.:|- Scene -|:.The scene opens up with 'The Crippler' Chris Benoit sitting in a comfy chair in what appears to be his house, he has music blaring and a drink beside him. He appears to be enjoying himself very much, but he seems troubled, it is not possible to tell fuly why he is troubled but he seems to be frusterated with something. All of a sudden his phone rings and he puts down his drink and goes and picks up the phone.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:.Hello...

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Hey Chris, this is an associate from The XWF calling, I was just wondering if you were ready to find out your match for next weeks Raw from Kansas.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:.Ya Im ready... Who do I face???

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Well this week you have to face..um.. Lance Storm.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Lance Storm?

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Yup, thats what it says right here on this paper which The Raw Card is on.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Oh well, well what is at stake in this match?

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Well Chris, the only thing on the line in this match is your pride.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. What the hell do you mean the only thing on the line is the match is my pride? My pride is on the line everytime I walk out through that curtain and get into the ring with anyone, be it Raven, Kurt Angle, RVD or anyone else, so you better get that straight, and next time you go and say something like that I am gonna have to come all the way over there and smack you and show you what pride is all about!

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Im sorry Chris, I wasnt aware, I didnt know that...

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Thats the problem with people these days, always assuming something when it is never that case. Always thinking one thing and it is always another thing, and if I didnt know better, I would have to say that I am sure that you are American.

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Why yes I am, how did you know?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Oh just a guess, just a guess that you are too damn stupid and thick headed to know what the hell pride is and to know what the hell it would be like to know what it is like to have your pride damaged, do you have any idea what it feels like to get pinned in the middle of that ring? Do you have any idea what the hell it feels like to have your shoulders pinned for the count of three by someone you despise?

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Um.. no I dont..

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Of course you dont, and furthermore you never will have any idea what it feels like to have your pride hurt, all you Americans have is foolish pride, all you Americans have is the thought of pride, but lemme tell you something, you or any other American, or anyone for that matter will know what pride is, you see out of all the people in The XWF, I am the only one who has the proper understanding of what pride is, I am the only one on the entire XWF roster who knows what it is like to have your pride taken from you and battered and bruised, but the days of having that happen to me are over, its time for payback as everyone will soon find out, its time for The Rabid Wolverine to break out of his shell and show all the idiots at home and all the morons in the crowd, and ecspecially everyone in the back that I am not one to mess with, its time to show them all exectly what a Rabid Wolverine is capable of, and there is no one that can stand in my path and stop me from doing so!

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Thats great Chris, but really, is there any point for you to tell me this?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Yes there is, there is reason for me to go and say this to everyone who is in The XWF, because I have put up with enough shit while I have been here, I have been screwed time after time, I have lost matches that I should have won just because someone in the back was jeleaous that I should have won, I got screwed time in and time out by Raven who was another one who was just sore of never being able to beat me, so he had to go and screw me over and over again, well I have had enough, if there is anyone in The XWF who has the balls to screw with The Crippler then I dare those sons of bitches to step up and try to prove me wrong, I dare them to come up and see how they fare against The Crippler, because I can tell you right now if they try to screw with The Crippler, The Crippler will mess them up, and I can promise you and everyone else that. It could be a referee, an announcer or a wrestler, it just dont matter to me anymore, none of it matters to me anymore, except for winning the gold, except for going to the top and winning the major XWF Gold, it could be anything, I could walk around with that hardcore title again, I could care less, but for the time being I will have to settle for taking Lance Storm and tearing that sorry excuse for a wrestler apart.

.:|- Voice From The Phone -|:.Allright Chris, well good luck in your match.

.:|- Scene -|:.With that 'The Crippler' Chris Benoit hangs up the phone and shakes his head and sits back down in his chair and starts to think for a second. After sitting for a minute he decides to get up and walk over to the fridge. He gets a glass of water and goes outside and sits in a chair right beside his pool and starts to think. After about five minutes he gets up one more time and walks back inside and goes and puts a coat on and goes outside and gets into his car. He drives to a restaurant about 10 minutes away and parks his car and gets out and goes inside the restaurant and sits down, the waitress comes up to him and brings him a menu and stands there waiting for him to order, once he does she takes the menu back and walks away. As she does this some little kid is walking by with his mom and realizes that Chris Benoit is sitting there and starts to talk to The XWF star.

.:|- " Shorty " Little Kid -|:. Hey, your Chris Benoit arent you? Your the greatest man, I watch every one of your matches and I try to do all the moves you do and I am your biggest fan and... and... I wanna be just like you when I grow up, well except for the missing tooth, but other than that your the greatest!

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Who the hell are you? And what kind of an idiot are you? First, you come up to me and ask me if I am Chris Benoit, and then second you go and start rambling on about nothing, about how you are a fan of Chris Benoit, of how much you wanna be like Chris Benoit, of how great Chris Benoit is. And you are not even sure if I am Chris Benoit. Lemme tell you something kid, just because you think that Chris Benoit is great and just because you want to be like him, does not mean you have to come over here and bother me even if I do look like him. Now kid, sure I look like Chris Benoit and act like Chris Benoit, but think about this for a secon, does this make me Chris Benoit? No it does not, there are a lot of people who look alike in this world and I just may be one of those people, yet again I may be Chris Benoit, I may be the best damn technical wrestler that The XWF has and will ever see, I may be the man who is going to kick Lance Storms ass on Raw and make him tap juts to prove a point, I may be the man whos been screwed week in and week out by The XWF, and I may be the man who is going to not take anything from anyone in The XWF from now on, but come one little kid, you tell me, am I Chris Benoit or not?

.:|- " Shorty " Little Kid -|:. Yup, I know you are, wanna know how?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. No I dont wanna know your reason for thinking or knowing I am Chris Benoit, and no I dont wanna know your reason for anything else if you are going to bother saying, and do want to know my reason for not wanting to tell you anything?

.:|- " Shorty " Little Kid -|:. I sure do!

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Well too bad because I am not going to tell you anything else, and ya, you were right, I am Chris Benoit, and I dont need to sit here and listen to what you have to say, I dont need to have to concentrate on what some little short kid has to say about me, I dont have to listen to what anyone has to say about me because I could care less about the fans, where were they when I needed them the most? Where were they when the odds were stacked against me and I got my ass double and triple teamed by people? They were sitting there in their seats enjoying it, and now that I am back in The XWF everyone wants to act all nice to me and welcome me back and expect me to not think that its some sort of act? Give me a break, I am not as naieve as everyone thinks I am, I am not going to fall in for everyones tricks like I have once before, I am not afraid to admit that I was like that when I first came into The XWF, but now that I have been in here long enough and now that I am back, I am not going to fall for anything from anyone. People can try to act nice to me but I know they are only acting that way because they know that without me The XWF crumvbles and without me The XWF falls apart at the seams, I somehow manage to hold it up, and if I have to I will, I have no problems with being the backbone of The XWF, I was in The WWF and WCW, so why not XWF too. You see kid, the weight that is on my shoulder is one that no normal man could hold, the weight that is on my shoulder is something that is bigger then you and me and everyone else, it is the future of The XWF, and there is no chance in hell that I am going to drop that and let The XWF die just like The WCW did when I left for The WWF, just like The WWF did when I left The XWF. But now I am happy here in The XWF for now because there is competition, something those other two could not provide for me, but if you will excuse me kid, I have to get the hell out of here before someone else notices who I am.

.:|- Scene -|:.'The Crippler' Chris Benoit then gets up once again and walks out even before his meal can be served up to him. He goes over to his car and drives away and goes back home. Once he is inside he goes and sits down in his chair and picks up the phone and dials and waits for someone to pick up once they do 'The Rabid Wolverine' Chris Benoit starts to talk to them.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Hey, is this Jack?

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. Ya this is Jack, whos this?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Hey, its Chris.

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. Oh hey man, whats up, hows it going?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Oh I cant complain, making my big return to The XWF on Monday and man am I going to prove a point. It is going to be one of the bost moments of my carrer in The XWF.

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. Well its about damn time you go back to The XWF, that place has suffered without you in there, hey have not done anything good since you have been gone.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Well thats one of the reasons I am going back, because they are nothing without me. Another reason though is that I feel I still have something to prove there, I feel that I still have to prove myself, and not to the fans, but I have to prove myself to myself. I never won a world title, hell I never even won the Intercontinental Title, I came damn close to winning that one, but got screwed out of that one majorly because everyone knew that if I won then I would be the biggest name in the company, bigger than the World Championm, and that is something that no one there could handle. But now I am not going to let any of that shit hold me back at all. Jack, The Crippler is back and he is ready to go and kick some ass. And it all starts on Monday when I make my return.

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. Who do you face first?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. I got Lance Storm in my first match back, which is such a damn blessing for me because everyone always goes around saying how good of a wrestler Lance Storm is and how tough he is, well on Monday I get to go out there and show everyone how much of a lie and a joke that is, I get to go out there and show everyone that Lance Storm is nothing but a joke to me and a joke to this profession by making him tap and making him scream like a little girl, and what else is great about it is that he is one half of the tag team champions, a title which I held with Raven for quite a long time, and because he holds that title it gives me even more chance to prove a point to everyone that he is worthless and pathetic. That he is not good enough to say that he is from Canada and to show the world that I am not going to take no shit from anyone.

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. It sure sounds like you are ready.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Jack, you have no idea how ready I am to make my return and you have no idea how ready I am to go out there and kick everyones asses on the road to the top. But like I said earlier, I am not only doing it for The XWF, I am doing it for me too, and that just gives me even more incentive to go out there and beat the livng hell out of Lance Storm. Oh ya, I forgot to mention that its a submission match which makes it even more sweet because everyone knows that I am the master of submissions and that there is not one person in The XWF who can make me tap no mater how hard they try. But I am going to let Storm think that he can, I am just going to go out there and toy with him for a bit at first, just like the lion does with its prey, I am going to let that idiot think he has the advantage, and right when he goes and starts to get cocky, and right when he does, I am going to show him how a Wolverine treats a lowly little animal just trying to get by in the world, I am going to show him why I am The Crippler, and why him being put in this match was possibly one of THE worst things that could ever happen to him.

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. Man, I have never seen you get this worked up over a match before.

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. Well Jack, what you need to know about this is that it is not just another normal match, there is more on the line then just a loss in the record books, my pride is on the line, my pride in The XWF and my personal pride, and my personal pride is much higher than in The XWF. This match is going to be nothing more than a one sided ass kicked, and it is going to be nothing more than me going out there and making an example of Lance Storm, showing him that he does not deserve to be in the same ring as me until he can actually learn to wrestle and showing all of The XWF staff why I am the best damn technical wrestler and why I need to be shown the proper respect around here.

.:|- " Old Highschool Friend " Jack -|:. You think you do not get shown enough respect there?

.:|- " The Crippler " Chris Benoit -|:. No Jack, I dont think that I dont get shown enough respect around here, I damn well know it for a fact that I do not get shown enough respect in The XWF. Just think of when I was here before, everytime that son of a bitch Raven came out during my matches and interfere and attacked me, who came out and helped me? Everytime I was in a match against Raven and he has people come out and attack me, who helped me? Everytime that something happened to me backstage, who came to my rescue? Not one person Jack, not one person had the respect to come and help me when I needed help, so now it is my turn to show those sons of bitches what it is like to be shown no respect, and now that I am going to act like this, if any of them do actually respect me, they can kiss my ass for not helping me when I needed it, they can take that respect and wipe their asses with it because it means nothing to me anymore and I could care less about it. The only thing I care about now is kicking everyones asses and showing them exactly why I am 'The Rabid Wolverine' and 'The Crippler' and why I am not going to be able to be stopped by anyone, why no road block, why no wrestler and why no force of nature is going to be able to stop me, and my first sign of showing this is proving Lance Storm wrong and kicking his ass and then sending out an open challenge to anyone who thinks they have what it takes to PROVE ME WRONG! Now Jack, if you will excuse me I have to go.
