Black and white. The screen fills with the silhouette of what looks like dilapidated buildings. The noise of natural running water is heard. The camera pans to what appears to be a natural spring of some sort. A man with slicked back hair sits on a park bench looking off into the running spring. The camera focuses on the park bench, a wide shot shows two rock walls running off the sides of the bench. The walls have fallen victim to gravity, the wall is more or less scatterings of big rocks. The camera ever so gingerly zooms closer and closer to the man's back. He slowly begins to rock on the creaky old park bench.The camera slowly circles around the bench to his face. Still in black and white we make out Tyler Xero's eye. His mouth and nose are covered with a dark bandana. His black shirt simply has the word "WAR" sprawled across it in a bold plain font. Tyler begins to speak, the bandana muffles his tone slightly.
Tyler Xero- Card Subject to Change. It's a phrase thrown around by promoters to cover up their flaws. Card subject to change is something a promoter puts on a flyer when he doesn't have faith in his product or talent. Card subject to change is something a snaky promoter tells the people who pay to see his show so they can't sue him when promised performers don't show up.
Tyler tries his hardest to hold it back but a laugh escapes from deep inside of his rib cage.
Tyler Xero- Card subject to change isn't something you tell a top level talent after he's already attacked his opponent with verbal barbs. Card subject to change isn't something you tell a man after he's prepared for weeks to kick someone's head in. It's not something you tell someone after he's flown across the country for the first time fully prepared for an opponent that he's suddenly not facing.
Tyler basically rips the bandanna from his face and drops it at his feet.
Tyler Xero- Congratulations, Peyton. You were handed your advancement in the Best of the Best tournament. Congratulations, whatever connections you have in the office worked in your favor, I wasn't prepared to face a "Hero" that night.
Tyler laughs.
Tyler Xero- Some Hero you guys got here, MSW. You guys cater to him, move the card around because you fear for one talent's safety so you assume blindsiding me will help the situation. Then to top it off, there's no complaint department, no one in this company's god damned office felt it necessary to give me an explanation as to how my opponent could just be changed at the last minute with no notification.
Stray hair begins to fall in his face. He violently flips his hair back. Tyler's normal cocky grin has been replaced with a scathing straight venomous hole.
Tyler Xero- So the Handpicked Hero squeaks a win by me and everyone rejoices. Yay Peyton! Good job! And I go to grab my bags and leave after the show with nothing. No promoter or boss around to air my grievances to. No one gave a shit about Tyler Xero on that night.
He kicks at a pile of gravel by his feet.
Tyler Xero- I head home and I wait. I check my Facebook, I go through my emails, I check my phone for texts, nothing. I look at the MSW website to find not only had I been FUCKED out of my tournament spot, but The Powers That Be...
His sarcastic tone cuts through the air like a knife.
Tyler Xero- ... decided to not even book me the following show. So not only are they attempting to screw me out of MY top spot, they're also taking money away from me and food out of my mouth. You know, Stevenson, you inbred hillbilly hick, I fired shots on you in my first promo and I don't regret that at all. Evidently your way of responding is pulling me from shows. That's all you got tough guy?
Tyler stands up and pulls his shirt across his chest. The camera zooms in on the word "WAR".
Tyler Xero- You see I was fine superkicking a guy here and there and taking the title. I wasn't fine when you guys decided to make changes without telling me or even the courtesy of a text message to alert me. I wasn't fine with you deciding to keep me off of the card the following show. What is it, boys? Scared that good ol' Hollywood Playboy Tyler Xero was going to ruin your Handpicked Hero's victory? Scared that I'd run down to the ring unannounced and kick your Handpicked Hero in the mouth for robbing me of what was mine? You see, MSW, YOU gentlemen have declared WAR on me. I didn't declare it on you. You've made it very clear that the battle lines have been drawn. YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES.
Tyler takes his shirt off and throws it behind him as the camera begins to pan back out. His face is filled with fury.
Tyler Xero- Due to travel issues so and so advances in the tournament. Due to travel issues someone else advances. WHAT ABOUT ME MSW?! You guys have no issue throwing me under the bus to get somebody else over, but when it comes to letting me shine you guys let people advance on without earning it?! You're scared. You guys are scared of what would happen if I captured the title. You're scared of me taking it and running off with it. Admit it. I'm buried at the bottom of the card after co-Main Eventing and not getting booked. You idiots are TRYING to get me to quit. You're begging me to quit, Tyler Xero doesn't quit, he spits in the face of adversity and comes out on top.
He begins pacing back and forth.
Tyler Xero- This week you give me Hunter McKnight... As of right now that is... I could get there and find out I'm wrestling anyone under the sun, given this company's track record I'm probably not even booked for the show. I'll pay to fly myself out to Missouri once again only to be left off of the card or wrestle someone else. We're a few weeks away from Best of the Best let's see if these two can make an impact... Heh... The whole thing is just demeaning of my character. I don't need to make an impact, MSW. I apologize to you, Mr. McKnight, if you're the one I even end up wrestling, because there's a solid month's worth of pent up aggression in my right foot. A month's worth of adversity. A month's worth of hatred. At Unstoppable #6 I'm going to take this rage, bottled up emotion, the stress of working for this company, I'm going to feel it course through my body. I'm going to feel that little ball of pressure roll down my thigh. I'll feel it manuver around my knee cap. It's going to roll down my calf and explode through the bottom of my foot all over your chin. See, Hunter, MSW has poked the lion repeatedly. They've prodded the alpha male and stabbed him with needles to get him aggravated.
His pacing stops as he looks into the camera head on.
Tyler Xero- See, Hunter, they're scared of what I'm going to do. They've jabbed this lion with everything they could. They snuck into this lion's cage one night, they didn't feed him, they threw a brick into his face and then walked away. What they didn't realize, Hunter, is that they left the cage door open. The lion escaped, Hunter, he walked right out of the front door of his cage, he's hungry and he's pissed off. At Unstoppable 6, the lion feeds on his snack before becoming the king of the MSW Jungle.
The scene slowly fades to black. Tyler's voice fades in over the blackness.
Tyler Xero- And to whomever ends up main eventing Best of the Best... Remember... Card Subject to Change.
He begins laughing sadistically. His laugh tails off slowly.
