The scene opened up backstage, where Josh
Matthews stood in a set with an LCD screen behind him. The EBWF logo twirled
behind him in white. Josh wore a gray suit with a light blue shirt and a navy
blue tie, he stood next to Alberto del Rio and Eve Torres. They exchanged some
words in the back while Josh put the microphone closer to his lips.
Josh Matthews: Ladies and Gentlemen, my
guest at this time... King of The Ring Contestant and FORMER...
Alberto del Rio had enough of Matthews
insolence, both of his hands drove him into a nearby wall, pinning him firmly,
his dark brown eyes looking straight into the interviewers.
Alberto del Rio: Listen to me, maldito
perro! You will NOT belittle me! Or put me out of context! You hear?
Josh Matthews: B-but... You lost last
wee...
Alberto’s arms slammed Matthews against
the wall a couple of times.
Alberto del Rio: I lost? I lost a little
bit of deadweight... To a nobody! I lost a championship belt that had
absolutely NO VALUE to a clown! That title was completely holding me back! Now
I am free to go for the big one... I am back on the TRUE PATH TO GLORY! Now you
can go back to performing the puny attempt to interview me... Just don’t slip
again...
Alberto released Josh and dusted him off
mockingly, before patting him firmly on the cheeks. Josh clearly didn’t like
the gesture, but neverthelesss continued with his labor.
Josh Matthews: Alberto, come Monday you
have the chance to redeem yourself...
Alberto scoffed and crossed his arms.
Alberto del Rio: Redeem? Do I look like I
need redemption? Do I look like I need anyone’s pity? Don’t you realize? Every
step I take I blaze my own path! The rest of the EBWF locker room should be
looking for redemption for they are a bunch of peasants. You’re looking at the
one and only King of The Ring right now, Josh.
Josh Matthews: You’ve probably been given
a tough obstacle in the form of Triple H! Long and fruitful EBWF career, Six
time EBWF World Champion, 2008 Royal Rumble Winner, 2009 King of the Ring
winner...
Alberto del Rio: Do you think I cannot
match him or top him? I have only been in EBWF for a year and a few months...
Sure, I spent a few months wasted on that stupid Path To Glory championship,
which might I add still stunk of that loser Ted DiBiase! I am ready to begin my
true path of dominance... I will truly be remembered as one of the most
charismatic, talented and athletic wrestlers ever to set foot in an EBWF ring...
Then again that can’t be too hard, right my lovely Eve?
Eve, who chose a black dress for the
ocassion nodded her head and smiled at Alberto.
Eve Torres: Of course, no one else is
truly royalty around here Alberto... You are the best King prospect this place
has.
Alberto del Rio: Triple H... He is
nothing but a shadow of what he used to be... Tha vicious man, full of anger,
full of rebellion, full of aggression... Now he’s just another daddy... Having
barbecues on weekends with Chyna and Shawn Michaels... We all know that.
Somewhere along the mind this new Triple H knew he had lost his thunder... He
tried to return, he went for the World Title and miserably failed at attaining
it. I am not responsible for Triple H’s mid-life crisis, as I will not be held responsible if he returns home to his kids and wife on crutches... If he returns... I can already hear him saying how he is the cerebral assassin, how has he ended a whole bunch of careers, how he was won a bunch of brutal matches... But he has NEVER faced someone like me... All his opponents have mortals... who were either too old and over the hill, or too young and unexperienced... Yo soy Dios hecho hombre! (I am God made a man) And he simply does not stand a chance against me...
Josh Matthews: Triple H is known as the cerebral ass...
Alberto del Rio: You can't have Alzheimer's disease and still consider yourself a Cerebral assassin. Let me remind you I am the ONLY person ever to return from Kane's inferno... With a trick or two learnt there, might I add. During my time at his side... I learnt I really... Really... Enjoy hurting people... I thrive on watching their faces twist in pain as I lock my cross arm breaker... I love watching their concussed facial expressions after I kick them on the skull like a football ball...
Josh Matthews: You mean a soccer ball?
Alberto del Rio: Gringo idiots can call it whatever they want... It's FOOTBALL.
Alberto del Rio furiously ranted in Spanish on how "soccer" is an non-convenient, stupid, meaningless name for a few moments.
Alberto del Rio: Anyway... As I was saying... I couldn't have been luckier to get Triple H during the first round...
Josh Matthews: Would you care to explain why?
Alberto del Rio: Simple. Because I'm on this tournament to send a message... I am going to teach you pinches idiotas... Gringos estupidos... How a real king looks. Triple H... Like Tic-Tac-Toe... Like Atari... Will be exposed as an OBSOLETE GAME.
Josh Matthews: But Triple H? Such a tough and relentless opponent... Former Ki...
Alberto del Rio: Josh Matthews, your
choice of words made it seem as if I was unfortunate to get someone like Triple H for
the draw? Well, allow me to tell you I disagree... This is the perfect chance... Because on
Monday night, in the main event I will be the one to do what CM Punk and The
Shield weren’t able to do... I am TRULY going to bring justice to EBWF and I
will end the career of someone who has ended dozens and DOZENS of careers...
The saddest part? Triple H ended careers, but not with sledgehammer shots or
pedigrees, not with all that violence and brutal capabilities he preaches to have... But with a little aid of his corporate wife’s big intimidating
desk instead... Now isn't that really sad?
Alberto’s smirk faded as he pointed at
the camera.
Alberto: And if Chyna doesn't like it... I am not afraid to walk out of
this place because what I just said irates her or anyone else in the back... It is no mystery that Triple
H came back, like a lot of EBWF recent’s signings: Out of nostalgia... He probably heard those Wendy's chugging buffoons chanting "You still got it..." And he bought it... Listen, Hunter: We are sad your hair is falling and turning grey... We don't want to hear about how much weight have you put on, or how things in bed don't work anymore with your wife... You're old. You're yesterday's news... I do acknowledge you have an enviable past... But that is no excuse to take
the young and talented’s shots away for the mere sake of reliving the good old
days... For every day you’ve gone out there to hog up the spotlight... I...
Alberto del Rio have been left in the back, rotting like a B-show attraction...
But that’s about to change Hunter... I will not be bullied, I will not be held back... I have what it takes to be the star of this show! After you and I meet up, I am pretty
confident the eyes of the EBWF Universe will finally land on their true,
virtuous savior... Alberto del Rio!
Alberto smirked and winked into the
camera, wrapping an arm around Eve as the scene faded to black.
