.::Strap in, it’s going to be a long day! A day in the life of Chris Thantos::. [/u][/b][/i][/size] The scene fades in with Chris Thantos fumbling with his key at the door of his home located on the North Shore just across the way from Heinz Field and PnC Park. His hair is a mess and his clothes look like they were slept in and just as he gets his key in the lock the door opens. Thantos takes step back as a beautiful blond wearing nothing but a bath robe glares at him with a look that would kill any other man. With her arms crossed she continues to stare down her husband whom from the look of him had a great time at the Hockey game last night. He brushes past her knowing full well he is in trouble and sets his bag down on the table. She continues to follow him into the kitchen, both staying silent as he pours himself a cup of coffee. After taking a sip he sets the cup down with a bit of force causing some f the cups contents to spill out onto the counter.
Thantos ~
What?! … You’re standing there all pissed off dying to say something so fucking say it already.
Tara ~
Say it already? Is that how you talk to me?
Thantos ~
Why do you always have to start first thing in the morning? Let me get some coffee, let me take a shower … something but no, you have to start bitching as soon as I walk in the door.
Tara ~
First thing in the morning, it’s almost noon you idiot. You were supposed to be home last night. No call, no nothing. All I get is a text … Going to Ottawa for the game, be home later.
Thantos ~
It is later, and besides it was one hell of a game …
Tara ~
and from the looks of you one hell of a night too … what were you doing? Out “celebrating with a couple of those groupy bitches?
Thantos ~
Think what you want, I’m going to take a shower.
Thantos leaves the room as Tara continues to glare when suddenly there is a knock at the door. Tara makes her way to the door and opens it. Standing there are two Best Buy delivery men with what looks to be a 70 inch flat panel TV.
Tara ~
What the fuck is this?
Delivery Guy ~
A TV ma am …
Tara ~
I can see that moron, what the hell is it doing here?
Delivery Guy 2 ~
This was purchased yesterday and we were told to deliver it today … other tan that I can’t help you.
Tara rolls her eyes and motions for the men to come in. They get to work setting up and mounting the TV while Tara makes her way back to the kitchen and begins to clean up the mess Thantos had made earlier. Moments later Chris re-enters the kitchen a new man. His hair pulled back dressed in a $5,000.00 custom made suit. He makes his way back over and grabs his coffee and before he can take a sip Tara starts bitching once again.
Tara ~
What’s with the TV? You never told me you were buying a new TV? Not like your ever home to use it anyway.
Thantos ~
What the fuck are you talking about? I didn’t buy any TV …
Tara ~
Then explain to me why two men from Best Buy are in our living room as we speak hooking up the biggest fucking TV I have seen?!
Thantos thinks for a moment wondering if he purchased a TV in his drunken stuper last night then it dawns on him.
Thantos ~
Honey it’s not what you think … Nick broke my other TV … this must just be a gift from him .. Just then one of the delivery men enter the kitchen with a clip board in hand.
Delivery Man ~
Please sign here and here … also this card came with it. Thantos signs and takes the card from the man and Tara shows them out her temper seeming to have calmed just a bit while Thantos opens the card. Thantos begins to read a smile on his face the entire time and Tara re-enters the room. Chris passes her the card.
Thantos ~
See, it’s gift from Nick. Tara looks over the card then picks up the receipt.
Tara ~
A gift from Nick huh … well if it’s a gift from Nick why the fuck was it paid for with our Bank of America card.
Thantos spits coffee half way across the room then snatches the receipt from Tara’s hand. Wiping the coffee from his lips he shakes his head.
Thantos ~
That mother fucker ….
Thantos pulls his phone from his pocket and dials Nick’s number. Based on the amount of time its taking it looks like Chris s going to get his voice mail.
Thantos ~
Nick it’s Chris … call me back mother fucker …. Got your little gift this morning. When I said you had to buy me a new TV I meant just that, you had to buy me one. Not buy me one with my own fucking credit card.
Chris closes his phone and places it back in his pocket. With a look of rage in her eyes Tara picks up the receipt.
Thantos ~
What are you doing?
Tara ~
Looking for a phone number because this thing is going back.
Thantos ~
Like hell it is …. Nick is going to pay me every penny for this TV … but since I need a new one anyway I don’t see why we can’t keep it.
Tara ~
Because it was $12,000 that’s why … I mean it’s not like we need the money but you don’t need a $12,000 TV.
Thantos ~
When you get a job, or anything remotely close to a job you can tell me what I can and can’t have. Until then, keep your mouth shut. You don’t need 15 pairs of black shoes but you have them.
Tara ~
I need those shoes, don’t you understand how many different types of shoes there are … I mean there are wedges and pumps. Thantos motions for silence and cuts her off.
Thantos ~
Like I give a fuck … the TV stays. Just then Chris’s phone rings. He pulls it from his pocket and looks at the face to see Nick is calling. Asshole ..
Nick ~
I see you got my gift …
Thantos ~
A gift is something you buy for someone, not something you pick out and buy for them with their own fucking money. Now Tara’s bitching up a storm.
Nick ~
Semantics my friend … You needed a tv, I bought you one. And Tara is always bitching, I told you years ago to drop that gold digging bitch. Anyway, we have business to attend to.
Thantos ~
What’s up ..
Nick ~
Fred X and Boxer have called a press conference today …I thought we’d .. you know, drop by.
Thantos smiles before answering.
Thantos ~
I’m on my way.
Chris grabs his keys and makes for the door.
Tara ~
On your way where? You said we could spend the day together?!
Thantos ~
Yeah well … now I’m busy …
Tara ~
Your always busy … I don’t know why I stay married to you.
Thantos ~
That’s easy … the money you gold digging bitch …can you say pre-nup?
Thantos makes his way to the exit Tara bitching at him the entire way. He opens the door and closes it in her face but muffled sounds of her bitching and complaining can still be heard as the scene flashes.
********** 3 Hours Later ********** [/color][/u][/b] Thantos and Nick Kelly pull up to the site of “The Ultimate Fighter” press conference. Both men exit Nick’s Bentley and make their way to where the rather large crowd is formed. They listen in as Fred X and Boxer run down their opponents for the up coming Genocide.Nick ~ Want to go backstage …Thantos ~ Hell yeah … As it seems the press conference is winding down Chris and Nick make their way to the back. They pass several security guards who pay them little to no attention as if they know in their minds that any attempt at stopping the pair is futile. As they get backstage they notice that the conference has ended as Boxer and Fred can be seen exiting through the back. Nick smiles and pulls a CD from his pocket and makes his way over t the production team. He hands them the CD and has a whispered conversation then makes his way back over to Chris.Nick ~ You ready to give these people a real show …Thantos ~ Let’s do this BloodBath style. The camera fades away from Nick and Chris to the crowd which is starting to makes their exit when suddenly “Releasing The Demons” by Godsmack kicks up. The crowd stops in their tracks not quite sure if this is a prank by the Ultimate fighters but all question and wonder is completely removed as Nick’s voice is heard over the PA system.Nick ~ Now that the “The Ultimate Fighters are done boring you to death with the same old song and dance that every other team in this 4 way dance has been saying. Now it’s time you hear from the only real team in the XHCW … BloodBath … A mixed reaction is heard from the fans but they file back in none the less some on cell phones calling friends letting them know what is going on other with their camera phones and video phones ready t record what will no doubt be another epic BloodBath appearance. Thantos and Kelly make their way onto the stage both with their arms in the air. Thantos notices an Ultimate Fighter banner which he promptly rips down and spits on. Both men make their way over to where the microphones are as the music fades away. A silence falls over the crowd as Thantos raises his mic.Thantos ~ I want to share some numbers with you people … The first of which is the number 29. Does anyone know why that number is significant? Thantos looks around then at Nick who knows exactly where he is going with this. That is how old I am …fuck the rumors, fuck the speculation and jokes … I am 29 years old. 3 teams have built their entire verbal war fair against me based on that number. The problem is half of those retarded mother fuckers didn’t even know that number. The next number I want to share with you is 9 …. That number is significant for two reasons….. 1. That is how many years I have been a Pro Wrestler … and in each of those nine years I have been a champion but that is not the other reason that number is significant but close … 9 is how many World Tag Team title reins we have had. 9 … while most of the guys we are facing this week are still looking for championship number 1 we have 9 tag team titles alone. Thantos looks over at Nick motioning for him to talk but Nick passes on the opportunity.Nick ~ Go ahead brother … your on a roll …Thantos ~ Ok … how about the number 3 …. That’s how many times we have unified the NIWF, XHCW and UHWF Tag Team titles. Do you people see what I am getting at? Were not some flash in the pan tag team. We are far from over the hill, far from being past our prime and have accomplished more in our rookie years than most of the so called “Wrestler” we will meet this Monday night …. You want to continue talking about numbers …. How about the number 5 … That is how many titles Nick and I have held at the same time. How about THE NUMBER 20 …. That is how many World title reins we have between us. I could do this all day long. I can sit here and give you numbers that would blow your minds but only one number really counts right now ad that is the number 6 …. That is how many opponents Nick and I have this Monday night. 6 men looking to make a name for themselves. 6 men tht have hopes and dreams. Nick cuts him off.Nick ~ 6 men that are about to have those hopes and dreams crushed when they like all before them fall victim to BloodBath. You see it’s easy for you kids to stand behind a mic and spew off some bull shit, and that’s just what it is. Bull shit that only you and your delusional partners buy. Do you honestly think the fans, or the magazine writers … or anyone else for that matter actually believes for a second that BloodBath is over the hill, past our prime and set for retirement? If you believe that you can kiss my ass and if you think another team is walking out with our tag team titles you can kiss that part of my ass too. You bitches can’t handle us one on one!? What the fuck do you think your going to do when were in there at the same time?Thantos ~ The only glimmer … and I do mean the only glimmer of hope you boys have is teaming together to take Nick and I out before we get started. Because once were in that ring it is all over. That opening bell isn’t to signify the start of the match … No … it’s the bell that tolls for each of you. It’s the bell signifying the end of the delusions … the end of the jokes, the end of the games and the begging of yet another Bloodbath tag team title rein … Don’t take it personal … Just get use to it. Nick and Chris both drop their mic’s and make their way backstage as the scene fades to black.[/size]

.::Different Versions of the Same Story::. [/u][/b][/i][/size] The scene fades in at the XHCW arena in Chicago Illinois, the site of Monday Night Genocide. The camera pans the arena to see that it’s filled to capacity then Zooms in on the announce team who can be seen welcoming everyone to the show taped prior to Genocide.
Ace Bradley ~
Welcome everyone to another Monday night jam packed with action. In just a few short hours we will be live on “The Super Station” TBS as 4 team walk into Genocide with hopes of leaving the undisputed XHCW World Tag Team Champions. Now this match has been in the making for a few weeks but to the “self proclaimed” Champions this match is nothing more than a farce! To the Team known as The BloodBath, Chris Thantos and Nick Kelly there is no reason to have such a match because in their minds …. No team here in the XHCW or anywhere else for that matter has what it takes to beat these two future Hall of Famers.
Spanky Flatbottom ~
You know Ac I find that hard to argue against because I did some checking and as a team Nick Kelly and Chris Thantos have never lost a tag team match. I searched the archive, I searched every where I could think of on the net and the fact is although they have had 9 Tag Team title reins they never lost their titles due to being pinned or submitted.
Ace ~
If they have never been pinned or submitted in tag team action then how do you explain 9 title reins?
Spanky ~
Isn’t it obvious Ace? Stupid question, I forgot you are half retarded; Nick and Chris have either been stripped due to injury, or they have gotten bored defending them because no one has ever come close to beating them so they drop the title and go back to concentrating on their singles careers. When Nick and Chris unified the NIWF World Tag Team and UHWF titles they did so only because no other team had been able t do it before … and as soon as they had possession of both sets of titles have taken out Jay Combs and Fa Show BloodBath promptly threw the NIWF Tag Team titles in the trash stating those titles were beneath them.
Ace ~
If those titles were beneath them why then did they win them to more times?
Spanky ~
I knew you were going to ask that so I asked around and basically BloodBath would reform as a tag team in the NIWF any time a new team came along claiming greatness … or anytime a team called them selves the best or greatest tag tea in the history of anything.
Ace ~
So what your saying is if a team tried to claim they were the best BloodBath would come back and reform just to show them who the real tag team champions were?
Suddenly the fans erupt as Chris Thantos makes his way through the curtain with a mic in his left hand, and his tag team title belt secured around his waste. The fans along with the announce team fall silent as Chris raises his mic. Thantos ~
That’s exactly what he is saying Ace … Call it arrogant, call it pompous but the fact f the matter is Nick and I have been the #1 ranked tag team in the world for 3 years. No one can deny or dispute that … Because just as Spanky alluded to just a few moments ago Nick and I take out the supposed best tag teams in the world when ever they show up. It’s no secret that Tag Team wrestling is a dying art here in America … I don’t like it but it’s just the way it is. Too many rookies come into this business with the goal of winning the World title and there is nothing wrong with that but what that means is a lot less men are willing to put the time in that is needed to become a great team. So when the next “big” tag team would show up claiming greatness Nick and I would make it our personal goal, our personal mission if you will to find out just how good these teams really were. Thantos places his mic free and on the face of his title and pats it. But as you ca see from our tag team record and based on Greg’s inability to argue that we were technically still the champs most of these self proclaimed great teams turned out to be nothing more than a warm up for Nick and I.
That’s not boasting .. That’s a fucking fact and that is what tonight all is about. We started with 2 tag teams and 12 other guys that paired up with someone. I know your confused by that statement Ace so before you ask allow me to break it down for you. There were only two real tag teams when this tournament started …. BloodBath of course, and Revolution X. Like Nick and I Cid and Justin have been working together for a long time. The rest of these teams are nothing more than 12 singles wrestlers that thought they would take a chance. That Ace … is what 3 teams are doing here tonight. They are taking a chance; they have everything to lose and everything to gain. For BloodBath, winning tonight just means that we are still the best damn tag team in the world … and a BloodBath lose means that someone got lucky enough to get BloodBath in a match that isn’t a true tag team match.
Look at it this way people … this match will be anything but a tag team match! This match is 12 men stepping into a ring and the last man standing wins the tag team titles for his team. So if by some miracle, some act of God BloodBath were to lose all it would mean is that the team that walks out tonight’s with out titles would have a nothing to look forward to but a real tag team title match against BloodBath after the Pay per view. Nick and I are not delusional … Nick and I know that anything can happen out there tonight. The other 10 men in this match could decide that since BloodBath is the biggest threat that they are going to team up to take us out. Nick and I are bad mother fuckers but 10 on two? …. Like I said, “Were not delusional!” And if I were The Ultimate Fighters, The Brand or Revolution X …. That is exactly what I would do because we have heard it all week. 3 other teams all were telling their own version of the same story. They have all claimed to be the team that is going to finally lay BloodBath to rest.
3 other teams all went out there during interview after interview telling the world the reasons they believed they were walking out with our titles. Be it because Nick and I are over the hill and no longer able to compete on the level we have been competing on for almost 9 years. Or because The Ultimate Fighters are the weak link in this match .. the under dog if you will. Be it that one member of each team was carrying the load for the entire team and for that reason this team or that team had the edge … Thantos shakes his head and smiles.
Like I said, “Same Story … Different Versions!” Hell I even heard Kash and Justin Payne claim that Nick was mailing it in and I was carrying the load … That Nick no longer had the passion it would take for BloodBath to be as dominant as we once were … That he only cares for himself … But let me tell you something Justin … and Kash, you are well aware of this so think of this as a reminder of sorts. Nick Kelly at 50% is better than any one of you. Not because he is my tag team partner, not because all that he has accomplished but because he proves it week in and week out. Justin and Cid are so consumed with being the funny guys of the XHCW that when they run off at the mouth about their interactions with BloodBath they fail to realize that any time they got the upper hand on us it was not due to skill but because they jumped us from behind. Or because they jumped us 2 on 1 but tonight they won’t have the chance. Tonight they face the most awesome tag team force in the history of wrestling. There will be no cheap shots … there will be no steel chairs and there will be no place to hide. Justin Payne and Cid Black claim that they jumped me the night I made my return because they wanted to make an impact? They wanted to get our attention?! Tonight you have it … Tonight Nick and I will eliminate the members of The Brand and the members of The Ultimate fighters one by one until all that remains is Revolution X …. And BloodBath and then, and only then will Cid and Justin realize the mistake they have made.
When reality sets in and both of you are clutching your necks in pain having just been dropped on your heads and eliminated with the best finishers in the business … My Onward~Downward … and Nick’s Natural ~ Causes will be a marquee moment for Revolution X …. It will be a career defining moment …. It will be the moment they both realize that they are good, but BloodBath is great and that’s the different between us. Nick and I will always be great … after we are dead and buried BloodBath will be remembered and our matches talked about. In your version of the story the names Cid Black and Justin Payne will be talked about along side ours as the men who were finally able to stop The BloodBath … the problem is … it’s a story, a fairy tale and nothing more. Talking about beating BloodBath is the easy part ….accomplishing it is impossible. The camera pans in as Thantos removes his sunglass revealing his emotionless stare. Don’t take it personal …. Just get use to it.
Thantos lowers the mic and turns around heading back through the curtain as the scene fades to black.

.::Your Judged By the Company You Keep::. [/u][/b][/i][/size] The scene fades in with as Chris Thantos enters the locker room of Bloodbath located in the prestigious XHCW arena in Chicago Illinois. As the door closes behind him Chris glances around the room which prior to the addition of Trax, Ronnie and Extreme Machine was sufficient for two men with the legendary stature that Chris Thantos and Nick Kelly have but with 3 new additions the room somehow looks smaller? Thantos makes his way over to the couch and takes a seat, lounging back with a smile planted on his face when the door suddenly opens. The camera pans away and zooms in as Trax and Extreme Machine make their way into the room conversing about this past weeks Genocide.
Trax ~
Man I have to play you the messages I got from Tomas Monday night after he regained consciousness.
Machine ~
How pissed was he?
Trax ~
Brother you have no idea … if words could kill my ass would be dead as fried fucking chicken.
Machine ~
Yeah well, you should have heard the barrage of shit flung in my direction by Cid and Justin … from what I hear they were fucking jacked when they found out that Chris and I planned this from jump.
Thantos watches on his smile wider than before knowing how affected the members of revolution x and Profit Posse were by the duel betrayal.
Thantos ~
What’s up boys?
Machine ~
Same old man, where the fuck have you been the last few days?
Trax ~
You’ve pulled a Nick Kelly and blown off every promo time you booked?!
Thantos ~
Yeah well ,.. Laughing just a bit Needed to take a few days away to handle some personal shit. It’s good to see you boys have been carrying the load in my absence.
Machine and Trax take a seat at the table just to the left of the couches after grabbing a few beers from the frig. Thantos stands and makes his way over to the table.
Thantos ~
I’ll be back in a few, I need to find that little trick Ace Bradley …
Trax ~
He’s in catering … at least he was five minutes ago. You know him, always trying to get some scoop he cornered Paul and I but Paul threatened to put him in the trash compactor if he didn’t piss off.
Thantos ~
Let me guess … he was out like a thief in the night?
Machine ~
Took off like he stole something from K-Mart, but as we were leaving I saw him talking to that new cat Walter … Walter umm what ever the fuck his name is.
Thantos ~
Stewart!
Machine ~
Come again?
Thantos ~
His name is Walter Stewart … He’s an XHCW original, one of the first guys to sign long term. He’s not a bad guy, kind of a loaner but trust me when I tell you that he’s not a man to be taken lightly. Anyway, I’ll be back … See if you can get a hold of Nick and Ronnie while I’m gone. Game one of the Pens, Rangers is tomorrow night and I have 5 tickets.
Trax ~
Will do bro .. Tell Ace Paul says hi ..
Machine chuckles and Chris walks away shaking his head with his smile still intact as if nothing could remove it. Thantos exits the room and the camera follows him down the hall and to the left where catering is set up for house shows and Monday night Genocide. As Chris enters the catering area he looks around for Ace whom he spots almost instantly sitting along at a table going through some note. Chris makes his way over and place his palms flat n the table. Ace slowly looks up as if uncertain of Chris’s intentions but when he see’s the smile his demeanor changes and he invites Chris to sit with him. Accepting the invitation Chris pulls out the chair opposite Ace and takes seat.
Ace ~
That was quite an impact BloodBath made this past Monday night. I mean 3 new members, another tag title rein .. Everything seems to be coming together.
Thantos ~
Yeah well, you know how we roll.
Ace ~
How did the whole thing come together anyway? I mean I understand how Extreme came into the picture but how did you get Trax to turn on Tomas and the rest of Profit Posse?
Thantos ~
Honestly Ace, You may not believe this but Trax approached us … I mean he’s the fucking Champ and I respect him for making the decision he made. Same with Machine, I mean you think you know about his situation and why he joined BloodBath but the fact is I never told him he needed to leave Revolution X, on the contrary all I wanted him to do was take out Jay Swift. He made the call to leave Rev X. Same with Ronnie, he approached Nick about making a return and as you know Nick and Ronnie tagged together so it fit. The two became 5.
Ace ~
Why do you think that is? I mean, why do you think Machine and Trax chose to turn on the men that trusted them … men they fought side by side with?
Thantos ~
Easy … People are judged by the company they keep … Everyone knows that and the fact of the matter is both men saw opportunity with Nick and I that they didn’t see in Profit Posse or Revolution X. I mean being 100% honest Cid Black and Justin Payne are going to be a big deal in the XHCW. Sooner I believe than later … but the fact of the matter is and whether they want to admit it or not they are not on the same level as Nick and I are. I am talking about right now, not the future … and the same goes for Montgomery … The rest of Profit Posse are irrelevant because let’s face it … Swift is done in XHCW and Tomas is nothing.
Ace ~
With a questioning look on his face. Nothing? How can you say he’s nothing, the man is the UHWF World Champion?!
Thantos ~
So what does that mean … nothing … There is a reason that Tomas isn’t a member of BloodBath … now he may be the king of the mountain in the UHWF but the UHWF is not the XHCW. Tomas Montgomery is beneath BloodBath … his weak ass World title is beneath BloodBath and Trax recognized that. He realized that the best align themselves with the best. You hang out with guys like Swift … Montgomery .. people that are big shots in the UHWF but couldn’t accomplish a fucking thing here and people see your weakness … the men watching your back and guys like Cid and Justin aren’t fucking stupid. They would have jumped on that dying fish like a shark that smells blood. So Trax aligned himself with men he knew he trusts, men he knew would watch his back and men he knew would elevate him game.
Ace ~
Ok, I get your point and your opinion, I don’t share the same as I feel that Tomas is definitely better than your giving him credit for but it is what it is. SO tell me, this super group reminds me a lot of X … What are your thoughts on being in a group like this again because if I remember correctly you were always very vocal about X being good and bad for business … is that how you feel about BloodBath?
Thantos ~
To be honest with you Ace I don’t. The fact is X was great; the members of X are 5 of the best ever and yes I am including Kash. He was just as big a part of making X great as Nick and I were. But, the difference here is X was bad for business because people wanted to see us competing against each other, not teaming. The ego’s in that group wouldn’t let that happen. None of us were willing to step in the ring with the other because the loser wouldn’t be able to deal with the loss. That is the difference here. Trax is a great champion but if he thinks for a second that Nick won’t be looking to regain that World title one day he is crazy … Or if he think that I won’t be looking to win the only World title that has eluded me he’s off his fucking rocker and he knows it. Right now we are focused on taking out The Brand but once we finish them off the time will come when BloodBath members will have to face off with other bloodbath members and we are all cool with that. When we formed this crew everyone checked their ego at the fucking door and 5 men became one team with one mission. Destroy The Brand, dominate any that appose BloodBath and make The XHCW the most watch company in wrestling.
Ace ~
I think that’s great … honestly I would love to see a Chris Thantos Nick Kelly match, or a Trax Chris Thantos match. The possibilities are endless.
Thantos ~
That they are, and that is one of the reasons that we are different than X. You will never see another faction like X but X is the past … BloodBath is the future .. don’t take it personal …just get use to it.
Thantos stands and the scene fades.

size=4] .::What the Hell is Really Going on?::. [/u][/b][/i][/size] The scene fades in sometime after Genocide went off the air. The camera pans the area to see Chris Thantos and Cid Black sitting in chair opposite one another in the lobby of the XHCW corporate headquarters in Chicago Illinois. Both men have cuts and bruises on their collective faces from the brawl that ensued causing both men to be taken away in cuffs by security. Neither man is looking at the other but rather Chris is sending a text message while Cid is playing a game on his PSP. Chris’s phone chimes indicating a returned text message catching Cid’s attention for just a moment and just as Chris begins to reply a well dressed women approaches the two men. She looks them up and down and shakes her head in a disapproving manner and Cid looks up at her turning his head to the side a bit.
Cid ~
What the fuck are you looking at you dingy bitch? Thantos looks up at Cid, not looking angry but more so amused. Look at her, looking at us like we are trash or something.
Trish ~
The two of you should be ashamed of yourselves; you cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars. Were probably going to get sued for more to pay for the damage to the SUV and on top of that the two of you couldn’t wait to step in the ring with each other so you started a brawl in the parking lot like a couple of thugs.
Now looking angry as the look of amusement fades from his face Thantos stands up and Cid follow suit. The lady takes a step back but both men stand in place.
Thantos ~
First and for most lady I don’t know who the fuck you think you are but you better watch you mouth. I’m an equal opportunity ass kicker so don’t think for a second that I won’t punch you in the fucking head …. Annoying bitch.
Cid ~
Cid Chuckles as it’s obvious that the things Chris just said to her offended her very much.Father time and I don’t agree on much but you are annoying as hell you judgmental bitch. How about you tell us why were here instead of standing there with that dumbass look on your face.
Trish ~
Looking as if she were about to cry and sounding a bit choked up she answers lowering her head in shame. Damien Kane wants to have a word with the two of you. Personally I hope he suspends you.
Cid ~
Personally I think you can eat a dick … Frustrated as hell she turns and motions for them to follow. They begin to make their way down the hall and Cid turns to Chris. Were you kidding when you said you’d punch her in the head?
Thantos ~
Looking serious for the first time. Damn right I would … Are you going to stand there and tell me that if she insulted you again you wouldn’t have?
Cid ~
Hell no, I would never hit a women … I would have thrown her ass out that window over there. Thantos looks to the area Cid is pointing to then looks back at Cid.
Thantos ~
Yeah were throwing her out of a 14th floor window is a lot better than breaking her jaw. Thantos rolls his eyes and Cid smiles and for a brief moment in time the two men seem to have forgotten how much they hate one another but both men seem to come back to reality as they enter the office of Damien Kane, the Vice President of Corporate Affairs. Chris and Cid approach his desk and take a seat in the chairs facing Damien who can be seen sitting behind his desk reading over what looks to be an official document.
Damien Kane~
Can Trish get either of you anything before we begin?
Thantos ~
How about a blow job .. can she get me one of those?
cid ~
Yeah me too … hell if there free I’ll take two.
Trish storms out of the room more offended than before closing the door behind her as both Chris and Cid laugh.
Damien Kane ~
That’s enough you fucking jokers … you think this shit is funny? Do you know how much this little stunt of yours could cost this company?
Thantos ~
According to the cunt you sent to get us ”Hundreds of thousands of dollars”[/u][/color] Damien Kane ~ Sounding calm but obviously angry. That cunt you speak of is my sister! Cid ~ I’d fuck her … No longer able to hold it in Thantos lets out a bellowing laugh.Damien Kane ~ That’s enough Mr. Black.Cid ~ I’m serious man, I would bang that bitch like a screen door in a hurricane.Damien Kane ~ Slamming his fist down on the desk. I said, “That’s enough!” If you open your mouth again I will fire you. The two of you may be able to beat my ass all over thus building but remember this, while you have physical power over me. I have the power of the pen over you. The pen that signs your contracts, the pen that signs your paychecks and I swear to god the men that will sign the letter sending you home to rot while you wait for your contract to expire. Do you understand me? Cid and Chris both nod in agreement but the looks on their faces basically tell the story of what is going on in their heads.Damien Kane ~ Now, I have two things I need to cover with you two. First, the two of you will have a rematch this week on Genocide … and this match will take place in the ring. I don’t want anymore bull shit. If I so much as hear a rumor that the two of you laid a finger on each other I will strip both of you of your title and suspend you for 60 days each without pay. We have a real opportunity here …. The fans want to see a Chris Thantos Cid Black rematch. This is the biggest feud we have going today and the fans are dying to see the two of you tear each other apart. But in the ring, for Cid’s title … not in some parking lot so get your shit together because there is a lot of money to be made by all of us.
So here is what we are going to do and again, if either of you fuck this up you will sit for 60 days. I don’t care if that means I have to bring back the Jackely brother and booked them against two midgets. I have decided that this match is going to be a no disqualification match, The only way his match can end is by pin fall, submission or knock out. Cid smiles as if the greatest plan in the history of planning just popped in his head. Now before you go thinking that this no dq stipulation means that this is an open invitation for your buddies to come down and turn this match into a fucking circus let me tell you the other stipulations of the match. Cid’s smile fades. Along with the No disqualification rule I am adding a no interference rule. If anyone interferes in this match not only will I fire the man they help, but I will fire them as well. And, to keep things from getting out of hand each of us will choose an enforcer for this match. To keep people from getting involved just in case … so who will it be Cid?Cid ~ Justin Payne … no question. Damien looks at Chris.Thantos ~ Nick Kelly …Damien Kane ~ As if I needed to ask, well my enforcer is going to be B.W. Kash. I think with those three at ringside order should be maintained. Which brings me to the second point … Damien pulls up the paper he was reading when the two men walked in. What I am holding her is a letter from the legal department of the UHWF written on behalf of Jay Swift and Jackson Steele. Without getting into all the details it basically states that if you two don’t stop bashing the two of them they are going to file a defamation suit against not only you, but the XHCW as well for allowing you to talk that way about them on our TV shows. Jackson called Greg personally asking him to handle you to.Thantos ~ Are you fucking kidding me … tell me this is a joke?Damien Kane ~ I wish I could but the fact is they are pissed. First Machine, Justin and Cid walk out on the company then You and Machine destroy Jay Swift causing serious injury the night before his contract expired. From the looks on both Chris and Cid’s faces it seems they have found yet another thing they agree on but Kane starts talking again before either man has a chance. Look, this is crap … I know it, you know it. Jay Swift is a never was and he decided to leave the XHCW because in his heart he knew he would never have the success he found early on in his XHCW career once Chris came back and guys like Cid and Justin stepped up their game. Everyone know that the UHWF s nothing more than a second rate version of the XHCW … Everyone knows that the UHWF is where guys that can’t cut it in the XHCW go to win titles. Everyone knows that Steele uses his affiliation with the XHCW to try and steel talent.
But we don’t need this right now; we can’t have two of our top stars tied up in court. So do me a favor and lay off Steele and Swift. Say what you want about their sorry excuse for a wrestling company but keep their names out of it otherwise I am going to have to take action. So give me your word … promise me you’ll lay off those two?1 Both men turn and look at one another before turning their attention back to Kane and nod in agreement.Damien Kane ~ Great, thank you for understanding … I’m sorry I was hard on the two of you earlier but it seems the only way to get your attention it to threaten to take away the only thing I can use to hurt you. So, no hard feelings? Cid stands and reaches his right hand over the desk offering it to Damien who takes it in his and they shake hands showing that all is well. Cid looks down at Chris as he releases Damien’s hand.Cid ~ I can wait till Monday but come Monday night am walking in Belt of Cid champion and I am walking out belt of cid champion. Cid goes to pat Chris on the should but hesitates looking back at Damien as if he were wondering if the pat on the back would constitute breaking the rules. Deciding not to tempt his fate Cid makes his way to the door, You coming father time? I figure since I can’t beat your ass maybe we can grab a beer and you can tell me what it was like when Moses parted the red sea!Thantos ~ Very funny Mother fucker … but I have to pass! Damien and I have a few other things to talk about. Damien looks confused as he lounges back in his chair. Cid waves then exits the room closing the door behind him. I’ll lay off Steele and Swift, those two cowards are a waste of my time anyway.Damien ~ Thank you, I figured it would take a lot more to convince someone with a reputation such as your for being anti authority.Thantos ~ Yeah well, it’s not like I am doing it out of the goodness of my heart. I mean lets face facts .. I’m rich, I’m not afraid of going to court and I don’t give two shits if those two pussy’s sue me. So if you want me to lay off then your going to have to do me a couple of favors.Knae ~ Come on man, what the fuck … Why do you have to be such a prick all the time.Thantos ~ Because that’s who I am … and don’t ever threaten to fire me again. You know damn well that if you fired me I would have a job in Japan before I hit the first floor. Your going to do me these little favors and I am going to do yours.Damien Kane ~ What do you want?Thantos ~ Well first and for most I want you to make a new title belt for next Monday night. I want you to put my name on the face plate and I want this title to replace that sorry excuse for a title belt Cid is carrying around. I want it renamed the minute I win it and I want it presented to me right after the match.Damien Kane ~ I get what your saying .. I do. That belt isn’t even a sanctioned title but Greg was looking to add a 4th singles title anyway so this I can do but what if you lose? Why put your name plat on the thing before you win it?Thantos ~ You’re a funny guy Kane, a very funny guy. That, or you don’t know very much about ”The Original Loose Cannon”[/u] Chris Thantos. I don’t lose title matches. As a matter of fact if you take a look back at my career I have made a career out of taking titles away from guys like Cid Black.[/color] Damien Kane ~ I know your one of the best in the world, and I have all the confidence in the world in you but anyone can lose to anyone on any night but …. I’ll do it, what do you want to call the title?Thantos ~ Anything but “Belt of Cid” shit I really don’t care. Where was Greg thinking of placing this title in the pecking order?Damien Kane ~ Below the World title but above the Xtreme title … I’ll talk to Greg about the name and get back to you .. what’s the other favor?Thantos ~ Smiling just a bit. I want you to book a match for the May 12th Genocide between Trax and Ronnie McNeil ..[/color] A look of shock takes shape on the face of the normally calm Damien Kane.Damien Kane ~ Ok … what the hell is that all about? I mean they just joined BloodBath a few weeks ago?Thantos ~ Well, neither man seems very motivated. I mean Trax lost his World title to a nobody from the UHWF who is now carrying our World title around in the UHWF locker room and we can’t have that. Trax is better than that … and I think this match will properly motivate him to regain his title and his honor at the Pay Per View … and I have a stipulation of my own. The loser has to leave Bloodbath.Damien Kane ~ But … what if Trax loses to McNeil? Thantos ~ Then he doesn’t belong in BloodBath … We tossed Montgomery from BloodBath because like everyone else on the UHWF roster he is beneath us. If Trax can’t beat McNeil then he has no business in the XHCW let alone BloodBathDamien Kane ~ What the hell is really going on here? Why the games? If you don’t want McNeil or Trax in BloodBath why play this game? Why not just kick one of them out?Thantos ~ This isn’t a game .. and we don’t want to lose either of them but it appears to me that they have lost their edge. BloodBath is the most elite group in wrestling history and if we have standards to uphold. If Ronnie and Trax can’t meet those standards then we will find guys that will … So if we have a deal and there’s nothing else I have a match to prepare for. Damien extends his hand much like Cid did just minutes before. Reluctantly Thantos takes the mans hand in his sealing the deal with a handshake as the scene fades to black.[/size]

.::Larry King Live: Cid Black, UHWF, Jackson Steele and More::. [/u][/b][/i][/size] The scene fades in with Chris Thantos sitting across the table from one of televisions most infamous talk show host’s, “Larry King!” The camera man motions that they are 5 seconds away from returning from commercial and Larry straighten his posture as Thantos takes a sip from the bottle of water sitting in front of him.
Larry King ~
Were back with Wrestling legend and one half of the current XHCW World Tag Team Champion, ”The Original Loose Cannon” Chris Thantos. Chris, welcome to Larry King live.
Chris Thantos ~
Thanks Larry, it’s great to be here.
Larry King ~
Now Chris as you may, or may not know I have had several members of the XHCW roster on my show and other than B.W. Kash I have to say that this is an interview that I have wanted to do for a long time.
Chris Thantos ~
It does seem that your making a name for yourself as the one member of the so called “Legit” media that is willing to take Pro Wrestling and more importantly Pro Wrestler seriously and that means the world to.
Larry King ~
Pro Wrestling has always intrigued me for many reasons and as you said not a lot of media outlets outside of the Meltzers and the occasional appearance on Saturday night live or Regis and Kelly look at Pro Wrestling as anything more than a circus act. But having met so many people from the world of wrestling and having seen some of the things you guys go through during and to prepare for matches I have no choice but to respect what you guys do.
Chris Thantos ~
You bring up a really good point, a lot of people don’t take the time to understand our business and that is where the lack of media coverage comes from. But … as soon as a tragedy happens, and overdose, DUI what have you the media jumps all over it and crucifies the sport. We fall under entertainment and no one outside of Pro Wrestling looks at us as anything but entertainment yet the government wants to regulate us like a real sport. Honestly its bull shit. No other “entertainment” company has the government coming in and saying we want your entertainer’s drug tested. You know I don’t want to go off on a rant here because I’m sure this isn’t what you had planned for us to talk about but anyone who thinks that Hollywood doesn’t have the same drug problems we do must be high themselves.
Larry King ~
I completely agree, I have been to a few Hollywood parties myself and seen drug use that would blow your mind but do you think that there should be testing and regulations in Pro Wrestling?
Chris Thantos ~
You know Larry that’s the thing I do think it needs to be monitored but not by the government. Personally I do not use anymore. It’s no secret that at one time I had a big problem with cocaine. I don’t nor would I ever deny that but let us handle it and that’s all I am really going to say about that.
Larry King ~
Thantos takes another sip of water as Larry shuffles the papers in front of him. Now moving on this coming Monday night live on Fox Sports Net you are taking on a relatively new name in the XHCW in Cid Black Now this isn’t the first meeting between the two of you and from what I know of the situation the only clean win was in the Tag Team Tournament finals where you and Nick Kelly won the tag team title.
Chris Thantos ~
Yeah Cid and I have a bit of history, and for being as new to the sport as he is he proving difficult to beat.
Larry King ~
Why is that Chris? I mean I have followed your career a bit and it seems that whenever a new guy, like Cid comes along trying to make a name for himself by beating a Chris Thantos, a Nick Kelly … Kash, Franchise Killer so on and so forth you guys dispose of them easily and they find their place and realize that their just not ready to take on the best.
Chris Thantos ~
Yeah, … generally that is the case but this is a different animal all together. It isn’t that I can’t beat Cid but rather I can’t get him one on one. What I mean is every time we have a match Justin Payne runs in and saves the day or something else happens that gets the match thrown out. This would have been over the first time Cid and I stepped in the ring together but Justin saved Cid’s ass and here we are a month later.
Larry King ~
Now this match is for the “Belt of Cid” title. Larry looking confused pulls his paper in closer to his face and reads it again. Still looking puzzled he lowers the paper setting it on the desk. “Belt of Cid?” Is that correct? Thantos smiles as he nods and Larry shakes his head. Ok your going to have to explain this one to me. I know Greg Anthony didn’t create a title that just o happens to be the first name of the guy carrying it.
Thantos chuckles nodding his head as if to say, “Your not the only one confused about the title.
Chris Thantos ~
Greg was toying around with the idea of having a US title about a year ago. He had the belt made but then decided against it at the last minute and basically what went down is Cid was in Greg’s office messing around and he came across the old XHCW US Title. After some fancy marker work Cid declared himself the first “Belt of Cid” champion. The powers that be decided that wanted to put another singles title in the fold and decided to sanction the title knowing that as soon as Cid lost it the title would be given a real name.
Larry King ~
Well I guess that’s one way to become a champion, to hell with winning a belt the old fashion way. I can’t believe the powers that be allowed him to do that.
Chris Thantos ~
Like I said, “I think it was because they wanted to create a new singles title anyway.” Honestly I give the kid credit. Rather than waiting for a title match he went out and did something. I think it started out as a joke for him because Cid is a bit of a joker but when they decided that he was going to defend it I think it hit home with him that he has a belt and no matter how ridiculous the name is he’s a champion.
Larry King ~
Now will this be his first title defense or has he defended it before.
Chris Thantos ~
I could be wrong but I believe he did defended it once against Andrew King so this will be the second and final time the “Belt of Cid” will be defended.
Larry King ~
So you think you have this match in the bag?
Thantos ~
Absolutely, when this match is over that belt will be added to my collection.
Larry King ~
Is there any chance at all that Cid is walking out of this match still holding his belt?
Chris Thantos ~
No!
Larry King ~
None what so ever?
Chris Thantos ~
None! It’s just not going to happen.
Larry King ~
What if he gets himself disqualified? Titles don’t change hands if the match ends in a disqualification?!
Chris Thantos ~
We don’t have to worry about that Larry … Certain measures have been taken to assure that this match will have no interference and it’s a no disqualification match so basically nothing is going to save Cid this time.
Larry King ~
Nodding his head I hear the finality in your voice when you say that Cid has no chance of walking out of this match as champion but what has you so confident?
Thantos takes another sip of water looking around the room as if to find the words to answer Larry’s question.
Chris Thantos ~
Let me give you a little analogy to help you understand why I am walking out of Genocide with Cid’s title. Ya see my situation with Cid Black is a lot like a parent who has a child that is slow, you know has a low IQ and maybe you can go as far as to say the kids retarded. The kid is so retarded that is can’t remember to breathe. His parents keep telling him, “Johnny, you have to remember to breathe or you’re going to die.” But Johnny doesn’t remember and ultimately like his parents said he dies. The kid was so stupid that no reminder in the world was going to save him, there is nothing that could have been done.
Cid is that retarded kid, no matter how many times I say it, not matter how many times I prove it and no matter how many times he hears it from the people around him he just doesn’t get the fact that he can’t beat me. Not because he isn’t a good wrestler, quite frankly he is good at what he does and has a lot of potential to be great one day but he’s just not good enough to beat Chris Thantos and like the retarded kid in my analogy there is nothing anyone can do to save Cid and there is nothing Cid can do about me walking out with his title!
Larry King ~
Ok, I’ll go along with that … So after you win this Monday night what’s next for Chris Thantos?
Chris Thantos ~
I think that after I beat Cid I would like to defend BloodBath Tag Team titles. We haven’t really defended them since we won them so that is something I would like to do.
Larry King ~
Do you have a tag team in mind that you and Nick would like to face that you haven’t faced before?
Chris Thantos ~
Honestly, if Nick and I could take on anyone in the world right now I would like to challenge Jay Swift and Jackson Steele, not because I think they have a chance in hell at winning the match and not because I think they would be competition for Nick and I but because of some recent comments made by Jackson.
Larry King ~
I was going to touch on that you see unlike most talk shows and I am not sure if my viewers are aware of this or not but I do not script my interviews, we don’t ask out guests what we can and can not ask but this is a subject I didn’t want to touch on without permission and since you brought it up I wanted to ask you about some of the things Jackson said about you.
Chris Thantos ~
By all means shoot .. That’s what I am here for.
Larry King ~
Ok, recently Jackson Steele said the following about you.
( Chris Thantos, you're the guy who really shouldn’t say a fucking word. You were gone for months because you had a tummy ache or whatever it was. Now you come back and want to pick a fight you cant win. Hopefully your response is vocal because from what I heard you can barely move your hands. But that’s what's great about the XHCW, they love the handicappers. Chris, you used to be a guy who was about this business someone who seen right through these young guys and didn’t fall for their drama bullshit, but those days are gone. You would rather side with a guy whose promos are so bad Helen Keller could beat him. Chris, I understand the shit you're saying. You have put down the UHWF before. But as you were rping here, you put it down...as you wanted me to post your little segment here...you put it down. See the pattern people? People love putting down the UHWF but yet they rp here or talk about how great the cards are and how much fun it is to be around here. People like knocking you when you're on top.)[/i] Now we’ll get to the other things he said but I wanted to get your thoughts on this because I found it odd that you were defending Cid Black while having such a heated rivalry with the guy.Chris Thantos ~ I’ll start with the injury that kept me away for months … Steele can say whatever he wants about it but it was nothing to poke fun at. I almost lost the use of my right arm from the elbow to my fingers and he knows it. He can down play it and use it to try and make a fucking joke but the fact is he knows what happened to me. Since he wants to make fun of something terrible that happened to me in real life and not as a part of some storyline I can’t wait for tragedy to strike him, or his family so I can use it as a punch line. As for me sticking up for Cid it’s simple … he is a part of the XHCW, Extreme Machine is a part of XHCW and when the owner of another wrestling company comes in our locker room and starts bashing younger, less experience guys on our roster your damn right I am going to stick up for them. We all start at the bottom in this game and the fact that he is now ready to bash them for being new makes me fucking sick considering not one month ago he tried like hell to sign both Machine and Cid Black.
As for me putting down the UHWF … I never bashed the UHWF out of character. Everything I said about them was either in a column or in a promo and everyone knows there is a huge difference between in and out of character. Since he wants to bring this out in the open that’s fine I’ll explain why I have said what I have been saying in character as of late. I was pushing for a war between the UHWF and the XHCW … a cross promotional PPV if you will. Everything I said was to get under the skin of the competitors over their so that they would be properly motivated to take us on. I mean let’s get real … I have said in character 100 times how shity Tomas Montgomery is … When Profit Posse joined BloodBath we kicked Tomas to the curb and said it was because he was a UHWF guy and the UHWF was beneath us. In my last promo I bashed Tomas again and made a match between BloodBath members one for being a whinny little bitch and one for losing his World title to Tomas … Seriously if Tomas was that much of a piece of shit he wouldn’t have beaten Trax.
But Steele took all that shit personal, he forgot the difference between in character and out of character. He says I am starting a fight I can’t win? What the fuck is that. I would take on anyone on his roster and beat their ass. As a matter of fact there is not one guy of significance on his roster that I haven’t beat. If he is talking about Jay Swift then I know he is out of his fucking mind because to me Jay is nothing. His promo skills are mediocre at best and when he loses a match he whines and cry’s to anyone that will listen to him. When he and Trax lost in the Tag Team title tournament everyone in the back was waiting to see Jay to see how long it would be before he flipped out … and trust me it didn’t take long. Jay Swift knows I would crush him and if Steele is talking about himself all I have to say is bring it Bitch.Larry King ~ I don’t know who he was talking about and to be frank I do not watch his product but that’s not all he had to say so lets take a look at the rest.( You see its easy to make fun of each other, there’s a lot of things people can say to me and my company and get a nice little burn. But the truth is, we've been open for 4 years and we've seen many people come and go. Everyone always knew they were the best and they had such great gimmicks but the truth of the matter is..until you've done something major in this game...get back to me. Have your company stay open and active for a few years and come talk to me. Win a bunch of world titles without owning the place and get back to me. Cid Black, EM and Chris Thantos. You three guys are now three jokes of this business. I have lost all respect for you Chris. Your actions last night were uncalled for and won't be forgotten. I think you’re someone who has karma hitting him everywhere in your personal life and that should be a sign to you that maybe you're not that good of a person. Things happen for a reason, injury, sickness, death..yeah..you would know about those things right? Karma is a bitch. Don't take it personal though, just get used to it.[/i] Chris Thantos ~ I know he isn’t talking about me when he talks about doing something major because if I recall correctly and I know I do before I got hurt I held the UHWF World, TV and Tag Team titles … and I have never had anything to do with owning or working on staff. As a matter of fact to won the World title I beat Nick Kelly and Tomas Montgomery … to win the TV title I beat Tomas Montgomery and to win the tag team titles one of the guys I beat was Tomas Montgomery. How he can claim that I am a joke in this business is beyond me. There isn’t a man on his roster that can beat me. As for his company being open for 4 years … that is a fucking joke … Nick Kelly and I went to the UHWF to help his sorry ass out when he had a roster of 5. I can’t count the times when I was full time there that the card didn’t get done or was canceled due to no one showing up. He may have been open for 4 years but if he can honestly sit there and claim that those 4 years have not been as rocky as the XHCW’s first 2 then I will sit here and tell him he is full of shit.
The fact of the matter is anytime someone shows up in the XHCW with even a hint of talent he tries to get them to join the UHWF. That’s how all of this shit started. Right now, today he is saying that me, Cid and EM are the jokes of this business right? The day after Extreme Machine debut Jackson PM’d him asking him to join the UHWF … Ultimately Machine, Justin and Cid joined the UHWF and after being fucked around because they went there as a stable and they wanted to split them up they quit … now all of the sudden they are shit. I was inducted into the UHWF Hall of Fame this year .. a mere 2 months back … Just last month Steele was asking me to be part of the IWG PPV but I am a joke. When I first came back he talked about getting me back in the UHWF full time but I am a joke … Fuck you Steele … if I am a joke what does that make your company that I dominated my entire time there?
As for Karma … Yeah I know about injury, death so on and so forth but if you believe in Karma then what do you think is going to come back on you and your family with you being the prick you are? Whatever it is I hope it’s bad and I hope it affects your family and not you … so you can see what your actions are since you believe so much in Karma …Take that shit personal you piece of shit …because it is. Now before I jump off the topic of your sorry ass company with your lackluster roster I challenge anyone you got that is currently a part of the UHWF to any type of match. I will show these people that the only joke in this business is you.Larry King ~ Those are some strong words there Chris .. before we go do you have anything more to say about your match this week, the XHCW or the UHWF and it’s owner Jackson Steele?Chris Thantos ~ I think I have said all I have to say on those particular topics. Come Monday night I back my words up in the ring when I relieve Cid Black of his title it’s just that simple. The camera pans away from Thantos and zooms in on Larry.Larry King ~ We’d like to thank Chris Thantos for his time here tonight. When we return from commercial break we will sit down with a transvestite that claims to have had a on going affair with Jackson Steele and claims to have photo’s to prove it. All that and more when we return. With that said the camera pans out and the scene fades to commercial.[/size]

.::The Crying Game::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] The scene fades in with Ace Bradley standing alone in the ring at a jam packed XhCw house show in the home town of current XhCw World Tag Team Champion Chris Thantos. The camera pans Pittsburgh’s Mellon Arena to see the various signs made by the fans welcoming their hometown hero back. The camera then pans back to the ring just as Ace raises the mic to his lips.
Ace Bradley ~
Pittsburgh are you ready to see some of the greatest Pro Wrestling on god’s green earth?
The erupt in a chorus of cheers and Ace smile lowering the mic for a brief moment before raising it again.
Ace Bradley ~
Come on Pittsburgh, I said, “Are you ready?”
Once again the fans cheer this time however the cheer are almost deafening.
Ace Bradley ~
That’s more like it … Tonight we are going to kick things off interviewing a guy we know you love, a guy that makes fans around the world skip dates and quit jobs just to see him in the ring. I am talking about none other than one half of the XHCW World Tag Team champion’s and Pittsburgh native …”The Original Loose Cannon”[/i][/b] of Professional Wrestling …. CHRIS THANTOS … [/i][/b] The fans erupt once again climbing to their feet turning their attention to the entrance area as the lights fade to black then to a strobe effect red and GodSamck’s “Releasing The Demons” kicks up on the house sound system. The tron comes to life showing various video footage of Thantos finishing off opponents with his “Onward ~ Downward”, one of those finishes is Chris getting the pin on Kash for the Tag Team titles. The camera pans away from the ton and back on the entrance area just as Thantos burst through the curtain.
His Tag Team title can be seen draped over the left shoulder of his “Winter Classic” #71 Malkin Pittsburgh Penguins Jersey. Thantos begins to make his way to the ring while in the background the tron continues to run various Thantos video’s.Once at ringside Thantos climbs the ring steps and makes his way into the ring by stepping between the top and middle rope. Thantos makes his way over to Ace then stops in his tracks as he begins to look around at his adoring fans. Thantos adjusts his title keeping a firm hold on it with his left hand as the music fades and the lights return to normal.Ace Bradley ~ Chris, welcome …. I guess back home would be the best way to put it. I see you’re sporting the Jersey of your favorite Pittsburgh Penguin. How’s it feel to come back home as a Champion as your beloved Pittsburgh Penguins are well on their way to win one themselves?Thantos ~ A wide smile takes shape on Chris’s face and by the look in his eyes you can see that he is picturing the Penguins hoisting “Lord Stanley’s Cup” high in the area mere inches from where the ring is set up now. You know Ace it is great to be home … I had the opportunity to watch my Penguins crush Philly last night in game one, talked with some old friends, saw some family so on so forth. But that’s not why I am out here tonight. The smiles fades from Thantos’s face.Ace Bradley ~ I see, tell us Chris, why are you out here tonight!? Thantos looks Ace up and down his eyes saying what his lips don’t need to. Ace lowers the mic a bit before regaining his composure hiding the fear that started to build as Thantos glared at him.Thantos ~ I was getting to that before you asked a question that need not be asked …. You see this has been a very strange week here in the XHCW. We have had arguments between owners, management and wrestlers from two companies that are suppose to be affiliates. We’ve had people talking shit that they know will get their body in a world of hurt. They may not be willing to admit it aloud but when you look them in their beady little eyes or watch the way they carry themselves it tells the story.
It’s simple, there are two types of men here in the XHCW and no, it’s not what you’re thinking. Winning and losing has nothing to do with it as it these two groups are divided by how they handle winning and losing. On one side you have men like Justin Payne, Cid Black, Nick Kelly, Extreme Machine, Trax and Chris Thantos. The names I just mentioned are men that wrestle with honor … Their wins and losses are handled with the same dignity. Cid Black and Justin Payne were wads of cookie dough when I first met them. Sloppy as hell in the ring and green as green gets but when they lost they took that loss as a learning experience.
They looked at it as a mistake that will not be repeated. Rather than taking on the Southern Mix’s and other no name talent they hit the XHCW with a plan to take on the best no matter the cost. For everything I have said about Cid Black, and all the trash I have talked about beating Cid Black … one thing you have never heard me say is I have no respect for him because that just wouldn’t be true. I respect the fact that he is willing to step into the ring with me, a man he knows has the experience and ability to embarrass him in front of the thousands of fans in attendance and the millions around the world but he doesn’t care.
We have made this match about a belt on paper … which is fine, it’s always fun to win another title but the fact is that title doesn’t mean shit to me. I already have a title. Thantos takes his tag team title belt from his shoulder and tosses it to the mat. That title means even less in this match. What matter is a win for Cid Black would catapult him from the mid card to the main event in the blink of an eye. Cid knows this as well as I and I respect that. Cid has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Sure he would lose his title but look at who he is facing.
He can say what he wants about me on the mic but I know in his heart he knows that Chris Thantos is a bad mother fucker who will put your lights out. The truth is and I say this with the utmost respect for Cid, Justin …Extreme Machine and anyone else this may offend. Thantos pauses for a moment looking directly into the camera. I along with Nick Kelly, Kash and to a certain extent Trax are on a whole other level than you three. Believe it or not I could care less but everyone else knows it’s true. We are the top of the mountain and you 3 are at base camp.
Now anyone that knows me know that what I just said is a great compliment. Your time will come Cid, in time you will be able to stand toe to toe with anyone in the XHCW for any title and walk away the man …. Unfortunately, for you … that time is not now. People can joke all day long about me, Nick and Kash … they can joke about us needing to retire, being washed up and being out of our minds for sticking around but the fact is everyone that has made those claims have fallen at the hands of one of us. Cid you don’t need Justin to win matches … You can do it on your own, just not right now. Justin Payne and Extreme Machine are about to tear one another apart this Monday night and it should be a great match and the winner of that match will climb one more ring toward the top.
Trax, well Trax will show us why he, not Ronnie McNeil deserves to be in Bloodbath which brings me to the other type of people in this company. If you remember back I said it has nothing to do with winning or losing but more so with how you handle the two. And guys like Ronnie McNeil, Boxer, Fred X, Jay Swift, Andrew King and Jackson Steele fall under that other category … Guy’s who by into their own hype. Guys that think they should be headlining and in the main event every Genocide and every PPV. The problem is who the fuck have these guys ever beat? All I hear from these men is a bunch of bitching and complaining about how they got screwed out of this and should be holding this title or should be in this match. Please girls … shut the fuck up and earn it. Ronnie McNeil felt that he could get by on past accomplishment alone and when he was booked to face a real wrestler in Trax what did he do? He went to the boss claiming that he was being set up to fail,
He whined and complained about being in the ring with a man that just a few weeks back was the world champion? Are you fucking kidding me? Cid Black or any of our young talent would kill to have that match. Why? Because a win against Trax is like a win over Chris Thantos. But Ronnie was too damn dumb to figure that out and decided that this will be his last match here in the XHCW. Look at Boxer and Fred X … TALKING ABOUT BEING SCREWED OUT F TITLES? Come the fuck on girls .... Look at your stable mates! You have the opportunity to be the next BloodBath, dare I say the next X but you’re worried about losing one match for one title?
Do you girls honestly thing you will never get another title match? Shut the fuck up and Wrestle … Shut the Fuck up and follow the lead of Justin and Cid. I hate both of those fuckers but there is no denying what they have accomplished. Title matches will come, title reins will come … You people are right in and that Nick and I can’t stick around forever. I am pushing 30 and Nick is over 30 but in wrestling years that’s like being 50 because we don’t half ass it, every night in every town we give the fans everything we have. Try earning some respect before crying like a couple of girls.
Which bring me to you Reaper … you retire one week and the next you come out and challenge Chris Thantos because I said, “That I could beat anyone on the UHWF roster!” You know why that offended you so much? Because it’s true Reaper. You weren’t shit when you were here and you’re not shit now. Stay retired jr, stay in the XHCW where winning a world title is like winning a 50/50 pick. You were just above a jobber here and a champ in the UHWF … YOU DO THE MATH. So to be blunt … I have a real opponent to worry about this week in Cid Black. He may not be able to beat me and proving it to him is going to be the most painful lesion he has ever had to learn but at least Cid doesn’t have to leave the XHCW to be taken seriously … At least Cid is in the main event because he earned it and not because of the lack of real competitors in the UHWF.
You see Cid, I have not forgotten about you … I know exactly what I need to do to beat you. I know your going to bring you’re a game, but that A game just isn’t enough to get a win over Chris Thantos … Don’t take it Personal … Just get use to it. Thantos drops the mic and the scene fades as he makes his way out of the ring.[/size]

.::Am I seeing a Ghost::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] The scene fades in with Thantos in a “blue room” ready to reply to Reaper’s mindless yammering about wanting to get Thantos in the ring. The camera are ready and the director gives Thantos his Q as the background of the blue room fades to an all black setting with a single tombstone in the center which reads “Reaper”
Thantos ~
Well I’ll be damned … am I seeing a ghost or did Reaper just cut a promo answering the challenge I laid out to anyone in the UHWF?! Is this a fucking joke? Has Steele really sent this no name no ability non charismatic piece of shit after pro wrestling’s one and only true "Loose Cannon?"[/i][/b] Steele you should know better than that. What have Reaper ever done? Who has he ever beat …. No one. Sure he’s held a title or two but he’s not just challenging Joe fuck nuts … I have more titles than this boy has wins … hell I have more world title reins than this boy has wins and he brings his ass to my ring, my company, in front of my fans and spews his resume for all to hear expecting it to get a rise out of me? Go fuck yourself jr …. I have bigger things to worry about than a man who’s stable realized that he was nothing more than a mid card job boy. Your pisses at Kash for dumping you but if you would open your eyes you would see that the only person to blame for the betrayal is none other than YOU! Earlier I asked you who you have beat … but a better question would be who have you beaten lately? My distain and lack of respect for the wanna b’ and fakes in the UHWF is well documented so if you think your going to impress me with you less than impressive career in that shit hole think again.
I mean you lost your World title to Jay Swift … Jay “I can’t beat anyone in the XHCW so I am taking my ball to the UHWF” Swift and you think you have what it takes to beat a true champion, a true competitor and the man that single handedly took down every champion including the World tag team champion by himself? Check the record books bitch … I held every title in the UHWF at one time …. I beat Tomas Montgomery and Fa Show for the tag straps by myself ….. No partner needed. So do me, the UHWF and yourself a favor … go back to Steele, tell him that Chris Thantos says that if your going to send someone t defend the honor of the UHWF at least send someone worth beating. Because to be perfectly honest .. beating you is like beating Corky from life goes on … Yeah I won the match but I still beat up a retard. Not only are you beneath me but your not even in the same league as me. If we were to list the top wrestlers in the XHCW you would come in somewhere between Akira the nobody and Southern Mix. So call it what you will, tell people that Chris Thantos is afraid of you, afraid of losing to a uhwf “superstar” tell what ever version of the story you want because I know the truth …. You’re not worth my time. Don’t take it personal … Just get use to it.[/size]

.::Cart Before The Horse::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] The scene fades in with Chris Thantos standing in the BloodBath locker room watching the 56” LCD TV mounted on the wall. The camera pans the room to see that Thantos is all alone for a change then zooms in on the TV to see Boxer speaking his mind on his win over Kash as well as his thought on his match withPro Wrestling Original Loose Cannon[/i][/u] Chris Thantos. Chris smiles as Boxer continue to speak and as the promo comes to an end Thantos claps his hands several times. Judging by the pace of the claps it could be an applause littered with sarcasm but the look on his face tells another story. Thantos reaches for the bag at his feet and fishes around inside for a moment. At first it looks as if he is uncertain of what he is looking for but when he withdraws his hand holding his iPhone everything becomes clear. Thantos scrolls through his contacts list for a moment as the camera zooms in. Thantos stops on the nameAce Bradley[/i][/u] then hits send before bringing the phone to his ear.Thantos ~Ace it’s Chris, I was wondering if you were at the arena? Well I figured you always show up early the day of a house show. Right, well I have a strange request, well perhaps request is not the right word to use but rather I have a strange demand. .::Mumbling can be heard coming from his phone as Thantos shakes his head as if he wished he could reach through the phone and strangle the young announcer::. Just shut up and listen! You’re always begging me for interview time so here’s your chance. …. I want you to meet me in the ring with a camera crew in 10 minutes. .::Ace must have began speaking again as Thantos falls silent rolling his eyes::. Jackass … yes I’m aware that the arena is empty and yes I know the show doesn’t start for another 5 hours. That’s exactly why I want to do this now. No, you can ask me anything you want … No Ace I’m not going to punch you in the head like Machine did that other announcer. Well Ace you have to look at it from Machines point of view, I needed a mic and that bitch wouldn’t give it up so Machine did what he had to do but trust me your safe. Ok, thank you …. I’ll see you in 10.Thantos ends the calls and puts his phone back in his bag then withdraws not one but both of his title belts. The camera zooms in on the shinny gold surfaces focusing on the name plates. .::Tag Team Champion::.[/i][/u] on the top plate and .::Chris Thantos::. [/i][/u] on the bottom. The other read .::Euro-continental Champion::.[/i][/u] on top and once again.::Chris Thantos::. [/i][/u] on the bottom. Thantos straps the Tag Team title around his waist and drapes the Euro-continental belt over his left shoulder. As he makes his way to the door Thantos pauses and looks himself up and down in the full size mirror hanging by the door and smiles. Thantos then with his left hand feels around his left eye which is black and blue and the white of his eye has a bit of blood in it. A bruise he no doubt received during his war with Cid Balck. Thantos shrugs then turns away from the mirror and heads for the door as the scene fades. ***************FLASH*************** [/b][/i][/size][/color] The scene re-opens with Ace Bradley standing alone in the ring looking out on the empty arena nervously tapping his left foot on the mat. Ace checks his watch when suddenly Thantos appears atop the ramp and begins to make his way to the ring. The camera zooms in on Ace as he makes a comment to nobody, At least he didn’t come down to his entrance music and pyro”The camera pans back t Thantos just as he reaches the ringside area and enters the ring via the rings steps.Thantos ~ What’s up Ace … I bet you thought I was going to come out to my entrance music with pyro and the whole nine yards?!Ace ~What .. me, no I didn’t think you were that egotistical. Thantos glares at Ace as if he heard Ace saying it. Ace lowers his head not so much in shame but to keep from blushing as he knows Thantos caught his lie Ok, maybe I did but you have to admit and empty arena interview when in just a few ours this place is going to be packed is kind of strange don’t you think?Thantos ~ Perhaps Ace …. However if you saw Boxers most recent promo. .::Ace nods giving the indication that he had::. I’ll take that nod as a yes, and as I was saying if you caught Boxers latest interview he said he wanted me in the ring. No talk shows or any of that shit but me telling it like it is in the ring so here we are.Ace ~ .::Looking a bit confused::. Ok, I get that but again, why not wait till the fans are here. Don’t you think your promo will be more effective with a packed crowd to react to what you have to say and not to mention so you can show off your new title?!.::Ace points at the title hanging from Thantos’s left shoulder::.Thantos ~ Perhaps, but then again I have never need the fans reaction to prove my point before … it’s not like they make what I have to say more effective. It’s not like someone in the crowd is going to climb over the barrio and get in my face telling me how wrong I am, or to tell me that Boxer is full of shit. Anyway there is a reason I wanted to do this in an empty arena.Ace ~ Oh yeah … what’s that?Thantos ~.::Glaring at Ace for asking a question he knew was going to be answered::. The fact is I thought I would show Boxer what an arena looked like when Jay Swift was the main attraction since he talked so highly of his win over him.Ace ~ Are you implying that Jay Swift wasn’t a draw when he was champion?Thantos ~ Implying? No, to imply would mean “to make something understood without expressing it directly!” I am flat out telling you Jay Swift was nothing. He never beat anyone and the fact that he held onto that X title for as long as he did was nothing more than a fluke which was proved the day he lost it Boxer. I won’t take anything away from the Boxer that I will step into the ring with this week but the boxer that beat Jay Swift was far from good. As a matter of fact and I don’t believe he will dispute this he was very mediocre at that time. But like all the other XHCW rookies he has stepped up his game 100%.Ace ~ I will agree that the Boxer that took on Kash last week is not the same Boxer that signed with the XHCW back on January 18th 2008. He has improved greatly since that time. What do you contribute his new found success to? Rather, in your opinion what do you think has put him in the position he’s in?Thantos ~.:: Thantos ponders the question for a moment rubbing his chin::. A lot of things Ace, I mean the kids work ethic is top notch. I mean he wants it. Some people come to the XHCW demanding title shots, or walk around like their the best around because they came from some bull shit indy company where they were the top dog not know that the XHCW is on a whole other level than those other companies. Or they come in with a sense of entitlement because they signed on with the company and because of the catering they received prior to signing their deal they think they are “THAT IMPORTANT” but their not. Guys like Reaper and this new cat names Sterling Bob or what ever the fuck his name is. They walk around with this big fucking chip on their shoulders and as soon as they run into a Nick Kelly, Chris Thantos, Kash or any number of new guys that have stepped up they realize fast that for as good as they were in that no name indy fed they need to be that much better to even win a match here in the XHCW let alone become a champion.
Boxer wasn’t like that, sure he beat a hack for his Extreme title but that isn’t his fault. That’s one thing I respect about the man, he worked to get where he is at. At times he can be a bit of a whiner when things don’t go his way but like I said he worked hard and hard work is rewarded.Ace ~ Boxer made a comment about receiving this title match for beating Kash and in a perfect world that may be the case but from what I understand Boxer wasn’t the man you were suppose to defend against this week is he..::Thantos’s smile fades as if this question or topic was something he didn’t want to discuss::.Thantos ~You know Ace … .::Thantos looks up and mouths fuck then shakes his head as if he really didn’t want to answer the question::. I really didn’t want to bring that up Ace .. I mean seriously how do you think Boxer is going to feel knowing that Damien Kane wanted me to defend against Fred X rather than him. Ace lowers the mic just a bit looking remorseful then clears his throat before continuing.Ace ~ I would think Boxer would be elated to find out that you had that much respect for him … I mean you went to bat for him, you told Damien he deserved it more …[/color .::Not sounding very confident::.Didn’t you?
Thantos ~
No … no I didn’t tell Damien Boxer deserved it more. The fact is even Boxer admitted that he beat Kash when Kash wasn’t at his best. The way I saw it was Fred X already has a title shot coming to him. I just beat Cid, Justin Payne, Kash and Reaper had full dance cards so Boxer was the logical choice. He got this match do to the process of elimination. Don’t get me wrong, I respect him and I think that one day he may be great but right now he just isn’t ready. I know he is calling himself the legend killer and compares himself to one “Randy Orton” …but let me ask you, does winning 1 match against 1 legend make you a legend killer or does it just make you lucky?
Ace ~
I have to agree with you there Chris, beating Kash one time doesn’t exactly put you in the hall of fame but what if he beats you, what does it mean if he is able to take that newly won Euro-continental title away from you?
Thantos ~
.::Thantos smiles::. I’m no rocket scientist Ace but I think that means he is the new Euro-Continental champion and nothing more.
Ace ~
.::Interrupting Chris::. But wouldn’t that solidify his claim of being a legend killer?
Thantos ~
No, as a matter of fact hell no, anyone can beat anyone on any given night. No one thought that GRANT Discharge could take out Andrew King but he did. Just because I don’t believe that Boxer is main event, just because I don’t believe that boxer is on my level doesn’t mean he can’t pull off a victory. My only hope is if he does happen to pull of a win, if he does happen to pin my shoulders to the mat it’s not because of interference at the hands of Revolution X. I mean I took the title from Cid Black, I took a TV title from Justin Payne and just because it appears that the war between us is over doesn’t mean that Cid, being the hot head that he is isn’t willing to take a cheap shot at me costing me my belt.
Ace ~
What about BloodBath? They have been taking people out left and right. First Jay Swift, then Ronnie McNeil. What’s to stop them from making Boxer their next victim?
Thantos ~
Respect, bottom line it’s respect. Think back, how many matches have I won due to BloodBath interference? Not many and if BloodBath did interfere to get me a win it hasn’t been since my latest return. I don’t need my stable to win matches for me and I have enough respect for Boxer not to do that to him. He may not have been the first choice of opponents for me but that doesn’t change the fact that this kid has an opportunity to do something great. If he beats me I will do the same thing Cid Black did … I will hand him the title and shake his hand. If he can beat me fair and square he will have done something that only 1 other person has been able to do in the last 3 years and that beat Chris Thantos …. And if he does that he won’t be beating a legend, he’ll be beating a fucking icon.
Ace ~
Fair enough, but what about his claims that it’s not if he wins this match but more so when he wins this match..::Thantos puts his hand out to silence Ace::.
Thantos ~
You see that’s the part that I don’t understand?! He’s putting the cart before the horse. I mean how can he talk about losing a title he hasn’t even won, a title which he has little to no chance of winning? It makes no sense and correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he slam Kash for taking him lightly? Yet he has the nerve to act as if my title is already around his waist? I expected more from a man that recognized he won a match due to his opponent’s oversights …. Well I won’t be making the same mistake, I guarantee you this Boxer … This will be the toughest match of your short career … Everything about this match will be more in more intense than anything you have ever experienced and when I hit you with my Onward~Downward …. Folding your neck like an accordion no loss will effect you the ay this one does. Don’t Take it Personal, Just get use to it.
.::Without another word Thantos turns and exits the ring and the camera follows him all the way up the ramp then fades to black::.[/size]

.::It doesn’t mean what you think it does!::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .::The scene fades in with Chris Thantos, Trax and Extreme Machine kicking back in the Blood-Bath locker room. Each man has his drink of choice either in hand or within reach. Thantos with a glass of Scotch on the rocks, Machine with a Jack and Coke and Trax with a glass of his favorite beer. Judging by the expression on each mans face the conversation the camera man happened upon was far from serious. Trax empties the contents of his glass then makes his way over to the bar area and pours himself another then looks in the direction of his stable mates::.
Trax ~
Anyone else need a refill? .:: Both Thantos and Machine wave Trax off and Trax makes his way back over to the table and sits down::. Looks like another tough week for Blood-Bath.
.::As Thantos takes a sip from his glass he looks over the rim giving Trax a peculiar look then lowers his glass. Trax tilts his head to the side a bit looking at Thantos with a look that clearly shows Trax is wondering what he said to get such a strange look from Chris::.
Thantos ~
Every week is a tough week for Blood-Bath. Why would you expect anything less? When your on top, when you’re the absolute best there is everyone wants to knock you off the top of the mountain. Make no mistake .. being a member of Blood-Bath can paint a larger target on you than holding the XHCW World title. Not just by people here in the XHCW but by anyone who laces up a pair of boots and think they have some talent. I mean think about it … really think about it …. I have Reaper returning from what I thought was his grave to challenge me because I said I could beat anyone on the UHWF roster. Akira and Mohamed made their way here to take on Blood-Bath because we have never lost a match as a tag team. Beating a member of Blood-Bath means more than you know.
.:: Trax takes a sip from his glass and just as he is about to speak Machine steps in::.
Machine ~
Damn Chris, I think he was just making casual conversation … .::Trax nods in agreement::. We know what it mean to be a member of Blood-Bath, we know that people come after us because beating a member of Blood-Bath mean that you are to be taken serious. That’s why we wanted to join in the first place. People may not be coming from all over the world to call Trax and myself out yet but they will, in time they will know that Trax and I were chosen for a reason.
Trax ~
Exactly … sure I was the XHCW World Champion but look at you, you have never even won that title and people regard you as arguably one of the best if not the best wrestler in XHCW history. I wasn’t trying to down play what it means to be a member of this team …. And I assure you, when Monday Night Genocide is over I will be holding the World title once again bringing it back where it belongs.
.::Thantos smiles then drains the contents of his glass::.
Thantos ~
I know you didn’t mean anything by it man and I know that you will bring that title back home. I have no doubt that you will show Nic Leone why Trax is not a man to be fucked with. I’m just a little edgy this week that’s all.
.::Machine turns his attention to Chris and this time he is the one looking at Chris in wonder::.
Machine ~
Your not telling me that Boxer is getting to you? … Are you?
.::Thantos bursts out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever told::.
Thantos ~
Are you fucking kidding? Boxer? Getting to me? Hell no man I don’t sweat Boxer. Like I said the other night, “He has improved and one day he may be great but he is far from ready to be the man to hand Chris Thantos a loss … His first loss in I don’t know how long. How can I take Boxer serious when he can’t even come up with an original place to cut a promo? An empty ally … that’s what he comes back with after I did an empty arena interview?
Trax ~
I thought that was a bit strange as well. I don’t think he got the meaning behind it. I don’t think he understood that you were mocking Jay Swift and Boxer at the same time.
Machine ~
How the hell did he not see that you were poking fun at his request for you to stay away from talk shows and to stay away from doing your column but to do in ring interviews? Like it matters where you cut your promos? You make him look like an amateur on the mic and Come Monday night I know you will make him look like an amateur in the ring after you successfully defend your Euro-Continental title.
Thantos ~
On the mic yes, but in the ring … not so much. Boxer is far from an Amateur in the ring. I would even go as far as to say that he has the brightest future of anyone in Revolution X. I mean I will take nothing away from Cid because he gave me one hell of a fight but I think he is cracking up. I honestly believe that the pressure is getting to him and that’s sad because he has talent.
Machine ~
Maybe, but speaking of pressure … If it isn’t Boxer that has you on edge what is it? .::Thantos ponders the question for a moment as Trax and Machine exchange looks::. I mean if you don’t mind me asking?
Thantos ~
Naa .. it’s cool, you two are like brothers to me. .::Thantos falls silent again looking down at his empty glass::. It’s just that no matter what in less than a month my career will be over and it’s not that I’m regretting it because if that were the case I could sign a new contract tomorrow. But when I hear people talking about it like I’m already gone it pisses me off. People think that because I am retiring that I am going to coast through my remaining matches, they think that what people like Cid, Justin and damn near everyone else on the roster have been saying about me being washed up, past my prime and too old to compete might be true. The problem is this retirement doesn’t mean what people think it means. I am not leaving because I can’t go anymore … I’m leaving so that I don’t turn into one of those broken down guys that can’t even get out of bed in the morning without taking a pill.
.::Trax speaks up interrupting Thantos::.
Trax ~
Bro you don’t owe anyone an explanation as to why you’re calling it quits. Half the people that are talking this bull shit would give their right arm to accomplish half of what you have. Don’t let that shit get to you.
Machine ~
Trax is right man, your walking out on your own terms and don’t need to be concerned with anything but winning your match on Monday night.
Thantos ~
Yeah, I don’t know why that shit got to me … I think it’s just that I am ready to leave and other people aren’t and they will do anything to get me to stay. Some so they can get a shot at me. Management wants me to stay so they can continue to get rich off my hard work but most of all when I leave I don’t want that to mean the end of Blood-Bath. Anyway I don’t want to talk about this shit anymore. Like you said Machine I need only concern myself with beating Boxer and keeping my title. Cause if come Monday night I am the only one without a title I am going to be pissed off. Ya know … then I would have to walk around feeling like Trax does all the time..::Thantos laugh as does the other two Blood=Bath members::.
Trax ~
Fuck you man … that shit’s not funny besides win lose or draw you will still be a tag team champion but that’s a given considering their isn’t a team on this or any other roster that can take down you and Nick.
Thantos ~
Where the hell is Nick I haven’t seen him in hours?
Machine ~
.::Looking around as if he were hiding something::. Ummm … I’m not sure man last I knew he was going to cut a promo then do some shopping for the new locker room.
Thantos ~
Cutting a promo then doing some shopping? .::Thantos looks at Machine knowing he isn’t telling him everything::. That mother fucker better not be using my card again..::Machine continues to look everywhere but at Thantos::. He is isn’t he … that bastard swiped my card again?
.::Machine nods and Thantos pounds his fist down on the table then pulls his wallet from his pocket and begins to go through the contents as the scene fades to black.

.::Between These Ropes is Where my Minds at!::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .::The scene fades in with Chris Thantos walking around backstage at an XHCW house show. The camera pans in to see a stern look on his face and both his title belts where they belong. His Tag Team title around his waist and his Euro-Continental title hung over his left shoulder. Just as he rounds the corner heading toward the entrance to the ramp Thantos spots Cid Black standing by the catering table. Thantos looks over at Cid and just as he is about to look away Cid notices Thantos standing there and calls him over. Thantos starts to make his way over to Cid then stops and looks around perhaps wondering if Cid is setting him up for an attack. Noticing Thantos’s hesitation Cid makes his way over to Chris and extends his hand. Thantos returns the gesture and shakes Cid’s hand::.
Cid ~
How you doing Father Time ...::Thantos smiles as Cid chuckles just a bit::.
Thantos ~
I’m doing alright man, how you like the new whip I bought you. I figured I owed it to you … you know for blowing up that ugly ass Eclipse you rolled around in.
Cid ~
If it was so ugly why you by me the same color mother fucker …
Thantos ~
Cause I figure you’d find me and crack me with a chair or something for buying you the wrong color.
Cid ~
.::Laughing a bit::. Naa… your getting to old to be hitting with chairs and shit. … But anyway, thanks for the car man. You didn’t have to do that shit.
Thantos ~
I know … and you didn’t have to accept it either.
Cid ~
Yeah well .. I didn’t want to hurt your feelings .. and speaking of hurting someone’s feelings, what’s this shit I heard you say the other night about me attacking you from behind costing you that title you took from me.
Thantos ~
You’ve attacked me several times when my back was turned man what makes my match with your stable mate any different? I mean wouldn’t you rather have the title you created around the waist of Boxer rather than the waist of the man that took it from you.
.::Cid shakes his head as the smile fades from his face::.
Cid ~
Not like that … you beat me fair and square. We gave each other everything we had and you came out on top. No tricks, no attacks just you and me. Yeah Boxer is my boy and I would like to see that title back with Revolution X but he’s going to have to beat you the way you beat me. That night you were the better man but don’t get cocky Father Time .. because after I take out Walter I just might have to come and take my title back … if you still have it that is.
Thantos ~
.:: Both men smile briefly as Thantos looks down at his Ero-Continental title then back up at Cid::. Anytime Jr because you and I both know that next week you and Boxer will be able to compare notes on what it feels like to be hit with the most devastating move in the XHCW … my
Cid ~
.::Cid interrupts him before he can finish::. Your Onward~Downward … That shit hurts but you know that my Black~Out is where it’s at..::Thantos nods letting Cid know he remembers what it felt like to be hit with it::. Anyway man I have some business to attend to good luck this week.
Thantos ~
Same to you man … I gotta bounce to .. .
.::The two men shake hands again and Cid heads off in the direction he came from. Thantos shakes his head but smiles before making his way to the gorilla position. The camera then fades from Thantos and fades back in on the jam packed crowd just as the lights fade to black then to a strobe effect red as Releasing the Demons by GodSmack kicks up. The fans give a mixed reaction as Thantos makes his way through the curtain. Looking left then right out into the sea of people Thantos starts off again heading toward the ring. He wastes no time getting down the ramp and climbing into the ring. As the lights return to normal and the music fades away Thantos holds his Euro-Continental title over his head for all to see then lays it at his feet. The ring announce makes his way up the steps at ringside and passes Thantos a mic and just as he raises it to his lips all but a few fans fall silent::.
Thantos ~
Just a few minutes ago I found myself having a civil conversation with a man I never thought I would be able to stand face to face with without wanting to break every bone in his body. But there we stood shaking hands like men because for well over two months we took turns beating the ever living hell out of one another and when all was said and done I walked out with that..::Thantos points to the Euro=Continental title laying at his feet::. Which was important … but Cid and I walked out of that match with a whole lot more … Mutual respect … For months Cid talked about how I was washed up and too old to go … and for months I told the world that Cid Black was over rated and didn’t stand a chance in hell at beating me. And he didn’t … beat me[/u] but he could have … and he is far from over rated. Why am I telling you this? Why am I contradicting myself? Why am standing in a ring telling you people the exact opposite of what I said not one week ago? Because I was wrong … maybe not at first?! When I first met Cid in the ring he was over rated …. And he was out matched but he upped his game and is now a legitimate threat to any man in this company and after I beat Boxer this weak retaining the title that Cid created I am more than willing to give him another shot if he wants it …. All you have to do is call me Cid and we’ll get the match booked.[/color] .::Thantos pauses as the crowd claps showing their admiration for the things that Thantos just said about his biggest rival since his return to the ring::.Thantos ~ But enough about Cid and the respect I have for him … because another up and comer wants to know why I haven’t said much about him lately. Boxer wanted to know why I didn’t give much of a response to the promo he cut the other night..::Thantos shrugs::. The fact is I didn’t comment on it because unlike you I don’t feel the need to paraphrase everything you say about me. Maybe you need your words repeated back to you but don’t. Nothing in that interview was important enough to talk about. So why rehash it?.:: Thantos rubs his chin then turns and stares directly into the camera::.Thantos ~ However … you did say something earlier today that grabbed my attention and I am only going to tell you this one time … never, under any circumstances are you to refer to me as soft. There is a big difference between being soft and having a heart to heart with your family about something that is going to impact them as much as it impacts you. And that’s exactly what Blood-Bath is …. Unlike you and Fred we care about more than wins and loses, and who’s holding what titles … what effects one of us effects all of us because that’s the way a family is. You look at it as soft if you want to but if you ever refer to me as soft again I will come find you where ever you are and break my foot off in your ass.
You’re a confused little man and maybe that is making you say shit that you wouldn’t normally say because if you ask me it’s you that needs to get your head in the game. It’s you that needs to stop looking past me and the title your stable mate created and it’s you that needs to be taught a lesion in respect. In 3 days you are going to step in the ring with a man that you yourself refer to as a legend and all you can talk about is getting closer to the world title. You haven’t even won this title yet and you’re already looking past it at the bigger prize. You think I give a fuck about Nic Leone or his title for that matter? Right now all I care about is dropping you on your head, getting the 1,2,3 and moving on to my next victim. You, all you care about are titles because you think they mean something. You think those shinny little gold belts mean that you’re the best.
You worship them like their the end all be all of this sport. If that is true and being a champion makes you the best then why doesn’t Nick Kelly have a title? Sure we have the Tag straps but that’s a given because there is no tag team division here in the XHCW. Nick hasn’t held a title in Months and up until last week neither had I. Does that mean that you, Justin, Nic or Cid are better than us. Did the fact that you kids had titles and we didn’t make you the best? Hell no it didn’t … All those title reins mean is Nick and I didn’t want them. Anytime someone in this company holds a title it’s because Nick and I don’t feel like holding them. You think I’m wrong? You think I’m bull shitting do some research …. Never have I gone after a title and not won it unless the guy I was facing was named Nick Kelly … Never has Nick Kelly gone after a title and not won it unless the guy he was facing was named Chris Thantos.
Your not even on Leone’s radar yet your all over his nuts … Your not even close to being the number one contender and all you can talk about is his world title but let me ask you Boxer …. What means more in this company right now …. Beating Chris Thantos or winning a World title that is passed around like a magazine? That title has no meaning right now but all you can think about is getting one step closerto it … Well I am sorry to inform you but I am no ones stepping stone and I never have been. I have never cared about that belt and that’s why I have never gone after it. Maybe it’s because I know I can win it anytime that I want or maybe because I never needed it to feel like I accomplished something. The path of destruction I have laid while in the XHCW has always been enough for me and these Thantos removes his tag title from his waste and drops it down at his feel with the Euro-Continental title::. there just props made for guys like you so you can feel important. Don’t Take it Personal … Just Get Use to it ...::With that said Thantos drops the mic and exits the ring leaving his Euro-Continental title behind.[/size]

.::Same shit different opponent!::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .::The scene fades in with Chris Thantos and “All Natural” Nick Kelly watching the 56” flat panel TV mounted perfectly on the wall of the Blood-Bath locker room just as The Flyers, Pens game 4 Eastern Conference game comes to an end with Philly finally getting the 4 -2 lead. Chris stands up and takes off his #71 Winter Classic Malkin jersey then hangs it up with the rest of his Penguins Jerseys leaving him wearing a white wife beater. The camera zooms in on his chiseled frame which is covered with various tattoo’s::.
Thantos ~
Well you have to give it to the Flyers .. they were down 3 games to none and came to play tonight. A loss is a loss but like the Rangers before them won game 4 only to come back to Pittsburgh and have their asses handed to them which makes it all the more sweeter winning the final game at home and advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 92.
Nick ~
Yeah, the uneducated hockey fans will think that the Flyers have a chance to come back but I don’t see if happening. The Flyers got 3 goals early and then they shut down and played not to lose rather than playing to win. I think it’s safe to say that come Sunday night Detroit and Pittsburgh will end all the speculation.
Thantos ~
Without a doubt … You think we’ll have time to catch the game then head to Chicago in the morning for Genocide? I mean a one way ticket from the Burg to Chicago is cheap as hell.
Nick ~
3 steps ahead of you dude … Our flight is already booked and we have seats center ice 10 rows up behind the sin bin.
Thantos ~
Sweet .. How’d you pull that off the tickets for game 5 aren’t even on sale yet?
.:: Kelly smiles as he pulls the game tickets and boarding passes from the bag laying at his feet::.
Nick ~
I’m Nick Kelly man … You know I have connections all over the place … besides what kind of brother would I be if I didn’t plan something like this for my little brothers Birthday?
.::Thantos snatches the game tickets from Kelly’s and looks them over with a almost child like smile on his face::.
Thantos ~
I’ve got to hand it to you man, I figured we wouldn’t be able to watch the game let alone attend it due to Greg wanting all talent booked for Genocide in Chicago the night before.
Nick ~
I talked to Greg and he was very accommodating … Besides this is a nationally televised game and having the two biggest stars in the history of the XHCW on tv for all to see without having to pay advertising costs is good thing for the company. We are definitely growing at an astounding rate and although we are the most watched wrestling program on TV right now and free press is good press. All we have to do is sign a few autographs, take some pictures with the players and do an interview between the 2nd and 3rd period.
Thantos ~
.::Thantos sots in silence for a moment still looking at the tickets but obviously thinking about something else::. You know, now that I think about it this may be the perfect opportunity to bring up the UWA and the XHCW’s new training program. We can give people the 411 on Monday Night Genocide and maybe even plug the PPV.
Nick ~
I think that is exactly what Greg had in mind but let’s not forget …...::Nick pauses for a moment as something being said o the TV which can be heard in the background catches his attention. Both man make there way over to the TV just as the camera pans in to see Boxer standing on the roof top of the arena cutting his latest promo for his match with Chris::. Not this guys again … if I have to listen to one more rant from this un-original bitch I think I’m going to puke.
Thantos ~
Where’s the remote, I want to see what glory boy has to say this time.
Nick ~
.::Nick grabs the remote and turns up the volume just a bit::. Why do you insist on torturing me? This guy makes Jay Swift sound like a profession public speaker ..
Thantos ~
I know but I want to see what contradictions he throws my way this time. Making this guy eat his words is like playing tic tac toe by yourself.
.::Kelly laughs as Thantos sits in silence and watches on as Boxer does exactly what Chris predicted as one moment Boxer talks about how important a win over Chris Thantos is in one breath then in another calls him washed up and old. The interview continues with the same old boring overtones about the World title and its importance as Boxer goes on to list several men that won the title only to lose it during their first defense. Although he makes reference to Nick Kelly and Franchise Killer whoa re the only credible champions on the list the expression on the faces of both Chris and Nick pretty much tell the story of how un-impressed they are with Boxer’s limited mic skills and uncanny ability to make himself sound like a complete jackass by talking about retiring a man that announced his retirement prior to his match with Thantos being announced. The interview comes to a close Kelly and Thantos both shake their heads in complete befuddlement as Boxer finishes up by questioning the cockiness of a man that has accomplished what Chris Thantos has in his career::.
Nick ~
.::Still looking confused::. a retard …
Thantos ~
.::Chuckling just a bit::.
Nick ~
Boxer …
Thantos ~
What about him? …
Nick ~
He has to be a retard, or at least a little bit slow.
Thantos ~
Actually I think he prefers the term intellectually challenged!
Nick ~
Yeah no shit! I have not seen a guy flip-flop in and interview like that since George Bush’s last debate. He needs to make up his fucking mind …. Are you washed up or are you a legend?
Thantos ~
Beats the hell out of me … see what I have been dealing with all week? I mean let’s look at what he said for just a moment …
.::Kelly slaps himself on the forehead with the palm of his hand.::.
Nick ~
Do we have too? This guy makes my head hurt ….:: Chris looks at Nick and smiles knowing that Nick would rather have his tongue cut out than talk about someone he has no respect for::. Fine …. But if I have to listen to go on and on about this douche then you have to watch Akira’s latest promo and there will be none of this I’m going to the bathroom shit then sneaking out the back ..
Thantos ~
Deal … but I only made you sit through on of his promo’s so I expect the same ….::Thantos laughs knowing full well how much this is bugging Nick but Nick agrees and Thantos continues where he left off::. Now I know you heard the same whit I did but I just want to make sure I wasn’t hearing things … did that moron just say that Nic Leone could beat my ass …
Nick ~
Yeah … I think that is pretty much what he was saying ..
Thantos ~
Would that be the same Nic Leone that I’ve smacked around since the beginning of his career in the N.I.W.F.? The same Nic Leone I beat for not one, not two but 3 title in the N.I.W.F alone? The same Nic Leone that not 1 month ago we slapped around and beat along with his partner Tejada to advance in the tag team tournament?
Nick ~
Yep … the same guy …
Thantos ~
So I guess were talking about the same Nic Leone that has never beaten Chris Thantos and the same Nic Leone that Boxer has faced 4 times since February and failed to walk away with a victory each time?
Nick ~
Yes, Yes and yes … I think Boxer will get the point … I mean we’ve established he isn’t too bright but I think you have spelled it out clear enough for Ray Charles himself to see.
Thantos ~
Hey man I’m just making sure Boxer … a man I thought had a bright future in this business until he showed me just how slow he really is will be able to comprehend what I am saying so that in his next interview he doesn’t come off like a guys that don’t know shit!
Nick ~
I think it’s a little late for that man!
.:: Thantos shrugs::.
Thantos ~
You might be right because just like everyone else that calls me out only to realize days later that they can not match my wit nor my in ring ability Jackass here reverted back to calling me washed up, old and said he is going to end my career on Monday night.
Nick ~
I think you just need to accept the fact that when people know they cant beat you they are going to go with the only thing they know …
Thantos ~
Yeah? And what’s that …
Nick ~
That we were here before they were … so that obviously means we are old … That the two of us have accomplished more in our careers than the rest of the roster combined so that obviously means that we are ready to be sent out to pasture and that is you add up both of those things we are obviously washed up. That’s all they have to go on … it’s not like Boxer can say hey Chris …. “I can beat you because Andrew King beat your ass so bad that you had to say I quite.”
Thantos ~
No shit we won’t be hearing him say that because that was him that was made to utter the words “I quite” to man that is known throughout the locker room as a joke and when I say he was made to say I quite I don’t mean he tapped out … No he yelled it for all to hear.
Nick ~
And it’s not like he can say I know I can beat you because Nic Leone beat you so bloody that the ref had to stop the match.
Thantos ~
Of course he can’t because again that was him … He looked like a fucking pin cushion after that match with all that glass and shit imbedded in his face.
Nick ~
And just because were on the subject it’s not like Boxer can say. “I know I can beat Chris Thantos because his record over the past 4 months is 7 wins, 6 loses and 1 draw!” And let me save you the trouble of explaining why he can’t say that because once again that is his record.
Thantos ~
Wow … if that’s not domination from an 8 foot tall retard I don’t know what is...:: The sarcasm in Thantos’s voice during his last statement was clear as day but for those who may have missed it Thantos rolls his eyes for good measure::. I think there is a valuable lesion to be learned here today for all of those cocky up and comers Boxer was talking about earlier and that’s this … If you’re going to talk shit, if your going to run your mouth about the guy your facing … if your going to claim that someone else on the roster other than yourself has the ability to kick your opponents ass just to get a rise out of him … Make sure that said opponent hasn’t already finished the guy off in every way possible and it might help if you have a win over or two over the guy as well.
.::Nick nods in agreement rubbing at his chin as if he were looking for any form of come back or follow up to what Chris just had to say.
Nick ~
I think that about sums it up … I mean I guess you could address the bull shit he was spewing about acting like a champion, how important titles are and why you”Don’t Have What it Takes”[/u][/color] to win the world title.Thantos ~.::Thantos ponders the suggestion for a moment then shakes his head no::.Thantos ~ I don’t think we have enough time to break that down so the dimwit can understand it properly … Maybe next time I’ll take the time to explain to the rookie that holding a title doesn’t mean shit when the title it’s self doesn’t mean anything due to the men that hold them … You know the whole … it’s the man that makes the title not the other way around..::Thantos nods his head as he gets to his feet::. Yeah, I’ll wait till next time .. maybe I’ll use Extreme Machine as an example of how you can take a title that has lost all meaning because the men who held it, lost it to nobodies then passed it around to more nobodies until someone finally won the damn thing and gave it meaning again..::Nick and Chris make their way to the door and continuing their conversation::.Nick ~It doesn’t matter how you break it down he’s never going to understand …. Thantos ~ your probably right … want to grab a bite to ear before we go see Damien Kane?Nick ~ Why the hell do we have to go see that guy?Thantos ~ Technically you don’t … I do … He has my titles and I guess he’s more than a little pissed that I left them in the ring trying to prove a point to the resident XHCW retarded giant.Nick ~ Joy … should be a good time bet ya he fines you ..Thantos ~ Bet you I knock him the fuck out if he does so he really has something to fine me for … It’s not like he can fire me … he’s on his way out and my contracts up at the end of the month …Nick ~ So true … speaking of your retirement I want to talk with you about that …..::The two men exit their locker room closing the door behind then as the scene fades to black::.[/size]

.::A sit down with Damien Kane and 15 minutes later::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] The scene fades in with Chris Thantos entering the office of Damien Kane with a big smile etched on his face. Damien can be seen sitting behind his desk and unlike Chris no smile or even a hint of being happy can be seen but rather a stern frown is returned. Chris Makes his way over to the desk and looks down to see both his title belts one atop the other.
Thantos ~
I heard you wanted to see me so what can I do for you.
Damien ~
Take a seat Chris … Thantos looks Damien up and down then back at his titles before responding. NO, I think I’ll stand .. I don’t plan on being here that long I kind of wanted to go out and address all my adoring fans.
Damien shakes his
Damien ~
I said, “Sit down” and you’ll be here as long as I tell you to be …
Thantos ~
The smile fades from Chris’s face then he leans forward and places his hands palms down on the desk and lean forward. Listen up you little fuck … I don’t know who you think your talking to but if you ever address me like that I’ll knock you the fuck out …
Damien gets to his feet and pokes Chris in the check as he responds
Damien ~
Is that so … Mr. ”Loose Cannon”[/u][/b] as the words slip off the tongue of Damien with so much sarcasm it would be hard to miss he pokes Chris in the chest again. Incase you forgot I am the boss here … you work for me.Thantos ~ No bitch boy … I work for Greg … you’re a fucking nobody here in the XHCW.Damien ~ Your contract may have been signed by Greg but I am the head booker here and I have the power to strip you of your title and suspend you if I see fit. Now put your ass in that chair I want to talk to you about the disrespect you showed the XHCW … our roster, our champions and most of all our championships. Before Damien saw it coming Chris grabbed Damien by the tie and pulled him in to a devastating left hook. Damien slumps but do to Chris’s hold on his he doesn’t fall but is obviously barely conscious and just for good measure Chris lifts Damien’s face and pulls him into another punch but this time it is a straight left hand to the nose. As Chris releases Damien he pushes him back and he falls into his leather chair. The camera zooms in to see that Damien’s nose is obviously broken as blood is pouring from it.Thantos ~ Suspend that you little bitch … Thantos spits in Damien’s face then grabs his titles off the desk and exits the room as the scene fades to black.[/SIZE] .::FLASH::. .::15 Minutes Later::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] The scene re-opens 15 minutes with Thantos already standing in the ring with a mic in hand. He waste’s no time in raising the mic after laying his titles at his feet once again.
Thantos ~
I am going to kick things off with a few comments about the king of “contradiction,” the king of the “Short term title rein.” None other than my whipping boy for the week … the wrestler formally known as Boxer. Why do I refer to him as the wrestler formally known as Boxer? Simple, after tomorrow night comes to pass he will be known as Chris Thantos’s Bitch! …. The fans begin to laugh but Thantos ends that quickly That’s not a joke … Boxer will be referred to as my bitch because that is exactly what he is. Let me give you a quote from this geniuses latest “master piece!” He said,” I already have you beat. Why else would you sink so low as to use petty insults on me? Boxer …. Are you fucking kidding me? I called you an 8 foot tall retard …. That’s it, nothing else and you call that petty insults and you think you have me right where you want me because of that yet lets look at some of the other colorful comments this moron made. “I wanted the best of Chris Thantos. Instead I get this washed-up legend, who's too damn cocky for his own good.” Get some new material … that shit is getting old and if I am washed up and just destroyed your boy Cid …. What does that make him? Just for good measure let’s give you one more before I finish this bitch off ..” Sucking Nick Kelly's dick, big surprise there. Actually, I heard it's more of a little surprise. At least that's what Kelly's mom told me the other night.”
Ok … so lets review … a guy that has never beat anyone, that has never held a title for more than a few weeks at best and contradicts himself more and more as the week goes on reverts to saying I am sucking Nick Kelly’s dick and busting out Momma jokes? So if I got this right doesn’t that mean your finished because your reverting to childish insults? The bottom line is this Boxer … When I finish you off on Monday night, when I hit my Ownward ~ Downward for the 1,2,3 what are you going to tell the guys in the back? What are you going to tell your woman? And how are you going to be able to look yourself in the mirror after getting your ass handed to you by a washed up has been? I think you need to think about a career change because you don’t have the right mind for this business. You think that winning titles makes you something but when you win them from nobodies they don’t mean shit. You keep referring to Nic Leone and I’ve already told you I have beat him more times than I can count … so you say oh … well ummm … those were in another fed so they don’t count … Hmmm … and you wonder why I call you a retard. It seems to me that the last time Leone stepped into an XHCW ring with Chris Thantos he walked out with a loss … and let’s that was what … 4 weeks ago? Yeah … but you keep telling the world how much he has improved. You’re nobody and the respect you tried to show me was a bunch of shit. It was fake … you’re a fake and after you lose Monday night everyone is going to see how over rated you are.
You can say whatever you want about BloodBath but the fact is we are IT when it comes to the XHCW. …. We are the best in the business and since you made claim that we had Trax and Machine join so we didn’t have to fight them riddle me this you mindless twit …. If that were true … then one would think I would have asked them to join Nick and I … But that’s not the case, they came to us. Your promo’s, just like your career is full of fail and I thank god that this week is over … not so I don’t have to deal with you any further but because I can’t handle one more of your week ass promo’s … they are full of mis-information and mis-conceptions …. They lack originality and if I may be completely honest with you are the worst promo’s I have seen since Andrew Kings …. But Don’t take it personal …. And I am sure you won’t because you’ve got your little buddy Fred X telling you everything is going to be A OK …. Another fucking waste of promo time … I’m sure he has your back, I’m sure he’s telling you that you have a chance against me …. I mean you delusional Mother fuckers are even claiming that BloodBath is dyeing out … well if that were the case jackass then help me understand why we hold so much gold? If we are aren’t shit then why is it that every time a member of Rev X has stepped into the ring with a member of BloodBath Rev X has walked out with a loss? You know what … I can’t even talk about this guy anymore … he just makes my head hurt so Boxer …. Buddy O pal … Don’t take this ass whipping personal …. Just get use to it.
With that said Thantos grabs up his titles after dropping the mic as the scene fades to black.

.::Here’s some more don’t give a Fuck!::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .::The scene fades in at an XHCW house just as Chris Thantos makes his way through the curtain. As appose to his normal entrance there is no music, no fireworks, no flashy lights and no fluff. Fans attempt to slap the hand and shoulder of the dual champion but he continues on to the ring with the slightest acknowledgement of a single fan. Once at ring side Chris grabs a mic from then rolls under the bottom rope. The camera zooms in just as Chris adjusts the Euro-Continental title on his left shoulder::.
Thantos ~
All week long people have been asking the same questions … “Chris, when are you going to talk about your match with Nick Kelly?” and “Chris, What are you going to do about Damien Kane?” oh and my personal favorite, “Chris, are you afraid to face Nick and is that why you have been so quiet this week?” Chris shakes his head with a smile on his face. I don’t know if people have figured it out yet but I still don’t give a fuck about what people want. So I’ve been avoiding the camera’s a bit this week … What does that mean? Not a god damn thing .. I didn’t feel like talking so I didn’t and that has nothing to do with Nick and everything to do with me not giving a fuck about this match, Damien Kane or what you fans want to see and hear.
Thantos lowers the mic as the fans begin to boo loudly which is a big change from the weeks prior where the fans seemed to eat up every word that came from Chris’s mouth.
Thantos ~
I know you people expected me to come out here as soon as the match was booked to start hyping what could be the match of the year … more over I bet Damien expected me to come out as soon as this match was booked to start complaining but what Damien fails to realize is this won’t be mine and Nick’s first dance … Ya see about three years ago Nick and I met for the first time and instantly hated one another for many reasons but the main reason being we were to much a like and no company was big enough to hold our ego’s. If Damien thought that booking this match was going to ignite a similar feud he is sadly mistaken.
I have watched as Damien has cried like a 14 year old with a skinned knee for the past two week because I put him in his place and believe you me when I say there is nothing worse than watching a grown man cry about getting his ass kicked. I know Damien thought that booking this match would end in me feeling like a fool for putting myself in a position where I got booked to meet my best friend … my brother in the ring but again Damien is wrong. I will face Nick at the Pay Per View and do so with honor. When it’s over, BloodBath will be strong as ever and either Nick Kelly or Chris Thantos will be walking around with the Euro-continental title …
Essentially Damien has accomplished nothing in booking this match. So let’s take a look at this … he was laid up in a hospital with a broken nose, a fractured orbital, a concussion and let’s not forget about that bruised ego of his and the best he could come up with as a punishment is to put me in a co-main event match with an XHCW legend which no doubt will increase by rates making my Pay Per View bonus even bigger … that’s some punishment there Damien. Thantos lowers the mic as the fans once again boo showing their disapproval for Thantos’s new attitude toward everything since announcing his retirement. This match is what it is and win or lose I am going to get paid. That’s what Damien doesn’t get, that’s what Reaper doesn’t get and that’s what you morons who pay hundreds of dollars on a weekly basis don’t get.
My legacy is etched in stone and nothing that happens now matters … I have already done everything there is to do in this business. I have already beaten everyone that matters … won all the titles that matter and made enough money that when I walk away from the ring I don’t ever have to step foot in it again as a competitor. I won’t be one of those broken down has been’s that all you fucking nobodies keep talking about … or that old guy that doesn’t understand that he just doesn’t have it anymore. That won’t be Chris Thantos … You see since I came back from injury every man I have faced kept saying the same tired shit … Thantos is old, Thantos can’t hack it anymore bla bla, fucking bla and where are those men …. Sitting at the bottom of Sundays card or no longer in the XHCW with a big fucking L next to their collective names. I’m far from washed up … I’m far from a has been … the fact is I am a legend and an Icon that doesn’t have anything left to prove.
So I’ll finish out my contract .. wrestle whoever they tell me to and come July 1st you will never see me in this ring again. So after the Pay Per View, win or lose nothing is going to change … I’ll still be an asshole … I’ll still be the Loose Cannon and there is still nothing Damien can do about it …. Because there are worse things in this world than losing to another legend and icon in Nick Kelly … and Damien … if you don’t stay out of my way you’ll experience all of them! Don’t take it personal … Just get use to it.
Thantos drops the mic and makes his way out of the ring and up the ramp as the scene fades.

Narration ~ Over the past month several things have taken place pertaining to the current XHCW Euro-Continental Champion. First he announced his early retirement from active competition and told the world that he would be taking over the position held by Damien Kane. After said announcement a war of words began which quickly became physical when Damien made a few off hand comments that Chris didn’t appreciate. Damien retaliated in an attempt to punish Chris by suspending him and stripping him of his title. Neither punishment stuck as Chris once again attacked Damien this time sending him to the hospital. Damien once again retaliated this time booking a match between long time friends and stable mates Chris Thantos and Nick Kelly. Damien took it upon himself to interfere in the match several times stating that the match was not up to XHCW standards which resulted in Nick Kelly accidentally punching Thantos in the face which in turn resulted in Thantos smashing Nick over the head with a steel chair before he walked out on the match all together. Since that time no one has heard from Chris. The plot thickened when the card was booked Monday and Chris’s name was not on it however the next day changes were made putting Chris in a match with his Euro-Continental title on the line against Reaper.[/size] .::The Story Continues!::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .::The scene fades in as with a camera crew following close behind Ace Bradley as he walks the halls of the XHCW locker room area. Ace pauses at the door of BloodBaths locker room with a look of uncertainty on his face, he reaches up to knock then pauses for a moment lowering his hand before raising it again and forcing himself to knock twice with the second knock being louder than the first. Ace waits for a sign of life and after waiting for about a minute he reaches for the handle and gives it a turn and pushes the door open just enough for his to stick his head in and have a look around. Ace pans the room then opens the door completely and enters with the camera man following close behind. As Ace makes his way around the room he begins to narrate as if he were taping a documentary::.
Ace ~
Just as I thought … there is no sign of Chris Thantos or his belongings here in the locker room of the most dominant stable in the history of the XHCW. Did Chris close the book on the stable with a well aimed chair shot to the head of Nick Kelly? Or was it a Nick Kelly sucker punch which was derived from several interferences in his match with Chris by the man known as Damien Kane? Either way it would seem that Chris is no longer sharing time and space with the 3 men that he has called his family as of late.
Ace makes his way over to what use to be Chris’s locker and opens the door revealing the empty space. Ace feels around on the shelf above his head and finds nothing but an old picture. Ace holds it and glances at it for a moment then holds it out for the camera to see. The camera zooms in to see a picture of Nick Kelly, Eddie Stichard, Franchise Killer and Chris Thantos standing in front of a banner hanging just above their head which has only a single letter on it “X.”::.
Ace ~
I fond it strange that after two years Chris still carry’s a picture of his old stable mates around with him. Is this a sign that he misses the old days or merely a reminder of what once was?.:: Ace place the picture back on the shelf and closes the locker door and turns to make his way toward the exit of the room when the door suddenly opens and Extreme Machine makes his way in. Machine stops in his tracks and looks from Ace to the camera crew then steps back through the door and apparently checks the name plate on the door before re-entering::.
Machine ~
For a minute there I thought I walked into the wrong room but it would seem that it isn’t I that is in the wring place but rather the two of you … So let me ask you .. what the fuck are you doing here?
.::Ace looks over at the camera man then back at Machine then takes a deep breath obviously trying to hide whatever fear he may be feeling.::.
Ace ~
Paul … it’s great to see you again, nice win at the PPV keeping that undefeated streak in tack.
.::Ace opens his mouth to speak again but Machine cuts him off::.
Machine ~
Stop blowing smoke up my ass and answer the question … you know you’re not suppose to be in here unless a member of BloodBath is with you!
Ace ~
Well … umm, you’re here with me now so no harm no foul right?.::Machine glares at Ace giving him the indication that now is not the time for jokes and it would be better if Ace just leveled with him::. Look, the fact is I was looking for Chris. No one seems to know where he is. I called his house no answer, his cell no answer. I came here and it looks like he has cleared out all of his belongings. He’s got a huge title defense this week again Reaper and no one has heard a peep out of him so I thought I would do some pocking around to see if I could find out why.
.::Machine rubs his chin perhaps contemplating weather or not to punch Ace in the face for snooping around or to give him what little bit of information he knows. After what feels like several minutes of uncomfortable silence but couldn’t be more than 15 to 20 seconds Machine nods his head and begins to speak::.
Machine ~
Here’s the deal …when the Genocide card was first posted Chris wasn’t on it … He figured that after what he did at the PPV Damien was going to keep him off the card until he retired. I know he sat down with Greg Anthony on Monday night, the two of them talked and Chris walked out pissed off. He came in here where Trax and I were having a few drinks and said that he wouldn’t be taking the staff job offered by Greg Anthony after he retired and that Damien would not be taking the job with ESPN. I tried to find out why and Chris didn’t say. He packed his shit and left. Tuesday afternoon I found out that Chris was booked to defend his title against Reaper and I tried to call Chris to tell him but didn’t get a hold of him. If you ask me this whole thing bull shit. Damien left Chris off the card and when he knew Chris was gone he booked him … knowing full well that when Chris doesn’t think he is booked he goes to his place in Florida to relax.
Ace ~
So Chris turned down the staff job, Damien isn’t leaving and now Chris is booked to defend his title in a match he doesn’t even know he has?! Did I miss anything?
Machine ~
Nope, that’s about it ….::As if something just popped in his head Machine smacks his forehead with the palm of his hand::. Actually no, that’s not it! From what I heard Cid black and the guy that runs the N.I.W.F. are throwing huge dollar amounts at Chris to sign on with them once his contract expires in June. Were talking crazy numbers … again it may be just rumors but there is always 50% lie and 50% truth in most rumors you hear.
Ace ~
Yeah, and when Chris finds out he’s been booked in a match against Reaper after being told he has the week off he is going to be pissed … will he be pissed enough to sign with the enemy is the question?! I know Chris was looking forward to walking away under his own terms but if the numbers your hearings are right that along with the screw job Damien is throwing his way may be enough to convince him to put his retirement off for a year.
Machine ~
.::Machine shrugs::. Maybe …
Ace ~
Thanks Paul, if you hear from Chris let him know I am looking for him .. and I’ll do the same because it would be a shame if Chris lost his title to someone like Reaper due to no showing a match he didn’t even know he had.
.::The scene fades out as Ace heads for the exit leaving Machine alone in the room::. .::Mean while Thantos learns of his match and mulls over a contract!::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .::The scene re-opens with Chris Thantos sitting on the deck of his 3 floor condo unit located in beautiful Ft Lauderdale Florida. Chris can be seen lounged back with his feet propped up. A glass of what appears to be Scotch can be seen on the table to his left and the sweat dripping down the side of glass give a good indication on just how hot it is. The camera zooms in closer to see that Chris appears to be having a conversation with someone who’s voice can be heard clear as day do to the phone being on speaker phone::.
Voice ~
Look Chris it’s no big deal really … when our contract expires there is no non- compete clause attached. You are free to go where ever the hell you want. I honestly thought that the staff position with the XHCW was a done deal or I would have been shopping around sooner.
Thantos ~
Look, I know you’re my agent but give me a fucking break … do you honestly think you need to shop me around? I have received several offers since announcing my retirement. Some for announce team work, some for in ring work and some for agent work. I have always kept my options open and for good reason. I knew Damien wasn’t going to take that job with ESPN … he’s a power hungry piece of shit and at ESPN he would be just another face behind a desk.
Voice ~
So what are you doing do then? The CwO offer is nice, I mean you and Cid know each other very well and he is offering you full creative control and a large downside guarantee to boot. On the other hand the guys with the N.I.W.F. are offering twice as much money, creative control and no house shows. To me that sounds like the sweeter deal.
.::Thantos shakes his head as he reaches for his drink. He takes a sip then sets his glass back down::.
Thantos ~
It doesn’t sound like a sweeter deal, it sounds like more commission for you.
Voice ~
Come on Chris, how long have we worked together? 7? 8 years? You know I’m not just about the commission.
Thantos ~
Exactly, we have worked together that long and that is why I know that the commission is all you care about. That’s why you called every member of BloodBath when I announced my retirement trying to either sign them or talk them into talking me out of retiring. You have always cared about the money so let’s not start pretending now that this is about anything else. Anyway, have you found out if they are going to keep me off tv until my contract runs out or if they just didn’t book me this week because of what happened at the Pay Per View and they figured I needed a week to sort shit out between Nick and I?
Voice ~
What are you talking about? You’re booked this week!?
Thantos ~
No I’m not … I saw the card on Monday and I wasn’t on it … I talked to Greg after the card was posted and he confirmed that I wasn’t going to be booked this week. He didn’t say why but he definitely said I wasn’t working this week.
Voice ~
That may be but something must have changed because when I talked to Nick on Tuesday he said you were booked to face Reaper …
Thantos ~
Why the fuck would I be booked to face that UHWF job boy? He isn’t even mid-card in the XHCW?
Voice ~
Are you joking? He won the #1 contenders match at the pay per view … the Euro-Continental title number 1 contender’s match! Didn’t you pay attention to the card or at least the matches?
Thantos ~
Why the hell would I? I have less than 4 weeks left in the XHCW ….::Thantos slams his fist down on the table next to him causing his drink to bounce off the table and the glass to shatter on the deck below::. That mother fucker ..
Voice ~
Who …
Thantos ~
Damien … Damien Kane … he booked the match after I left knowing that I wouldn’t bother to check back in until next week. He knows Reaper doesn’t stand a chance against me one on one so he made me think I wasn’t being booked all the while waiting till I was gone to make the match..::Thantos sits up and leans forward thinking for a second all the while his agent keeps calling out his name asking if he is still there::. Yeah, I’m still here … do me a favor and charter me a flight to where ever the hell Genocide is this week. I don’t care what it costs but I want to be there today … wait ….::Thantos pauses once again as he runs his fingers through his dirty blond hair::. Scratch that, I still want the flight but fly me to where ever the XHCW is running tonight’s house show. Buy me a front row ticket incase Damien tries to pull some bull shit and then book me another flight that leaves tomorrow morning for where ever Genocide is being held this week.
Voice ~
Ok so a flight to the house show, one front row ticket, a flight the next morning to wherever Genocide is taking place … anything else?
Thantos ~
Yeah, contact Greg Anthony … let him know that I am fielding offers from both the CwO and the N.I.W.F. for one year deals. Let him know what they’re offering.
Voice ~
Do you want me to set up a meeting between the two of you in case he wants to counter?
Thantos ~
No …. And if he asks tell him I said as much. One more thing … tell Cid Black that I want to talk to him tonight … find out when he’s free.
Voice ~
Ok! Done, but if your going to be talking money with Cid don’t you think I should be on that call?
Thantos ~
No ….::His agent begins to protest but Thantos hangs the phone up. He sits in silence for a moment taking in everything he just heard and said::. If Damien thinks he can fuck me over he is sadly mistaken. I better not find out that Reaper knew about this or he can consider his waste of a career over.
.:: Thantos grabs his cell phone and dials a number. It couldn’t have rang more than a few times as Thantos begins speaking almost immediately::.
Thantos ~
I’ll need a car to the airport later today and someone to pack up my things … No, I won’t be staying as long as I thought. Thank you … oh … and one more thing! Someone needs to close up my condo I won’t be returning for a month or so.
.::Thantos closes his flip phone and glares into the camera as the scene fades to black::.

.::Questions Answered: Time to Face The Music::. [/u][/b][/i][/size][/color] .:: The scene fades back in just as the BloodBath locker room door swings open and “Extreme Machine” Paul Hunter can be seen as the camera zooms in carrying a bag in his left hand and his car keys in the other. Machine sets the bag down then turns back toward the door::.
Machine ~
You need help with those or are you good?.:: Just as the words fall from Machines lips “The Original Loose Cannon” Chris Thantos makes his way through the door carrying two suitcases. His Euro-Continental title can be seen draped over his left shoulder while his tag team title rests as usual strapped around his waist::.
Thantos ~
Naa bro I got it!.::Thantos makes his way over to his locker then sets his bags down::. Thanks for picking me up bro … I couldn’t get my usual driver since I told him to take the week off … Considering well you know … that whole me not being booked thing?1
.:: Thantos has a “what the fuck is up with that” look on his face as Machine makes his way over and takes a seat at the card table looking just as confused as Thantos::.
Machine ~
To be honest man I was wondering the same fucking thing … one minute I have Reaper one on one and the next thing I know you replaced me and I found myself one on one with the World champ. Seemed like a screw job to me man.
.::Thantos removes the tag title from around his waist and lays it on the table then places his Euro-Continental title right next to it before taking a seat to continue the conversation::.
Thantos ~
Best I can figure is Damien knew I would bounce to Florida for a week then book me against Reaper knowing that I don’t check my messages or email when I have time off. And that fucker knows that losing my title due to no show to a hack like Reaper would piss me off to no end …..
Machine ~
To be honest man I wasn’t sure if bounced to Florida or if you just said fuck it and decided not to come back after that shit that went down with you and Nick. I mean I know you generally like to be left alone when you have time off to be with the wife but I called you like 100 times to tell you about the match …. I figured you would see all the calls and voice mails and would think something was a miss. When you didn’t call back that’s what made me think you just said fuck it!?.:: By no means does Machine look afraid but a bit of tension is in the air. Perhaps due to the talk about Chris hitting Nick Kelly or because Machine’s doubts of his mentors return::.
Thantos ~
Naa …. I just didn’t check my phone. I didn’t even think to check it so I didn’t even know you called me that many times … seriously, I’m an ass but if I saw that many missed calls I would have called you back bro. I’m just lucky my retard of an agent got a call from Cid Black or I never would have known … Ya see I leave my phone in the drawer till I’m ready to go but Tara’s is attached to her fucking head 24/7 … My agent knew to call her. But anyways, enough about that shit … Damien failed in his mission to fuck me over … Reaper is going to find out that running his mouth about Chris Thantos isn’t a game to be taken lightly …. He had diarrhea of the mouth when I was no where to be found … let’s see how reckless he is with that mouth now that he knows I’m back … now that he knows that Pro Wrestling’s “Original Loose Cannon” is focused on nothing but showing the world why Reaper ran to the UHWF.
.:: Machine glances at Chris with a look of wonder and it is crystal clear that he has something he needs to ask Chris::.
Machine ~
You know man … I’m glad your back, I’m glad Reaper didn’t get a cheap win but I gotta know ….:: Machine pauses for a moment as he prepares his words ensuring they come out right. As it is Chris has beat down an announcer, a GM and smacked his best friend with a chair and the last thing Machine is looking to do before his big match is get into it with his mentor::. I want you to know that you don’t owe me a damn thing … I am who I am today in part because of you so I want you to know I mean no disrespect when I ask but what the hell happened between you and Nick last week?
.:: Thantos sits in silence for a moment as he reaches into his pocket and pulls a pack of cigarettes and a lighter out. He lights his cigarette and exhales still silent then just as it seems that Chris has no intentions of answering the question he looks Machine dead in the eye::.
Thantos ~
I have thought about that moment all week … I have wondered if that chair shot was a result of the punch Nick hit me with or frustration due to Damien’s constant interference and to be honest man I don’t think it’s either. I really don’t … I mean Nick has hit me before and a hell of a lot harder and I never blasted him with a chair unless it was part of the match … and Damien is a fucking jerk off who I put in the hospital with a single Onward~Downward and I know I can do it again any time I want so I don’t think it was him ….::Thantos falls silent once again watching the smoke rings he’s exhaling as they fade away to nothing::.
Machine ~
Ok …. Then if it wasn’t the punch and it wasn’t Damien then what the fuck bro? I mean I could understand if you punch him back but you swung that fucking chair like a bat and drilled your best friend …. I know you’re the Loose Cannon but damn man?!
.:: Machine glares across the table at Chris just as he stands up and gathers his titles. After putting his cigarette out Chris makes his way toward the door and reaches for the handle then stops and turns back to see a shocked and confused Extreme Machine looking back at him::.
Thantos ~
I know man … I know you want answers, I’m sure Nick wants answers, hell I am sure the entire roster wants to know what was going through my head when I tagged Nick with that chair but I don’t know … and since I can’t give you an honest answer I’m not going to make something up. I need to deal with Reaper right now …. I’ll deal with this shit later..::Thantos exits the locker room closing the door behind him as the camera zooms in on Machine::.
Machine ~
Now I know why they call that fucker the Loose Cannon … .::Shaking his head::. How the fuck can you not know why you hit a man with a chair?!
.::Machine chuckles a bit still shaking his head as the scene cuts from the locker room to the ring where Phil Alluponya can be seen standing alone in the ring with a mic in hand. He raises it to his lips as a wide smile takes shape on his face::.
Phil ~
Lady’s and gentlemen … boys and girls … are you ready for the interview everyone has been waiting for since last week when the long time tag team partner and best friend of Nick Kelly took a steel chair and drilled his brother, partner and friend leaving him lay as he walked away as if he hadn’t a care in the world?
.::The fans give a mixed reaction of cheers and boo’s and Phil smiles even wider::.
Phil ~
It took some doing but right here … right now in this very ring we will hear from Chris Thantos and maybe … just maybe Nick Kelly will get that explanation he was talking about earlier this week.
.:: Just then the lights in the arena fade to black then to a strobe effect red as Releasing the Demons by “Godsmack” kicks up and Thantos makes his way through the curtain. The camera zooms in as Thantos raises both his tag team and Euro-Continental titles high in the air holding one in each hand. Another mixed reaction can be heard as Chris makes his way down the ramp. Several fans can be seen yelling various obscenities at the icon and legend Chris Thantos. But rather than reacting to the fans he continues on as if he didn’t hear a word that was spoken. Once at ringside Thantos climb’s the ring steps and steps between the top and middle rope as he enters the ring. As he passes Phil an evil grin takes shape on Chris face. He stops in the center of the ring and raises his titles once again but this time he drops then and as they fall to the mat Chris makes his old trade mark X over head with his arms. Chris lowers his arms looks around as Phil approaches with his mic::.
Phil ~
Chris … It appears that some of our great fans have missed seeing the Loose Cannon this week while others could care less?! What do you think about that as just a few weeks back you could have called their mother bitches and the fans would have cheered even louder?!
Thantos ~
Is that a trick question …. Did you really call me out here to ask me what I think of the fans giving me a mixed reaction?.::Thantos spits on Phil’s left shoe then looks at him as if he were about to take him apart::.
Phil ~
Fair enough … fair enough! Your right, that isn’t what I called you out here for and since it seems your ready to get down to business let me just flat out ask you … have you talked to Nick Kelly and what do you think about Nick saying you owe him an explanation?
.::Thantos tips his head to the right just a bit as he glares at Phil::.
Thantos ~
I think your confused just a bit Phil .. ya see I didn’t come out here to talk about last week. Ya see it’s this week I want to talk about. My match with Reaper is what I want to talk about. What happened with Nick can wait until next week but Reaper … he needs to be addressed here and now.
Phil ~
But Chris … the fans don’t care about Reaper … they don’t want to hear about a guy than tucked tail and ran to the UHWF when he saw that the XHCW was chalked full of real competitors … They want to know how you plan to deal with Nick and they want to know what will happen to BloodBath?
Thantos ~
I don’t think you’re getting it Phil … All of that can wait! There will be plenty of time to talk about BloodBath … Nick and I have years to sort out last week but I have just a few short days until I show Reaper why his biggest mistake wasn’t coming back to the XHCW but rather the day he mentioned the name Chris Thantos..::Thantos looks Phil up and down puzzled as Phil shakes his head no::. I don’t get it man … I hear the words coming out of my mouth, I know I can’t spell it out any clearer … I have no answers … no explanation … I’m not here for anything other than my match with Reaper so if you don’t have anything to say about my match with Reaper it would behoove you to exit this ring.
Phil ~
Chris … Thantos, there is no need to get angry! I am sure you are a bit concerned about the repercussions of your actions from last week but I am also sure that Nick will give you every opportunity in the world to explain yourself.
.::Thantos smiles as he lowers his head and without warning Thantos shoots in and drives Phil into the mat with his Onward~Downward. Phil flops around then falls limp as Chris sits up then looks down at Phil and shakes his head. Chris gets to his feet then reaches down and grabs the mic. Chris gives Phil one more look then smiles as he raises the mic::.
Thantos ~
Either there is something in the water or people with dumb ass questions are drawn to me like flies on shit … I mean what the fuck. I warned that dumb bastard … I told him … Talk about my match or shut the fuck up and he wouldn’t stop…. What did he think was going to happen?.::Thantos shakes his head once more::. Anyway … as I was trying to say before Monday night Reaper and I will step into the ring for the first time ever … and although Reaper won the right to face me by beating Boxer I have to wonder what Damien was thinking when he booked this match?! Does Damien honestly believe that Reaper of all men has what it takes to put an end to my title rein? Does he honestly believe that a guy like Reaper has what it takes to punish the Original Loose Cannon for all the pain and embarrassment he suffered over the last few weeks?
.::Thantos laughs as he looks down as the still motionless man at his feet::.
Thantos ~
If that is the case then Damien is dumber than I thought he was. But the fact is I don’t believe that Damien booked this match because he thought Reaper could beat me … I don’t think he booked this match because Reaper is the number one contender to my title but rather … I think Damien thought he could pull a fast one on me and book me after I thought I had the week off. I mean why else would Reaper be booked to take on Extreme Machine on Monday … then as soon as I left town switch things up booking Machine against Kash and me against Reaper. He thought that he was going to catch me slipping and he damn near did …. I give him credit, it was a great plan but Damien problem is good planning and poor follow through. Because I found out about his little version of the Montreal Screw job and I am here to defend my title, I am here to give Reaper the match he has been begging for and I am here to show the entire wrestling world why sometimes you regret what you ask for.
Everyone knows that ever since I made the comment that I could beat any man on the UHWF roster Reaper showed back up with a hard on for your Euro-continental champion. He showed up and began writing checks his ass can’t cash. The loud mouth mother fucker laid out challenge after challenge and even though his challenges fell on deaf ears he continued to ask for a match with The Legend … the Icon … The Original Loose Cannon … Chris Thantos..::Thantos shrugs as a smile takes shape on his face::. So riddle me this Mr. self proclaimed “Hottest Commodity” in the XHCW … what are you going to do now that you have the match? You ran from the XHCW when you realized you couldn’t hand with the mid card roster … what are you going to do now that your in the ring with the main event?
Get your ass kicked and nothing more … you didn’t have what it took to hang with the big boys when you ran away before and nothing has changed since you returned. I mean you beat Boxer …. Wow … who hasn’t! I exposed him for the nothing he is two weeks ago. Nothing has changed with me in the short time you were gone … I haven’t gotten weaker … I haven’t slowed down and I haven’t lost a match! I’m everything you want to be yet never can. I have accomplished everything you whish like hell you could but know in your heart that you don’t have the ability. It’s easy for you to talk shit in an empty ring about a man you couldn’t beat on your best day … it’s a whole different story backing it up when you have to look that man in the eyes … it’s a different story all together when I look back into yours because I have a feeling that all I am going to see is fear … the same fear that made you run for the hills after Kash realized that having you around made him weaker rather than stronger … The same fear that had you attacking Damage from behind when you wanted to get at Kash rather than just calling Kash out … and the same fear that will make you turn tail and run after my Onward~Downward puts you down for the 1,2,3 handing you the lose you deserve sending you back to the minor league UHWF where you belong … don’t take it personal … just get use to it!
.::Thantos drops the mic and reaches for his titles as the scene fades to black::.
