Stars and Stripes Forever Play over the PA system as it is now time for Corporal Punishments promo segment. But there is no marching band this time, no flag waving patriot, no streamers flying across the arena, instead, we see a broken man walk, no limp, out on the stage. He is supported by two crutches. No broken bones are obvious. But his shirt is now replaced with heavy bandages covering his chest and abdomen. But even with intense care and medical therapy, the fans can still see quite easily scar tissue and burn marks over his shoulder and face due to the whiplash he received at the Aftermath. But he is decent enough to have a microphone in his hands, and raspily begins to speak into it.
Corporal Punishment:
It is….against doctors orders that I speak here tonight…it is….against doctors orders that I even wrestle this next week on Side Effect. I am battered, I am burned and I am bruised far worse than any tour I had taken in Tahiti. But I am a man of vigilance…I am a man of pride and a man of my country. If anything disgusts me more than the fact that I suffered near career ending injuries last Sunday, it is the fact that the XVI Xtreme Championship, the pride of every street fighter, hardcore enthusiast, or Xtreme competitor, is in the hands of some dainty “I can take any guy because I’m a bitch” woman! Now maybe….*coughing* maybe, if you were the type of competitor…some badass take no names tough as nails woman…I could understand. But for a woman who cares more about when her next manicure appointment is rather than that very title you now hold, you are a disgrace to the Xtreme Division!
Corporal Punishment shuffles to one side and then the other. He is still trying to shake off the cobwebs, that last piece of monologue must have taken his lungs even further strain than he planned.
Corporal Punishment:
You have a lot to learn woman….if you plan on keeping that title, then I will give you one piece of advice, and will only say this once, so get your ears out of your iPod and listen! *Coughing profusely now* You need an attitude adjustment. You cannot be like every other valley girl with “Baby Making” hips. You need to toughen up, and realize that no matter how many times you beat me, or Thor, or Nero Phoenix. You still have to watch your back. Eventually….ah god….*clutching his ribs* eventually, you will find yourself in a position that you are no longer undefeated. You must realize that….that as long as you are Xtreme Champion, you will have to prove yourself again and again, possibly against the same damn person. Because if you don’t kill us….we are just going to keep on gunning for your title. Realize that, prepare for it….Damnit realize for once that just because you beat me, just because you beat 5 other men, that does not and will not ever mean that we are not worthy of a title shot! We busted our asses just as much as you for that damned title! And champion or no champion…you have no right to deny us our shots.
The Corporal throws down one of his crutches in frustration, pounding on his chest to try to numb the pain for a few more minutes so that he can speak.
Corporal Punishment:
Thor, what can I say about you that I haven’t already said? You and I have been in many a match over the past month. But what Rachel doesn’t realize about that is the distinct advantage we have….the more you fight an opponent, the more you learn about their style, making each new encounter something more special than the last. What Rachel is concerned with is simply….simply getting the win, and not focusing on her future opponents. That’s where you and I have her Thor. Your yourself have the most advantage here. You have been in more battle royals than any person in XVI. That gives you the advantage of knowing everyones styles. So even if I am not capable of picking up a win next week, show that no good woman what ring psychology is all about! Do what you do best and break away from the multi way pack, and distinguish yourself as a title contender!
The Corporal lowers the microphone, as some fans are truly moved by his resolve, by his undying devotion to a single promo segment, fighting through 3rd degree burns and bruises, just to get a message across.
Corporal Punishment:
And finally….Nero Phoenix. That’s very fancy of you to ditch two women in one night. A piece of advice you too…..women suck. The best thing you can get out of a woman is a one night stand and I suggest you bolt through the back door son….jump out the window if you have to because all they will become are a distraction to your career…You have a long life ahead of you, and as much as I’d like to smack that look off your baby face, I believe in giving new blood their deserved respect and adolation. Good luck son, because if your going to jump into XVI’s Xtreme division, just take a look at me. Even 20 years of service can’t get you prepared for the horrors of this Division. And if you want to break out as the MVP of XVI….your going to have to go through hellfire, sheet rock, thumb tacks and titanium steel boy. And by god I hope your ready….
Stars and Stripes Forever plays over the PA system as Corporal Punishment limps his way backstage as the fans give him, for the first time in his life, a standing ovation….and even though they cannot see it, a tear trickles down the Corporals eyes, as he has finally earned the fans respect….
End Segment.
