Vinny raises his microphone to respond.
Vinny Marseglia: I’ve seen this play out many times before, Bray. My opponent, or an associate of my opponent in this case, does everything in their power to dress down all that they can about me in order to create a comfort zone for themselves to dwell in, a psychological safety blanket for them to cover themselves in. The logic behind that being if they tell themselves Vinny Marseglia is nothing to be afraid of, they won’t be afraid and maybe that part works but the other part, thinking I’m not a threat magically making me not one, that doesn’t and the reward for their bravery isn’t a reward at all. You want to talk about denial? You’re in denial, Bray. You’re in denial because, as you said yourself, The Fiend changed your life. The Fiend is your whole world, the best friend you’ve ever had, and now you’re about to have him ripped away from you in the most brutal and infinite way possible and you don’t know how to cope with that except by pleading your heart out in hopes that I won’t follow through on these violent intentions.
Vinny is visibly amused by the idea of him showing mercy for a moment before continuing.
Well my advice to you is stop getting in the way. A life lived without The Fiend to lean on and confide in may not be delightful for you to think about but at least it’s a life. You keep trying to protect him, then I promise you that you’ll join him, and I’ll stop your heart too. You want to wax poetic about your friend, and even I give him his just due, but you take it so far as worship. But that makes this all the sweeter for me, because that’s part of what makes me tick, Bray, taking things away from people that they truly value. Could be a fellow being, could be a possession, could just be an idea or a feeling. Whatever it is I like to rip it away and at Summerslam, I’m taking away what you value the most, your precious Fiend. And without him, like I said, it’s going to be a sad and empty existence for you. What will you do without him guiding you? Will you come after me for vengeance? Will you travel down a road of self-destruction lined with addictive substances and self-harm? It makes me wonder, but much like you don’t care what happens to me, I don’t care what happens to you. In fact, I hope very sincerely that watching your personal Jesus get maimed sends you spiraling over the edge to rock bottom and beyond, because again, what makes me tick is the suffering of others. That’s the core of what playtime is for yours truly.
Vinny leans in closer to Bray.
But something else I want you to remember is this is all your fault. I’m happy that it happened, sure, but it was you that interrupted my return and initiated playtime for Final Battle. It was you that couldn’t back his own claims of being that which can’t be hurt and so on, and as a result of that failure, The Fiend came to your rescue so it’s your fault he’s involved so it’s your fault that I want to destroy him so it’ll be your fault when I do! You say The Fiend doesn’t have a heart, then I’ll stop what he does have! I’ll break loose vertebrae, I’ll puncture organs, I’ll crack open his skull like a watermelon and sever the brain! Whatever I have to do to kill The Fiend once and for all, I’m going to do! And I’m allowed to do it because this is my playground, my game, my rules!
Vinny laughs sadistically for a moment. Suddenly, he returns to a calmer demeanor as he continues.
And do you know what you can do about it? Revere me. Fear me. And bow down to your, “Horror King”.
Vinny lowers his microphone again.

Bray slowly raises with a serious look on his face, once it's up to his lips he pauses and then lowers it again. After a few moments staring Vinny down, he starts to smile and then breaks into a full laugh. Chuckling and laughing vibrantly before he finally goes to speak. Bray Wyatt: I have to say, you're so much different than I thought you'd be. I thought you were somewhat like me, that you had a bit of a sight I do and just needed a push to realize you don't belong. But no...No you're just a scared man trying his hardest to keep hold of what he worked so hard for, and for some people it's the Worlds Heavyweight Championship, for others it's their career, but for you...it's your reputation. You've run around UWF in the past scaring people so long, you don't know what to do with yourself when that tactic doesn't work. I mean you created this match against Larry Sweeney, who spent most of his time trying to convince himself he wasn't afraid and he was going to come out on top than anything else. He was raving mad on Wrestlemania Night because you burrowed your way into his head, brother. Look at me, you're not in anyones head but your own right now. Do you know how I know that? Bray laughs again and puts his head down as he takes a moment in laughter before he flips his hair back and continuesHell I can give you the answer you'd understand, but truth be told there's more than one reason why I know. I can Smell it on you, I can feel it in the way you talk, even now you're voice almost changed from when you were out here alone. Look at you, you're trying to point things out that aren't even happening. I never dressed you down brother, hell I even told you to your face that you could beat me. The only thing I stated, which seems to have stuck in your craw, is that you're not THE best. That's how your humanity presented itself my man, that pride in you is so great and you need to be the best. Horror is how you get in peoples minds, but it's all to make sure you get all the credit. You have to be the top of the food chain, you have to be the scariest, you have to be the one who created the best match, You You You. Look at me man, I ain't out here going down the list... I'm out here warning you about what you've done. You see me man, I am beyond what you can fathom...But H̷e̸...H̸e̶ came because you wanted to make a lot of noise. If you remember correctly in that addled mind, I wanted you to do all you did and my only issue is that it woke H̴i̶m̷ up. But the difference between you and me brother, it's that men fear what you can do to them...while they fear the idea of me. You the man, are just a man. Proven by the men who have beat you one on one, the technicians and powerhouses...The Joes, The Blacks, hell I believed Larry when he said he could beat you. But he couldn't beat your Axe, so with an Axe you may be one of the most dangerous men alive.Bray stops pacing with his head down his eyes looking down at the ground as he continues speaking in a cold monotone voice.But you don't face another man, You don't face someone you can use fear and weapons against to get an advantage. You talk about all these things you'll do, as if you'll get the chance. You'll go as far as H̷e̸ will allow, I'm not afraid to lose anything Vinny. Because I am the circle, and the Circle always comes around. You took your hiatus once before, but this time I want you to live in what you've created for yourself. Your biggest losses were all great showings for you, matches you can be proud of. I just want to know if you're going to be just as proud, when you asked for the opponent, you created the match type, and you called yourself the most feared and dangerous entity in this company. All to end with your heart beating it's last beat, in that moment Vinny...When your heart stops, it will signal the death of your reign. And when you are brought back, you will be brought back in the knowledge that everything you believed was a lie...You will have to live a life as Just Vinny Marseglia...No Longer Feared, No Longer Revered. The Horror King will be dead, Long Live The King.

While Champion and Contender are locked in a Leone-esque staredown, Bayley steps around her step-brother with her right hand wrapped around her microphone and her left balled into a fist. The capacity crowd perks up cause it looks The "Good Guy" is looking for a fight, and her words confirm as much.Bayley: I oughta slug ya, ya mother fu - A classic kerffufling of bodies and microphones leads to short cacophony in the ring, with Kyle pulling Bayley back for a change before things can get out of hand. No doubt McIntyre would have been happy to run back the fight with her that's still got Bayley in a bad mood, but somehow cooler heads prevail as Kyle guides his step-sister back into the far corner and away from trouble. They share a few words off mic, the crowd still buzzing to fill the airspace, before the Diabetic Dragon turns around to address his opponent again.KO'R: You better watch your mouth buddy cause I got half a mind to let her wail on you. And if you thought she tough last time, just wait till you see how much more dangerous she is now that she's super pissed off.Bayley does some more off-mic chirping from back in that corner, confirming that she'd be all that a bag of potato chips in a rematch. While the fans are eager as beavers to see them go another round, this fight is gonna have to remain a war of words as Kyle continues.KO'R: I don't exactly know what it says about her or you/i] or that belt or the last guy to hold it that my step-sister got your shoulders on this mat more "Mr. Mayor" ever could. But if you're gonna stomp around here all loud and proud with your fuzzy chest puffed out acting like you're the first and best guy to ever even win a world title - like nobody had ever even thought about being a piece of spit to get the job done until you came around - then maybe its my job as the Number One Effing Contender to shove some humble pie down your pie-hole. Mostly that looks like me telling you that winning one measlylittle fight against the most overhyped champ in history looks a lot less special when you get taken to the limit by somebody who only wrestles like... what? Three times a year? Back in the corner, Bayley crosses her arms and is all like "Yeaaaaaah" in a classic sororal tone. KO'R: Its all good though. Stay cocky. Keep on keeping on like being the biggest, nastiest, jerk-off jerk in the room isn't a problem that's been figured out a hundred times before. Crap all over that "fairy tale" ending like this whole company hasn't been built on the backs of David's killing Goliath's. Make fun of me being nostalgic till your face is blue as your dumb little skirt, just don't forget that I was right there front-and-center when the diciest, sneakiest, most-shortcut-iest, unbeatable champ in Revolution history got backhanded by a mega dose of what-goes-around-comes-around.
History's kinda boring, but that doesn't mean it isn't important, and if you're gonna ignore it then I'm gonna kill you with it. I know how your story ends cause I've seen it before. Frick dude, its not even that different from Trevor Lee's. Its next big thing after next big thing after next big thing and one by one you all fall down because relying on backstabbing and cheap shots and lucky breaks only gets you so far, even when you're a six-five, nineteen-stone ogre who oughta know better.Bayley yells something like "before I met Drew I didn't know they stacked shit that high" but Kyle keeps on talking without missing a beat.KO'R: But me? I'm proudly in that Spike Dudley, OC, Uso Brother line of warrior. Yeah, that's right. Those guys that were too small - the guys you wrote off as jokes but who showed up and gave it their all each and every week until they became undeniable. The bosses never wanted to give them title shots cause they don't trust underdogs but every once in a while someone shows up and flips the script and changes the way this world spins - like that one single meteor that massacred each and every last dinosaur.
That's who I am, Drew. I'm not one win on one night - I'm a sum total of jaw-dropping, odds-breaking, head-turning results. Everyone takes one look at you and thinks "Chosen One" cause you're a monster chiseled out of nightmares. I've spent the past year punching my way through a crowd of A-holes who kept telling me I was the worse half of a dead tag team and a joke for trying to prove otherwise. But I did prove otherwise and now nobody's laughing. All they're doing now is wondering what happens when the prick with a toy sword tries to keep his gold belt away from an honest-to-gosh Diabetic Dragon.With that quandary posed - with some flared nostrils on Kyle's part to really sell that "Dragon" thing - the Canuck lowers his microphone, opening up the floor for McIntyre again.

Touch the sky by Kanye West blasts over the speakers, Ricky Starks struts out onto stage, sunglasses on and mic in hand. As usual he has that trademark cocky grin on his face and is doing a mock clap for LA Knight after his speech there. Ricky would raise the mic to his lips.
Ricky Starks: Well gentlemen sorry for making y’all wait there. Ricky Starks had some business to deal with but I realized the business out here required my attention the most, my ears have been burning at all the mentions of little old me and I thought i’d finally give the people what they want and make my way out here, to the wonderful city of NEW YORK. Concrete jungle were dreams are made of.
The crowd would pop at the cheap mention of both their city and the Alicia Keys song.
Ricky Starks: And trust me gentlemen when I say that someones dream is going to come true at Summerslam and that is the dream of Ricky Starks. You see, all you have mentioned about how I am the new guy around here. Spike saying he had to scratch and claw just for a damn contract were as Ricky Starks walked to the front of the queue and right into one of the biggest matches in the UWF, the Money in the Bank. That briefcase up there guarantees you a shot at the Big Man round here, whether come the end of Summerslam thats Drew or Kyle, it doesn’t matter. What matters is, that contract is coming home with Ricky Starks.
Ricky would begin to saunter down to the ring.
Ricky Starks: You see Spike, you’re right, I did get handed this opportunity while you’ve had to work for everything but thats because you have everything to prove and I have nothing to prove because everyone knows Ricky Starks is the next big thing in wrestling and Spike Dudley, well you’re not even the biggest thing at the Dudley compound, that would be the legs of your lady friend Stacey over there and unless you’re gonna get on top of the shoulders supported by those dynamite gams, I doubt any ladder will be tall enough for you to reach the briefcase.
In a shocking turn, the crowd would start booing Ricky. The crowd may like him but the worlds greatest underdog is a beloved UWF legend. Ricky would look slightly taken aback but would shrug.
Ricky Starks: Ok, maybe that was a bit of a low blow by Ricky Starks and I went a bit too far but can you blame me folks. The excitement in the air for this type of match. I feel like a broken record for saying this again but this match is maybe the most important in the UWF and the field is one of the best, especially after the announcement that Orange Cassidy will now be joining us in the match, that will be fun to see if he even knows how to get up a ladder because to my knowledge your hands need to be on the rungs instead of in your pockets to climb up.
This would get a slight chuckle from the crowd, Ricky, having made it to the ringside area, would walk up the steel steps and stand on the apron.
Ricky Starks: Man I look in this ring and I do see some talent. We have legends like Spike. Old guard like Warhorse and newer guys like me, LA Knight, now what i’m confused at is why i’m getting shade thrown at me when Roman, who has only been here a couple months more than me and in that time, no offense to Roman, has done jackshit. I mean when were tagging recently who was it that got the pin off a magnificent Spear. It wasn’t the Tribal Chief, it was Ricky Starks but based off the fact you sent Solo to deal with me Roman, it shouldn’t come as a shock that the Tribal Chief needs people to do the job for him. He can’t even be bothered to come out here and face ua but I guess Paul E had to put him down for his nap. You know how cranky the Tribal Chief can get.
The crowd would ooh at this, Ricky would flash a cocky smile at the screen were Roman appeared
Ricky Starks: I mean come on if he can’t take this match serious enough to come out here and have a powwow face to face with the rest of us, I don’t know how I can acknowledge him as “Tribal Chief”. He isn’t even here to do that if I wanted to. Mr Knight however you are here and I just wanted to set the record straight, you want to call Ricky Starks a rip off but before I came out here and faced you, I swore it was Dwayne Johnson himself out here, well a pale, less talented Dwayne Johnson. Think less “The Rock” and more “Rocky Maivia”, YEAH.
Ricky would stay on the apron.
Ricky Starks: I thought “The Shark'' was a shameless rip off but no I just had to come find you Mr Knight and its like looking at one of those funhouse mirrors but I seem to be having a trend of facing rip offs because one again I come face to face and sadly, smell with the Warhorse. Man you might just win this match based on the fact that nobody is going to want to touch one of those ladders after you. We’re going to need to have hand sanitizer on deck for this match folks but I will admit Horsey, you maybe are the best equipped for this match, I mean you do like to injure yourself for the sake of entertainment so maybe Ricky Starks will just lie in wait till you get the urge to jump off….
Before Ricky can continue he is cut off by the arrival of……

DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE SHARK IS COOKING?Tupac's 'All Eyez On Me' hits the PA system and the crowd collectively groan as The Shark saunters out onto the stage. The Shark looks around at the disapproving crowd with a typically smug look plastered across his face. The Shark raises a singular eyebrow before he pulls out a microphone from his back pocket and begins to talk... The Shark: Finally... The Shark has come back to New York City... The react negatively as The Shark's expression turns sour. And ever since The Shark has touched ground here in the city that never sleeps The Shark has been inundated with questions. What do you make of the Money in The Bank Ladder match?... what do you think of your opponents?... and while you're here, what do you think about The Big Apple. Well it's real simple to The Shark because ever since The Shark came to town and gave this rotten apple a real giant in sports to look upto he's been met with nothing but abuse. Nothing but jealousy and nothing but inflammatory remarks from the jabronis that inhabit this stinking, rotten crime ridden cesspool of a city. So what does The Shark think about The Big Apple?, well it's real simple, The Shark thinks it sucks. What does The Shark think about Money in The Bank ladder matches?, The Shark thinks they suck and as for his opponents, well The Shark would give you all time to think about it - but he ain't got all night til you put those collective brains cells together to come up with an answer... The Shark thinks every single one of those jabronis in the ring, and all the jabronis still to come out here... absolutely suck and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as a true star, a true giant of this industry - the true one and only Great One, yours truly... The Shark.'ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE' chants breaks out. The Shark waits for them to hush before continuing.This time last year - The Shark was involved in the match of the summer, the biggest fight of the season - the night where The Shark put an end to the career of CM Punk. It was a turning point for The Shark, it was the night that put it all in motion before The Shark became the two time UWF Champion. Now The Shark might've worn a mask back then, he might've been hiding his real identity from the world - he may have been running around like some sort of parody act - but make no mistake about it, all that time, it was The Shark under the mask. It took until just a few short months ago for The Shark to see the light and to bless all of the jabroni Shark Boy marks with the truth of who The Shark is and what The Shark is about. Namely, gold, glory... and more gold. But hey, the point is still there - last year Summerslam was the turning point, the big lift off for ol' Shark Boy and this year it's going to be the exact same for The Shark because this year The Shark is going to get himself one of the few accolades he hasn't held here in the UWF. The Shark's held almost every title there is but The Shark has never held the Money in The Bank briefcase... and The Shark thinks it's high time that someone with some money on their name held that briefcase and gave it the shine it sorely needs.The Shark pauses for a moment, continuing to saunter towards the ring at a relaxed pace as the crowd berate him from either side of the ramp. Let's look at the list of guys that have held that briefcase... Seth Rollins, a jabroni no name who ducked The Shark for months and hid behind a certain 'Tribal Chief' standing there. Minorou Suzuki?, he might've been good - but let's face it, he wasn't around when The Shark was here and it's a good thing he wasn't because The Shark would've whipped his candy ass and sent him back to Japan. Then there's Rey Mysterio - a guy The Shark ran through just a last week. Eric Young?... never heard of him and then there's Bray Wyatt... let's face facts - the guy, much like Shark Boy, hides behind a mask most of the time - and much like Shark Boy, Bray Wyatt ain't nothing more than a jabroni playing dress up. Only difference is the guy under the Shark Boy mask has balls whatever Bray Wyatt is clearly does not. Right through the lineage - not a single stand out star performer... nobody that can hold a candle to The Shark and quite frankly not a single name fit to carry The Shark's jock. The Sharks steps up the steps and along the apron before climbing up to the top rope looking down at all of his opponents.And that's fitting because there is not one of you pieces of trash that's fit to hold The Shark's jock either. The Shark looks around at all his opponents with a great intensity in his eyes. Some of you might've held gold... some of you might even have had a brush with the main event but there's only one of us that's done it year after year and you're looking at him. He goes by many names... People's Champion... Great One... sure fire Hall of Famer... Grand Slam Champion... the single most electrifying shark in the deep blue sea... but you can call him The Shark. But when it's all said and done, when all the bodies lay crumpled in a heap, steel bent and smashed everywhere... through it all... when it's all said and done there's another accolade you can add to The Shark's career and another name you can add to the list... Mister Money in The Bank... if you smell what The Shark is cooking?

Having had a few moments to process both O’Reilly’s barbs and Bayley’s eagerness for a fight, McIntyre looks across at both of them, keeping his composure firmly in check for the time being before issuing them with a response. Drew McIntyre: You know what, I’ll give some credit where it’s due. Your malfunctioning hotbox of a step-sister who works a part time in ring schedule did indeed put up way more of a fight than the previous incumbent of this championship managed to. It was an admirable effort by all accounts. But if you guys want to stand here and waste time by trying to find the little victories that have ultimately still stemmed from defeat, then please, knock yourselves out. What’s undisputed here is that I put her to sleep that night, and if there’s another opportunity to do it again at some point further down the line, then you’re not going to get a no from this camp.Whilst there’s no love for McIntyre on offer, the thought of him and Bayley locking horns again does excite some sections of the crowd. The killjoy Scotsman however is keen to keep a lid on expectations. Drew McIntyre: But maybe that eagerness for another arse kicking will lessen once Summerslam is in the books and I’ve done what neither of you are capable of admitting, and that’s putting this threat to rest by slaying the Dragon. Now sure, I get that there’s nothing all that glamorous about the bigger dog in the fight giving the smaller one it’s just desserts, but the reason why this is the situation that we find ourselves in is because my emphasis since returning has been on conducting business in the most impactful way possible and not giving two shit’s about whether people that don’t matter think it looks good or not. So whilst I am now very much the one being ‘hunted’, when it comes to what I am all about, you’re gonna learn that the way I defend is as equally terrifying as the way I attack.Now pacing back and forth like a mindful predator protecting its keep, McIntyre keeps both O’Reilly and Bayley in his field of vision so as to ensure that he remains focussed on the developing situation as tension continues to build. Drew McIntyre: And then perhaps you’ll be man enough to acknowledge that comparing my story to Trevor Lee’s wasn’t the wisest of calls to make, along with the realization that facing me as a prize for winning the King of the Ring tournament was very much a case of you drawing the wrestling game short straw. You see no amount of jaw dropping or head turning moments that you claim to be capable of producing are going to help change your fortunes in this instance, and whilst I don’t dispute that the threat I see before me is greater than the ones that I’ve faced recently, as far as the final verdict goes, this is one head that isn’t for turning, no matter how hard you try and hit it.Whilst the composure remains in check, it is clear that the words from the challenger have indeed gotten under the champ’s skin as he takes a moment to pause, stand still and reflect for a moment before following up with more. Drew McIntyre: Since being back on Revolution I’ve made a point of going by one moniker, and that’s despite several wrestlers trying to either re-label me with other ones that may have been appropriate once upon a time, or ignoring the one that I go by because they are in denial of what it is that they are up against. But the ignorance of others is something that I will gladly use as a weapon against them, as it serves to make dishing out deserved punishment that bit sweeter. And as cruel as it sounds, I gain an additional sense of pleasure from being able to give that underdog story that you care so passionately about the saddest ending imaginable, because the way I see it now is that it’s better to be heartless and completely in control than to have your heart crushed chasing unrealistic and frankly unachievable dreams.Basically admitting to being an outright bully is never going to go down well with a crowd who paid to see heroes, and this is no different as the majority in attendance give Drew a piece of their mind, which he completely ignores as he continues to drill his point home to the Human Swiss Army Knife. Drew McIntyre: So unless you can take the plunge and shake the mindset of ‘the brave little wrestler that could’, and in doing so show me and everybody else watching that you have the tools required to be the same kind of cold, brutal, heartless bastard that I am, you’d better tell Bayley to give the border office an advanced heads up that I’ll be shipping you back to Canada in the shape of several broken, battered and bruised pieces.McIntyre lowers the mic again and resumes pacing back and forth slowly as he awaits O’Reilly’s next response.

Warhorse looks around and sniffs. He doesn’t smell anything, whatever the Shark is cooking might be particularly bland and rubbery. He raises his microphone up. WARHORSE: WOW, NICE ONE ASSHOLE. DON’T DIRECTLY MENTION ME AT ALL WHEN WE ALL KNOW I OUT OF EVERYONE IN THIS FUCKING MATCH SHOULD BE THE ONE YOU FEAR. I BEAT YOUR ASS ON PAY-PER-VIEW, DON’T LET IT SLIDE. AND I MEAN HELL, LIKE ALL OF YOU SHITHEAPS IN THE RING NOW, YOU CAME OUT HERE WITH SOME MASSIVE ESSAY LIKE SPEECH. WOW. YOU CAN TALK, WE GET IT, YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND JIZZ ALL UP IN YOUR PANTS. WELL DONE. I’M PROUD OF YOU. BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT TYPE OF ATTITUDE TO BRING TO THE TABLE, HUH?
VANITY IN TRUE SPOTLIGHT, WE HAVE HERE. I BET YOU ALL LOVE A BIT OF THIS. “I SHOULD BE THE MAN BECAUSE MY MOTHER DOESN’T LOVE ME.” IT’S WHAT YOU ALL SOUND LIKE. IT’S JUST DIFFERENT PHRASING, AND I’M SURE YOU KNOW IT.
I’VE NEVER LANDED ON A CATCHPHRASE BUT IT SEEMS YOU ALL HAVE. I RULE ASS, COOL, THAT’S NOT A GIMMICK, THAT’S JUST WHAT I TEND TO DO. ALL OF YOU GOONS ACT LIKE I’M THE BIGGEST CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS WHEN YOU ALL MAKE IT YOUR LIVES TO BE GOOFS. TO BE ABSOLUTE DISGRACES TO YOUR LINEAGE.
I BET IT MAKES YOU MIGHTY. IF ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY HAD DECENT MONEY IN THE BANK, YOU’D JUST LEAVE RIGHT NOW. MAYBE THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE ALL PINING FOR. A PAYDAY AND A RUNAWAY. I WONDER WHERE I’VE HEARD THAT SHIT BEFORE. OH RIGHT, PRETTY MUCH EVERY UWF CHAMPION TO EVER GODDAMN EXIST.
YOU ALL SAY THIS STUFF, YOU ALL PRETEND YOU ACTUALLY CARE, BUT I’VE SEEN A HUNDRED MEN LIKE YOU ALL, AND YOU’D THINK THE FANS WOULD START NOTICING THESE PATTERNS. IT MAKES ME SICK, FRANKLY. THAT WE ALL STAND AROUND HERE AND STICK THAT OUT. SO, WHAT’S IT TO ALL OF YOU?Warhorse looks around. L… A… GOD I’M FALLING ASLEEP TRYING TO REPEAT THOSE PAUSES. IT MAKES ME SNOOZY WATCHING ANY MATCH YOU’VE EVER BEEN IN, BUD. AND IF YOU THINK ALL THIS SPORT IS TALKING THEN YOU MIGHT BE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING EVENTUALLY. WHAT DO THE FANS EVEN SEE IN YOU?
THE BEST INSULT RICKY STARKS OVER HERE COULD COME UP WITH IS THAT HE DOESN’T LIKE THE SMELL OF A REAL MAN. HE DOESN’T LIKE THE TRUE ODOURS OF A FIGHTER. IT’S PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE HE’S NEVER TRIED HARD ENOUGH TO SWEAT. YOU THINK I DON’T SHOWER? HOW WOULD I MAINTAIN A HEAD OF HAIR THIS LUSCIOUS? I JUST PUT MYSELF OUT THERE ENOUGH.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW THIS ROMAN REIGNS GUY. WHO IS HE? I DON’T KNOW, DON’T REALLY CARE EITHER TO BE HONEST. ALL I’VE HEARD IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH RESPECT? HUH. HUH. GOOD JOB I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY LACK OF IT, ESPECIALLY FROM ASSHOLES WHO DEMAND IT. I MAKE IT MY JOB TO LEAVE BOOT MARKS IN STUCK UP ASSHOLES LIKE THAT. FUCK PEOPLE LIKE THAT. DIDN’T EVEN SHOW HIS FACE IN THIS RING.
IT’S JUST A LOT OF THE SAME YOU TWO, HIM TOO. MOTHERFUCKERS THAT DON’T HAVE IT IN THEM TO TRY HARD ENOUGH TO POUR BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS. PEOPLE DON’T MAKE IT THEIR LIVES. PEOPLE DON’T ROTATE AROUND THIS. IT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE CENTRE OF THEIR WORLDS. AND I DON’T NEED TO TELL YOU ALL THAT, AS I’M SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE ONLY GIVING IT 80% AT BEST.
SO YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TALK AND STICK IT. AS I KNOW I’VE ALWAYS STAYED TRUE TO MYSELF, BEEN MORE OF A FIGHTER, A RELENTLESS FORCE, THAN ANYONE WHO’S EVER WALKED THROUGH THOSE ROPES.Warhorse backs up. I’M BEGINNING TO FEEL SICK OF IT. I ALMOST JUST WANT TO WIN THIS OUT OF SPITE OF ALL OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS. YOU ALL ACT LIKE YOU’RE LOVE BOMBING THE SECOND YOU GET ANNOUNCED FOR AN OPPORTUNITY. THEN YOU SUDDENLY TRY, THEN YOU WANT THE FANS ATTENTION. IT’S LIKE CLOCKWORK, THE WAY YOU ALL WORK. IF YOU EVEN WON, HOW LONG WOULD ANY OF YOU BE CHAMP? A MONTH? TWO? THREE. TOPS. AND THEN IT’LL BE ANOTHER FIGURE FORGETTABLE IN HISTORY.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU LOT MAKE US FEEL SMALL. MAKE ALL OF THIS FOR NOTHING. KILL BUZZ. AND WHATEVER ELSE WE HAVE GOING FOR US. AND IT’S SAD, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. BUT WHATEVER IT IS, YOU COULD ALL DO WITH A LITTLE MORE SELF AWARENESS.Warhorse lowers his microphone yet again.

Vinny raises his microphone with a smile.
Vinny Marseglia: I won’t get the chance to carry out anything I’ve said I’ll do, hmm? Well you gravely underestimate me and overestimate your precious compatriot, but I knew that so that part, not really surprising. Amusing but expected. No what caught my attention was you saying I’ll go as far as he’ll allow, as if I’m tethered to his every whim being carried out like you are. Vinny Marseglia has no master, Bray, and this is a match without restrictions so I’ll go as far as I want to go and The Fiend, you, EC3, the UWF board of supervisors, the athletic commission, the censors, no one can or will say otherwise.
But you also say I’m a scared man, and that you yourself have nothing to lose. You have everything to lose, Bray, you just think you don’t because of the sense of comfort you have due to The Fiend’s being around. When things get dicey, like they did at Final Battle, he fights your battles for you and it works because up until now, everyone to face him has been a scared man but not me. If I was scared at all why would I have issued such a challenge? If I was scared why would I continue to poke the bear and say his name and such? What you would call delusion? Insanity? No, man, this is Inksanity.
I’m going to tell you what I told Larry Sweeney before the first Last Heart Beating match years ago. The memory will live on, because I’m going to boast about annihilating The Fiend after it happens. I’m going to put that accomplishment in my hat like another blood soaked feather or, more fittingly, put it in my crown like another bloodied jewel. Because of pride? Sure. Because I want to be revered? Absolutely. We’ve both said it, Bray, there’s only room in the UWF for one horror icon. And you’re looking into his eyes right now.
Vinny drops his microphone as he remains fixated on holding eye contact with Bray.

Bray Wyatt: Naaah Brother Nah nah nah, that's where you're wrong. See haha, see there you go again talking about being a Horror Icon. This isn't about that, it's never been about that. You claim to be the king, I state I am the New Face of Fear, but even then I'm not here to be an icon. That's an accolade created in your own egotistical mind, that's your need to be praised. You're the child at the birthday party trying to get all the attention on him even though it's not his party, who can't understand that not every day is about him. Look at me man, haha, I come and go because I'm fulfilling the Circles needs, I ain't here to be praised, I ain't here to be cheered or jeered. I'm here for something more, something you don't even comprehend. But what's important to note here man, what's incredibly important to make clear here...Is what He is here for. Not to be an Icon, not to be Revered, You're looking for praise and acknowledgment...H̴e̸ is looking for Pain and Destruction. A screeching being wandering the land of the living for mere moments at a time, think if you will for a moment my brother. You want everyones eyes on you that's why you do the things that you do, but H̶e̴...H̴e̸ doesn't even want H̵i̸s̴ name uttered. You talk about the first Last Heart Beating match, and you bring up that people have feared H̸i̸m̷...but...But man I can tell you that there are men who had no fear in their hearts...Who gritted their teeth and went headlong to faceH̸i̸m̷.Bray pauses and wipes his faces with his hand, as if he's holding back from crying.And yet, I'm not talking about them. I'm not name dropping, or gloating about them. Because I...I ain't proud of what H̶e̴ does. It is a necessity, The Circle must go around and these men... These men paid for their sins, and so will you. You very well may continue on, since you won't be locked away in a casket you will be easily accessible to medical professionals. And I'm happy for that, truly I am man, because I don't want you gone. But know that you will change, you will be ripped of your sense of self. When you strike, and claw, and find nothing but your own hurt inside...it will change you. You will never forget it, you talk about the things you've done. But what happens at Summerslam, I will never utter again. I will continue life trying to ignore the pain caused to you, allowing you peace from this hardship in your life. Because unlike you and what you've done, I know I won't have to remind anyone...H̴e̸ will take a piece of you with H̸i̸m̷ and replace it with the memory of your encounter for the rest of your life. Bray smiles as he looks Vinny eye to eye.Do you feel it Vinny? The Change in the air? The overwhelming weight of H̵i̸s̴ presence? Because it will surround you from now on, when you try and forget about this day...when you try to live a normal life or get back to being a successful professional wrestler. It will send a shiver down your spine, that only you will feel. To the rest of the world, you may get back on track...You may retain your status as the Horror King in peoples eyes, but you and I will know something only a select few have. I hope you can carry it with you to great things, because the last men could not continue on. H̶e̴...He lives within all of us, and now...Now you invite H̸i̸m̷ to this match and you think you're going to be made Famous for it. You think this is a big step in furthering your career, in proving yourself to be better than others. Vinny, this is where you go to become a husk. Vinny Marseglia, never to utter the name he so mightily speaks now...You called this a bloody feather in your cap, when in reality it will be the thing you will avoid talking about...you will try to forget...you will attempt to move on from. But listen here brother, it has you now...and the only thing you can do...isBray lowers his microphone and just stares at Vinny with cold almost lifeless eyes, his pupils seeming to dilate as the lights flash red for a moment as a roaring electrical voice is heard reverberating throughout the arena. L̴̺̰̕e̵̗̞̘̋̌T̶̞̬̩́ ̸̬̗̠͐͛M̴̦͉͉̍Ẻ̸͙̭̕͝ ̷̡͖͛̀İ̸͍̎͐N̴̠̑̈́͊.

Vinny picks up his microphone to respond.
Vinny Marseglia: I’m the one that wants attention? Bray, Bray, Bray. It wasn’t that long ago that your exact words were, “Look at me” when you addressed me and when we fought at Final Battle. Well I’m looking at you, Bray, I’m looking right at you because you’re the one standing in for The Fiend and doing his talking for him. It’s funny, a man that used to play with puppets has himself become a puppet. But that’s fine, advocate for him all you like because in the end, you’re not going to make a believer out of me. You’ve heard that actions speak loudest but since Final Battle, The Fiend hasn’t done anything. He’s had opportunity after opportunity after opportunity but, so far, it’s just been you telling ghost stories about him. So you can think it’s stubbornness, denial, a coping mechanism, or what have you, the bottom line is I don’t fear The Fiend because he’s given me no reason to.
And that’s disappointing because after listening to your sermons about him all these weeks both from afar and up close, I expected more. After seeing him with my own two eyes, I expected more. It’s still going to be loads of fun eviscerating him at Summerslam and I’ll savor every drop of blood, but this whole thing has been anticlimactic in a way, you know? But to be fair, that’s probably more your fault than his because how can he possibly live up to the hype you’ve created? I gave him his due as being at the top of the macabre food chain and acknowledge that bumping him out of existence will be a huge accomplishment but there’s still part of me that’s going….that’s it? But regardless, he wants let in? I’ll let him in, but you’re both going to wish I hadn’t and you’re both going to wish you never got my attention in the first place. That’s a promise. I’m going to do whatever it takes, even if it means my heart getting stopped too because it’s like I said in the beginning, no one gets one over on the, “Horror King” which, in this case, means if I gotta die, you better believe someone else is going with me.
