WE CAN SEE, WE CAN HEAR
BUT OUR EYES AND EARS REMAIN SHUT
I always wanted to say that shit, deep voice and all, like some mysterious man of power. Full disclosure I always thought those words would come in some sort of Wizard of Oz way, big smoke cloud, a floating ominous scary head and my deep voice resonating out of it. But I guess we can settle for it here and in this moment in the far more disappointing way that it happened.
Speaking of disappointing, let’s talk about Enforcer and the end of his title reign as Prestige champion. Nice segway huh, yeah that’s how I roll, just set em up and knock em down, and that is exactly what I have done for Enforcer. While he has spent an undoubtedly long period of time as Prestige champion, I was working hard behind the scenes making it happen. A little nudge here, a wink there, maybe some green paper slipped under a table there. Look the point is, everything in his career has been building to a moment…
No shame in it though, he isn’t the first person to live a lie and not see, everyone is living some sort of lie and just doesn’t know it. Enforcer is just going to get to experience the pain of having it revealed in front of the whole world. One might expect he would be ready, but let’s be honest he is too focused on making jokes, probably walking through some dark alley, playing dress up and hoping that everyone is distracted, maybe even praying he can get me off my game.
Yes if that is what it takes I will make it happen. We are not going to get into that ring and have a gentlemanly competition. For Thirty minutes I am going to beat your ass all over the ring, and if I have to I will be your Ivan Drago and you my Apollo Creed. While you think this is just another match, this for me is what I have wanted from the moment I walked back into the OPW. My eyes have been on you since before the ink dried.
THIS BRUTAL WORLD WILL BEAT YOU DOWN
CRUSH YOUR HOPES WITHOUT A SOUND
Now it wouldn’t be worth it to just beat you, know I had to build you up, had to give you a career in this industry to make destroying your career and you worth it. That is how it works, there is no fun in beating some pathetic hack all over the arena like I am going to do. Who remembers the second man to beat the champion after the champ loses the title? That’s the point Enforcer, I am going to use you like a fucking sling shot, beating you will shoot me…
That is what happens when you possess true greatness and not the false greatness that you have been given. While you have held that title for an exceptionally long time, you have literally done nothing with it, because you are like a fucking dog that chatches the car. Spent all your time trying to get there, and when you have it you don’t know what comes next. Well make sure you watch what happens after I take that title from you, maybe you can learn from it and next time....
I’d put the odds out, but we all know the safe bet is on you just falling into a hole and disappearing like that one band that had that one song that one time that was famous. That will be your legacy when I am done, you will be that one guy that had that one title for that long period of time. No one will say your name, and they will cry when the trivia question comes up because they will all get it wrong.
WE’RE THE HOMELESS AND REJECTED, ADDICTED AND INFECTED
ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED, WE’RE THE LIVING PROOF
We fade into see a tall blonde standing on the side of the road, behind her police ramble about, yellow caution tape flaps in the wind, tied to a tree and then to the fire hydrant. The woman raises the microphone to her lips.
Susan Ortega: Hello my name is Susan Ortega and I am reporting on scene from the latest in what people across the world are calling the beginning of the end. Many in the religious community are calling the deaths that we have seen more than just accidents. They are saying there is a sinister motive behind it all, that we are literally seeing the end times playing out before us. But I know from my own beliefs that there should be more, that this should be something bigger. Here with me I have Father Agustus of the church of the righteous, his thoughts may just open your mind to what is happening.
Agustus D’Agosta: Thank you Susan. Yes this is a sign of the end times for sure. While we all know about the hellfire and brimstone prophecies of the mainstream religious texts, those were written by men with power who wanted to stay in power. The true documents were believed to be too mild, too relaxed, and not scary enough to be shown to the world. So those men with the power decided to change the texts, to write their own and lead through fear. Let me read you a quote from ‘Aroneous 5.23’ “And the messenger of the prince shall give each and every sinner and offer, a chance to absolve their sin, or spend an eternity in hell for their actions.” That is exactly what we are seeing here Susan, these deaths that are springing up all over are sinners, men with tragically terrible histories being offered a chance at repentance or suicide, and they are choosing the latter.
Susan Ortega: I have never heard of the book of Aroneous, what would you say to anyone else that might claim this is a false book?
Agustus D’Agosta: By now everyone has heard of the dead sea scrolls. They were not lost, they were hidden by the men in power years ago, tucked away in a place that no one thought they could ever be found. But they underestimated the will of man, and man found them. Aroneous is one of the many scrolls that has been translated by men not in power for any of the main religious outlets around the world. What I would tell anyone having a hard time believing is just wait, just watch, and if the Prince comes to see you, be mindful of the choice he is giving you, because it matters when the final battle comes, souls are the currency of the Gods.
Susan Ortega: Well there you have it from Father Agustus, souls are the currencies of the Gods, and apparently we are just pawns in the greater war that is brewing. For CNN world news, I am Susan Ortega!!!!
Susan lowered the microphone and stared for a minute at Agustus who simply stood there watching her with a stoic look on his face. Finally she mustered the strength to even ask him a question.
Susan Ortega: How do you know this?
Agustus: Because I know the prince. Would you like to meet him?
Susan Ortega: For an interview?
Susan lit up with excitement at the idea. This would be the interview of a lifetime, or a flame out, either way she would have a front seat to the end of the world, or be able to tell interpol who the killer was for the string of grissly deaths that the world was no longer thinking may just be accidents.
Agustus: That depends on if he likes you, but we can always ask.
Susan Ortega: What’s not to like? I have access that someone like him would dream of.
Agustus: If only you knew just how wrong you were. He does not need anything that someone on this plane of existence can provide, everything he needs he already has access too. How do you think he has managed to stay undetected to this point? There are things taking place that not even the strongest of this world can understand. If he deems you worthy he will give you what you dream of, if not, well then let’s just say it may be the last interview that you go to.
Susan Ortega: Is that a threat?
Agustus: Not at all, a promise, not unlike the ones that he makes to everyone he encounters. Know when you meet him that he will already know your intention, already know what you desire of him, and what you desire of the world. That is his gift, his burden, his curse.
Susan Ortega: When do we get to meet him?
Agustus: No we, just you. There will be no cameras, and no crew coming with you and I, it will be you and him in a room, and we leave now, his time is precious, and he has places to be.
Susan motioned for Agustus to lead the way. With a nod he agreed to her request by nod and the two of them began to walk away. The CNN cameraman stood dumbfounded at what he had just watched, a trickle of sweat dripping from his head as he knew what needed to be done, he needed to follow.
He took a step forward as a man slid out from behind his production van and cut him off. The man smiled wide, his black suit immaculate, and his eyes ever inviting, then he spoke and the cameraman began to melt at the man's smooth voice.
Elias: I have an offer to provide you, how would you like to have everything in the world that you could ever dream of?
Ryan tilted his head to the van, the cameraman overcome with excitement jumped into the back and Necra fired it up and drove off. Ryan smiled wide as he strode along the path that Susan and Agustus had just taken.
BUT OUR EYES AND EARS REMAIN SHUT
TO THE TRUTH FROM THE FEAR
CAUSE THE TRUTH IS WAY TOO MUCH TO FACE NOW
JUDGEMENT DAY HAS COME!!!!
I always wanted to say that shit, deep voice and all, like some mysterious man of power. Full disclosure I always thought those words would come in some sort of Wizard of Oz way, big smoke cloud, a floating ominous scary head and my deep voice resonating out of it. But I guess we can settle for it here and in this moment in the far more disappointing way that it happened.

A little nudge here, a wink there, maybe some green paper slipped under a table there. Look the point is, everything in his career has been building to a moment…
GETTING HIS ASS BEAT BY ME!!!!
Living a lie can be fun, hell you ride a wave of excitement that is amazing, but what happens to all waves? They crash into the shore and end, their excitement terminating and all those riding them are left to try and find another one. Well I am the shore, in this metaphor, and the wave Enforcer is riding is going to crash hard, the rider finding himself confronted with the sad truth that will be his fate. ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END!!!!!
No shame in it though, he isn’t the first person to live a lie and not see, everyone is living some sort of lie and just doesn’t know it. Enforcer is just going to get to experience the pain of having it revealed in front of the whole world. One might expect he would be ready, but let’s be honest he is too focused on making jokes, probably walking through some dark alley, playing dress up and hoping that everyone is distracted, maybe even praying he can get me off my game.
GAMES OVER!!!!
The biggest mistake one can make is giving me a reason to punish them, and that is my sole goal this week, to punish the Enforcer. It’s not enough to just beat him, no I want to take what he holds dear from him, that Prestige title. Make no mistake I know how dear it is to him, he holds it close, being able to brag about how long he has held onto that title without anyone being able to take it from him. A man once made a deal with me and I told him I would do what I am about to do to the Enforcer.PRY WHAT IS MINE FROM HIS COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!
Yes if that is what it takes I will make it happen. We are not going to get into that ring and have a gentlemanly competition. For Thirty minutes I am going to beat your ass all over the ring, and if I have to I will be your Ivan Drago and you my Apollo Creed. While you think this is just another match, this for me is what I have wanted from the moment I walked back into the OPW. My eyes have been on you since before the ink dried.
YOU HAVE BEEN MEASURED AND WEIGHED BOY!!!!!
THIS BRUTAL WORLD WILL BEAT YOU DOWN
CRUSH YOUR HOPES WITHOUT A SOUND
ALL THIS TIME YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE FREE
IT WAS ONLY A FANTASY THAT WILL NEVER BE
Now it wouldn’t be worth it to just beat you, know I had to build you up, had to give you a career in this industry to make destroying your career and you worth it. That is how it works, there is no fun in beating some pathetic hack all over the arena like I am going to do. Who remembers the second man to beat the champion after the champ loses the title? That’s the point Enforcer, I am going to use you like a fucking sling shot, beating you will shoot me…
TO PLACES THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM OF GOING IN THIS INDUSTRY!!!!!
That is what happens when you possess true greatness and not the false greatness that you have been given. While you have held that title for an exceptionally long time, you have literally done nothing with it, because you are like a fucking dog that chatches the car. Spent all your time trying to get there, and when you have it you don’t know what comes next. Well make sure you watch what happens after I take that title from you, maybe you can learn from it and next time....
YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING GREAT IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!
I’d put the odds out, but we all know the safe bet is on you just falling into a hole and disappearing like that one band that had that one song that one time that was famous. That will be your legacy when I am done, you will be that one guy that had that one title for that long period of time. No one will say your name, and they will cry when the trivia question comes up because they will all get it wrong.
#FORGOTTEN!!!!
WE’RE THE HOMELESS AND REJECTED, ADDICTED AND INFECTED
ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED, WE’RE THE LIVING PROOF
WE’RE THE SLAVES OF THOSE ELECTED, THE LOST AND DISCONNECTED
THE FORGOTTEN AND DISRESPECTED, WE’RE THE LIVING PROOF OF THE LIES
