Icehouse, your position in front of a blank billboard does you justice.  You definitely are the poster child for abstinence, and standing up there for all to see may very well be a good deterrent for teenage girls to avoid sex till their married.  Ever thought of grooming? Maybe just a bath? 

 

You were wrong, from the start, but in this case I hope you were not inferring that Kirlia and I asked for you three to have a match. I believe the BWF committee is in charge of such things?  I know the champions represent the BWF and it’s image, but it doesn’t mean we can just make our own matches! 

 

Chamelion winks.

 

Hmm, now this is really interesting, but I caught your promo for Havok on a rerun and noticed it was longer.  It had to be my imagination but as I watched it, I realized it had new scenery and you were replying to, well, the fact that things hadn’t changed yet in terms of hearing from your opponents.  Now, maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t it customary to produce a second promo for all to see, instead of presenting a ‘director’s cut’ of your first one?  Kind of underhanded, I think, unless I’m missing a new BWF ruling.  Still, since I was able to catch it, I of course had to stop and listen carefully.  Thank goodness for DVRs!

 

I’ve heard some strange metaphors, hell, I’ve made some strange ones, but serious as a heart attack on two old people???  What the hell are you smoking, kiddo?  When you were talking, were you seriously thinking you made any sense?  Personally, it’s good that your opponents didn’t speak for as long as they did, cause watching you sweat was kind of fun.

 

Still, it’s good to finally see a little competition stirring up for our big match at Happenstance.  Torby has presented us with a book of theories, which I expect there to be plenty more of those coming, and now you jump ahead and sprout off your comments for all to see.  Of course, my earlier rants covered all the possibilities so I actually was prepared for the people in this match before they even earned their way in, and that is my firm answer to your question of  ‘What I plan to do to keep my flawless record.’  Unlike you, who focused on Kirlia and didn’t prepare for the possibility that Cody Clark would be taking her place as the new BWF Champion.  Now you’re a step behind, just when you thought you’d managed to push forward.  Much like the rest of your career, kiddo, you’re always lagging just behind the line.

 

Maybe you’ve been too drunk to notice, Icehouse, but uh, this will be my THIRD defense of the World Championship since I won it from Toxic last month, so I’ve had a little practice with fighting in the ring since then with the risk of losing the title.  Hell, XTC almost skimmed by me and if not for the keen eye of the second referee, I could have been screwed out of the Elimination Chamber.  I can’t complain, since I did ask for the match and risked it all; but I managed to pull through and it will be no different Sunday.

 

By the way, it’s only five.  Only five are gunning for me, and only five do I need to eliminate.  I really don’t plan to beat myself up and try to take myself out, so I’m at a little better odds then you make me out to be.  It would be awesome, as well, if everyone indeed tried to gain up on me, because then I could really showcase my talent and surprise the lot of you.  Or, I could be demolished and taken out in a heart beat, and still have the proud knowledge that in my entire BWF career, it took five on one to end my streak.  Really, you think I have everything to lose while you have nothing, think again.  This match will make us all look good, even the pathetic Torborg, but it’s how we present ourselves that will decide just how good we look.

 

I don’t suppose, Icehouse, that you’d be willing to slow down and think a little more before you run your mouth?  You ranted so fast you didn’t even complete some of your own thoughts and left me to wonder what you were getting at.  I mean, I don’t know, did you get pissed off when I called you a mid carder?  You never really explained to me, just turned around and said you’re that damned good and that’s why you’re in the top ranks.  Honestly, I think you’re here because of your name and previous history, and certainly not because you’ve done a bang up job.  Fact is, the Icehouse I see pales in comparison to the one I remember.  So, I guess I should feel a little disappointed that we’re facing now, when I so wanted to fight you back then.

 

And I do think what I have to say makes a hell of a difference to you.  You responded, didn’t ya? You tried to debunk, deny and turn my words around on me because it seemed important enough to warrant your attention.  Back then you ignored me, and now it’s time to pay the late fees…. The tables have turned, Icehouse, and now, while I sit here the World Champion, you’re relegated to that fat smelly kid at recess, who gets picked last for dodge ball, and then everyone aims at him to get him out of the game.  You’re return and quick rise to the top of the BWF will be short lived, cause in just a few short days, the name of Ice Hensley will be added to the long list of losers, who fell at the hands of the Most Devious SOB in the business today.. GOT IT?
