((FADEIN: Lightning strikes across a gray sky as water crashes against a cliff as a single robed figure climbs to the top with his fists raised to the sky and begins screaming his unintelligible curses to the storm. The camera pulls back to show the entire scene is something on a large screen television. The channel changes to Jerry Springer, "My Father is Satan and A Lesbian." Jerry is giving his final thoughts and tells everyone to take care, the channel changes again to show Michael Manson dressed in a black leather jacket and jeans on the screen holding a remote control. He throws it at the screen and it goes to stactic as the camera shifts to the actual Manson instead of just the image.))
MANSON: Another promotion, another tournament, another title. Another day, and another Manson. Well, here they don't want supernatural abilities, but I suppose thats the budget. I'll adapt because I always do. Every promotion needs this sort however, a bastard devilspawn, a general plague on humanity itself. It goes back to mythology, with Loki betraying his entire pantheon, it goes back to Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night's Dream, with Puck, Robin Goodfellowe himself. And it survives to the modern day, to this industry, to wrestling. To me.
And maybe occasionally Mike Tyson.
But, no, I'm not the devil. Never claimed to be, everyone just said I was, though ironically thats how that guy in the Bible was branded the Son of God, but I'm not him either. No, I'm a simple sort really, but I am here to save you, to imrpove you, to allow you the chance to transcend what you already are.
I am here to save you from banality.
You need me, the GLCW needs me just as much as the Catholic Church needs Satan. You need someone to hate, someone to see a reflection of wehat you won't be, someone who will things you would not contemplate so that in the end, you actually will.
When I blatantly screw you over, when I try to outright torture you, when I go after your family, its really a public service. I'm doing this all, for you, for all of you. So that you will go to the extremes of trying to stop me, trying to do to me what I do to you, even though you should all be bowing at my feet, weeping, and thanking me for making you what you are. Because it never comes down to just winning a wrestling contest, not in this industry. You have to do more, you have to be more. And I am the gateway to this.
You think you all really want to be champion now? Imagine how much more you will when I win it after degrading and dismembering everyone in my path and knowing, just knowing that matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can never harm me as much as I harm you because your imaginations simply lack substance. But you'll just trying, the human race is like that, no matter how nihilistic things get, there's always that ember of hope. And I am the one who sparks it with hate, loathing, disgust, whatever's around.
Because in the end, they very end, you will all be better because of me, not like me, no, because not even I am that good. But I can try, I am still part of the human race.
Sometimes.
