What's so funny Joe?

Man both this mystery guy I'm fighting and Judgement have a huge ego and it's totally undeserved.

You'd think they were the same person

Could be. Judgement seems to have his nose up Taker's ass lately he could have begged him into letting him in the match. Either way if it's him or if it's someone else, the impact is going to be...less than what was desired.

Are you going to film a responding promo back?

It can wait. I really don't see the point in giving my two cents on those two jobbers right now.

So what was up with that phone call with Taker earlier?

Public Relations Nightmare. He beat the shit out of a guy in the gym and put him in the rack. I still got a freaking headache. You know he's 50% of this company I should make HIM do the paperwork.

I heard he threw a weight at the guy?

5 pounds worth. He didn't throw it hard enough to do anything though.

Well forget that. We should be having a good time anyway this is one of the only times we are actually at home.

You know..maybe if I get the promos and training done now, we'll have the rest of the week for some R & R. How does that sound.

It is actually pretty good. Get everything out of the way now so we don't have to worry later. I will go shower while you do all that you have to. I'll be upstairs when you are done.

Mandy leaves as Joe heads towards the gym in his house. He turns on his camera before he sets to train and he decides to film a promo.

You know, I think Taker put it best when he said, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Yes I can't believe I'm quoting him either. But it's true. Always, I'm going into a match and the guy that's fighting me thinks that he is the shit and he can do whatever, and I am just a stepping stone. And what always happens? I prove his sorry ass wrong and he pretends like he was screwed or something. It's the same old situation every time. Now I saw both Judgement's and this "Justin Sane's" promos and I'm not really in a position right now to care. I mean, you got a guy who's too chickenshit to say who he really is, and a guy who thinks he's all powerful but really is just the same as he always was..a nobody. So I think I'll start with the latter first.

Judgement, you have a huge ass ego. And why? Because you think that you have the upper hand against me. I mean let's face it, the only thing you've done since becoming Judgement is beat the shit out of me and Norton. You actually took Norton out for a month and that's something that doesn't sit well with me. Not in the fear way, mind you, but the way that makes me seek revenge. And while I plan on getting a match with you very soon, I think I'll have all kinds of time to get little bits of revenge along the way. But that's a different story. Judgement you say that you can't believe I lied to you? I find it very believeable. You see, you think that I went low by lying because I said I'd be out for 9 months and I'm really not? I was gone for two weeks, yes. It's called mind games you stupid bitch. When you assaulted me, you should have injured me. Because since you didn't, you now will get assaulted in return from me..multiple times. Remember PPV? I would have broken your shoulder and neck with the Cool Crunch. I let go for one simple reason. I'm not finished with you yet.

And then when you were being held back by multiple referees that you could have easily taken out to get to me, I lept over the top rope in a springboard plauncha and took you and them out. You see Judgement, when you attacked me, not only did you ruin whatever friendship you and I might have had, but you got yourself lined up in a shooting range and I'm the fucking bullet that will fire through your skull. That's a little harse isn't it? Well Judgement the point is, you DID try to injure me a few weeks ago, and I haven't forgotten. I will not forget until I finish what you started. And I will finish it. Judgement, I challenge you, to come out on WWW, and you and I will sign a contract setting us up for a match at the September PPV. And in that match, we will fight. And when we fight, I'm going to do to you, what you tried to do to me. No questions asked, I'm just going to kick your ass.

As far as my hometown goes. Not only have you never beat me in my hometown, but as far as I'm concerned, you never beat me. Kanich beat me once or twice, a guy that I used to respect beat me once or twice, but Judgement? This nobody that deserves no respect from anyone? He never beat me. He never will beat me. I'm just too damn good, to allow a pest like you upset this pumped up attitude that I've been having lately. You know, you predicted right about one thing. Watching that promo, did make me smile and chuckle to myself. And what you said afterward, about me not laughing when you are standing over my bleeding body, well that just made me roll on the floor laughing. You see you did stand over my broken, bloodied, body twice now. And you know what? Both attacks were cowardish from behind cheapshots. Now I won't deny that when I got my revenge at ICW Damned, I did the same thing. Because you want to play the mind games. You started it. I'm finishing it and I'll play it the same way you did. You don't have me beat yet Judgement, and don't think you will because like I said, you are a nobody in my eyes.

You say I won't try anything, that I'm too scared to? You know what, we'll see about that Wednesday night. Because I'll tell you right now, once you sign that contract, I'm going to hand that paper over to my lawyer, and then I'm jumping over that table and beating the shit outta your sorry ass. So in that moment you're going to have to make a decision. Are you going to stay and take it like a man? Or are you going to back off like you have twice already. PPV, after I locked you in the Cool Crunch you ran. Last week, I knocked you down and demanded you get up, you ran..and attacked me when JJ Crawford had knocked me down and was already doing the damage. Judgement, you think you're a bad ass, I think you're just a coward.

Now, onto another pest, this mystery guy that Taker assigned to me. Judgement calls it "DF Mind Games". I call it a bogus attempt to zone me out. It's not very good for a mystery guy if I don't know who he is. Why is that? Because I'm not going to let up or be any less relentless. Hell it's some jobber in a mask, what do I care if I cripple him? Now, this guy is calling himself Justin Sane. Well that would be a pleasant treat if Taker did manage to bring Justin Sane to ICW because that guy is hardcore and he'd make us some money and ratings. But I know this is just a cop-out name for whoever this guy really is. This guy says I'm decent. What tape did he grab? I have no clue.

You know, Mr. Mystery, you say that you aren't worried about my past matches, just this week. That is very good. If you were worried about my past matches, I'd be jump starting you to the present real quick. As far as bringing everything I got, I always bring everything I got. That's why I've won so much. Unlike some people, I don't let victory go to my head and then do a half-ass job every week. I earned everything I've ever gotten, and I'm going to earn one more on WWW by beating whoever the hell you are, and unmasking you myself. I mean come on, you're talking shit, yet you hide behind a mask. Do you see me hiding behind a mask when I talk shit about people? No, I let them know who is saying it about them. If they want to come get some, they know where to look and who to go after, and then they end up getting more than they wanted.

Now what really made me laugh about you, is you said that all those matches were good "in my prime". What the shit is that? Does the age 29 mean anything to you? I've only been in the business for a good 3-4 years. I'm still in my prime. I'm only semi-retired because I choose to be. I have nothing to prove anymore. And if I do, to who do I prove it? The employees of ICW? I do every time they want me to. Why? Because most of them are new. There was once another new guy to ICW, who thought he could take the Prez out. His name was Creeper. We fought in a hell in a cell matchup and guess what. I beat his ass. He just fought me back and forth and I took him out and he's been wanting me to join his stable every since.

I don't think I'm going to beat you. I KNOW I'm going to beat you. It's as plain as day. A simple fact like the sky is blue or the grass is green. And it's not because I'm the Prez. It's not because I'm the bookerman, it's not because I'm your boss. It's because I'm Joe Cool, and I can.

Joe turns off the camera and goes to his weights where he starts benching a huge amount as the scene fades...
