[The Geotron lights up and Slipknot's " I Am Hated" hits. The crowd's booing are threatning to collapse the very foundations of the arena. Manik comes out to the stage, microphone in hand.]

Manik - Allright, allright... stop it... seriously, this is getting old fast.

[the booing keeps on going and Manik starts pacing left to right on the stage...]

Manik - No one cares about what you think anyway... but that's not why I'm out here. Micheal Calhoun had a little problem with me choosing a Distress Express Match as Blade is to be the special guest referee and he's also booked in the main-event... SO, being the good guy that I am...

[Manik gets interrupted by the crowd, booing even louder, as if humanly possible.]

Manik - As the GOOD GUY that I am... seriously... as the good guy that I am and wanting to show you what a great champion I'm going to be, I decided to come back on my decision... The Distress Express Match won't take place.

[The crowd's booing turns into cheering...]

Manik - WoWoWoWoWO! I said that there wouldn't be a Distress Express Match... I never said I wasn't going to beat that monkey's ass!?!

[The crowd's cheering turns back into the initial booing...]

Manik - Ahahah... Nah, I had a better idea... Something that will steal the spotlight... Something that will prove without a shadow of a doubt what kinda man Nate really is. First of, it's going to be a Cage Match. And to win, you have to get the pin. No submission, therefore no tap-out. Going out the door or escaping by the top is a big No-No. That's where Nate's challenge lies... Big Nasty Nate, I can already see it... you, shaking in the back... "Oh no! That means,,, I'll actually have to... to... to wrestle!?! I don't know how to wrestle!!!"

[The crowd starts chanting "Get Nasty! Get Nasty!"...]

Manik - Ahahah... Not that type of guy... So there you go Nasty... A big old wrestling match... without any interference possible... what do you say, huh? Hey, hang on a sec... Why am I asking for your opinion... it's not like you have a choice or anything... he he he... Oh and Nasty, it reminds me man, you got a call... it said... "Watch your step to hell, it's a long fall"

[The P.A. blasts Slipknot's "I Am Hated" as Manik fingers the crowd on both sides of the ramp, then the rest, turns back and returns to his lockerroom...]
