HD: Leon promo

[King Cucaracha 0]

COLE
And right now we'd like to thank all of our great fans in Puerto Rico for coming out and joining us at AngleSlam. We had a great time in the sunny surroundings of San Juan and will be back for live arena dates in January 2009, more information on tickets available at OAOAST.com. And the OAOAST television cameras will be back in... hang on, what? 

Cole's shilling is brought to an end, as LEON RODEZ appears walking past the side of the ring.

COLE
Oh great.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Making his way over to the timekeeper's table, The Fallen Idol motions for somebody to give him a microphone. After staring down Cole and Coach and making sure he's got complete quiet, Leon stands scowling into the camera, 

LEON
I'm sure you're all expecting me to come out here tonight and beg, plead for another shot at the OAOAST World Title. Infact that's probably what you're hoping for. To see me humbled and denigrated?

"YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

LEON
Well you're going to have to find some other lab rat to draw your sick pleasure from. Because as it turns out, I don't need to beg. And I don't need to plead. Your World Champion has already done that for me. Seems she wants another match with me. The champion desperate to face her challenger. What a novel concept.

"KRIS - TA!"
"KRIS - TA!"
"KRIS - TA!"
"KRIS - TA!"

Shouted down by the chants, Leon is forced to pause, looking out of the corner of his eye at the fans.

LEON
As someone who's spent years of his life living as a glutton for punishment, I know your pain Krista. Unfortunately, it's not the pain I want you to feel. It's not the pain you [i]deserve[/i] to feel. The pain your [i]deserve[/i] to feel was the pain you felt when I took that steel chair...

Reaching out, Leon unfolds a chair, holding it up with a hand.

LEON
...and I jammed the edge right into your esophagus. That was the pain of all of your words and all of your insults you've dished out over the years clogging up your throat, leaving you gasping for every last waste of breath you consume. See, Sunday night, I only got half of what I wanted. I didn't get back what you stole from me. But I gave you a taste of my pain. So if you want another match with me so bad, so badly want 'revenge', a lopsided honour system if I ever saw one. If that's what you want, you've got it. But it'll be on my terms.

Leon puts the chair aside.

LEON
You see, all these weeks since my eyes finally opened to the world around me, I've been called a lot of things. Mainly by people who's eyes I was opened too. I've been called 'troubled'. 'Changed'. 'A loner'. Apparantly, my view on the world isn't popular. Unshared. But this? I'm FAR from the only one who feels the way I do at this moment, Krista. Sometimes, we all reap what we sow in this life. Those who are victims are so because they bring it on themselves by letting it happen. Those who are successful bring it on themselves, by stepping on people too stupid to realise they're victims. Like I used to be. And those who are hated are hated for a reason. All these years of domination, Krista. All these years of stepping on people. You've got a lot to show for it. Money. Fame. Accolades. A beautiful house... two beautiful daughters... a beautiful partner... and behind those curtains, a slew of enemies.

"KRIS - TA!"
"KRIS - TA!"
"KRIS - TA!"
"KRIS - TA!"

LEON
We all have enemies in this business. Every person in that locker room is hunting you down because you're the World Champion. But I'm not talking about that. There's so many people who simply want to see you suffer for the damage you've caused to their lives and their careers. These fans might love you. But behind those cheers, you are despised by so many. And you've brought it all on yourself. Years and years of "being Krista". That sooner or later was always going to catch up on you.

Leon's eyes narrow, almost able to manage a smile.

LEON
Krista, I want you to think. Think of all the people you've hurt in your career. Think of all the times you've embarrassed someone. Think of all the times that you've lead all of these sick sheep in one of your little witchhunts, pitchforks in hand, laughing and goading and spitting on somebody and only stopping when you've completely broken their spirit!! Think about them! Because at Zero Hour, when you defend your World Title against me again, that ring is going to be [i]surrounded[/i] by all of those people who you've made enemies of. All those people who want to see you broken, just like I do. They're all going to be there. Because if you really want another match with me, it's going to be a Lumberjack Match. And I'm going to handpick all the lumberjacks. And I'll only chose those who have the same need and desire to watch your career and your hold over these fans DIE in front of our very eyes. Only those who hate you the most are going to be waiting for you if you step so much as a foot out of that ring. And I'll bet there's going to be a LONG queue of people lined up to be there. Because at Zero Hour, I will take your title. I will inflict my pain. And then the time will come for you to answer for all the wrongs you've commited. I don't believe in a heaven anymore... but I believe in a hell... because I'm going to drag you there and watch you burn myself!

Dropping the microphone, Leon looks around at the booing crowd, before stalking off.

COLE
Wow. We thought we hadn't seen the last of Leon and Krista... and how right we were. But after hearing that, Krista's days as the Krista we've come to know may well be numbered.
