[Mystery Eskimo 0]

----------

As we return, we're in the ring with Mean Gene Okerlund! Gene has someone with him. It's Dan Black, in a snappy dark blue suit. He looks serious as ever.

 

GENE

I'm standing by with one Daniel Maximus Black, who at Angleslam last Sunday was betrayed by Stephen Joseph Popick. Dan, what do you have to say about it?

 

Dan smoothes back his dark hair, before speaking with remarkable calmness.

 

BLACK

Well Gene, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised with what happened. Popick's always been out for himself. I just made the mistake of believing he could also be out for the OAOAST.

 

And you know, I don't even blame him. No doubt he's had his head turned by whatever GPX and Drek Stone have to say for themselves. I got distracted by my desire to rub out those little toerags, and Popick was able to take advantage. Now, as I say, I don't blame the man. But my pride is hurt. I was made to look foolish.

 

So next week, on HeldDown, I am making a challenge to Mr Stephen to meet me in the ring, one on one, with no run-ins from his new pals, no interference - just a match to show that I am the better man, that I always have been. We've met many times before, Stevie. We beat each other all over the initial days of this company, all over IntenseZone. But you're looking at very different Dan Black today. There's no stupid Eskimo gimmick. There's no mindless, directionless angst. These days I know who I am, and I know what I can do. And that is break - your - neck.

 

Dan smiles. A rare sight.

 

GENE

There you have it ladies and gentlemen - Dan Black laying down a challenge to Stephen Joseph for next week! He's in a determined mood, and I hope Mr Popick is ready to accept! Back to you, Sofa Central!

 

AWWW NAWWWW!!!

 

COLE

Stephen Joseph is coming out!

 

Crowd: BOOOOO!!!!

 

AWW NAWW

HELL NAW

BOY YALL UP N DONE IT!

 

Stephen Joseph w/ the Geeee Peeeee X steps out from behind the mythical curtain, so to speak. Stephen's got a microphone and is primed for a response, as he, Johnny, and Scotty walk towards Dan.

 

Stephen Joseph

You question my allegiance to the OAOAST Dan? You're the one holding on and preventing the company from evolving. You're like ohhh Kevin Nash, or Triple H...maybe you think you're more like Mr. HeartBreak Kid, come to save the day from all the young green wannabes.

 

It's time to wake up and smell the roses Dan. You're right, I am a selfish son of a bitch. BUT YOU CAUSED THIS. I cared about YOU, about Zack, about all you guys at one time. But no, YOU ABANDONED ME, you all did. You caused me to learn that I could only look out after myself...And Puerto Rican Lightning.

 

Don't get me wrong. I'm not with the Upstarts because I think they're good guys. They're not. I'm with them for two reasons. One, because unlike the Originals, THEY HAVEN'T SCREWED ME OVER YET. and Two, It's what's best for the OAOAST. I guess I could throw in a 3rd reason that you Originals, at every step of the way in that booking room you call the "Glass Ceiling", have refused to give Puerto a run, nay a shot, at a World Title he deserves to have more than quite a few guys that have recently gotten a run.

 

So Dan, Tell your boys in the back, that I didn't turn on them. YOU turned on me. Chew on that one sunshine for the next week. You challenge is accepted, and I'm going to do to you what I did at AngleSlam.

 

And what do I always say?

 

Johnny

And that's the Truth Ruth?

 

Scotty

And that's the Fact Jack?

 

Stephen Joseph

What the? ....

 

NO!

 

Fuck me!

 

FUCK YOU DAN!

 

Stephen Joseph slams down the mic in righteous disgust, as himself, Johnny and Scotty back up the ramp slowly.
