Crane: John Madison, i heard what you had to say about our match and i have to wonder- are you deficient? You and I both are getting an opportunity to stomp out one of this company's top guys and here you go talking smack about me too? I'M YOUR PARTNER. You're saying Sid Feder was calling me out because i was "weak prey"? Well, hell son, they must not have thought much of you either to make this a handicap match and not a triple threat.

Look, i get it, you're one of those guys that would rather go around beating his chest than actually do the smart thing. Which in any other context, i could care less. BUT, a handicap ladder match. This SHOULD be a no brainer. We can completely destroy one of XWF's best and then move up ourselves. Did that not cross your mind? So here's what i propose, you and i dispose of Sid Feder once and for all and then when it's just the two of us left standing, we can find out who's the prey and who's the predator. One way or another, John, you will learn from The Monolith tonight.
