I'll lay me down and bleed a while,
And then I'll rise and fight again."

Ricky - You know, just when I think that my opponents for this oh-so-important match couldn't possibly be any dumber. I am again, proven wrong. Will Washington, I know I already said my piece on you, but this last promo was just a case of life-threatening idiocy. So, I cut a methaphorical promo in Iraq. And you are upset because I went there? Why? Just to be mad? You sound so stupid, maybe I was right about my first assumption of you. I didn't say anything bad about the troops. Hell, I make an annual visit here. And they don't seem to upset when I do. Do you make a trip there? Didn't think so. I didn't lie about Iraq. There are buildings that are destroyed. There is devestation. And there are miserable people. So, that's means one of two things. 1) You were NEVER in the military, because if you were, you would know I was speaking the truth. Or 2) You really have lost your grip on reality. So, what thee hell are you mad about? You just may be the dumbest man on the planet. You are knuckle-dragging mouth breather. Do you think for one second that you impress anyone with being in the miltary? No, you don't. Because it's people like you, who tell the tall tales about this war, yet you know nothing. Hell, you probably don't know that you pretty much are a war criminal. You were just looking for a reason to be angry. Well, are you angry enough yet? Did I disrespect you enough yet? Well here's more: You are a NOBODY in this company. How in the hell you beat Xavier Williams, I'll never know. You don't deserve to be in this match, PERIOD. And you know it. You have won a handful of matches against nobodies.
Oh wait, Paul Star won you a tag match last week. You should be very proud.
Will, I know that you really think that you're some kind of warrior, and that's all well and good, but the bottom line is, you are not an infantry. You are one man, and a pathetic one at that. The United States Military is the best trained in the world, and yet, you lose matches. I would think that someone with military training would be ready for any scenario. But I guess you're not. On Sunday, I will show you just how prepared I am. When I tear you apart in the coliseum. But since you think I'm taking this match "likely", whatever the hell that means, I going to show you exactly what happens to people in this match. I going to make it a personal mission of mine to humiliate you in this match. I have always had a shade of respect for the people I wrestle. Even John Anthony, who I retired. Even Jason Lovegun, who I put on the shelf. I respected those men.
I don't respect you. I HATE you. You should consider yourself lucky that there are laws in this world that prevent me from you out of the gene pool. You are living proof we shouldn't let first cousins marry. You are one of the reasons I wished we really believed in evolution. Because this match for you, will be a prime example. You are the weakest person in this match. No one is looking at you as a threat, they've already said their piece on you. Most of them saved me for last. Even you did. You can that it was a mistake, but you know the truth, even if you can't admit it. I cannot wait to stare across at your beedy eyes. I can't wait to watch you bleed. And I can't wait to send you packing, back down into the depth of obscurity where you belong.
{Ricky composes himself.}
Ricky - Now, Kris, Zane, Paul, and AJ. I'm sorry for that last outburst. I just show the child that this is a grown up game. Now, let's move on.
{Ricky eases up off the ropes.}
Ricky - Let me start the real trash talk with AJ. Well Mr Jacobsen, it seems that you were wrong. But I see that's not new for you. But I can see that I was wrong about you. I figured you'd have more fire than this. All you can say is...well..again...that I shouldn't slip. You said that once before AJ. Running out of material? Since your whole "He cheated on his wife" theory is out the window, what have you got? "Hey, don't slip up" Laughable AJ. Truly Laughable. I would think that a former X-Division champion, a man who clearly knows how to win titles, would know better than to leave an opponent any opportunity. But I forget, you lost that belt to...who again? Paul Star? Ha. You expect me to take you as a serious threat to my victory? You are truly the most amusing man in this match. I can even count Washington or Star, they're not amusing, they're stupid. Zane and Bates were obviously dropped as babies. But you. I expected more from you.
I took you as perhaps the most serious opponent in this match. A guy with nothing to lose. You have the shot. You have blown it. But, you blow as a wrestler anyway. Are you some kind of submission specialist? Do you even know any submissions? I've never seen you win any matches with one. What's that move you have? Lock and Dam? Do you even know how to apply a submission hold? Or is that just a fancy name for a suplex? Wait, that's the "hat trick" real original. You were doing all that talking..incorrectly I might add, about their being 206 bones in the body, but You don't know how to break any. Have you seen the list of victims I've choked out? Have you seen the two "I Surrender" matches I've had? I know how to submit people. And when you are in my way, because I know you'll find a way to get there, I will put you out of commision.
Andrew, you and your drunken, disgusting, viking-sized girlfriend there can have all the drunken make-out sessions you want. But understand one thing, Andy, I will hurt you this Sunday. You'd best be paying attention in this match. I want you on the watch for me this Sunday. I want you to make sure you know where I am at all times. Because all it will take is one instant. And you will fade away, from the match, and from contention.
{Ricky slumps down into the corner.}
Ricky - I suppose I should put on a sad face when I mention Paul Star. Where is he? I don't think he gets it. No matter, When I show him that his shallow victory over me in a tag match was nothing but, he'll just go away like he has now. Next.
{Ricky grabs a bottle of water conviently places nears the edge of the ring. He takes a swig and continues.}
Ricky - So now, we come to Kristoff Liam Bates. The man who most recently refered to himself as an "Uberman" Really? I have to give him credit since he said that with a straight face. There is not one thing that Kristoff Liam Bates has said or done that makes me worried in this match. His theory of my copying him, like AJ's theory are all but destroyed. Since I didn't cheat on Roxi, I am not copying you. But what's interesting is that people stood up and took notice when all of this "cheating" stuff was going around. But not when you did it. When I was rumored to be doing it. Even a rumor about me is more intersting that the truth about you. You know why Bates? Because what I do, matters. I don't make a move, unless it's calculated. But you and Zane, you guys want to be infamous don't you? Dispite not fully understanding that term, I know that it won't stop you from trying. So, I have to give you credit for your determination.
But, it's all going to be for nothing.
Do you honestly expect to win this match Bates? Because it seems like AJ, you can't trash talk me. You can only speculate and be jealous. That's right, you're jealous. You are jealous because I'm the most decorated champion in nCw history, and I didn't need a silly "I look normal, but I'm really insane" gimmick to do it. I didn't need a gimmick to win my titles, and I don't need one now. Now, if you want to talk about titles, and how you supposedly "handed" me this Xtreme title. I have earned every title I've ever won, and I did it, because I'm good. I'm better than my opponents. Did I ask for your help Bates? No. I didn't need it. You seemed to have a problem with Atreyu and Nelly Angel. It seems you have a priorities problem. Because, little did you know, you unwilling and undeservedly became a part of history.
You attacked Atreyu and Nelly, and what did it get you? Nothing. Nothing but another Ricky Johnson title reign. And now, you have an opportunity to rectify that at the Coliseum. But you won't. Because you can't. Literally. You can't. My Xtreme title isn't on the line. But a much bigger goal is: That nCw world title shot, one that you will not be getting any time soon. Because it's mine. It's mine to win. All you will be, once again, is a witness to history. When I use you, the rest of Infamous, and the rest of the pretenders in the Coliseum match as my personal stepping stone to the top. You don't have what it takes Bates, and you know it. I sure hope that you are better at losing then you are at insults, because "a tool who doesn't deserve the Xtreme title" isn't going to cut it.
{Ricky takes a moment to stand, and continues}
Ricky - That sure was long winded. None the less the Coliseum match is this Sunday. All of my words will ring true this Sunday, and there is nothing that any of you five simpletons can do about it. Prove me wrong, boys. Please I implore you. I can honestly say I sincerly hope that all of your actions will speak louder than your words. Because aside from Will, none have you have anything important or memorable to say. Coinsidence? I think not. But in the long run, none of this will matter. When I step into the Coliseum I have a goal. It's not just to win, it's to DOMINATE. It's what I've been doing for the time here in nCw. I have held every single title in nCw title, except for the world title. Part of the reason, is that I've never had a chance to win it.
Now I've got my chance. And I'll be damned if any of you will stop me. But so I can put to rest the other stupid idea that you all seem have. I'm going to show you how prepared I am.
{Cue the montage! Ricky is shown beating the hell out of 5 other guys at once. Kick, punches, suplexes, slams, takedowns, submissions, chairshots, sticks, rocks, almost nothing in Ricky's arsenal isn't used.}
Ricky - That proof enough?
{The montage ends. Roxi has now joined Ricky. She's outside, while he's inside the ring.}
Roxi - You look ready.
Ricky - I am.
Roxi - This is a chance of a lifetime.
Ricky - I know.
Roxi - I want you to know, I'll be with you every step of the way.
Ricky - Thank you.
{Her head drops, she sighs.}
Ricky - You okay?
Roxi - This has been a difficult couple of weeks.
Ricky - I know, but it's all starting over come Sunday.
Roxi - You're that confident?
Ricky - Of course, why wouldn't you win that nCw women's title?
Roxi - That's not what I meant.
Ricky - I know, just trying to cheer you up.
Roxi - So..
Ricky - You and I have been through so much, there will no longer be denying us. We will get what we always wanted. A women's title run, and for me, just one thing. Just a chance to win the nCw world championship.
{She nods.}
Ricky - Come here.
{She enters the ring.}
Ricky - We stand before today, stronger than ever. There is no one person, place, or thing that can come between me, and her. If you try to stop what has been put in motion, you will end up sorely regretting it.
Roxi - Our love and determination is stronger than anyone one force on the planet. We, together, will not be denied.
Ricky - Every single time I'd have a shot to win a title, I've won it. I got my first title shot against Milo Holland, and I beat him. I got my first X-division tag title shot against Shaun Wilson. And I beat him. John Anthony and myself, got our first title shot at the nCw titles against Jackhammer and Dark Prophet, and we won. And, I got my first title shot at the Xtreme/Honor championship when I faced both Nelly Angel and Atreyu. And I beat them.
Roxi - I was the first woman to wrestle in nCw. And the first to wrestle a man.
Ricky - We've accomplished a lot together. And no one will deny us what we are now on the verge of getting. Not anyone.
Roxi - No one, and nothing.
Ricky - I suggest you all fully understand what's about the happen in nCw. the balance of power is about to shift. And it's not going to either of the two douchebags who lack reading comprehension. It's not going to the guy with a drunk viking for a girlfriend, it's not going to a imiatator. But most importantly, it's not going to a piece of human trash who's life expentency just dropped dramatically for pissing me off. It's going to me.
Roxi - I hope your ready.
Ricky - I suppose it's like a deck of cards. Bates and Zane are the 10 of clubs, and diamonds. Pretty strong, but easily trumped. AJ is the Jack, a bit higher, but nothing in hindsight. Paul is the Queen, for obvious reason. Make your own joke. And Will, he's the Joker. He doesn't matter in just about any game. Me, I'm the Ace. I'm what you call on to get the job done. And I'm going all in.
My name is Ricky Johnson and I am a champion.
{They hug. We fade.}
===========================================================
See I know and you know that we ready
Let's go while I roll in my Chevy
Well I can see you wanna break me
And I can feel you wanna bring me down
First you gotta make me
Won't be easy coming in my town
Cause everybody in my city wanna be number one
They'll be only one that's standing at the end of this run 'cause
We ready
We ready
We ready
We ready
Because I'm a Champion
And I move like a Champion
Whoever will be a Champion
Born to be a Champion
Ain't nobody that can stop me
I'm seeing this **** through
If I want it I'ma get it
There's nothing I won't do
Man my focus is ridiculous
Strategy so meticulous
Relentless if I'm comin to get it
You best move to the side
Math the Piper don't hesitate
He just ride
Heart of a lion with the fire in my eyes
Push it until it shuts down
I'm the last man standin
With cannon like what now
And I'm on it
They should've never let us in
Payback and revenge
It's the beginning of the end
Yousa gonner
And as sure as the sun sets
If we ain't won yet,
then we ain't done yet
