:The camera fades in to see DVD in his gym sitting on his weight bench with sweat rolling down his face, he does not recognize the camera is in the room but begins to speak anyway:
DVD……So here we sit……mere hours away from the APW Tag Title match. Just a few hours away from my first opportunity to embolden in gold the next chapter of The New Era of Van Dam! This one has a twist though….I do not have my old buddy Mikey Z in there corner…..I do not have my lifelong friend Icon there for me to rely on in the corner….I do not have Kyle Murphy who I know can carry the match if I just don’t have it…..I don't have one half of The Immortal Outlawz Amp there either…….I have Ms. Rose….an undoubtable wildcard who over the last two months I have grown to despise…..a woman I know who I owe a debt to which in time WILL be paid.
:The camera pans to the corner of the room where Dave's customized Lilianna Rose chair is propped up in the corner:
DVD….That debt however will have to wait as first we make our mark on the APW Tag Team division and wrap those titles around our waist but I find myself in a conundrum……Derrick never heard of you…..don't really care…….because at the end of the night you will be irrelevant and relieved of your unjustified title you currently have residing around your waist. The ambivalence towards you is not meant to be a sign of disrespect.
:DVD pauses for a moment and shrugs his shoulders and laughs:
DVD….Well I guess it is. I could honestly give two rats shriveling testicles who you are…All I see in front of me is gold and a face from the past. So my only advice for you is this…Enjoy the time you have with that title…..go see your family and take all the pictures you can…do as many meet and greets as you can between now and the time the bell rings because once that bell rings for the second time all you will be hearing is……And New APW World Tag Team Champions….Liliana Rose and The Immortal Icon Dave Van Dam! Just do me a favor please….Please shine up my title.
:Dave stands up from the bench and walks over to a trophy cabinet located in his gym. The camera pans around the case and stop as Dave opens the case and takes out a picture. The picture is of Ragin Dead, Michael Pettis, Icon and DVD sitting around a picnic table with beers in their hand. They look happy.:
DVD….Sara….I am disappointed in you. You play down the relationship I had with both your father and your husband. I watched you grow into the woman you are today. I was there for years as your husband, father and I paraded around organizations for the last fifteen years making our mark every where we went. I heard you say you couldn't believe I was still around…..what exactly shocks you about that? The fact I'm still relevant in this business or the fact that Ms. Rose and I are going to be the ones to take your title? So, while the world may think the coyness and moderate lack of respect you showed is something cute, I know it is nothing more than time filler bravado who was taught to you by the best this business has had to offer for fifteen years. I just hope you realize that as you broach about your multi-world titles reigns and all you have accomplished in this business when you are standing across the ring with me your list of accomplishments are similar to that of a mouse bragging about how much cheese they gathered right before they get their neck broke by a mouse trap.
:Dave wipes the dust from the picture:
DVD…We all forget the past when the now keeps putting shiny things in front of us. I appreciate you saying that all Derrick must do is show up. It show's your ignorance and even more so your lack of memory and what I am capable of. So, go ahead yuck it up looking past Liliana and me. Go ahead and talk about all the tag team's that aren't here anymore, go ahead and waste my time, your time, and the time of all the APW fans with that tired rhetoric. Just know though that once that bell rings and you are standing across the ring with The Immortal Icon and Ms. Rose none of that nonsense will matter because your fortune telling skills are not comparable to the self-centered grandiose in ring ability you claim to possess. I am no freak…I am no witch….I am not fucking Harry Potter and can not see the future but if you remember anything about Good Ole' Uncle Dave you will remember that when I make a promise…It happens.
:DVD pauses and turns back to the weight bench and sits back down:
DVD….With that being said princess I PROMISE you this….and listen carefully……Liliana are going to stroll into World War Wrestling…..we are going to embarrass you and Derrick as we climb rung by rung on that ladder and as you lay on your back and look up as we strap those titles around our waists know that you looking past Ms. Rose and I is what sealed your fate. I would have thought that Mike and The Ragin One would have educated you a little better as you have built your legendary career but then again they haven’t even accomplished what I have in this business so I guess that missing lesson you require to put the cherry on top of your career can only be taught by The Immortal One and that is one in humility. Princess it will be good to see you again…Just wish it didn't result in us embarrassing you.
:The Camera fades out on Dave laying back down on the bench.:
