It's early afternoon in the Denver, Colorado. It's a slight overcast as Grime is sitting just outside the Hardkore Master's Gym. He's leaning against the wall and smoking a Marlboro Black cigarette. He inhales and sees the camera to his left. After a moment of taking in the smoke he exhales through his nose. He's practically finished smoking his cigarette and just flicks it off into the parking lot. He gives a smirk to the camera and begins to speak.
Grime: A fatal four way. Three guys that I get to pulverize, pummel, you name it it's going to happen. I've come to the XWF with one purpose in mind. I've come to look for someone worth fighting. This day and age you don't find that very often. And as I got to witness the show repeat a few moments ago on the big flat screen in my buddy's office here, two things came to mind...
Grime crosses his arms.
Grime: First, I saw ten men begin a three phase match. And the two that come out on top have made me start thinking that I've come to the right place. And, wouldn't ya know? Here I am in this fatal four way match as the XWF gives a chance to a guy they probably never heard of. The fact that XWF hasn't heard of me doesn't bother me one bit. Come next Monday, the entire world will have heard of Grime. I will make sure of that.
Grime motions for the camera man to follow him as he opens the gym doors and walks in. The camera man follows.
Grime: This is where it all started. This is where I have found my peace of mind. This is where I was trained, but it's not where I was prepared to do what I plan on doing to Griff, Ray Tings, and Scully.
Grime looks back at the camera and stops. He smiles and starts nodding.
Grime: See, Scully. That's the guy I decided to get on my cell phone as I looked at the new contact list the XWF Management gave me. This man is a Tag Team Champion. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm coming into the XWF and demanding title shot after title shot. No, that's not my style. I decided to be respectful toward a champion. I dialed that number. I made the call and I introduced myself. Now, looking over the past attitude of this guy...I expected something a bit confrontational. I expected Scully to tell me to work my way up. I had figured he'd tell me to...well you get the idea. But, what I got was an answer right away when I told him I wanted to start my career off in the XWF in the ring against him. The answer. Let's do this shit!
Grime claps a few times in approval.
Grime: That's what I'm talking about. You see it isn't often that you come to a company right off the bat and say, 'Hey! I want you in the ring', without getting the run around or get laughed at. Had he laughed, the next time I'd seen him, it wouldn't have turned out so well for him. I don't take kindly to disrespect. Outside the ring, inside the ring, parking lot, grocery store. Respect is a virtue that I take seriously. If you can't show it, fine. I'll beat it out of you until everywhere you go no disrespect toward me flies out of your mouth. But...this was not Scully. That...is a champion by nature.
Grime continues on walking toward the sound of a wrestling ring where some men and women are having an exhibition match as some new recruits are being initiated. Grime continues talking with the camera man following him from behind.
Grime: Scully, you've done well here. I've heard the rumors. Unfortunately you have yet to hear rumors of me. I'm going to let you experience what those rumors are rather than talk about them and bore the world to death. Growing up, I was always told that you exploit another man's weaknesses. And I went through most of my childhood and teen years doing so. It caused me more problems than were solved. However, I met a man named Pops that knew what I had in me. He took me under his wing. Showed me the ropes of life when it comes to a real fight. He was a smart man. Unfortunately things happen that you just can't control. So here I am now, two decades after I was first taught to exploit weaknesses.
Grime stops as he reaches the main training area with the ring. He takes a brief moment to watch as the new recruits get man handled and out matched in every way in the ring to the excitement of those watching. Grime turns his head to the side, not looking all the way back at the camera as he begins to talk again.
Grime: The fact is you're going to have your weaknesses exploited on Monday Madness, Scully. But, you already know that. You have that tendency to be distracted easily. You expect that I'll take advantage of how you mess around when it comes to some as simple as a crowd's reaction. Unfortunately for you, I don't have that problem. I'm not here for the fans. I'm not here to go after every single title my eyes come across. Sure if the opportunity rises, I will take advantage of that privilege. But, this coming Monday, on May 4th, I'm coming to beat three men down, and you just so happen to be one of them.
Grime turns and looks at the camera.
Grime: What happens when you take a man's weakness and crush it, Scully? Let me tell you what happens. Absolutely nothing! Why? Because he still has his strengths. Time and time again a man's strengths will win the fight. It doesn't matter how many times you take advantage of their weaknesses. It doesn't matter how often you follow up with counter after counter, the strengths are still there. No, Scully. This Monday...when you and I step foot in the ring you will find that your strengths are made your weakness. And what is the result? You crumbling like an old brick wall.
Grime gives a smirk.
Grime: When you answered your phone, you never knew what to expect. You didn't see it coming. You had no idea what accepting my request was going to bring your way. And Monday you're going to look like you just had a bad wreck. When you accepted my challenge on the phone, Scully, you became an ant that handed a magnifying glass to a kid. It's time to show the XWF what I'm about and what I am capable of at Monday Madness...
Grime takes in a deep breath and lets it out.
Grime: And I start with you.
In the ring the exhibition finishes. Those that had been watching from up close start congratulating the new recruits. Grime doesn't walk in to do the same. He's no longer training in this gym, though he is welcome at any time to step in the ring. Grime leans up against the wall and looks on until finally everyone starts getting back to their routine. He turns his head once again to the camera.
Grime: Oh, but I can't forget Griff and Ray Tings. No. When you're in a match with 3 competitors all looking to prove themselves, you have to be sure not to find yourself out of position to break up any pin fall or submission. These two men are likely as eager as I am to score a victory on Monday. But, it just won't happen for them.
Grime unhooks his left hand from being tucked under his right arm. He reaches up and picks his nose. He wipes the booger on his finger on the edge of the trash can next to him. He scratches his nose.
Grime: Griff. It just seems that you have a problem this Monday and you're looking at him. You might think it's a bit more complex than that. No disrespect your way, but I'm not going to be taking you lightly. Regardless what you may think with my focus being Scully. You yourself are very aware what it means when a champion is pinned. Especially when that champion is in the ring with a few new guys that are trying to show what they can do.
Grime crosses his arms once again as he continues to speak.
Grime: I don't think you have to be told that this match really is that rookies chance. Are you going to go and tell everyone just like I am that you're going to be the one that takes advantage of it? Or is just something that will remain on your bucket list? I have your answer. You're not walking away from this match with your arms raised and a smile on your face. It's not that you don't have what it takes. I believe that remains to be seen. I'm telling you that it's going to be a pleasure pummeling you and Ray Tings Matings.
Grime starts to chuckle.
Grime: Oh, man. Ray Tings, man. I don't mean to poke fun at the name, pal. I just couldn't resist. I'll tell you what. I'm going to let you head to that top rope any time you feel like it and leap off, but don't mind me as I decide just to step to the side and watch you have a funny ass landing in the ring. I mean, that's really all your going to be doing all night if you want to get in my way.
Grime smiles as he looks off behind the camera man. He stops leaning on the wall and walks over to a beautiful young woman. He puts his arms around and she looks at the camera and lowers her eyes.
Grime: Oh, don't mind him. XWF employees here to not only meet a new face, but to see the one guy that is going to make everyone else in the XWF real nervous. And Scully...best tell Maverick to cherish that title of his because I'm not alone. But, Ray Tings...I really do want to address you here for a second...
Grime looks at the woman latched to his left arm and he gives her a kiss on the top of her head before he looks back at the camera.
Grime: I've heard that you like to fight a bit dirty. And, ya know, that's fine by me. My advice to you is to protect your Ray Tings mating beans. Because if I so happen to find you sitting in the corner...
Grime gets a big shit eating grin on his face.
Grime: Ray Tings is going to sing and the world is going to enjoy the tune.
The woman latched to his arm giggles because she's witnessed this happen many times from some of the other guys Grime has been in the ring with since he started training.
Grime: Just sliding into home and aiming to knock the ball loose, Ray. Nothing personal. Just plain fun.
Grime and the woman start laughing harder at this point. Grime is having a bit of problem speaking as he's closing up. He finally gets control of it.
Grime: Scully, Ray Tings, and Griff. I can't wait to see you guys come the day before Cinco de Mayo. I'll be the guy with a Corona in my hand and my lady's hand in the other celebrating my first of many victories in the X-treme Wrestling Federation.
The camera man cuts the camera feed as Grime and Brittany begin to kiss.
Grime: A fatal four way. Three guys that I get to pulverize, pummel, you name it it's going to happen. I've come to the XWF with one purpose in mind. I've come to look for someone worth fighting. This day and age you don't find that very often. And as I got to witness the show repeat a few moments ago on the big flat screen in my buddy's office here, two things came to mind...
