((FADEIN: Michael Manson is sitting in front of a glass case. he is sitting Indian-style in his "Praise Manson and Pass the Pez" t-shirt and black jeans, though shoeless with his feet as pale as the rest of his body. The case contains several swords preserved and stained with blood from the Civil War and Japanese feudal period, along with several title belts from various promotions.))
MANSON: Sometimes when I am doing my just prudence in the GLCW, or walking around backstage, I wonder if I somehow lost my way and ended up at a Dark Shadows convention. Between, Golem, Poe, and now Martinez, I wonder if there's enough eyeliner to go around backstage. I realize it's somewaht hypocritical of me to complain about this, but hell, I'm a hypocrite anyway. And isn't a telling sign when I of all people appear to be normal by comparision to these people?
First, we have Golem whose pretensious manner has him claiming he can move mountains and burn the sky and the rest of that Book of Revelations like imagery he likes to use. In fact, he must have been staring up at that invisible fleet of cherub and archangels sent after him during the tournament final, that he couldn't have actually been paying attention to the match and thus, lost.
Then Poe, possibly the most naive man in the world for buying my pseudo Christian act, kept trying to goad me into some meaningless violent encounter. As diverting as that must have been, I prefer to live here, amongst the three-dimensional people. And remember another thing, no one cares about your girlfriend and if or how she died, so stop bringing her up unless you want some sick opponent to use her in pseudo-necrophiliac acts.
And now of course, Martinez, who thinks he is a vampire or just wants everyone else to think that. As much as I'd love to break the Dungeons & Dragons cards with you guys, I only roleplay with cards. I'm not here for that. Poe might have liked to think it would be some sort of bloody hell on earth and Golem wanted some sort of clash of titans, I don't pretend to be much more than I am. And, I'm the one who gets results, as the belt demonstrates. Though, since winning it, I find I'm wasting my time on the roleplaying rejects. Eventually, I'd like to have some form of competition. Though the brass apparently thinks having a cage match with Maelstrom is supposed to intimidate me. However, this is a non-title match, so if Martinez ever gets a title match he would have earned it in a way.
However, the outcome is inevitable. After all, they already booked my cage match with Maelstrom, meaning they must not think that well of Martinez. Surely Martinez has some harsh feelings about being little more than cannon fodder for Maelstrom, but isn't that all he deserves? I realize what I deserve is somewhat......debatable, but that's hardly something that can be argued while I'm everyone's favorite champion. Of course, most of the GLCW being used as cannon fodder for Maelstrom really doesn't say much about most of you. Maelstorm is large in stature and that's supposed to be mean something, so in response someone like Martinez will claim they're undead in an attempt to garner attention.
And it's especially disappointing given how overused the vampire genre is...and given the fact that at the end of every film, they always die.
