“Under the lotus…. Black rain falls indoors and outside. Under the lotus…”
A voice spoke out within a dark room. A moment of silence before two claps would ring out and the lights coming on to reveal the one and only Lotus Eclipse, though the screen would occasionally trip out as if it had a bad signal. Sporting his trademark gear, his feathered hat could be seen off in the distance as for now he wore a bandanna over his head, recognizable as the late Mystic’s headwear. The background would be playing out a soft instrumental of Lacuna Coil’s spellbound as the excitable Blue Lightning stood in his personal room.
“Under the Lotus, we don’t die. Black rain falls indoors and outside. Quite the lyric, ain’t it? For one that has been called The Lotus Eclipse for so long, it feels fitting. Considering my brother had gone by Black Rain at one point. Not to mention the whole Dark Lotus team. I’m trailing off on the matter— Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, gather round and turn up the volume for this is no illusion. This is no tricks. This is live and before you is the man that’s done it all plus more, a living legends, a mythical mad man with the stamina stacked upon stamina and endurance that’d make any man jealous— and the ladies very curious..” he started up his speech before pausing at a thought. “The lady won’t like that one, BUT here I am! The Lotus Eclipse... Jay Blue Lightning, The WWFG's protector! the guardian angel that watches over the souls that fight to the top and on occasion will sit at the top, himself. Back in black and blue, The Eclipse has risen for you. This company has been around for so long, and so many believe it’s outlived it’s time. No one had the heart to bring ol’ wwfer out back and put it out with a bang,” Jay commented with a hand poised as a gun and pointed to his temple. Another glitch out would bring a brief image of a rather peculiar smiley face with an X over an eye.
“The day did come and the company I’ve been with for a good part of my life had come to an end. I’ve been here with WWFG for ages. Made more enemies than friends at first, but I pushed on to become so much. the Ministry of Darkness to battling the main man, The Undertaker… I outlasted the dead and pushed forward through many enemies, friends, and family. I’ve seen so many come and go… I’ve felt loss as much as I’ve felt gratefulness. I won’t deny that this place has done a number on my mental and physical being… but alas, would you call that the whimsy of a mad man? To return to abuse, to rise against … nothing. That’s the magic! I have nothing left to prove here. I’ve done all that I could care for. Record holding, titles galore, the master of the Rumble, and show stopping numbers! I have it all! So… why rise up? Why return to this place?” A small pause as hands would press against each other with the Eclipse looking down, in thought.
“Simply put. What’s the WWFG without the man that’s backed it since day one? The Eclipse rises before the WWFG because it IS the WWFG. My heart beats as one with this company, my body and soul craves to be out in that spotlight and to either protect or destroy what’s in my way. I’ll admit that I feel so much guilt for the time I lost away from the company. Saying goodbyes to my family and friends, welcoming new lives? I’ve had a lot on my plate during my runs and while away. The past will always remain in the past, and I know to look ahead into the future. The future where I see… gold. Glittering gold in the form of a title I hold so dear. Four men, one tournament, and apparently two prizes. If my track record shows anything, I will stop at nothing to reclaim something so very dear. So who’s in my way?” Leaving off screen, Jay would return with a whiteboard featuring four names… or three names with one crossed out. On one side was mirage and Eclipse. The other side was Drako and… not hard to guess the crossed out name. Another glitch with the same smiley appearing over an empty board before reverting back.
“First up we have myself and Mirage.. who I do not think I have much of a history with. In fact, I don’t know if Mirage exists. By definition, I could be fighting my own imagination which may actually put me in early danger— but I don’t plan on falling for a figment of my imagination. I plan on beating this mysterious soul and moving on to fight Drako, one I know I have a good history with, or… …. Well, we don’t talk about Salem, no no no,” spoken as a song with a wag of a finger, he would move along. “If I don’t meet Drako in the finals may it be by unfortunate luck on my behalf or fates decide otherwise, my goal once more is to reclaim the throne and show lightning can and will strike more than once, more than twice. My goal is to sit at the top as I always do when I come back, but ... It'll be different this time around.
Flipping the board around, a moon would be drawn along with the Lotus Eclipse spelled underneath it. “Lotus is a memory of what I hold onto has a wrestler and performer, today. I’ve always been an Eclipse alongside one that’s never made it to this company and my Eclipse siblings from long ago, and I’m forever as Dark Lotus to keep my brother’s memory alive. So what does this have to do with anything? Well… I did say the past is in the past, right? Once I pass through Mirage,” Jay would begin writing on the board, crossing out Lotus and writing out Lunar, “We'll see what lies beyond the dark side of the moon.” The cheerful and outgoing persona had disappeared once Lotus had crossed out the name. A calmer but eerie tone took over with a small chuckle following his statement. For a brief moment, the video would glitch with the image of Lotus going upside down and the board spinning before returning to normal outside of the fact that a black light took over with new writing reviewed on the board, ‘free the mind, free the body’ written over and over with deranged smiling faces here and there. Another glitch with the board gone and Jay standing in place with one hand covering half of his face. With a motion, he’d tilt his head away from the hand with the hand also moving off to the side.
"Free the mind of the laws set for you by your own conscious... Free the body of its limitations. Accept the madness, become a part of it..." he spoke with one more glitch showing everything back to normal outside of the board spinning around and around and around. "See you in the future..." Jay's voice spoke out before the screen went dark followed with the image of the odd smiley taking over the screen.
