothing to do with anything, but the fact that you two cannot co-exist, just like you and Mael couldn't hack it; neither will you and Jean...
(He looks at the monitor which at this time is showing Golem's promo... Without warning he kicks the monitor off the table and with a cynical stare continues...)
KRAVEN: That crap is annoying Golem, you and Jean sound like two wounded banshees howling in the night... Can't make much sense about what the hell you two are spewing, but I will tell you this much, the ones that are in for a big disappointment are you two... You see Golem, you like Jean are going under the wrong assumption about us, you actually believe that you have found a chink in our armor, only there isn't any Golem... You like Jean, think that we are all about nothing, that we have beaten nobodies, which would put you in that grouping cause we have beaten your furry butt several times already... But you are right when you say that to mention you under the same breath as the High Plains Drifters and so on, is an injustice... You and Jean fall under the category of extremely powerful, extremely talented just like Maelstrom and as you can see, THAT didn’t cut any ice with us Golem… Me and the big man are masters of our own destiny! We control, we rule the square circle no ifs, ands or buts about it! You say time has vastly improved Golem!? That may be all well and good, but you have US to contend with, and we have gotten nastier, meaner and more vicious… Now I know as far as you and Jean are concerned, that’s all just me blowing words into the wind, but at Riptide, you will also bear witness of the change Golem! You will get a full taste of what the Unholy Alliance is all about now! (Smirks) And to coin a phrase… “That SUCKS for YOU and Jean!
(The camera once again goes fuzzy and as we come back into focus, both Flatliner and Kraven are staring into the camera, solemn and deadly stares… Fade to black….)
