[The scene opens up to Xavier Lee sitting on a chair backstage, watching the Josh Burks promo. He has an intense look on his face and he is stooped over, watching carefully.]
[Lee sits up and turns to the camera.]
"Ahh, my opponent. Joshua Burks. He was absent for quite a while and now he's back, claiming to have changed. But has he changed for the better or for the worse?"
"'The Nice Guy', he calls himself. Haven't you learned by now that however nice you are means absolutely nothing? Not to speak in cliched phrases, but nice guys finish last, Josh. If you ever want to regain your former stature, rise to your former success, you have to want it above all else. Your stupid desire to be a 'nice guy' will get you nowhere, as we've seen with your past comebacks. You claim to be a changed man... If by changed you mean that you've putting on a nice image while rotting and becoming useless inside, you may be right."
"You bring up the struggle of powers between EWA and SCW... EWA currently has nearly twice the members of SCW. But do you see them on top? Does one of their men hold the insignificant strap of gold and leather that at some point held prestige, honor and meaning? No. I hold it, and I hold the true title, the highest honor in wrestling itself... The SCW Title. And I am in Shadow Corporation Wrestling."
[Lee grabs the dusty old EWA title off a desk nearby and looks at it. He drops it on the floor and grabs the shiny cold steel of the SCW title, draping it over his shoulder.]
"I assure you, no man can manipulate me. Not you, not HeXsTer, not even Shadowgeist. I am here by my own will, fighting to destroy the ignorance and stupidity that EWA represents and replace it with the honor and glory of SCW. Shadowgeist holds little power over me. I see us as near equals... Shadowgeist is the co-owner of SCW/EWA, the non-wrestling leader of the SCW group. I am the dominating SCW/EWA champion, crushing the EWA and all those that oppose the growth of SCW. I handle much of the physicality. That isn't saying the Shadow couldn't step in the ring himself... Quite the contrary. But I represent SCW, I am the epitome of all that SCW stands for. You, just like countless others, will fall and run back to seclusion with your tail between your legs... Perhaps you'll disappear again and "become a man"."
"How can you claim to have the same strengths I have? I am one of the top members of SCW, I am the SCW and even EWA champion; I have unmatched technical skill and pure wrestling ability. I am willing to put my body on the line constantly to dominate the world. I am everything that you are not."
"When was the EWA ever desperate for people to fight for it? As I've said, on paper it seems to have more than enough to successfully fight SCW. Ryan Pinscher. The Remnant, Angel... McKenzie. JB Fayte. Matt Hawthorne. Even the co-owner HeXsTeR. And we have loners that could help or hinder either side. But has SCW been hindered by all this power? No. EWA, I guess you could say... Are like the New York Rangers. Or the New York Yankees. On paper, they look great. But they just can't get the damn job done."
[Lee grins.]
"Josh, you constantly use the word 'if', for that is the key. If is a very vague word; in this case it is just to get your hopes up, to fight the part of your mind that knows the the inevitable will happen. EWA will crumble down, and SCW will stand tall. Joshua Burks will be left limp and bleeding, and Xavier Lee will stand tall and triumphant. This feud will be one for the ages. This fight will be a classic. Just remember that the reign of SCW will not end. The fall of EWA is inevitable. Try your hardest, you will fail. See you on Sunday."
[Lee stands up and fastens the SCW title around his waist. He then walks off-camera as the view fades to black.]
