"Scanning the surface of the nCw, the heroes and villains can be seen readily - or can they? The convicted killers are cheered, yes, but the ones who stand up for what is right are sometimes lumped into the same category. Those the fans cheer show no mercy towards someone who might be injured. Those who go through tables or get caught in barbed wire are labeled weaklings because they aren't the ones who are putting people into those same situations.
Followers of this business are fickle. If you're not innovating a new move, they hate you. If you're not breaking someone's bones or defeating the hired goons of a mystery opponent, the people really don't appreciate you. It's funny, really; seems like the people who visit my site and the smart marks out there must have finally gotten through to the crowds. People are cheering me.
I haven't done anything different. My opponents have changed; my choice of prey has managed to finally trickle in from those I once called "ally" or "comrade." It makes perfect sense to me, though it confuses many others. Why is Ricky Johnson suddenly taking on Jackhammer ? Why is Ricky Johnson taking on Prophet?
I'm doing the right thing, that's why.
They're wrong. Their very existence is wrong. Their goals worry me; Prophet has hurting people for a longtime. He's continuing to use the same move that they'd had before to fell their opponents. Had I not intervened, there can be an argument that they would have tired to kill . As I stated in an interview on both Prophet and Jackhammer, I don't condone killing. I condone violence, but never killing. Life is precious in my opinion. I may have preserved one more soul's mortal shell.
As far as Jackhammer goes, I think that a law should be passed about people like that. Stupidity is dangerous, even in the hands of a professional like Jackhammer. Truthfully, I can't stand ignorance in any form; it annoys me. Jackhammer got under my skin and crawled around...
…I'm not doing anything differently. The crowd coming against me has changed, nothing more. I still feel no pity for those who lose to me, no remorse for what I do. I don't feel sorry for anything I've done in the past, save for the incident with Lance and my ex-wife. That story's been done, time and again. I'll save you the trouble by not repeating it.
Want proof of my claims? Watch me fight Prophet and Jackhammer this Sunday. I'll be cheered for beating them because they're someone the fans hate. I'll be cheered for doing something never done: holding the tag team titles high above my head. Wait u. Watch me get cheered time and again by the fans when I come face to face with Prophet, or Jackhammer. They love me when I'm fighting someone they hate. How's the old saying go?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
How very, very true."

Ricky: Seems that times are tough for those who oppose me. I will made no exception this Sunday night when John Anthony and myself down the rag-tag tandem of Lethal Intent. John and I worked extremely well for our first time last week, and defeated Jackhammer and Mr. Showtime. As much as I want to take credit for the win, I cannot, John came through when he was needed. And he will have to do so again to accomplish our ultimate goal: The Tag Team titles. Many have wondered why I even chose John, after I won the battle royal, and Jackhammer rode my coattails. I chose John because I see what he can't. His drive and potential are enormous. He hasn't even peaked yet.
I turned down Jack Manson, Trent Helms, and others because I want John to share in the glory. He has been an underachiever in nCw for a while. I took him to the next level. And now, that level will stop at tag team gold. He cannot fail now. I have seen the flashes, as have all of you. I know what he is capable of. But he knows as well as anyone, potential doesn't win championships. And John knows, much like any championship won, or earned, cannot be taken away from you. We will earn this championship because John wants to. And I need to.
[Quick image check, Ricky has a black motorcycle jacket, black "punisher" skull t-shirt, black jeans, and black combat boots.]
Ricky: I not singing John's praises just yet, because the big test is coming up and he knows what he must do. But what about me? I'm the biggest threat to Lethal Intent in this match. Jackhammer doesn't worry me so much, but Dark Prophet is another story. It's almost like Christmas. I want to see exactly what I'm going to get from Mr. Prophet. I want him to show me. I'm not cocky or arrogant, I want to know. Because I know so little about him.That's not to say that I know nothing about Prophet. He was the Xtreme champion, but all that means to me is he can use sticks, rocks, chairs, tables and stuff any buffoon can use. It makes me think less of a person when they can fight with weapons, but are defenseless when it's man to man. But I forgot that you have back-up.
[Ricky scoffs at his opponents.]
Ricky: Hammer, don't make me laugh by telling me I don't know what I'm in for. I'm in for the same thing I was in for last week. Your primal moves, limited skills, and overpowering stench. You're really good at power moves, and you're strong. Am I missing anything? Can you apply a omo-plata? Do you know what a Darse is? There both submission holds. But with your limited Brian functions. I'm not really surprised. Let me make one thing perfectly clear Hammer. You're not tough, you're just a big, dumb, slow, clumsy oaf that needs to be knocked from his perch of imaginary success. You're the one who didn't make this easy. All you had to do, was get eliminated. Just exit the ring gracefully. But no, you had to hang on, pull me out with you. It's all your fault what happens at Picture Perfect, not mine. And to make matters worse, you brought Dark Prophet in to share your pain. It's almost as sad as when you were my dead weight partner. I didn't make the save in that match to teach you, that you were over matched. You had no business in there with the Ace, and boy did it show.You can review the tape, Hammer, I tried, but in the end, I knew I was on a losing team.
[Ricky waves to an unseen person and enter Roxi.]
Ricky: Now, I know that Lethal Intent has a third member in Mark Evil, who I disposed of a few weeks ago. That's why Roxi is here today. Now I told her that I did not want her coming to the ring anymore, but with that pesky Mark Evil around, I can't have him ruining my fun. That's why, for the last time, Roxi will be watching my back at Picture Perfect. Now Mark, I don't want to say that she is looking for a fight, but this is probably the last time Roxi will be in a nCw arena. She obviously wants to go out with a bang.
[Image flash on Roxi: A white tank-top and tight blue jeans. Her hair is tied back into a pony-tail and held in place with a headband.]
Roxi: Mark, please interfere, I want to break your face.
Ricky: Seems like being shot didn't stop her Mark. I don't see where you are superior to a bullet.
[Ricky shows Roxi the exit.]
Ricky: Lethal Intent, you will not stop me. John Anthony and myself are going to be a cohesive unit and end your little run. I've even going to take part in one of John's "training sessions". As bad as that's going to be. But, that's not to say I don't want John to succeed. It's called "tough love". But I digress. Lethal Intent, you are the new age John Connor, trying to stop the inevitable. It should have been me winning the battle royal, but you interfered. Like a certain Governor once said: You didn't stop it, you merely postponed it. It's not Judgment day though, it's simply...DESTINY.
But I plan to win, I'm the one you want. I'm the threat.
Forget about John...
Exactly what we want.
