[Black screen, and a voice.]

VO: You know, Bobby, breaking my first message in half wasn't very polite -- and it wasn't too smart, for that matter. You can't stop the signal, Taylor, and there are all sorts of other places to air this little pile of grievances! The Internet is a haven of free speech, where the oppressed and downtrodden are free to express themselves in any manner of their choosing.... So, here's the first message I wanted to send to you, to Jon Stegglet, to Todd Michaelson, and to everybody else in the AWA...

[The voice, obviously Dave Bryant's, chuckles.]

DB: By now, you should've already gotten the next two.

[Fade in to a slightly dingy room, most likely at some low-rent motel in a low-rent town. The picture suddenly jerks to the side, pointing at a table with a couple of empty chairs, a variety of screwdrivers and pliers, and most telling, the Longhorn Heritage championship belt. The person manning the camera walks around to one of the empty chairs and has a seat, and to the surprise of nobody, it turns out to be the "Doctor of Love" himself, Dave Bryant. Bryant's wearing pretty ordinary street clothes: a plain white t-shirt, blue jeans, plain sneakers, and a disgusting smirk a mile wide.]

DB: Well, hello there!

[Bryant salutes the camera.]

DB: I'm sure an awful lot of you are wondering just where I am at this moment in time, wellll, let me tell you...

[Bryant pauses, then chuckles.]

DB: ...c'mon, really? You'll know where I am the moment it's necessary, and that'll be in a time and place of MY choosing, not yours.

[Bryant picks up a screwdriver and lightly taps the Longhorn Heritage title's main plate.]

DB: Now, on top of wondering where the hell I am, I'm sure a few of you are wondering why I decided to steal this little old thing...

[Bryant jabs the plate with the screwdriver, putting a nasty little gouge in it.]

DB: I'm not one to give a damn about Longhorn Heritage, but Glenn Hudson walking around carrying a championship title while I was left to beg at the door for whatever scraps the office was willing to hand me, well...let's just say that didn't sit well with me. Seeing a guy that I regarded as a walking joke waltz into a title match and win while I was getting hosed out of the World Title tournament by some broken down asshole with a grudge?

[Bryant trails off, staring at the Longhorn Heritage title, then his eyes snap back up to the camera.]

DB: I got back to the nice hotel I was staying at, sat down, watched the tape, trying to figure out where it went wrong, where I screwed up, what I could've done differently...

[Bryant laughs.]

DB: Then I realized that nothing about what went wrong for me was my fault! Whoever has their hand on the brackets -- Stegglet, Michaelson, whoever -- they rigged it! They set me up with Tucker, and knowing that there was no way in hell that clown would be able to put me down himself, they let his old buddy from Strictly Business into the building. Wouldn't surprise me if someone from the office quietly let everyone else in the Second Chance Rumble know that their checks that weekend would be just the slightest bit bigger if they managed to knock me out of that...

[Bryant slowly drags the screwdriver across the big plate, grinning.]

DB: But hey, Todd, guess what? All the crap you've pulled, all the obstacles you've strewn in my path? I'm still here, I'm still a major part of your organization, even though I'm not even working for you. Now, I'm sitting here in this...

[Bryant looks around, clearly nonplussed by his surroundings.]

DB: ...lovely pay-by-cash motel, engaging in my new favorite hobby...

[Bryant taps the empty spot where the nameplate of the Longhorn Heritage title used to reside.]

DB: Redecorating my newly obtained championship belt. I left that little piece with the fat man...not that he had any idea what it was when he got it. All he got was an unmarked envelope and a note detailing just what it is I wanted...in case he got cold feet and didn't read it, allow me to sum it up for you.

[Bryant clears his throat noisily.]

DB: I want an iron-clad, long-term contract, and I want to be one of the AWA's best-paid employees.

[Bryant grins.]

DB: In case you wonder what iron-clad means, it basically means that I get carte blanche to do and to say whatever I want...oh, and that nobody gets to try to punish me for...borrowing...the Longhorn Heritage title belt here.

[Bryant eyes the championship with obvious disdain.]

DB: That last bit's the most important, really. I stole this piece of garbage to get people's attention, not because I wanted it. I stole it to make sure Glenn Hudson couldn't just pretend nothing had happened after I knocked him senseless. So...

[Bryant picks up a pair of needle-nosed pliers and, after a bit of effort, is holding one of the Longhorn Heritage title's secondary plates with the pliers.]

DB: You paying attention how, Hudson? You better get into Taylor's ear, Michaelson's, Stegglet's, whoever you can get ahold of in that joke of an office. You better talk fast and talk slick, Hudson, or, well...

[Bryant holds up the piece of the belt stuck in the pliers.]

DB: This belt's gonna be a hell of a lot lighter by the time you see it again.

[Bryant drops the pliers to the table and laughs. He's still laughing as he walks towards the camera, reaching out and shutting it off.]

I'm fine with it, I'm not in insufferable asshole denial! :D

Also, Joe, if Royalty had been using an HD camera, maybe their demands (did they actually ever make any demands?) would've been met!

Hee hee

All Mr. Langseth wanted was a bowl of green Coconut M&M's and a diet Shamrock Shake before every match.

Shamrock shakes are a seasonal drink! That's going too far!

Coconut M&Ms? I bet those are actually hard to find in most of the towns the AWA runs!

Eh? Can't they just make a new belt? I'm sure they could even get Percy Childes to chip in fifty bucks, just so he can say he paid for a piece of the Longhorn Heritage title.

The AWA isn't run by amateurs, so surely they have insurance on the belt...perhaps even a spare lying around.

No doubt they've also filed a police report. As Bryant all but admits to theft, vandalism, and bribery over an item he has no claim to whatsoever, it seems like an open and shut case. And even in the unlikely event that an AWA owner buckled in to the demands, any lawyer worth his salt would point out that a contract signed under duress is not enforceable.

Dave Bryant certainly isn't the brightest bulb on the tree...

He'd buy the whole thing, just to etch "NOSTALGIA IS AN OFFENSE TO THE PRESENT DAY" in really small letters hidden in the decor.
