(The feed cuts back to the promo channel 69, Weapon and Claire are seen talking in there hotel room, Claire has managed to unpack most of there stuff and is resting on the bed as Weapon rubs her leg before turning back to the live feed, he is still feeling humorous after his destructive talk of Xtasy and is about to continue, suddenly a knock on the door comes, Claire stands up to answer it, she opens the door and Weapons Manager walks in, Neil Kelly has a smile on his face as he walks in the room.)

Weapon:
Had another Raquel?

Neil:
Huh? No.

Weapon:
Your smiling like you just had sex.

Neil:
Ohh, no, I just saw the first part of your promo, haha, I mean, Xtasy got ripped apart, I have to be here for the rest man.

Weapon:
What about your date?

Neil:
Oh, Raquel can wait.

Weapon:
So you to are serious now?

Neil:
HELL NO, this is a different Raquel!

Weapon:
Damn man, that’s three Raquel’s now man, cant you find a girl with a different name!?!

(Neil laughs as Weapon turns back to the telly, Neil sits back on the bed and opens a can of beer awaiting the start of Leech’s promo. Weapon, shakes his head at the thought of Neil’s women and the small thought of Xtasy’s promo, then looks up at the camera.)

Weapon:
Ok, so we go into part two of this promo, the longest yet, you see Leech, you like Xtasy had to be shallow enough to make something of my long promos, well, how is this on for size so far, any better, you enjoying its length so far, I mean forget the commercial for a second, overall I have been live for 32 minutes, so how’s those tablets working? No not the ones to help you find your dick when you need to lose some stress, the other ones, yeah that’s right, the ones that keep you awake. Working? Good.
Cause now my attention turns to you.

(He picks up the control and presses play the promo begins and Weapon watches carefully a grin over his face as Leech begins talking about him he raises the volume again and listens with amusement as Leech speaks.

“You brag about beating 6pac, freak, Romeo and others. Well those three you just mentioned I also have wins over. I do find it humorous however, you say it is such an insult to lose to me, and yet say freak is a challenge. Sure it may have been a house show, but I have a win over him. Doesn’t that make me more of a challenge?”

Weapon pauses the tape and smiles at the camera, he nods his head, a small amount of appreciation in his expression.)

Weapon:
It seems Leech, I owe you an apology, and I don’t mean one of this lame ass attempts to insult you and say, ‘oh, i'm sorry your such an ass bandit’ or something similar, no, they are rookie tactics that I will leave to the talent less wonders such as Xtasy. No, instead I am apologising to you as for the first time in a long time, I underestimated an opponent, I assumed you were another walk over, another piece of crap, lucky to have the gold, I was wrong, your last promo laid into me deep and made me panic about my relaxed attitude toward you and the match, so I am going to look over the things you have said and take you with extreme caution, both over this week and at Sunstroke.
Now part of this caution is to do to you, the same as I done to Neil, an analysis of the things you said to me just the other day starting with the segment you just saw.
Now I did say it was an insult to lose to you and Freak was a challenge, but because you beat him, you question whether that makes you a bigger challenge then he is?
I have to answer that question simply with a short, no. You see Freak was for me, one of the best guys I have been against full stop, just because you won a worthless house show match against him does not mean you are a bigger challenge or a bigger talent then he is. Now I have never fought you, which is down to part of my under estimate of you, however I have fought Freak, and I know what he can do, Leech, all I have seen of you is your previous matches, bouts you fought in the past that I use in training marking your highs and lows, your strengths and weaknesses, my attitude and ego got the better of me last time and I misjudged you, and paid dearly, however, you also misjudge those you face.
You see Freak is an amazing athlete who – if you hadn’t noticed – has been fighting those in the World Title rankings which in itself shows his ability, and yet you stay in the hardcore division, not showing up to cards, and being absent from the promo channel, now I am not putting down your ability, I learnt my lesson from last time, but I do have to ask, if Freak is always here fighting and improving, and you are no showing, maybe due to personal reasons, maybe due to the case you want the security of the hardcore title as long as possible before you have to defend it and risk losing it, I don’t know, how do you become a bigger challenge?
Freak is the man making the waves here in the CWA, you…Are simply standing still in your position of leadership amongst the hardcore division, not defending your title nor fighting like a champion, again I am not questioning your ability, but I am questioning your confidence of keeping that title you hold over your shoulder at the present time?

Now I think I have made my point clear here, let’s move on.

(Weapon continues with Leech’s promo watching it with delight as leech now speaks of Romeos interference against him, in the match with Cell Block last Saturday at Assault.

“So what, Romeo ended your "Winning Streak" now who the hell is going to end your whining streak? You lose one match and cry about it, one that didn’t even matter anyway. I DO see your name was signed on the dotted line, not Cell’s, so why don’t you get the fuck over it already?”

He pauses the tape once more and this time looks disappointed, as he stares into the camera.)

Weapon:
Ok, so losing my winning streak wasn’t a biggie, ha, losing a match wasn’t that important either, but in this industry, when you have been in it as long as I have and with a history as detailed as mine and Cell’s, losing to my arch enemy is like Spiderman losing to Venom, or Romeo Beating Anyone, it is a feeling that would sink deep into the heart and burst a bubble of anger causing hatred to burn inside you, the hope of vengeance filling you soul, to lose to a man you hate to the extent I hate Cell Block is the sort of thing that does one of two things, makes you? Or breaks you…And Losing last week, made me, It has pushed me harder, it has pushed me to work twice the amount, to do twice the amount, just so I can come back and kick the hell out of Cell Block one last time and make the world see I have been right all along, that Cell is a washed up old man, trying to relive his past glory.
Leech, you were right, my name was signed on the dotted line, ha, but get over my loss, forget about my defeat, move on with my career…Ha, no.
Leech, you should know just as I do, being you are no rookie yourself, if you hate a man to a huge extent, if you have issues with a man to a huge degree, and you walk out to fight him, and end up losing because of some other bitches actions, do you just forget it and move on? Do you just let your enemy and rival walk with the win, without reply?
I don’t think you would, no Determined athlete would.

(He stands up and walks around the bed and opens a draw, pulling out a folder he lays it next to him opposite side of the camera, as he sits down, and continues with leeches last promo;

“I have an Idea for you Weapon... ah hell I’ll call you Nick, the only weapon you have is your mouth, so once I shut it the name will be meaningless. You should really shut your mouth long enough to hear what others have to say. Some of us aren’t saying how badly we are going to hurt the others, no. There are others like myself, who don’t care what you say, and focus more on what to expect. You can call me all the names you want, names matter not. My accomplishments here speak for themselves. Sure you may have many titles under your belt from federations that no longer exist, but like I said, I don’t care about the past. I’m in the here and now, and here and now, I’m on top.”

Weapon suddenly burst out laughing as does Claire and Neil, the three of them seem to be extremely humoured by Leech’s last words, Weapon pauses the tape and calms his laughing down, he breathes deeply before continuing.)

Weapon:
Ok, ok, ok, Leech, this is where things start to change, you sit there and like Xtasy make this big promise, that you are going to shut my mouth, the so called only Weapon I have…Ok…So if my mouth is my only Weapon, how comes I am a capable match winner as you put it?
Leech, I realise some people are not mentioning how bad they are going to do this, and do that, however I see no reason why that would be a problem, even if they were, I mean if they are confident, what the problem? Is it because that fear kicks in once more, of losing that title, when someone mentions what they are going to do, and how they are going to win, your mind panics and once again depends on that gold to allow you to use the lines, ‘I’m on top?’ Last time I checked leech Dizz was on top, actually he still is, you are no more then the hardcore champion, a belt holder leading the group of extremists trained in the division of Weapons and pain.
You are no more then a man with a belt under the shadow of the world champion, you are not on top, that my friend is a over rated impression of yourself, that shows the intensity of your oversized ego. I think you need a re-think of your position in this company, maybe that break I have heard rumoured about you, will give you the time to do that thinking.

Now just like Xtasy, once you got started, you just didn’t stop, lets listen on.

(Weapon plays on the tape again and continues to listen as Leech continues, he hears him mention Cell Block, Neil and Claire quickly look to see Weapon and his anger, but to there surprise, he is calm.

“Nick, I can tell you are a little slow, so let me bring you up to speed on how many times you contradicted yourself, well I really cant think of a number that justifies that. You say time and time again, that Cellblock is a little bitch, and you shouldn’t have lost against him. Then only a few minutes after, you say you are so great for beating him before. So which is it? Is he good, is he not?”

Weapon frowns at the comments and looks slightly annoyed now, but manages to force a smile and continues his analysis.)

Weapon:
Now Leech, you made a good point about Cell Block, but if you think about what I said, you would not have looked so stupid just now, I mean honestly, if you are going to get what I said right, then you can at least remark how it was actually not a contradiction but a comparison of Cell Block back when he was an honourable legend and how he is now a old fool with no real ability, except that to have his buddy’s win matches for him.
Now Leech, your comments on this matter surprised me, you see, normally you are very careful with your words and accusations, yet you failed to recognize that I was remarking how Cell Block was a once great, retired by me, his return has made him no better then Rowdy Piper in the WWE, a washed up old fool with a dream to relive his past, a dream that will never come true. As for me being slow, I am afraid you are wrong twice in a matter of seconds, you see I am not the one making accusations and assumptions that are untrue and incorrect, that my friend, would be you.
And it won’t be the last time you make a fool of yourself. I have seen this Promo already and was surprised at you man, you are trying to tell me you’re a challenge, a real opponent, and I have made a public apology and tried to see that in you, however, you are making rookie mistakes, and for the fans watching this, believe it or not, there are more to come.

(He continues with the tape, Leech is seen again talking of Weapon and 6 Pac, Weapon skips past this knowing there is an element of truth to that section of Leech’s interview, it was one of few parts that impressed the hall of famer.
He then looks disappointed again, the shock on Claire and Neil’s face as Leech make a prime mistake, one not normally mentioned in the same sentence as the hardcore champion, they listen on as Leech speaks his words of amazement.

“Maybe you should change your name to "Lethal Excuses", or "Oral Weapon" From what I’ve personally seen that is all you have. You can tell me all your accomplishments all you want, but I’m NOT impressed. During your stay here, you have beaten the same people I have, and lost to one I never cared enough to face. I don’t give a fuck what you have done in other federations, because I have not seen it. You have aged, and can’t pull off the same shit you used to, so like I said the other day, I focus solely on the present. Past doesn’t mean shit.”

Weapon smiles, the sign of desperation over coming Leech’s promo, at least that’s what Weapon thought, another mention of the name, an irrelevant interest to the match or to Sunstroke, he smiles and not even looking at the camera speaks up.)

Weapon:
Now Leech, I mentioned earlier, that you would make more mistakes, and right there, you made a huge one, I mean come on, Xtasy, yeah I can imagine him using my name against me, or Canadian Hero Possibly, but you, the hardcore champion, a man that claims he is at the top, stooping as low as to try and put me down by using my name…Damn Leech, you have really hurt my feelings.

(Weapon shakes his head in disgust as he thinks of the rookie insult again.)

Weapon:
Leech you want to defend your title and show us all you are a great hardcore champion by waltzing out there at Sunstroke and beating all comers to retain the gold, but if you are going to become as poor as Xtasy, how are we suppose to believe you can back up your words after so much time out of work?
I mean did you actually think about what you were going to say before you said it?

As for Cell Block, your right, he is no big name, a nothing, and if you realise that, then why the hell do you ask me why I am so bothered to lose to him? Why do you ask me why I am not letting go of it? My point exactly.

Now although you really made a poor attempt to down my name you did make one sensible comment, that being that past does not matter, my history means nothing, nor does yours, right here in the CWA, at sunstroke we are making our own history, we are opening our own books, creating our own chapters. You say I haven’t impressed you yet, good, cause if I manage to beat you and the 5 other men in that match at Sunstroke and become the new Hardcore Champion…Only then, will I feel I deserve the respect of those that have fought me and those that have to face me.

Now leech, after those comments, I hoped you would end on that high note and leave it there, but you had to carry on, and make another mistake!

(Weapon continues the tape exposing all the mistakes he has found in his opponents promos, Claire and Neil cannot believe how carefully Weapon has scanned these interviews, this is the most focused they have ever seen him! The Interview continues to another part of the promo.

“Challenge my skill, try and take my dignity, you will fall short every time. But it is very clear it is not the same with you Nick, you have no dignity. I got my hands on the record you are keeping on yourself, a draw? I don’t remember any draw. Is that what you marked your loss as? What’s wrong is the big bad weapon afraid to admit defeat? How childish, why don’t you grow up. It is quite apparent now, you are no where are near as good as you make yourself out to be, you say you have won this and that, but you claim a draw for a loss, I see the pattern. I bet half the belts you claim you never won but felt you SHOULD have, so you add those to your list of accomplishments.

Leech grabs the HC belt sitting right next to him and holds it into the view of the camera.

You see Nick, I actually have this, I won this in a brutal match. That was seen by all in the CWA and has gained me respect, and even respect from the great Mick Foley. Not many people can say that, but I can! Unlike your mythical belts, that you claim to have won, this right here is proof of what I’ve accomplished. Tell me Nick, how many of your "titles" were made out of cardboard? Well actually after thinking that over I bet none of them were, you needed that for your house. If you can get beat by Cellblock you truly are one sad, sad wrestler. But you already knew that, why else would you change your record to make yourself look better? OK I think I’ve wasted enough time on that cry baby now, moving on to Romeo.”

Weapon begins laughing loudly as he listens to the end of Leech’s words toward him, he grabs the folder he places beside him and opens it up, it is the win/loss records of Lethal Weapon and Claire Howell, he quickly flicks through it and laughs again.)

Claire:
A draw, when did you claim to draw?

Neil:
Yeah?

Weapon:
I didn’t, ha, he read your win/loss record Claire, mine says 2 wins and one loss, your simply has one draw! He read the wrong report!

(The three start laughing, normally it wouldn’t be this funny, but Leech had often been known to be good with his homework when it came to his opponents, a advantage that this time worked against him.
He had assumed and worked some quick stats to use on Weapon and had failed miserably throughout to have the effect he wanted only making the odd valid point, the comment about Weapons one draw would be the biggest mistake in the books of Leech, a mistake Weapon enjoyed thinking about.)

Weapon:
Ok, enough of the laughing, it was a another rookie mistake, one I can only assume was due to Leech getting minimal information on me before his first promo deadline, now Leech, I lost to Cell Block, however I do blame it on Romeo, but a pin is a pin, my record clearly stats, 2 wins, 0 draws, and 1 loss. You read the wrong damn report, Claire’s stats, 0 wins, 1 draw, 0 loss’s, the draw you used against me and claimed I had dignity for, was actually nothing to do with me, making you again confuse fans and look like a complete fool in front of the whole roster the staff and the viewers of Promo Channel 69.

Now it was also this ending of your promo against me I noticed you losing your temper, claiming my house is made of cardboard…hmmm… Ok, I wonder how long did that insult take to work up? One, two seconds maybe. I mean come on Leech, my son could have done better!
Oh and as for the damn belt you got, man, brag all you like about that title, cause at Sunstroke It will be the last time you see it, Lethal Weapon is back and better then ever, you think Cell got me down, hell no…He got me Angry! At Sunstroke I take that anger out on all of you, and if I can help it, I WILL BE…THE NEXT…HARDCORE CHAMPION, and you Leech…Will be just…another…name.

(Weapon smiles as Claire and Neil cheer an ending to maybe Weapons greatest Promo ever, he throws the folder out of the picture and grabs his beer toasting to the camera and to Leech, Xtasy and co who are watching, Why is Weapon is such high Spirits and why is he suddenly so focused? They are questions we hope to see answered but when?)
