Invitational Battle Royal

[Chris Cannon]

Darkness…

It fills the void, however the emptiness we see is silent, there is a voice that sounds familiar, however also distant…

“I suppose it was only a matter of time…”

There is a slight chuckle …

“The signs had been there all along, hidden in plain sight however your minds were always clouded by the ignorance of your bliss… So, the question we ask you is a simple one, who do you believe shall win the battle royal? The names are many, there are those who are unknown to the world of professional wrestling and there are others whose names are synonymous with it…”

Suddenly a spark quickly illuminates someone as they ignite a flame which is used to light a cigarette… Its subtle ember doing nothing to reveal the identity of the individual…

“We all stand in a land that is built for humanity to become so much more… We but need look no further than to those participating in both nights. Humanity has its own conundrum… Because monsters come in all shapes and sizes… Donovan Street, his history needs no introduction for those in the know. Ryu, a monster of gluttony that has hunger which knows no bounds. What of the beautiful harpy known as Willow, the EMERGE Champion? All these names, these people reveal their natures to you the EMERGE fan to curry your favour, to gain your belief in them be it from your cheers or your boos… in other words they would become gods and monsters, oh yes.”

“But I ask you this, are they? Can they live up to the lofty expectations set before them by each and everyone of you? I think not because they do not have it within them to shoulder the burden EMERGE brings with it. Especially considering news of an impending buyout on the horizon, possibly… With this thought, this belief that you all think you have what it takes to lead the charge, to lead EMERGE into the promise land? You are wrong. Blake Mason is wrong, the faux captain is wrong, Donovan Street, is wrong. I could throw down the name of each of you and say that you’re wrong, and you will tell me I speak incorrectly.”

Another chuckle is heard as the individual takes a drag from their cigarette; smoke is exhaled towards the screen to reveal there is a light beaming down.

“In all my time when have I ever lied to you? In SCW when did I lie to you, in IWC when did I lie to you? UWA, not once because I never did, we never did… The price money is useful, the title opportunity, welcome. But the notoriety with what comes next, that lasts forever. You wish to believe? You can believe in a Titan…”

Laughter follows next as the speak emerges to be none other than Aiken Frost, however as he walks off, we see he isn’t alone and has a giant with him, the Modern Day Titan… Blitzkrieg…
