[The scene opens with Armstrong walking into the studio talking to Gene about his upcoming contest.]
Gene: This Joe guy is nothing but scum, he thinks this all a game, and he thinks it's all a joke. He is the reason this business has turned into the trash that it has become.
Armstrong: Yeah, I mean come on? I have never seen people to bring their PERSONAL lives in to a WRESTLING ring. People want physicality, and they want to see men who will go out there in leave it all behind.
Gene: Not this guy, he thinks these people care about some little girl or some song by the latest fad on the radio. NO! THESE PEOPLE CAME TO WATCH WRESTLING, NOT A SOAP OPERA!
Armstrong: Calm yourself down Gene!
Gene: I'm sorry, it's just sometimes the way people treat this sport, it just upsets me.
Armstrong: Ok, I'm going to go do my thing, so just stay calm, have some water, I'll be back in a couple of minutes.
[Armstrong walks in front of an nCw banner, takes a swig of his water and picks up a microphone.]
Joe Everyman, that was some trash you talked about ... Lance Ryan. It makes me wonder if a man who dwells so deeply into his past has had enough time to considerer his future. I honestly don't think you have spent enough time thinking about the future, but I can tell by your video that your past is a very interesting place and one that I couldn't give a damn about.
There is a reason you go on losing streaks every so often, you are so caught up in your win that you forget that time moves forward, and you are a pristine example of a megalomaniac, in fact you are such a megalomaniac that you made sure everyone could see your personal life, as if it somehow will give a special power in a wrestling contest.
[Armstrong takes a swig of water with a disgusted look on his face, he then throw the water bottle to the ground and throws his hands up in the air]
That is what we are having on Suspense right? A good old fashioned wrestling contest, a physical competition, an exertion of will and strength. This isn't channel 3 at noon, so you should leave the soap opera where it belongs, because in the ring you are facing an expertly trained human being, who doesn't have the overly dramatic distractions, a human being who isn't a character acting for the television and giving long dramatic pauses. I am a human being trained in combat.
[Armstrong walks up to the camera and intensely gazes toward the viewer, and then he begins speaking again]
So you can joke all you want, make references to children's games and toys, meanwhile I will be training for wrestling, not MMA like you seem to think I am a wannabe in, but wrestling, just like I was trained to do over a decade ago, and it just so happens to be the thing you place second when you prepare for a match.
You place first theatrics. You insult the audiences' intelligence by pretending that they went to a stageplay rather that a wrestling contest and not only does it insult them, you are insulting yourself. How many times will you reveal your personal life to these people and pretend they care.
When I get you in the ring I am going to expertly wrestle you, and by wrestle I mean the physical act, and not what you think as theatrics, and I am going to stretch you out, throw you a couple of times and call it night. I am not going to bring my family on camera and I am not going to pretend this isn't a sport. I am just going to wrestle, just like it was intended, and you can take that as you will, but I am going to win.
[Armstrong stares at the camera for a second before picking up his water walking over to Gene near the catering area.]
Armstrong: So, what did you think?
Gene: That was some fine talking you did over there.
Armstrong: I'd rather be in the ring.
Gene: You always want action, but this has a greater purpose.
Armstrong: Oh yeah.
Gene: Yeah! You see, know he knows you mean business, and all the games and the world aren't going to diddly squat.
Armstrong: Whatever you say.
Gene: You'll see when you get him the ring, he'll be nervous, and not only that, but he was practically in shock at the end of his video, that will take its toll on him. He will have all of this stuff beating around in his head, and he won't be able to pay attention to the beating you're giving him!
Armstrong: Good point Gene, let's get the gym.
Gene: Now that's the spirit.
[Armstrong and Gene walk from the building and the scene starts to fade to the nCw logo before it fades to black.]
