Oh wah ah ah ah!
Down with the Sickness hits and flames shoot up on the stage as Jarel Damone leads Janelle Damone and Cartwright out onto the stage. the fans erupt in cheers as the legend stands and looks out into the sea of fans.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome WWFG Hall of Famer and number one contender to the WWFG Undisputed championship, Jarel Drako Damone!"
Jarel leads the way down to the ring, stepping up onto the apron first and into the ring over the top rope. Cartwright and Janelle also enter the ring behind him and Janelle grabs the mic. the music dies out as she hands it to Jarel. Jarel waits for the crowd to die down before he speaks.
"Last week, I came out here to this ring and I did the unexpected. Last night, the Dragon met the champion, and the Dragon came out on top. I learned earlier tonight that this does indeed make me the number one contender to the Undisputed championship, a title I've never held before. I have been world heavyweight champion, but I left after losing to Cyrus. I retired with dignity. But as with most retirements, it was not meant to last."
Jarel pauses.
"I sat at home and I watched this company change. I watched this once proud federation begin a fall from grace. I watched as cowardice ran rampant. I watched icons fall into obscurity, losing themselves in self pity. That was not the federation I left. When I left, this place was overflowing with talent. It was filled with warriors. That changed. As I sat at home some months ago, I watched an icon break down. I watched my old rival, the one guy I knew would always keep coming at me as long as I laced up my boots, fall from glory and wallow in self pity. This spurred me to action. The Dragon was needed again. But restoring my new found friend here to glory takes time. And in this time, I saw the way to begin. Cartwright here, wasn't ready for gold yet. He proved that with that tag title loss. No, he needs to be tested more. He needs to work harder. He has to show me that he's back in my league. But he needs something to shoot for, something to drive him back to his old self. I have spent weeks pondering just what I could do to further motivate him. And then, the boss handed it to me."
Jarel smiles.
"He put me in the ring with the reigning Undisputed champion. And it hit me. This kills two birds with one stone. Last week, I didn't beat the champion just for myself. No, there was something else driving me forward. When I told Cartwright we would dominate and destroy, he didn't quite catch on. I have to set the example. I have to raise the bar. What better way than by beating the champion?"
Jarel looks out into the crowd.
"So, in front of a sold out arena, I did that. I defeated Draze. And before I go further, I must commend our reigning champion. Draze is what this federation seemed to be missing. He is a fighting champion. He is a warrior. He is a warrior that was unafraid to test himself against the Dragon. He looked into the eye of the fire, and kept coming until he just couldn't come back anymore. I understand that Draze never tapped out, and that restores a fraction of my hope in this federation. But, while I respect him, I have a goal. The gold he wears around his waist, I want for myself. Now I realize that come the end of the night, he may not be champion. Draven has his rematch. So allow me to address Draven as well."
The Dragon begins to pace the ring.
"Matt Draven and I have never met one on one in the ring. We've spoken once, backstage, but the two of us have not gone to war. And make no mistake about this, Draven, if you step into the ring with me you are stepping into a war. Last week, I showed that I am still the dominant force I have always been. I defeated the top guy in the company, and it has increased my hunger, my drive. At the end of tonight, one of you warriors will stand tall as WWFG Undisputed champion. But at the end of the night, you must also face the knowledge that you are stepping into the ring with the primal force in WWFG. You face your biggest challenge to date, the biggest threat to your championship reign. In short, you face the instrument of your destruction. At the Royal Rumble, I will unleash upon the reigning champion the force that there is no stopping. I will unleash the rage of the primal force upon you and at the end of the night, I will soar to the top of the mountain once again, with the greatest of treasures around my waist."
