But a dead crowd can affect a person's enjoyment. I mean, the viewer can go, "This show is already spinning out of control, and people who PAID for this don't give a shit. Why the fuck am I watching when there's some stupid news show or basketball game on instead?"

If you're watching NXT and not WWE because WWE's product is garbage, you should've done that long ago.

If you're watching NXT and not WWE to "make a statement" consider the statement you're making first.

The first one...

So...can I just watch NXT and not WWE at this point? I don't know if any of these stories are true, but my god, this sounds too stupid to not be true...that makes no fucking sense, but it makes ALL the sense in the world given Vince.

I keep hoping Smackdown would benefit from Raw's demise, but Raw is taking Smackdown down with it. BLeh.

How does WWE not go: who is on your list already? Jot down Conrad's list before sounding so stupid.

You know what? Of all things to get me to quit WWE, actually moving forward with names of PPVs THAT dumb might do it. Like seriously. Michael Cole uttering the words "WWE FRESH!" on live TV would be so utterly cringe in so many awful levels.

My "little buddy" is off doing photo shoots for a movie, and he actually plays himself in it, unlike a certain someone in this ring...

But forgive me if I'm being facetious. You want to rip him to shreds. He wants to do FAR worse. I have a question for you. Do you know what it feels like to have your joints sliced into bits? The very same armor that houses your sad, irredeemable soul will lie in pieces. Come cry to us after you wail after being rendered immobile.

Fire burns so bright, yet peters out within pale, desperate cries.

*The lights in the arena flicker on and off, and a familiar song plays*



*Strife appears from the crowd as the song stirs, lurching out from the timekeepers area. He slinks into the ring, and grabs his microphone*

HheheheheheheehehehhhhheHh! Its been some time, hasnt it old world? Some time since you were invited into a place of haunted voices and pale death? A vision of the future, tainted in sickly green and black. Oh yes. I invite you ALL, into Strifes Sanctum!

Its so easy to feign ignorance when you show no painor perhaps when you clad yourself in spikes and fire, it hides it all from view. I hold no such delusions. Yes, I was beaten and left for dead, but as mentioned before, what good will that do any of you? Antagonizing me, lecturing me, or worse yet, provoking me? A little pain in my head is expected from me, one drowning in place on a daily basis.

But what of my guest? What kind of pain is he experiencing now? He battled a mechanized futuristic nightmare, several other foes on top, and yet survived. My guest is none other than the Hardcore Champion himself, Bowser!

*Bowser appears in his flying clown copter, holding his title aloft, staring into the crowd and Strife before the latter begins again*

Before I get your opinion, I have some words for you. You carry with you quite a burden. What you faced off on Cyber Monday was but a whimsical fantasy romp compared to the hells that will await you the longer you hold that championship aloft. Why, not only did you suffer grave damage against CPU, you still have yet to face a speed demon, one who can sever you into pieces within seconds, Sonic the Hedgehog. I implore you to feed yourself full of evil, vigor, and disdain, or you wont survive.

Besides, if rumors are true, Darkness will soon stir again. I would be grateful Sonic is the least of your worries. But please. Go ahead and tell us all what it means to carry said burden, said championship. Im dying to know.

Fear...FEAR! ZERO FEAR! Of course it all boils down to it in the end. Fear comes in many forms, and for Pentagon, he was fear's junior member...when that failed, he assumed tutelage under a master of vampirism. ONLY to fight back and clad himself in darkness. Where did that get him? The temple closed its doors through the whims of life's cruelty, and so he came here.

What made him think things would change? Why would I treat him any differently? I swear no loyalty, except to an Eternal King upon high, and to a blackened soul within myself. What good is it to tempt fate by allying with some...pretentious, volatile soul whose only motivation is seeing arms being broken? Do not assume that being alike is some measure of truth and justice. The Darkness I see and serve is what drives me, not something tangible, not something you can taste, not something you can...lick and smother and love.

DARKNESS HATES YOU!

But it also warns you. It warns you fear is creeping ever closer. So I warn Pentagon not to come near. I warn Scare to stay away. Lest you let fear seethe inside and crush you whole. I alone know its pain and pleasure.

That is, unless you want me to share it?

I find it amazing that both aiding a Pilmanizing and whining about stupid officiating and stupid announcers is totally in line with things I'd do in the same show

I am saddened. Saddened to find out a return to the ring, and in a unique setting to boot, was foiled by an outsider. What kind of message does it send when a man cannot do his own handiwork? What does it say when a doofus in a hat helped a man claim victory?

It says he doesn't know who he messed with. It says this hallowed hall needs a re-education on the perils of making me...angry.

You see, many of you here are fond of your special powers, or fancy smansy skills. But do you know why UCA feared and respected me? Do you know why I spent five long years in a corner of the arena, away from view, away from other "people?" It was because I am my own weapon. I am my own worst nightmare, and I spent plenty of time learning ways to hurt people.

Shoes
Taybles
Chairs
Pipes
Chains

Or if I wanted to, I could...wrap these hands around someone's throat and make them cold and lifeless within seconds. I became one of the last UCA Heavyweight champions by doing whatever I needed to, whenever I needed to, usually by taking someone's most precious emotional attachment, and spitting that back in their faces.

I can eat a loss or two. But believe me...when I say this. Whoever faces me next, will NOT go unscathed. A wrestling ring is my playground, my prison, my temple. And you're standing in my way. You're also standing in the way of a man who revels in breaking arms for sport. What kind of future do you have?

Unfortunately for all of you, human, monster, or ephemeral being: I have come to play. And I play dangerous games.
