“The Next Level” Mike Bradley is sitting at home watching the replay of his wife Jesse and brother in law Kris’s exchange with Carnage and Morrigan, followed by their decisive victory over Carnage’s team. He lets out an amused sigh, then turns off the TV.
“Carnage keeps running his mouth about how he didn’t need our help defeating The Machine. He says we’re just standing in his way as he tries to reclaim the GZWA Championship.”
He pauses, then snickers, then breaks into uncontrollable laughter. Then he abruptly stops, and his facial expression turns serious as he faces the camera.
“Obviously the concept of irony is lost on you, Carnage, because you’ve conveniently forgotten that if it weren't for substantial help throughout your career, you wouldn't even come close to where you are today! Look at what happened on the last Primetime! And going further back than that, You kept getting propped up by management, getting inserted into two of my TV Title matches! You wouldn't even have won the GZWA Championship without The Machine’s help! And every time you've been a victim of a highlight reel worthy spot, you went into it thinking you could do it by yourself! And trust me, Morrigan ain’t gonna come to your rescue when you step into that ring with me on Primetime!”
Mike gets up, prepares to head off for the airport, but stops to admire some family photos hanging on the wall. He smiles, then turns back to the camera.
“As for me? And the rest of my family? Yeah, we help each other out, but we do so knowing that we’re all capable of great things individually. We back each other up and pick each other up, but we don't talk each other up and sure as hell don't PROP each other up! We don't need Morrigan to talk a good game for us because our own promo abilities are shit, and we don't need the bookers to hand us opportunities because they're obsessed with guys with your body type!”
“I've pinned you once, and I'll gladly do it again… and again… and again and again AND AGAIN AND AGAIN to prove to you that I am the true unstoppable force in the annals of GZWA lore! And then you'll be watching from the locker room when I claim what's rightfully MINE, not yours, at Dead or Alive, and that's the GZWA Championship!”
And if you don't know… now you know!
Then the screen goes black.
