SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR DESTRUCTION: "The Marching Song Of Fiach MacHugh" by Cruachan

*We open backstage, where Anna Bowie has found "The Predator," alone in the locker room.*

....Where's Shaelin?

She's visiting some family. And I was just about to leave. So if you want this conversation to continue, you're going to have to follow me.


ELSEWHERE:

*We open in a pub in Ireland. It's empty save for a scruffy individual sitting at the bar. His face is obscured by his head hanging over his beer as another individual walks in.*

Mourning something?

"And a fine good mornin' to ya too."

*Shaelin takes the barstool next to him.*

Sorry you missed the wedding.

"Ya know there's a good reason for that."

Which I wish I had been told of sooner.

"If I were my brother, I wouldn't be wantin' my family to find out that their uncle was in Real IRA either."

*This gets only a sigh.

And then silence.*



BACK TO RICHLEN:

*We cut to a part of Dublin that seems to have been abandoned for quite some time. Methinks we've been here before.

Anyhoo.

It is there that we find Anna and Richlen. The latter has a black denim jacket on as he exits the rental car.*

I suppose you wonder why I brought you out here.

Yes. Yes I am.

*He looks over the scene, sighs, and begins:*

There was a shooting here thirty years ago. The police and military went looking for IRA members and got ambushed. All but one of those IRA members were killed. The one that didn't never fired a shot, but they still sent him away until a few years ago.

That man is Shaelin's uncle.


*Anna's jaw drops in shock.*




BACK AT THE BAR:

"Hear you're havin' some problems lately."

I wouldn't call it that. We've been wanting to get our hands on them for a while now. And now we got it.

*He turns his head to look at her, revealing his stubble-infested face and the bags under his eyes.*

"I don't think ya understand. Sometimes wantin' the fight isn't the same as gettin' it. I found that out the hard way. Chase down the Devil, an' sometimes he catches ya."

*Shaelin does a poor job of hiding her eye roll.*

I know that, but there's just one thing: We've already chased the Devil and caught him. All we have to do is finish him off.



BACK TO RICHLEN:

*Richlen cannot possibly know what his wife has been telling her uncle. All he knows is that he has told the abridged version of her uncle's story to a still stunned Anna.*

So now you're wondering why I'm telling you all of this. Simple.

For the longest time, we've been on the hunt. We've made it our mission in life to drive the Crew from FIW. But this whole time, there's always been other things that've gotten in the way. For me, it was Nick Riot. For Shaelin, it was her own pursuit of the Hellcats Championship. And for us combined, it was NBE.

But now, the path is cleared. And wouldn't you believe it, the Crew cleared it for us.

After Shaelin, who will always be better than that delusional idiot Xenia no matter what the latter may claim I might add, and I retained the tag titles, Kim Coulter made the worst mistake of her life. She gave us exactly what we wanted.

And now we have another lovely opportunity to humiliate the Crew again.


You say that even despite the fact that Krueger believes he already has the Wolves' number-

*Richlen just chuckles.*

Everyone thinks that until we take their heads off. Xenia certainly thought that, and she had to get bailed out by Mercedes because Shaelin had her ready to tap. Krueger and Gray thought that until Krueger lost the belts right back to us. And now the loser, saying that because Gray will try to get nitpicky again if I point out he lost the damn match too, somehow thinks that with a different teammate that he's going to take these from us again? Not a fuckin' chance, Anna. Not. A. Fucking. Chance.

Obviously, it has to have come to your attention that Caleb Claudel is the one who will be teaming with Krueger, and it must be a shock to you that he'd want anything to do with the Crew.

Not exactly. You see, desperate men do desperate things, and more often than not, desperate men do incredibly stupid things. And deciding to throw his lot in with the condemned will be the worst mistake of Caleb Claudel's life. Not his career. His life. If he thought it was bad enough that his career went straight to hell after the Brick Sharks broke up, he's about to find out just how much worse it will get.

So let me tell you how this is going to go down, Anna. This time, there will be no ambushes, and there will be no Crew members showing up to try to steal these from us. This match is going to be the most humiliating defeat of the Crew's existence. Yes, even more so than every other title they've lost. Because this is not going to be a match, this is going to be annihilation. Claudel is going to beaten to within an inch of his life, every blow reminding him of what happens to Crew members who end up facing the Wolves. And Krueger, who made the mistake of proclaiming just how stupid he truly is by claiming that my wife is only a "part-timer" despite the fact that she's been in this sport as long as I have, is going to suffer the same fate that befell him at the end of ReVolt last week. Only it'll be even worse than last week. Because he's going take such a beating that he'll wish he'd stayed retired.


*All the while he's saying this, Richlen has had the calmest voice possible. Surprising, no?*

But has it crossed your mind that after the torment they've put Claudel through, maybe he's doing this to get back at them, that he's really not on their side after all?

*Ooooooooh, good point, Anna! Question is, will our hero acknowledge that?*

Then he better be ready to do a lot of apologizing and explaining afterwards. Not just to us, either.



BACK TO SHAELIN:


"Well, then ya better have plenty of help. More than I had, anyway. Bastards sold me out quicker than a rabbit runs."

*Another chuckle from Shaelin.*

That's not something we're going to have to worry about. There's enough people who'll back us up.

*She stands up and starts to leave, but then turns around.*

Oh, and Uncle Eamonn?

*He turns his head but says nothing.*

Best to leave some things in the past.

*She exits. Her uncle watches her go, then snorts as he turns back to his drink.*



AND ONCE MORE TO RICHLEN:

This is the same thing we did to get our hands on NBE, Anna: we put in the work and force them to come to our battlefield. Now I suggest you ask NBE how well that went for them. Ask them, and then ask the Crew to be truthful for once about their chances.

You see, they haven't figured us out. We are the riddle that can never be solved. There's no magical solution or eighty to cracking us. But the problem they have now is, we've got them cracked. And now we got them right where we want them.

But this time, we have extra motivation to win.

If they think they're going to take these from us in our motherland, then they're even more delusional than we've all suspected. This is very much home for us, Anna, just as FIW is our home. And nobody invades our home without paying dearly for it. They're not taking away our championships, Anna. They want to do anything about it, they're going to find out it'll never be enough.

Now before we return to the arena, I ask you this, Anna: when they walk into the ring and realize that there are thousands of Irish wolves calling for their blood, how sure of victory do you think a deboned shark and a broken chainsaw are going to be?


*And without waiting for her to answer, he opens the driver's side door and gets in as we fade.*

It’s time to go old school. CGI Studio, desk, Clay ‘Chainsaw’ Krueger. That’s all he ever needed before and all he needs now to dispel the myth of the Alpha Wolves. The room has been set up with a mosaic of the great moments from Clay’s FIW career, all the way from his debut in 2009 to the present day when he held the Tag Title one more time.

Krueger: “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long damn time. I’ve been waiting for this moment since I watched my son defeat you on ReVolt, May 11th, 2016. I knew you were weak from the second that the three count was registered and I wanted a piece. I’ve bided my time, as I always have and only now do you have something I want.

I am a two-time former Dual Crown Champion, something you never will be. I have been the kingpin, the leader of this company. I have been chosen by not only my peers but FIW management to represent them and the irony of it all is that it could happen again tomorrow and not a wrestling fan in the world would bat an eyelid. There is a reason that Stephen J. Eversol call me ‘Boss’, why Joe Stanton calls me the ‘Survivor’, why Nathaniel Alexander and Darian Gray come to me for advice, why Caleb Claudel wants to team with me, why Keith Williams came to me in order to become relevant once again, why James Schwartz came to me in his hour of need.

I am Clay ‘Chainsaw’ Krueger, I am a legend and that is not a word I choose to use lightly.”


He looks around him, the mosaic would certainly suggest so many great moments. His rivalries with the likes of Neo Carner and Drake Love, the Condemned Fetish victory.

Krueger: “I’ve heard accusations that we are similar. Both unbending in our will, both outspoken… but by no means are you and I alike.

Your fans point to the fact you are now a two-time Fighting Spirit Champion and a two-time FIW World Tag Team Champion as if that means something.

What did you ever do as a Champion? I stress in the most forceful terms that winning a Championship is meaningless until you have backed it up with something. All I’ve seen of your times as a Champion is that the wins were flukes. Did you even defend your title any time you’ve ever held one? You levy excuses all you like but we both know that you failed. I succeeded. You failed.

But you will stand and you will pretend like it all still matters, like it is still impressive. I mean, two-time Fighting Spirit Champion? They’re a dime-a-dozen. Do you actually know how many times you’ve ever defended a title successfully in FIW? You’ve done it once, one time. That’s it. One time in your combined one hundred and thirty nine days, four reigns as Champion. If you've only successfully defended a championship once in all that time, in all those reigns...

Could you ever really call yourself a champion?

So when you stand there and you try to understate or even underestimate my ways, because I spend so much time thinking and planning and scheming instead of "living in the moment," you'll forgive if I don't buy your arguments. Your "living in the moment," your desire for some mystical, magical moments have made you one of the more embarrassing competitors in the history of this company. You've been here, but you've nothing to show for it. You're a shooting star, the kind that burn bright and then burns out, but to your credit somehow you keep getting a spark to start the process all over again. That alone makes you an enigma but you've still not proven anything. Not like I have.”


This would be a good moment to highlight an image that has been added to the mosaic, one of Gustav David Richlen wearing this t-shirt. That’s just mean.

Krueger: “There are many on the FIW roster who I really don’t care about, I can’t bring myself to have strong feelings about them either way. But with you, I know why I detest you. It’s the double standards. Mister Mizery interferes in my match and it doesn’t even get a mention from you. Not even a pithy little offhanded remark. The Coulter Crew interfere in your match and that’s a tragedy worthy of being shouted loud from the rooftops. Why are we punished for being like-minded individuals?

We did clear the path to the Coulter Crew for you, you should thank me. How long have you been obsessed with us? For how long have you needlessly spouted our names in your promos? And yet you did nothing about it. Absolutely nothing. If I want a match, I go to the General Manager and demand it. That’s how I got a match with the Alpha Wolves and Caleb Claudel as my mystery partner. I didn’t even need to tell Orion my team, he trusts me. What did you do? Did you ask for a match with us? Did you pound his door down and demand it?

No, you didn’t. You failed your mission because it took me to do something about it.

You kept quiet when management walked past you, save for stupidly running your mouth and criticising them needlessly. A distraction is not Nick Riot. A distraction is not Ninja Blood Explosion. A distraction is a billboard. A distraction is a late night television show delaying your sleep. You didn’t humiliate anybody, aside from yourselves by skewing the facts of the match. Just admit that you needed help to beat me two-on-one.

The irony about all of that is nobody wants your help against the Crew. Orion didn’t want it when he chose his representatives at Rise of a Legend, you’re not Keith Williams type of people, Erik Holland has his own friends and Dream would much rather hang out with the likes of Joe Stanton. Even the FIW Champion Johnny Amazing looks down at you. The one friend you have made? Frank Manson? He’s out the door. And I’d suggest that if he’d have led Jack Jr. to put his hands on Shaelin, things would have been a little different but hey, it’s only Brittany, right?”


Clay’s actions are not important, certainly not as he sits on the edge of the news desk. His words are what are important, released from the shackles of a scene or a conversation.

Krueger: “Caleb Claudel isn’t desperate. He’s a smart young man, the best tag team wrestler in the business. His singles run might not have worked out but he’s a lightning rod. To say that you’re going to annihilate either one of us is just asinine. It’s more than that, it’s misleading to your fans. Do you know how many times I’ve really been beaten like a dog? How many times I’ve been humiliated? Less than one. And don’t even consider calling me stupid, a lot of things I am but not that and you know it well.

I’d be happy to ask Ninja Blood Explosion about facing you, since they kicked your ass so many times. How about you to ask Pyotr Sadovsky how tough Clay Krueger is or Neo Carner how badly Clay Krueger wants to win?

Caleb has beaten you with the titles on the line before, don’t you forget that. It was worth losing the titles back to you so I remind myself of your capabilities and even if I thought you knew mine, calling me stupid proves that you don’t know me at all. Now I team with Caleb, who you’ve never solve the riddle of. Or defeated me. Ever.

I want those titles. I want to be the six-time FIW World Tag Team Champion. I don’t care for motherlands or battlegrounds, I don’t even mind losing a battle… I just care about winning the war. It doesn’t bother me walking into what you say is hostile territory. Don’t bother me a bit. I’m a veteran, experienced, battle-hardened. I don’t bow down to pressure and I don’t get rattled. I never have.

I am sure of victory, I’m very sure. I don’t need any extra motivation. I don’t need to listen to you spout your unrealistic expectations. I don’t need to hear you proclaim you’re going to humiliate me or end the Crew or send us embarrassed out of the company.

Let’s see who keeps their promise.”


That feels like it should be it, it even looks like it should be it… but it’s not. There’s a sparkle in his eye, like something he wants to share.

Krueger: “I made an accusation that Shaelin was a part-time wrestler and you refuted that, you pointed that she started at the same time as you. That accusation wasn’t about tenure. It wasn’t so much even about her ability, as her affect.

I would address her personally but all she does is regurgitate your own thoughts, so why bother? A result for me this week would be for her to have a perception of her own.

You know what really bothers me about you two? Putting aside the one mind policy, the embarrassing unrealistic statements, the unlikely outcomes, the obsession with people nowhere near you in the card.

It’s your laziness.

You’ve had big wins, huge wins before, but you’ve done nothing with them. That offends me, more than that, it hurts me. I worked fucking hard for my reputation and for my standing in this community. I have bled, I have sweat and I have hurt more than you will ever know. I have done it all to be considered the absolute best in the industry and there have been many days when that has been true.

It breaks my heart when somebody like you comes along, they pick up a win over somebody like me and then do nothing with it. You want to talk humiliation and embarrassing, that does it more than anything you could ever do in the ring.

Shaelin defeats Kim Coulter and what does she do with it? Does she ride a wave of momentum to the DeadlockeD Series and become Hellcats Champion? No. She flounders and she achieves nothing. What was the point? Gustav David Richlen retires Nick Riot and what does he do? He does even less. You’re lazy. Both of you.

What does Nick Riot think, sat at home watching you on television? Does he think ‘Hey, that’s the guy that sent me into retirement, he’s really tearing it up’. Or does he think ‘Hey, that’s the guy who sent me into retirement, he’s worse off now than he was before’?

What do you think Kim Coulter thinks? You think she even cares about either of you? She pities you. She is a former Hellcats Champion and you beat her live on pay-per-view. For what? For bragging rights? For a story you can tell the grandkids later in life? It must be because nobody even remembers it anymore. It’s irrelevant.

You insult me and you insult my legacy. That is the greatest humiliation of them all.”


Fade this shit.

So how many times did you have to repeat that crap in a mirror to get yourself to believe it, hmm?

*Uh oh. Looks as if the Wolves are wasting no time as they are backstage. Shaelin is holding several signs in her hands, but what is on them is hidden from view.*

You of all people should know that the last thing you should ever do is give anyone more ammunition, and you went beyond doing that, Krueger. You basically airlifted an entire warehouse to me. Thank you so very much, Clay Krueger, and I'm not even being sarcastic when I say that.

*Ouch. Sometimes sarcasm hurts more than sincerity. Richlen obviously believes that this is not one of those times.*

So what I am going to do right now, just a few short days before we do what we do best and that is embarrass the Crew, is take every piece of ammunition, load it up in the truth pistol, and fire each shot through your extremely thick yet shockingly hollow skull, OK?

Shot number one.


*Shaelin holds up a sign reading, "KRUEGER LIE #1: LOGAN PROVED THAT RICKY IS WEAK."*

So he beat me. And I went on to reclaim the Fighting Spirit Championship, made it to the semis of the Grand Prix, further than you did might I add, and became a two time tag champ. What did he do after beating me? Nothing. At all. And guess what? I'm still here, while the guy who insisted he was going to surpass his father is on the unemployment line. So who really won, hmm? Even the Cleveland Browns can win games at times, and yes, the American Football reference may miss some people but the comparison stands.

So guess what, Krueger? Your son was the one who was weak, not me. He won and did jack shit with it. Which you accuse me of doing, and I'll rip that argument into pieces later as well, but let's be honest, your son is the blueprint for failure, not me. But what excuse are you going to make for him, hmm? And don't say you won't because making excuses is something the Crew does all too well.


*With that, Richlen takes the sign, rips it in half, then tears the halves in half, then tears those pieces in half before throwing them over his left shoulder.

And now the sign Shaelin has reads, "KRUEGER LIE #2: ALL OF RICKY'S TITLE REIGNS WERE FLUKES AND HE ONLY HAD ONE DEFENSE."*

Oh, come on now, man, this is just too easy. I defeated someone who has as much if not better claim to being called a legend in order to win my first championship here. And don't try telling me that beating Zombie Black means nothing because you'll tear the door down for me to do the same to you. And who, might I ask, did I successfully defend the title against in that reign? Why, it so happened to be one of your fellow Crew members in Stephen J. Eversol! And not only that, gosh, if I remember right, I made him tap out! And how about my second reign as Fighting Spirit Champion, hmm? Or how about winning the tag belts the first time? And goodness gracious, I believe we did in fact defend them before you and Gray proved how much you lack any sort of spines whatsoever by ambushing us!

So yes, I can call myself a champion, you idiot. And I will still be able to call myself one after we beat you again. Seriously, Krueger, two bullshit claims in and you've already gotten debunked on them both. Not looking good for you right now, no?


*He takes this sign, rips it into chunks again, but this time, he throws the pieces sideways.

And the next sign comes up, "KRUEGER LIE #3: WE HAVE DOUBLE STANDARDS FOR NOT BRINGING UP MIZERY'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE REMATCH."

This gets an eye roll from Richlen.*

Oh please, you're making this way too easy for me. You just started bitching about interference against you, when if it was on your behalf you'd be keeping your mouth shut. I'm not going to dignify your hypocrisy any further by continuing, Mr. Pot.

*He doesn't even bother tearing this sign apart as he just throws it behind him in about as disdainful a manner as he can muster.

Next sign: "KRUEGER LIE #4: WE NEVER MADE A MOVE TO GO AFTER THE CREW BY ASKING THE MANAGEMENT FOR IT."*

See, this is one of the positives that sets us apart from you idiots in the Crew. When we want something, we don't whine, cry, beg, or bully our way into getting what we want. Weearn it. I know, it's a foreign concept to you, but that's how it goes. We work for what we want. We don't run around acting like entitled little brats like you do.

And besides, Orion and I aren't exactly on the best of terms anyway. Me asking would have done nothing. So if I want something from someone who doesn't exactly like me, I fight for it. I was doing it before I came to FIW, hell, I was doing it long before I started wrestling school, and I'll be doing it long after you've realized that you don't belong in FIW anymore.

Oh, and one other thing: there's a little something called "priorities," Krueger. You want to know why Orion really didn't make us part of Team FIW? It's because he knew we had a more pressing matter to take care of. Business first, long-term mission later. I could have easily ignored Riot but I chose to make him a target. I can keep my priorities straight, something which you oh so conveniently chose to not point out. But never let the truth get in the way of your bullshit arguments, right?


*He takes that sign, rips it up, and simply drops the pieces in front of him.

And the next sign reads, "KRUEGER LIE #LOSING TRACK: WE HAVE NO ALLIES AND NOBODY WANTS OUR HELP."

And this gets a derisive chuckle.*

Seriously, dude, why are you making this so fuckin' easy for me, man? Dream and Johnny both know we have their backs if and when the need calls for it, and we know they have ours. Come on, man, you have to know how full of bullshit that is by now. For someone who claims to be a legend and all that shit, the total lack of intelligence that you're displaying is just embarrassing. Seriously.

*And the sign gets ripped up and thrown into the air, pieces falling around him as Shaelin holds up the next sign: "KRUEGER LIE- AH FUCK IT."

And she just lets the sign drop.*

No, Krueger, you don't get to insist that NBE beating us has any weight on the discussion, because guess who won that war? We did. Guess who will be winning the battle and the war this time around? Not you. And if you want to continue down the NBE line of thought, then maybe we can ask everyone who has beaten you. How about we start with the reigning, defending, undisputed FIW Champion? Where did all your talk get you then? What about those promises you insist you always keep? Looks like your recent track record kinda destroys your argument, doesn't it?

And saying I have never defeated you?! WE JUST DEFEATED YOU LAST WEEK, YOU STUPID FUCKING GOOF!

*Considering what Krueger was saying, it was inevitable that Richlen would lose his temper, and sure enough, our hero has lost his temper.*

My God, you are one of the stupidest people I have ever had to deal with! Even Nick Riot at his worst was never as bad as you! Now I know where your son got his delusional attitude from!

*Shaelin, thankfully, cuts him off before he has an epic coronary.*

You want to play the "hardened veteran" card? Guess what, so are we. You want to claim you don't crack under pressure? Neither do we. But it's inevitable that you'll fold, and RATC, in front of what is essentially a home crowd for us, is when that inevitability happens. Now, as far as Caleb's previous defense against us goes, I could play one of the cards the Crew is so prone to doing when they lose, something you did when you mentioned Mizery's interference, but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction. Besides, nobody is unbeatable, and he'll find that out the hard way thanks to us, just like you will.

Now, since you also want to claim that all I do is parrot anything my husband says, I'm going to play the hypocrisy card on you, and quite frankly you deserve to have it played on you. Because all the Crew does is repeat whatever one of their own says. Maybe the repeating isn't full of obscenities and coarseness, but they do it all the damn time. So trying to claim that with us is pure hypocrisy, Krueger, and you know it.


*Richlen looks like he's not done blowing a fuse, but Shaelin stays in front of him in an effort to make him calm down.*

And what, pray tell, did beating Kim Coulter get me? It got me to the semis in the DeadlockeD series when everyone counted me out. It ended up getting me my first championship of my career. What did beating Riot get Ricky? It got him to the semis in the Grand Prix. And it led to him becoming tag champs alongside me. And it got the lot of you right where we want you.

So don't bother insisting we, who have busted our asses for everything we've had, waste opportunities when you outright steal them and then blow it. It only backs up the arguments of everyone, not just us, who have a low opinion of your intelligence.

Now here's a promise for you, and one which we will be keeping: You and Caleb will not be taking these from us. It's not going to matter what tricks you try to pull out of the bag, and it's not going to matter if you have to summon the rest of the Crew for interference. We're going to win. And we will still be champs. Then what? Then what excuse are you going to make for losing to us again? Then what do you think Orion is going to do when you try to go crying to him for a rematch you won't be getting?

You want to whine about us supposedly insulting your legacy? We don't give a fuck about your legacy, Krueger. There's the damned insult. You're not a legend, Krueger, you're wolf food. There's the damned insult. And we're going to have the satisfaction of defeating the Crew again and putting another mark in the loss column for a legend. There is your damned insult.

The only person making "embarrassing unrealistic statements" is you. And the only person being humiliated is you. And considering the mindset you've chosen to approach this match with, it's clear that you've already lost the battle before it's even happened. All that's left is to beat you physically, and we know we can do that.

We've heard your kind of talk before, Krueger. And it resulted in Gray losing the FSC, Riot losing his career, Coulter getting choked, and NBE losing the tag titles. At RATC, it'll result in disaster for you too.

There is your damned insult.


*With that, she walks out. Richlen lingers a bit since he clearly wants to blow up still, but he just settles for one more glare into the camera before walking off.*

It’s only fair in these times for a response to be provided and never let it be said that Clay Krueger disappoints those expecting from him. He welcomes the viewer, motioning and gesturing for them to come back so he can address the points made by Mr and Mrs ‘We Kiss When We Tag’, however revolting that may be. I doubt Jenny Chennault and Havok had a similar rule.

Krueger: “I'm just going to go ahead and address you both since the one thing I asked for, I still didn't get.

Thank you for proving my point that somebody can say so much without actually saying anything at all.

I did provide you with ammunition, however putting that in your hands is no threat. I said you were lazy and I was sadly correct. When giving you ammunition in your hands the safest place in the world to stand is right in front of the target because there's absolutely no chance of you hitting it. Let's clear these things up, shall we? I was always told as a young man that winner’s rewrite history but what you've done is taken the concept to another level.

Yes, my son at least in FIW terms was a disappointment. You may not be aware of this but I'm not him. I know we look alike.

The irony to that being it was me who took him out of the game, not you. Where did it get him beating you? He got further than you in some Anarchy FSC battle royal thing, title shots against Johnny Amazing, main events versus Jack Manson Jr. When did you last participate in a main event in a match that didn't involve me?”


Logan Krueger was indeed released from FIW officially this past week, although several weeks ago Clay sent him back to Arizona to oversee the moving of his late father’s burial plot. No update on that score, doubtless things gone as well as could be expected.

Krueger: “I probably wouldn't bring up the fact you made it to the semis of the Grand Prix considering you only really get to do that if you win, wrestling talent not so much a factor in that one, old boy.

Personally, and this is just my preference, I'd try not to bring up titles you held that expose other aspects of your flawed argument. Yes, you were FSC but when Eversol holds it still to this day and you were in the match he won it originally, probably not the best idea to bring people around to your way of thinking. But hey, that's just my personal preference. Congratulations on the submission win, that's almost as embarrassing as being forced kicking and screaming to admit that you respect somebody on television. Using the name Eversol just reminds others that he won that Grand Prix tournament, not you. I believe he's doing rather well for himself these days, another example of somebody who passed you by.

I wouldn't be so bold as to insult Zombie Black, I don't know him. For some reason our schedules never meshed. Invoking his name just reminds everybody that when he lost the FSC, he went on to International Championship fame, whereas you just... haven't. Nor, I suppose, could you now. I hear he was at the show recently, did you see him? Did you make it on camera with him? No? Obviously deemed unworthy of interest.”


Zombie Black vs. Clay would have been rather interesting. Food for thought.

Krueger: “Just out of curiosity I did hear you say that what do best is embarrassing the Crew, right? When did you do that? Have you started? I get accused of taking a few unprotected chair shots... I may have missed something because you haven't been deemed worthy of even stepping in the ring with us for months.

In terms of the interference, no I don't expect you to cast a shining light on it. I do expect you to even give it a brief mention, maybe clarify that you didn't arrange or invite Mizery out there to your fans, show that you didn't 'sink' to the Crew's level. That would be relevant, especially since we're so at war... so I'm told.

Just out of idle interest, how long does it take to earn something in your world?

I went a week from saying that I want the tag titles to getting them and ensuring this rematch. I brought this fight to your door, not the other way around. That's how I roll, as it were. I earned the right a long time ago to pretty much do whatever I want around here. It speaks volumes to me that even I have a better relationship with management, despite the whole 'turning my back on my old friend' routine. You must just be unlikeable.

It's nice that you think your all in this together with Dream and Johnny. Where were you when Dream needed you against us? Where were you when Johnny's ankle nearly got shattered? Right there having their backs, right? They don't care about you, they wouldn't be caught dead talking to you on camera. Says something, doesn't it? I'm put in mind of the Rise of a Legend press conference, there you were imploring others to join in your condemnation of the Crew but it didn't really get off the ground, did it? No man is an island but you come closer than most.”


Rise of a Legend was a successful night for the Coulter Crew, on the most part. Clay, Stephen J. Eversol & Darian Gray overcame Team FIW and Nathaniel’s match with Johnny Amazing was considered one of the best in recent memory.

Krueger: “Orion didn't choose you for Team FIW because you weren't the best man for the job, plain and simple. Says a lot when the ones chosen ahead of you failed so spectacularly.

Thank you for letting Shaelin talk, other than that effort I doubt anybody would notice if she was here or not. If you do really believe all this talk of my stupidity, I honestly despair at your delusional nature. I am an elder statesman, I'm willing to take a shortcut here and there, I would even say that I've been ambitious but a superior intellect has always been part of my mentality. If you can’t see that then that speaks volumes about your character. You are restricted to those who don't know me at all.

You’d like to start talking about me with Johnny Amazing? Johnny is an exceptional athlete, a phenomenal performer. He is probably the most exciting Champion FIW has seen in a long time. Shocked that I'd admit that, on television no less, yeah? Why? I've always given credit where it's due, that's one of the things that has set me apart.

I'm not afraid to highlight the qualities of my opponents, it makes my victories all the more credible. If you think I'm inventing that, with respect, ask around. So go ahead and speak to Johnny. I daresay I know that he'll say. He'll say that wrestling Clay Krueger has made him a better Champion. He'll say that going into Nensai Senjou his focus was blurred by his unknowing of my intentions. That he learnt something about the mental aspect of this business. I dare you to ask him about me and put a microphone in front of his face.

That's where this whole hypocrisy argument sort of falls flat. I've been doing this for a long time now, a lot longer than the Crew have been an entity, certainly in FIW. Although since nobody in the Crew has really given you the time of day so I couldn't be repeating anything anybody else has said about you.

I have a very complex relationship with Orion Oldriod. He and I do go way back, some ten years in fact we first encountered each other. He said something very interesting this week, he talked about how he could trust me. Despite our differences, he still has faith in me. Faith I probably don't deserve, considering I speared him at Rise of a Legend. Satisfying as that may be.

I probably don't deserve the respect of competitors like Joe Stanton and Kira Izumi, but I have it. Insult me, insult my legacy, but the reality of it all is that I've gone beyond being respected to being admired. That's the reason I could walk into the GM's office the day after RATC and ask for another shot at the tag titles if I needed it, and it would be granted. It's the reason I'm confident I could walk in there and ask for an FIW Championship match at Anarchy in the UK and chances are, I'd get that too.

Criticise my approach but in doing that you miss the point, it is exactly that, it is my approach. I kind of didn't think you would understand my point about insulting legacies, and you missed the crux of the argument somewhat. That was more about what you do after defeating me, not so much how you achieve it in the first place. You should care about my legacy, it's disheartening that you don't because it can do so much for you. But I guess you were always going to miss that opportunity, considering your track record.

The important thing to remember is that I have engineered this whole situation. I drew you into the game and I got my rematch firmly secured. It is my hand on the tiller and I'm not willing to concede control just yet.”


No, not ‘just’ yet. He will of course, but only in time. Depending on the result of the match this Friday, it could be then.

If I didn't know any better, I'd be inclined to think that you're taking this far too personally. You probably should considering how much it was made clear that your legacy means nothing to us but seeing as how you insist on ranting endlessly, I am going to respond whether you want me to or not.

*We are backstage with "The Predator." No props, no Shaelin, just him.*

You spent way too much time accusing us of wasting opportunities and laziness. Well, since you chose to bring your son into this, what did he really do with those opportunities, hmm? What, exactly, did he win? Nothing. And I am still here. He isn't. You failed to disprove my argument there, Krueger. In fact, you actually helped it by reminding everyone that yes, we do capitalize on opportunities given to us, unlike some people.

And really, what have you won since coming back to FIW? One tag title reign that you basically stole? Oh, right, someone who doesn't work here anymore eliminated you from the Grand Prix. And Johnny beat you at NSXI. So, never tell me about wasted opportunities, blah blah blah, when you can't make the most of almost every single one you have been given in the last few months. You want to talk about your legacy supposedly being insulted? You have clearly done a great job of doing it yourself.

But let's be honest, how much longer, and my points are going to be hit a bit randomly since I am literally getting tired of your bullshit, how much longer do you think Orion is going to have respect for you regardless of what you've accomplished? You joined the enemy, dude, and no matter how much he used to respect you, that's going away because he's a target of the people you chose to associate with. But I guess you didn't hear his reaction to you winning, did you?

Now, I only invoked Zombie Black and Nick Riot because I was intending for you to shut the fuck up. I actually have respect for those two, and I really don't like bringing them up unless I have to. Beating you or anyone else in the Crew? Yeah, I will gloat about it as much as I fucking want because I have no respect for any of you. There, I admit it. I don't respect you, Krueger, and quite frankly I never will. And I know that will burn you up but I know that I can prevent you from doing anything about it.

Oh yeah, another difference between us: when I feel that someone isn't giving me the respect I feel like I deserve, I don't stand around and rant and go, "WAAAAH, THIS PERSON DOESN'T RESPECT ME, WAAAAH!" I go out and beat it out of that person. I can tell, you don't respect me. Whatever, dude. Quite frankly, again, I don't respect you either. But I don't complain about your disrespect. I just plan to make you respect us. And the thing is, deep down? You know that we can do it.

But you want to keep the lie going that we have no friends here? Let me ask you something, when Johnny eliminated you at NSXI where were your friends, hmm? How about last week? I could go on but you should get the picture. You won't, but you should. Which is why I also am not going to complain about the interference last week because let's face it, if the roles were reversed your mouth would be closed and you know it.

And once again, we were not asked to be part of Team FIW because by the time it was being formed, we were all but confirmed for a rematch with NBE. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that. For someone who accuses me of rewriting history to suit my argument you sure as hell do a lot of it yourself.


*Here he rubs his forehead. He really does seem to be sick of the constant go-around.*

I don't even know why I bother with your bullshit, Krueger. Because it is painfully obvious that no matter how many times I debunk your lies, you will just keep repeating the same shit over and over again. And I don't have the patience to keep doing this song and dance any longer.

You can keep ranting all you want, but nothing is going to change the fact that we beat you once, and this Friday we will beat you again. Because guess what? You insist you have us figured out? No, we have you figured out, Krueger, and it doesn't matter what you think. These belts belong, not just to us, but also to the fans, and we are not going to let them down by losing them to you.

You want to keep spewing out the same bullshit that we've already disproven? Go ahead. It'll just make it that much more embarrassing for you and your legacy when you lose to two supposedly lazy, insignificant failures again.

And that...

















...is a promise.


*And fade.*
