Nikki is sitting in what looks to be an office. He is wearing a shirt depicting the character of REZZ with a silver necklace hanging over top of it. 'A disgusting waste of human life.' Nikki shakes his head. 'Ladies and gentlemen, there comes a time when even people like me need to put aside their differences and look at the world as it is.' His voice is unusually toneless. 'Three days ago in Orlando a group of people where gunned down because they are different from the majority.' Nikki closes his eyes and turns away from the camera. 'A group of forty-nine people have lost their lives,' Nikki continues without looking at the camera. 'While fifty-three others have been injured in some way, shape or form during this mass shooting. It would be a travesty to twist this event into some sort of representation of change; so I will not do that. Instead, I would like to take a minute to look at the one-hundred two victims of this act of terrorism. Forty-nine will never grow old, and fifty-two will live in fear because some people cannot accept their sexual orientation. The amount of human potential that we lost three days ago is immeasurable.' Nikki opens his eyes and looks back into the camera. 'At Unstoppable 25 I will, for one day only, don wrestling gear displaying the LGBTQ flag proudly to show support to the direct, and indirect victims of this atrocity.' Nikki pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts. 'Don't cheer for me at Unstoppable 25 for this. Please don't praise me because I am a human that understands that everyone deserves equality; and a right to go to a club at night and feel safe regardless of sexual orientation. I am doing this for the sole purpose of using my platform to show that there are white straight males that do indeed support the LGBTQ; and hope that others in the crowd are inspired to give blood for the fifty-three victims that are still in hospital.'
Nikki takes another moment to collect himself. Knowing this is a very touchy subject that in the future could be turned against him by some sick and twisted bastard. 'I didn't want to mention this at all because some may look at this and think I'm trying to gain attention from this. That's not true. Some may think that I am trying to make this about me, and it breaks my heart. I was tempted not to talk about it because I did not want to divert any of my attention away from Duke Andrews. He is my opponent this week and deserves my full attention.'
'Duke, you and I are very much so the same; we've already talked about it at length. I think that the one thing I appreciate about you more than the Capital Crew, or First Class, or the Frank Washington/Drew Stevenson situation, or basically anything I see from Silas Romero is that you do not partake in drama. People say Duke Andrews needs to put more effort in to his promos, I say he puts more effort into his promos than ninety percent of the MSW roster. Want proof, MSW roster, that Duke gives more effort?' Nikki lifts his hands and spreads them about a foot apart. 'Drama. A five letter word that people around here love to partake in. Meanwhile, Duke sat in the back row doing what he does best. He would come out here and wrestle, and win with class. Real class.' He emphasizes Real. 'He would throw out a few promos and he would come out and do his job. Yes; Duke Andrews would actually do his job. He wouldn't kidnap people, or say he couldn't wrestle due to a broken hand. He wouldn't team with a guy just to turn his back on him. What you see is what you got with Duke. What's more is that he did it all and never really went insane like I did.' Nikki shakes his head in awe. 'I can't understand how he does it. I spent so many years trying to pull fans back to the simple things in life. I try to sway them so that they would cheer for people who actually produced enjoyable content as opposed to a bunch of drama. I have gone mad trying to wade my way through the bullshit week after week.' Nikki pauses. 'But Duke is told he needs to put in more effort.' He pauses again. 'I'm not sure if the people saying this understand what effort really is. Effort is not putting out some shitty drama video where you scream and whine and bitch and moan and attack someone because they said a few mean things about you.'
Nikki quickly cuts to the right where there is another camera waiting for him. 'Do you want to attack me again? Do you want to show Missouri what you really are?'
The camera cuts back to the centre view. 'Duke's better than that though. You want a man that personifies effort, you look at Duke Andrews. You want a man that's a cut above all of the rest you sure as shit don't look at First Class or Capital Crew, you look at Duke Andrews. He is your favourite wrestler's favourite wrestler and it is about damn time he gets what he deserves; a fair chance at the Pure 15 Championship.' Nikki reaches under the desk and retrieves two texts. He lays them flat on the desk in front of him. 'I think I carry these around for a similar reason.' Nikki points to the Testament of Longinus. 'I admire some of the same qualities in Sister Catherine. Sure, she walks around telling people that she will make them tap out to God. Has she really created any drama though.' Nikki shakes his head. 'Nope. Not really. I respect her; and I show it by listening to what she has to say. I show my respect because these two texts mean a lot to her, and I have held onto them as they were gifts to me. She is so young, yet has those old-school qualities that have been lost by our current generation of wrestler.'
Nikki shrugs and clasps his hands together onto of the texts. 'No one will listen to me though, aside from Duke Andrews. They will hear sounds in their ears as words on an university English textbook are read. And what the mass majority will get from this is that Nikki Venom brought up a tragedy and used it's press coverage to boost his own ego.' Nikki shakes his head. 'What a disgusting world we live in.' The camera fades away leaving a black screen for the dying seconds of the video.
