The setting comes into view as Jericho is just leaving a hotel. He looks around and he doesn't quite find what he was looking for. He sits on the curb and he shakes his head. As he sits there, you can take in all sorts of sounds of the city that surrounds him. You can hear the motors of cars roaring through the streets, you can hear the roar of buses traveling throughout the streets as well. Plenty of city life going on around him. He sits there and he pulls out a cigarette from his right pocket and he lights it up. He takes a quick puff and he then exhales and begins speaking to the camera that is near him...
Jericho: Malik, Malik.. Do you have any idea of the world that you are stepping into? To me, it seems like the story of a little rich boy being bored, not realizing what he has gotten himself into. You say alot of big things Malik. Things that I am not sure if you can quite back up. You say that I wish I was you.. That statement couldn't be any more wrong than it already is. Why?.. Why would I want to be you? Because of money? Money can't buy a person what he truly desires and it certainly won't buy you a win on Karnage or a win any other time unless you really want it.
I won't make a silly claim that I am richy rich. I can live in luxary, but I choose not to. I have fancy things, but I don't go around blatantly saying that I am someone I am not. I can afford the finer things in life, such as a limo.. Which is ofcourse late, being my luck. My luck will be chaning at Karnage though Malik and no one, not even you will stop me from winning and tasting victory. I don't need to be you Malik and I don't even want to be anything like you for that matter. I am me and you will see just who I am at Karnage tonight.
Just then, a big slick black limo pulls around the corner and comes towards Jericho. Jericho gets up from the curb and he doesn't look happy that he had to sit and wait for his limo. The limo driver emerges from the vehicle and comes around to the back of the limo and opens the door for Jericho. Jericho goes to get in, but decides to say something to the driver.
Jericho: Hey, you were late.. I don't pay you to be late. I pay you to be on time and that is just what I expect from you. Don't let it happen again.
Jericho gets into the limo and the limo driver shuts the door. The limo driver goes back around and hops back into the driver seat from once he came. The limo begins to pull off as the scene cuts to inside the limo with Jericho. The interior of the limo is very nice black and white.. A very nice amount of elegance. There is a glass of champaigne waiting for him. He gulps down the glass of champaigne in no time. He then eyes the bottle and grabs it. Jericho then opens the bottle and starts to drink out of it. After he is content with the amount he has drank, He puts the bottle off to the side and begins speaking right where he left off.
Jericho: You see Malik, I can enjoy these expenses, but it's when people let you down. Money, can ultimately let you down and it certainly can't buy you happiness. It can buy you a hooker in the back of an alleyway, but it can't buy you love.. If you get my drift of things. Anyway, that isn't the point that I am making tonight. Tonight isn't about that, it's about our matchup and the words that you had to say isn't it? Isn't that why we're here in the first place? So, you already want a titleshot?
You have to earn a title shot and to do so, you have to be able to run with the big boys and you've got to be able to win over one on guys like me. Guys that will beat you everytime unless you raise that bar just a tiny bit more higher than I raise mine. Right now Malik, your bar is set low and you really need to raise it up to win matches. I am not trying to bring you down, but you've got to do harder than that to pull one over on me.
I've been in this business long enough to know that you can't expect to win everytime and you can't go around expecting big things to happen for yourself unless you put in the work and bring it home. You state that I have no idea what I am getting myself into, that I should just quit now while I am ahead. I think you may be on some drugs or perhaps thinking a little too high and mighty of one's self am I right? Get off your horse Malik, you've got to be able to back up every word you say and I really think that you will be eating your words come Karnage. You sing the same chorus line that every wrestler ever has sung.. "I am the greatest thing ever and I am going to beat you no matter what".
Jericho hits the bottle again and downs a few more gulps of the champaigne. You can see the bubbles travel to the top of the liquid as he gulps it down gradually. He then places it back down beside him and he wipes the residue off his lips with his sleeve. Jericho is wearing a rather nice black and white classic suit tonight. Alot different style than he usually would wear. Probably showing Malik Logan that he knows how to be proper when he wants to be. Jericho doesn't seem done ripping Malik a new one.. He keeps on continuing...
Jericho: If you really are expecting to have an undefeated streak, starting with our match at Karnage, I would seriously re-think that goal really fast because I really doubt you've got that in you Malik, unless you've got something unexpected up your sleeve that I don't know about and even then, still don't think that you've got it in you. "Oh but i've been this and that champion over here and over there", that doesn't mean anything to me Malik. Your past experience is not your present experience. You've never faced someone quite like me and you really chewed off more than you could ever imagine, and I think you'll soon realize that. Whatever titles you've held onto or whatever you've managed to accomplish, it doesn't matter in our matchup.
The number one rule in this business is that you do not underestimate your opponent and man, if you didn't underestimate me. Another thing Malik, I don't need to know how to wrestle and I don't need a book from no richy rich whos opinion is that I need to learn. I will prove to you and everyone else that I know how to wrestle and then some. I'm going to send something to you as well Malik.. It's called my boot in your face. Be sure to take it all okay? It will be a good wake up call for you. Maybe it will unscramble those brains of yours.
Overall Malik Logan, we'll meet in that ring tonight and we will see what happens. We will lay our words to rest and we will do battle against one another. No money, no fancy high living, none of that bullshit. Just straight wrestling and we will see who needs to learn a thing or two about wrestling. It's put up or shut up time Malik, and I think I know who's shutting up...
The scene slowly fades to a close
