Mike comes out to the IZOD Center crowd to a rousing ovation. But he's not his usual upbeat, snarky self. He's in serious mode, almost like Joaquin Phoenix in No Country For Old Men.
"It's make or break time."
"Do I roll over - literally and figuratively - to Andre Holmes, a man who has tried to end my career, threatened to rape my wife, and just generally make my life a living hell since New Year's?"
The crowd boos the mere thought of the "Man of Destiny."
"Or do I stand up to him, wipe the floors of the IZOD Center with his carcass, choke him out, and send him off to the ER for a very long time?"
The crowd cheers again, hoping to see that very sight tonight.
"I am in no mood to crack jokes right now. Knowing Andre, I'm damn lucky he hasn't made good on his threat. I love my wife and son more than any championship I could have a shot at if I win this match. But despite the fact that the number 1 contendership to the GZWA Television Title is up for grabs, I'm fighting this match to prove I am twice the man Andre is not - he made this feud personal, and now I'm going to make his life very, very uncomfortable."
"So my wife Jessica is at ringside tonight Devils May Cry..."
He ducks out of the ring and gives her a kiss. The crowd awwws.
"...And she's not afraid to put a dent in Andre's jaw if he gets anywhere near her. As far as we're concerned, we're going to make sure that Andre's threats stay that way!"
Jessica chuckles as the crowd cheers again.
This war ends tonight. And it ends with one man going to the emergency room, while the other will get a shot at the TV Title. And if you're a betting man, you'd better put your money on the Deepest Bag of Tricks in Wrestling.
The crowd roars again, chanting "Meta! Meta!"
Hide the kids, it's not going to be pretty.
And if you don't know... now you know!
He drops the mic and heads back to the locker room, giving Jessica one more kiss on the way up .
