Broken Dreams

| Scene | We open up our scene where we see Mr. Man sitting in what could be described a dark room. We see him sitting down with a poster of Chill Factor and Royal Rumble, the same which were shown on the past episode of Unbreakable. We look at Mr. Man, who has a perplexed look on his face.

| Mr. Man | December 23rd, 2007, Chill Factor, one of the greatest nights of not only my career, but my life. It was the night where a year long journey, from pectoral injuries to fighting in the mid-card to having the most successful year of my professional life in 2007. It was a year-long journey which featured ups and downs, but it ended with the greatest achievement in my career. I was able to escape and get away from adversity, get away from all the prejudice, and do something never thought of. That December night, two nights before Christmas, I recieved the ultimate Christmas present, and I was able to come out of virtually nowhere and do what seemed the impossible and defeat Cameron Hayden for the eWe World Heavyweight Championship.

| Scene | Mr. Man would take a glaze towards the Chill Factor poster, staring at it slightly before looking back at the camera.

| Mr. Man | That night, 3 years of battle. Three years of mid-card labeling, curtain jerking and taken advantage of, it all paid off for something that I longed for my whole career. I was able too have the distinct advantage and label as the top of the card, the huge draw, the main man on Xplosion. I was finally able to prove all the critcs wrong, and I walked out, more emotional, more happy, but more importantly I walked out with more gold. And it wasn't any only gold, it was the World title, the title each and everyone of us would sell our family, our girlfriends, our children, anything for, and I was able to use everything in my body, every move I've studied and used for years and years and use them all to capture that World title!

| Scene | Mr. Man looks around, a bit awkwardly, but showing a little focused look on his face.

| Mr. Man | But with an awesome conclusion too my chase to the top, came the downfall of my career. One month after winning, one glorious month, the most glorious month of my career, a dark day decended upon the Xplosion brand, a dark day decended upon the eWe as a hole, as I was beaten for the World Heavyweight Championship. And as much excuses I have made in the past, that does not excuse the fact that at the Royal Rumble of this year, I was beaten for the World Heavyweight Championship, my first World title, too Eighteen. I lost focus for one second, I surcame to the hype of being World Heavyweight Champion, and it got taken advantage of, and because of it I do not have that title right now. Because of all the transpired, I am no longer the golden child of 2007, and while I may be the Gold Standard, my gold has been rusting.

| Scene | Mr. Man has a little glare towards the Royal Rumble poster, a look of dispair and anger on his face because of it.

| Mr. Man | After that loss at the Royal Rumble, I had myself a rematch clause, meaning I had one more shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. I had a shot in which I realized I couldn't blow it, because it's a shot that only comes by every so often. So, I used every trick in the book too get the mind games going, to use them against Eighteen, even disguising myself as a mystery opponent too gain the edge. But at the end of the day, once again, as on focused as I was, Eighteen was more focused, and because of it, she won the match, albeit by interfearence, but she won. And since then, I haven't even been near, or considered a legit challenger for the World title. And most people do not know how much it eats me up inside too know that I blew my chances.

| Scene | Mr. Man looks down on the ground, shame going across his eyes and anger on his face.

| Mr. Man | After losing at Last Stand, losing my rematch clause, in my mind, I felt I hit rock bottom as far as being a top challenger was concerned. And after losing the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 5, in my mind, I believed I could no longer become a World champion ever again. I felt I had lost the tools and skills I had in 2007 and became a shell of the man I once was now in 2008. And after eWe temperarly left, I had huge thoughts in my mind too retired. Huge thoughts in my mind to leave wrestling, knowing I accomplished a goal even for a month, because in my mind, I knew I would never ever regain the World title. My dream, as a professional wrestler, I felt was over, I felt my spark was gone and I was no longer as great as I thought I once was.

| Scene | Mr. Man pauses now for a second, a smirk of not confidence, but fact, shown on his face as he looks at the camera.

| Mr. Man | But when eWe decided to come off of hiatus, I realized something. I realized I needed to pay the bills, I needed a car to drive, I needed food on my table, I needed a roof over my head. So I came back, and in my first match I lost. I lost my first match back too some nobody who would be gone two weeks later. I lost because I was using myself in a sluggish light, I wasn't hitting pillar to post, and I didn't care. I didn't care about having a great match, because I lost the World title 6 months earlier, and all I cared about was getting paid. My passion in this business died the night the World Heavyweight Championship was taken from me. I was no longer motivated enough too care about having a great match, all I was motivated enough for was too catch that check and cash it in a few weeks later.

| Scene | Mr. Man now chuckles a bit, not loud, but loud enough that it can be heard in the microphone above the camera.

| Mr. Man | But then, Stephanie McMahon, the creative genius that she is, the creative powers that she attains caught up to her, and she announced that at SummerSlam a Three Phase Challenge for the Undisputed, the International and the X-Division Championships. Now what went through my mind was a feeling I haven't felt in months: Pure confidence. In my mind I realized this is a shot I've been waiting eight months for. And as this year has been horrible, but what better way too get my revenge on this year as a whole than winning the Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam. What would be the ultimate revenge than winning at SummerSlam. But I know, it won't be easy. It's three matches in one, three title matches in one, a match featuring just about every regular active wrestler in this company. It's a match set on perserverance, a match set on conditioning, and a match set on the will to win, and I know that I have each and every one of those, but I must, I must set my sights to nothing less than the top.

| Scene | Mr. Man smiles what can be appeared to be seen as a perversed look of determination.

| Mr. Man | When I look into this match, I see myself surrounded with threats. Not a bunch of threats, but enough threats to realize I'm not the only one in this match. I mean, this match is for the Undisputed Championship, of course there's gonna be some major threats too my winning. But the question is, do they look at me as even a minor threat to the title? Do these people look at me, a former World Heavyweight Champion, a man who has held every singles title he put his mine too, a man who's gone pillar-to-post, balls-to-the-wall, and has yet to show any sign of weakness, any sign of lazyness, and is still able to walk out as one of the best? Do they look at me as a threat? No, but why should they? Of course. But when I look back, I was never considered a threat. I wasn't considered a threat when I went into an action packed match with Shawn Ashlocke that ultimately became his last match in the promotion because he left with the embarassment of me beating him. Looking back, I wasn't considered a threat when I defeated Cameron Hayden not just once, but twice for titles.

| Scene | Mr. Man then smirks, looking at the camera, pausing the speech and the action for a moment.

| Mr. Man | But like I said, there is threats in this match. My main threat, the main person I have to look for is a man of a different country. A man who's main thresthold is not only giving pain, but recieving it and just shrugging it off like nothing happened. I am facing a man among men, a man who some don't even like calling a man, because he will destory you. He is a Samoan Savage, his headbutts are like getting hit with a frying pan, his punches are like getting hit with a toaster, and his kicks are like getting hit with a microwave. And at SummerSlam, I have to face a man who no one in the eWe has been able to defeat. I face a man who is probably the most unstoppable monster in the eWe, a man who people like Rikku, K~Dawg, Sean Lewis, Predator, no one has been able to beat. The thing is, has Umaga ever faced me? Has he ever faced an emotionally scarred man, such as mysellf, who will be willing to do anything and everything to defeat this savage? Has he ever faced a man willing to put his mother in front of him so he can win the Undisputed Championship? Of course not, that's why at SummerSlam, I will go through Umaga, and I will defeat him.

| Scene | Mr. Man smiles at the camera after saying that, pausing once more, taking some deep breaths, awaiting for himself to speak.

| Mr. Man | But then, looking at threats, one of my biggest threats is, no matter what me or anyone else says, this mane is a legend. Sure, he may be one of the most overrated legends of our time, but the man is still a legend. This man has done everything there is to do in the eWe, whether it be Undisputed Championships, World Championships, Midcard titles, any title, this man has done it all. And me and this man, we are no strangers to eachother, but we certainly are not in the same boat. While this man has always been regarded as one of the top in the eWe, I have always been thought of as the guy at the bottom, as the guy who you beat when you first start off, and for that I hate this man. I hate White Tiger. I hate White Tiger, because I've beaten him twice in singles matches, but he gets the credit for being able to throw me through a table, or being able to climb a ladder faster than me. I hate White Tiger because I worked my ass off for my World title reign in 2007, while all he has to do is pick up his phone, get on his computer, IM someone and boom he's in a title match.

| Scene | Mr. Man looks at the camera a little bitter now, showing a different, yet somehow, strangly familiar look at the camera.

| Mr. Man | But, you wanna know what really pisses me off about White Tiger? What pisses me off the most, is that I worked my ass off for three years, three long years from jobber to winning the World Heavyweight Championship, and the man still does not hold any regard for me. And for that reason, that reason of jealousy, that reason of trying to politick his spot is the reason why I still do not respect White Tiger. I do not respect White Tiger because he hasn't earned it. He talks about how he's a legend, how he's the milestone of eWe, all those cliches, when in real life, in actuality, I am better than White Tiger. Everything I do is better than White Tiger, and I know this and he knows this. The only reason why he won the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania, it wasn't on skill, it wasn't the fact that he was better than me, it was simply because he was able to climb a ladder faster. Yet, he still brings out that briefcase, holds it up, rubs it in everyone's face. White Tiger at SummerSlam I'ma rub a couple of things in your face. First, I'll elimiante you, and throw that in your face, then I'll grab MY Undisputed Championship and rub it in your face! White Tiger, I am going to win the Undisputed Championship, not you, so I hope you get that through your head.

| Scene | Mr. Man smirks now, showing his anger there was temperary, or at least, not as bad as once thought.

| Mr. Man | But then we look into this match and we have someone like Scotty Blaze. Someone who's only claim to fame is not his skill, is not his charisma, it's just the fact that he smokes the ganja. That tells you how messed up our fans are when they cheer a man who is breaking the law, a man who is publically talking about drug use, over a man like me. A talented man just like me who works his ass off for three years until he gets his shot, and I say, screw that. Scotty Blaze needs to realize that last year was his coming out year because the fans are that screwed up, but when he reaches into the real talent of this company just like me, he's going to crumble under the pressure, because that's who I am. I kill dreams, and I may have killed my own dream at the Royal Rumble this year, but Scotty, that'll be nothing compared to me ruining your once and quite frankly only shot at winning the Undisputed Championship. Scotty, you need to get out of the big boys ring, because at SummerSlam, I will eliminate you, and I will walk out Undisputed Champion.

| Scene | Mr. Man then changes his face from a smirk to a more serious look on his face, all in one little motion.

| Mr. Man | Speaking of threats, I probably have one of the biggest threats in this match. One of the biggest threats is a woman, a woman who has held both the World Heavyweight title and the eWe Heavyweight title, and there is no doubt she's looking too add the Undisputed Championship to her already long Heavyweight title history. This woman is no easy task though, cause behind her easy and calm exterior is an angry bitch waiting to be exploited. Her name is Rikku. And this woman is no holdback, and I know that she is itching to win the Undisputed Championship. But here's the thing, me and Rikku, we have never faced eachother, me and her are strangers to eachother. We are the only two wrestlers to have never, ever faced off in this ring, and I have to tell you, it hurts. It hurts to know that I have never faced Rikku in my life, and it hurts to know that we have yet to find out who's better.

| Scene | Mr. Man smirks a bit, still keeping the serious expression through out this segment of the promo.

| Mr. Man | But the thing is, I know I'm better than Rikku. And this, this is my chance to prove to everybody that one of the hottest stars in eWe history can be eliminated, can be defeated, by me, by a man who is possesed and obsessed with his loss at the Royal Rumble. She's facing someone who she's never faced in her career, and she needs to be shaking in her boots. I know behind that humurous mind, and that happy-go-lucky attitude is an ugly little girl, a little girl who is scared and shaking in her boots, a little girl who is not ready to head into the ring with someone like me. She's scared because she's never faced someone who is willing to do whatever he wants to do to win, a man who's willing to kill her in the middle of the ring just so he can hold the Undisputed Championship over his head. My question is, Rikku, are you sure you want to head to the ring? Are you sure you wanna go to that ring and face me, Rikku, because you can always back out. You can always walk out and not get to face your worst nightmare ever Rikku. Let's just hope you know what you're doing.

| Scene | Mr. Man then puts on a complete look of anger, madness and desperation, looking towards the camera with a scowl of scowls.

| Mr. Man | And now, perhaps the biggest threat I have in this match, a threat who wasnt added to this match until the last minute. Someone who was added at the last minute to play mind-games, to try and get under people's skins, and I have to tell you it worked. Because this threat happens to be the reason I am in the situation I am right now. This bitch, that's right, bitch, is the reason why I am currently in this position. This woman is the reason why right now I am a mentally scarred, an angered, a desperate man, willing to do everything and anything to win the Undisputed Championship. When Eighteen decided she was going to enter this match, when she decided she was going to make a big career comeback at SummerSlam, she made the worst decision of her life.

| Scene | Mr. Man then makes one the most sickening and perversed smirks of his life, looking at the camera.

| Mr. Man | When I found out Eighteen was entering this match, and ready to make her return, I made myself two goals. One was win the Undisputed Championship, and get the ultimate revenge. The other, was if for some reason, I do not win the Undisputed Championship, I was gonna make sure that Eighteen never, ever, ever, is the same again. I promised myself I was not only gonna injure Eighteen beyond the point of injury, but that I was going to make sure she is never, ever allowed to walk again. I am planning on not only ending her career, but nearly ending her life. Because of Eighteen, I am a bitter, desperate man, willing to beat her ass just to win the Undisputed Championship. She has ruined my career, so I end hers, and at SummerSlam, that is my plan. I plan on destroying her well enough so that she is never the "Android" she was again. I plan on tearing through that immortality in her, and not only making her mortal once again, but mortal enough for me to destroy her. Eighteen, Jennifer, at SummerSlam, I will not only kill your dreams at winning back the Undisputed Championship, but I will kill your life at being a functional person again.

| Scene | Mr. Man keeps that sickening smirk on his face, continuing at the camera.

| Mr. Man | SummerSlam, that'll be the night I will win back a World title, and what better World title than the Undisputed Championship? I have been waiting 9 long months, 9 long, grueling, terrible months just to get one shot, one opportunity at the Undisputed Championship, and it all comes to a head at SummerSlam. And no matter who I face in that ring, whether it be Umaga, whether it be White Tiger, Scotty Blaze, Rikku. Hell, whether it be Jennifer, at SummerSlam, I am making a vow, a vow that is 9 months in the making. At SummerSlam, I am walking out not second best, not International Champion, not X-Division Champion, I am walking out eWe Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World! Because everyone in that match, they are living in the past, on past accomplishments, on past achievments, when it is really the present. And now at present time, everyone in that match needs to realize, that the Gold Standard, the best in the business, the Future, is Here!

| Scene | The scene then fades off slowly, as the last shot from the camera is Mr. Man's eyes burning with intensity.
