Backstory
Last week Shane Douglas and Eric Bischoff came to a compromise as Douglas lobbied for a chance to face current XPW World Heavyweight Champion, “Sugar” Shane Helms. Bischoff made the announcement at the end of the show thus making it known. However in Douglas’s case, it didn’t come without a price. A number one contender’s match was made between Douglas and someone from his past. Someone in whom he’s entangled with in the history of XPW.
Roleplay
(We now come to the view of a hotel room. Inside the room a travel bag is open on the bed, clothes scatter in the bag, a set of clothes laid out neatly on the edge of the bed. Shower water heard running from the bathroom shuts off and a shower curtain is pulled back. After a few moment we see Shane Douglas appear from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He dries himself off with a second towel and then proceeds to place his clothes on.. Moments later he’s packing up his bag and steps out into the hallway where the XPW Camera Crew was waiting outside his door. Douglas sits the bag down and looks into the camera with his XPW Logo on the front and F*ck The Rest, Join The Best on the back in black writing, grey colored t-shirt and black dress pants with black loafers. He adjusts the silver Seiko watch on his left wrist as he begins to speak.)
”So you are probably wondering what in the hell I’m thinking in regards to what went on at Shocker last week. Well as the story goes.. I indeed did negotiate a championship opportunity with one Eric Bischoff because I felt strongly about what happened two weeks ago when I got ####ed out of my World Heavyweight Championship! He took note of my dilemma and he said he’d have a solution that would even shock yours truly. Well Eric, good ####ing job because you got The Franchise’s attention now! You said and I quote ‘That a former XPW World Champion is coming’ to face me. Now the rumors are flying, people are scurrying for their past recorded Shocker episodes and pay per views. They’re trying to identify who it could possibly be. Well there’s a few names that come to mind whom I honestly don’t give a good god d**n about and if I saw them right now, I’d have this company investigating their times of death.”
(Douglas looks up for a moment with an expression on his face like he’s thinking about who this person could possibly be. Douglas looks as if he’s got the issue figured out.)
“Is it Hulk Hogan? The so called Immortal Icon who thinks that he was the best thing every to XPW? This over blown, wind bag who was apart of the Shane McMahon administration who later on became Commissioner because he just couldn’t ####ing leave and allow a better generation and era take its place. When I came into XPW in 2002, I came from a place called PWX which used to be a feeder territory for XPW. After dominating that sh*t hole of a promotion in record time, it soon folded and XPW wanted me to come work for them. Eric Bischoff was trying to over throw Shane McMahon who broke away from his father’s WWF cesspool. So who did I terrorize first? It was Hogan! At that time the World Championship was secondary to me. My main goal was to put that old fossil, that historic Jurassic Jackass to rest for the rest of XPW’s existence! Hahahaha! And the world and future of XPW was much better.. But it couldn’t be him, that old #### can’t even with a divorce settlement let alone a shot at the XPW Title.”
(Another thought comes to mind as Douglas looks to be thinking once again. He shakes his finger and cringes at this one with a little rasp in his voice as a mock towards Vince McMahon.)
”The Undertaker.. It’s gotta be him! After all I was thrown off of the top of a Triple Cage by his sorry ass because there was no way in hell he could out wrestle me! That stupid son of a b###h almost cost me my career because of that. I spent six months away from the ring. Six long months of watching him and others carry around my championship! I would definably like a chance to bury his ass and his legend here in XPW for good.. Hell I would like a rematch in the very same cage just to turn the tables on that stupid piece of trash. Because unlike him, I’ve been around XPW a lot longer!”
(Douglas paces around in small area for a moment and then comes up with another possibility. As he gets a twinkle in his eye.)
”TRIPLE H!!! After all, while I was preoccupied with Shane Helms and his first of many betrayals on me.. It was Triple H who befriended me and became XPW World Heavyweight Champion. It was Triple H who wanted me to reform the Triple Threat in order to cover his sorry ass along with that old bastard Dick Flair! Or it was his best friend Shawn Micheals, who did nothing more than prance around here and tarnish the image of XPW! We’re not about idle threats or flashy bullsh*t! XPW was about getting it on in the ring and working your ass off! Something neither one of those two cartoon characters could do! Neither one of them could lace my boots, carry my jock, nor wash my car! If I had one or both of them right now, I’d put them right where they belong!”
(Douglas shakes his finger into the camera.. And looks very assure now as he’s thinks he’s cracked it open.. Douglas chuckles and looks relieved.)
”I have it.. I should’ve thought of this all along! The one man who’s done nothing more than ride my coat tails because he needed someone to push him to the next level.. That no good, low life who polluted this company with his “cool”, “whatever”, and cheap attitude.. This guy was so full of himself that he overshadowed Shawn Micheals, and his ignorance was more so than Triple H.. This guy would go to Bischoff and cry.. He would complain.. And literally get down on his knees and beg me for rematch after rematch only to have me hand him his ass time and time again! Rob Van Dam! It will be a pleasure this week and a privilege to stick it to you much like I did Kidman, one more time.. I’ll see you at Shocker and you will get your ass..”
(Douglas stops.. He looks as if he forgot about something.. He then continues with dastardly grin on his face.)
”All this talk about past champions.. And how I’m going to kill them all.. I almost forgot.. There’s one other piece to this puzzle.. The carrot at the end of the proverbial stick for me. That’s the current joke of an XPW World Heavyweight Champion. Shane Helms.. You and I have been around and around more times than we can count. We’ve fought all the battles two friends could fight and closed down a lot of promotions because of our ability to stick it to those who did us wrong. Now you screwed me out of my championship, you blind sided me, even that idiot Raven noticed that! Now you’re getting a second chance to do it again as you weaseled yourself into another one of my matches.. You’re trying to steal my thunder once again.. You’re so scared of me that you have to be the special guest referee in this match. You don’t want me to challenge you for that World Championship because deep down inside Helms, you know.. You know I can take it any time I want to! You know that if I get my chance I’ll take just like *snaps fingers* that! Shane, you also know how much I thrive and care about carrying that World Heavyweight Championship. You’ve heard it year after year when I’d talk about the sixteen pounds of gold.. When I’d talk about what it’s like to be the man to carry a company such as this on your back! I’m going to do things to you I wouldn’t do to anyone else.. I’m going to steal your moment in the sun and turn your world into a linear eclipse which is going to forever freeze you in time as a fluke! If you don’t like it, come get your ass FRANCHISED!”
(Douglas shoves past the camera man and heads to the elevator as the scene comes to an end.)
