(FADEIN: Doc Silver standing in front of a banner reading ULTRATITLE 12. Doc has on a black T-Shirt that reads "I Hate Love" and his trademark sweatpants. "Blood For Poppies" plays in the background.)
DOC: We're egocentric aren't we? Everyone jumping up and down, Look at me, look at me. It's our world now, Facebook, Twitter, it's all about interjecting yourself into the conversation, it's all about making sure that people know you're out there and you matter.
More then that, we're all sure the story is really all about us. We're the hero of this novel, when the Mega Millions was over half a billion dollars, your ticket was the winner. When you throw your hat in the ring, victory is but a formality.
And you, yes you, are going to win Ultratitle.
You hear the other guys talking a big game about what they are going to do, how they are going to dominate, how everyone else can't hang with them, and it's just annoying background noise, it's just something that annoys you because that idiot has no idea what he's talking about.
Cause you are the one that is going to win Ultratitle.
The fact that 127 wrestlers are going to fall short of the final goal, that 64 of them are going to have their hearts broken in round one doesn't mean a damn thing to you because you're different than all the rest, you're stronger and smarter and tougher then all these pretenders who are in this tournament.
You good sir, you are going to win Ultratitle.
Who cares if you're going to have to fight men who've won Ultratitle before, or that just about everyone who's anyone in this field has held World Titles in many respectable big time companies, and that these legends of the industry have done some really important things, have beaten just about anyone that's been put in front of them, but you know the truth, that they haven't faced anyone like you...Your special blend of skills is a match-up nightmare for anyone and everyone, you're that dynamic wrestler who can't be labeled, can't be pigeonholed and assuredly can't be beaten.
You are going to win Ultratitle.
Now I doubt you'll do it...But I do want you to think long and hard about what this tournament is, it's 7 brutal rounds of pain and suffering, it's a nightmare where the opponents just get better and better each and every round, when you finally crawl out of that ring with a hard fought win to put yourself into the round of 32, guess what the next guy is going to be even tougher, even meaner, even more determined to end your dream than the opponent who just put you through hell...
But that doesn't matter to you, cause you're winning Ultratitle...
The fact that I'm in this thing, and you really have no idea what I'm willing to do to win this thing doesn't scare you in the least, me, I'm some old man, a has-been, I talk a big game, but serious man, when have I done anything recently? Why should I matter? That old band I waste my time quoting hasn't been relevant in over a decade.
True enough on all counts, and I'm sure just one more guy like me won't be that big a problem for you, you big strong wrestling machine you...You got my number I'm sure, if we ever met up in this tournament I'd be lucky to last 10 minutes against such a titan of the squared circle.
Cause you, you are the winner of the 2012 Ultratitle...
But you already knew that didn't you.
You're so vain, you probably think this promo's about you?
Don't you?
