“Do you know what its like to be your own worst enemy?”
Scene comes in what it seems to be a dark alley, there is trash everywhere, the rain is pouring down. You hear cats and dogs meowing and barking in this particular alley. There are two building separated from the alley and at the end of the alley you see a light fixture on a man. The camera pans closer and you see a man sitting on a cardboard box. his knees is up to his chest and and he has his hands together and they are resting on the legs. The Man is wearing black loose fitting cargo pants, black boots, black tight t shirt, a black tactical vest and black gloves. The Man then raises his head and he looks at the camera. It was none other than Chris Matthews.

“Do you know what its like when you’re scared to see yourself? Do you know what its like when you wish you were someone else who didn’t need your help to get by? Do you know what its like to wanna surrender? All these question runs through my head. Last primetime, I got my hands on JC Cruz and I beat him. Maybe he knows that when you step in the ring with a man like me that he should do his homework before making another stupid decision. For awhile I started to doubt myself as something is pulling me into the afterlife, but I just wake up from a bad dream.”
He then looks at the camera is what seems to be a look of man who doubt himself.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
“Do you know what its like when you’re not who you wanna be? I do. Mike this world has an infection and the virus is you. Through all these troubling times, Mike, it makes all the sense in the world that you would place yourself right in the middle. After all, what would the world be without its Next Level? What would the world be without its knight in shining armor here to save the day? People like you, Mike? They're hollow. You're full of empty promises. You promise to save these people, you promise to keep them safe, you tell them that everything will be all right just as long as you're around. Liar. You're a liar. You are a liar, Mike Bradley. This is a terrible world. A cold, cold, dark, and lonely place. You stand for these illusions but I stand for everything that is real. Now you say the future has got to come through you first. I couldn't agree more, Mike. I am the reaper that bring death to this era of lies."
Chris gets up and he continues to look at the camera, as the run continues to pour down, Chris jet black and blonde hair covers his eyes.

“Everything you think you know about your own lives, is all based upon lies. Men, you wake up every morning, you go to work, you break your backs just trying to earn a little bit of cash so that you can buy yourself those fancy suits, so that you can buy yourself those sports car and impress the women. And now women, you wake up every morning, you look at yourself in the mirror, and you coat make up all over your beautiful faces because you didn't even realize that you are just wearing the mask that society demands you to wear. It's a bottomless pit of lies. They plaster your hopes and dreams up on a billboard. And who is the man that is on that billboard? Well he's the man that hides behind the plastic smile. He's the man that plays the role of hero better than anyone else. He's the man that tells you everything you think you need to hear and I think to myself, oh, what a wonderful world."
Chris then snickers at the thought of Mike Bradley.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
“Yet this is the same society that intends to vilify a man like me. Why? Because I say everything they're afraid to do. Because I do everything that they're afraid to do. And I promise you today, I promise you tomorrow, I promise you up until my final breath that with the sword of my tongue I will slay this mighty dragon. And I will stand over his body and I will whisper into his ear, 'Mike Bradley, it's time to end this lie'."
Mike Bradley is trapped inside his own little word and he goes to his safe place that he knows as his wonderland. But yet what he fails to realize that Alice went crazy in that world.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
"It's happening. We're not in Wonderland anymore, Alice. Mike Bradley feels the need to fill this void inside of him. The burden of his legacy weighs down heavy on his shoulders. After all, kids, what would Mike Bradley be without his legacy? I have a legacy of my own. My father was the war. My brother was the snail that entrapped me and forced me to watch. My mother was the streets that taught me to survive. The world is my teacher. And I am what you made me. I don't want to save Mike Bradley; there's nothing left for me to fix. I just want to stand back as it all burns down."
“I have always been fascinated with pride. It is my favorite sin. It has the power to blind even the strongest men, even those who claim to be immortal. Hey kids, take your vitamins and say your prayers. All praise be to the virtue of The Next Level, as if they could do you any good. You are both liars, and your foolish pride allows you to pray upon the weak and fill them up with all this hope. But hope is dead. As will be your legacy, Mike. I can see it in your eyes. You don't get it. How could you possibly get something that you can't comprehend? But I'll lay it out for you, Mike, right here and right now. If you look up at me, you will see a friend. If you look down at me, you will see an enemy. But if you look at me square in the eye, you will see a god. Just what I thought, Mike. A little bit more empty promises, a little bit more hope. Well I say it's always fun and games with you, Mike, until it's you caught in the spiders web."
Just then you hear the thunder clap and striking in the distance.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
"I never sleep but I'm always dreaming. Lately, I've been dreaming of you, Mike. You and I will be sharing this war in New York, but off in the distance there is a woman's voice. It's very faint, I can't make out what it says, but as we fight, and as we come closer to her, I can hear her. She's telling me that she loves me. She's telling me how proud she is of me. Just like that, I wake up, and I still see you, Mike. But now I see you for what you've become. You're in a chair, sitting there a withered old man, lonely and filled with regrets. We have entered the bowels of Carcosa, friend. But don't you worry about a thing. I'll make it quick."
He uses his hands and swipes it back as his eyes are now staring at the camera in full frontal view.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
“Children believe in superheros, Mike. They wear masks and costumes because they want to believe that the world is good. They haven't lived long enough to understand that everything is a lie. My childhood, Mike, let me fill you in about something about Chris Matthews. My childhood, it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. You dare talk about your scars, Mike. Well I've got a few scars too. The world gave them to me. They gave them to me because it was my birth right to have them. They taught me that fire is hot and that blades are sharp. They taught me that everything that I love in life, sooner or later, is going to wither away and die. Well look at me now. I could be just like you. I could sign autographs and kiss babies and make sure that everyone buys all my merchandise. I could go home to my plastic girlfriend in my castle. I could take everything I fear and hide behind laughter. Tell jokes, make sure I feel better about myself. Yeah, Mike, that's you. But you were right about one thing. I am different than anyone you will ever face. Because at Primetime, I don't care if I never leave. I don't care if I die. As long as the world sees you the way that I do."
"I am everywhere. I am everything. It makes all the sense in the world why you would be afraid of me, Mike. Fear me, for I was born of this world's hatred and I feed off its sins. I am the color red in a world full of black and white. I am your mother's tears from the love you couldn't repay her. The hatred are circling overhead. I am the sad truth that waits for you down below. I got your fear, Mike, right here in the palm of my hand, and your fear is my power, and my power is my control. I will rule your entire world."
Chris then puts his hands together into a ball as he gets a sick grin on his face.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
“He's got the whole world in his hands. You know, people don't usually believe in things that they cannot see, in things they cannot touch. It is human nature, after all. But in the case of Mike Bradley we all see him. I mean, how can you possibly miss this billboard and infomercials being shoved down your throat every day? We see you. But what I was wondering was have you ever taken the time, Mike, to see me for what I really am. I am the way into the City of Woe. I am the way into eternal pain. I am the way to go among the laws beyond time, I stand. I wanted to ask you, Mike. What could you possibly do to harm somebody that just can't feel?"
Just then thunder hits against and we then see Chris disappear as the scene fades to black.
