" the deranged soul "

[[ Don't try it at home. You've seen it and you've heard it plenty of times. It's drilled into you every single time you turn on the Television to watch the program; why? To stop insanity taking advantage of your sanity. You've had dreams .. dreams of climbing to the top of the turnbuckle. Dreams of leaping off the turnbuckle .. dreams .. of glory. Some may or may not choose to admit it; the fact is, you idolise those who risk their life every week. You RESPECT .. you HONOUR those who put their bodies through decimating pain; career ENDING pain. The colperate of hardcore .. of insanity and of sheer guts is not up for debate. Ever since Mankind made his debut he's endured PUNISHEMNT after PUNISHMENT after PUNISHMENT .. his blood .. his sweat .. his TEARS - each one of them have been put into the business. Cast your mind back to King Of The Ring, 1998. For those of you who witnessed that historic night, it's a memory that will forever lay in the back of your mind .. for it was that very night .. that Mankind captured your heart in an indescribable way. Let me remind you of that night; Mankind one on one with The Undertaker or The Phenom, as we knew him better back then. Hell In A Cell - a match not for the weak at heart - saw these two men slug it out on top of the Cell. Two warriors .. two SURVIVORS .. exchanging rights, lefts, knees - you name it, these men were doing it. Suddenly, a twist of events. The Undertaker - MANHANDLING Mankind .. and BRUTALLY .. SADISTICALLY threw Mankind off The Cell.

The injuries were never to be forgotten; Mankind went through the commentary table, he hit the steel barier and he was drained of any last spec of energy he had left. The medics came, they placed Mankind on the stretcher; but was that all? Nah, not by a long shot. With Taker still on top of the Cell, Mankind got off the stretcher and climbed BACK up to stand face to face, toe to toe with The Undertaker. Can you remember what happened next? Yeah, I think you can .. I know you can. The Undertaker wrapped his hand around Mankind's neck and Chokeslamed him THROUGH the Cell right down onto the mat; a SICKENING scene it was .. but was it enough to keep Mankind down? Nah. It took another Chokeslam on hundreds of thumbtacks and it took a Tombstone Piledriver to FINALLY put this man .. this INSANE man, to rest. The match wasn't won but the hearts of millions around the world, was.

This coming Wednesday, the battle between Mankind and The Undertaker shall commence once again. The match type, you ask? Hell .. IN .. A CELL! A match for the ages; a match that the world will be tuned into, no doubt. Conflict marks the return to the ring for Mankind .. but more importantly as far as we're concerned .. It's HELL .. RE-VISITED! ]]

[[ Preparations are well in the process; not only does PWR's Conflict mark the debut show, but it also marks as one hell of a night for both The Undertaker and Mankind. The Hell In A Cell - Round II, so to speak. Inside the arena The Hell In A Cell has already been lowered for quite some time. Backstage Workers are testing it's strength by shaking it repeatedly and kicking it as hard as they possibly can. However, the camera is more focused on the man INSIDE of The Cell, crawled up to a corner trying to hide his face, somewhat. ]]

[ Mankind ] They.. they said I wasn't GOOD enough. They said I WAS UGLY! THEY WERE WRONG!! I never got the chance like all the other Boys did at school. I was left out .. I HAD NO FRIENDS! I WAS PICKED ON! Why? Because they said I was ugly. They said I had no brains. At the time, do you know how it made me feel? DO YOU!? IT MADE ME FEEL TERRIBLE! It made me seek that ever so sweet word, revenge. They doubted me; YOU doubted me .. THE WORLD DOUBTED MANKIND! But now .. thing's have changed. I have payed the PRICE for being ugly; I have PAID the PRICE for being a dumb kid .. NOW .. NOW I GET TO MAKE CHAOS! I GET TO DO WHAT I WAS ALWAYS GOOD AT; THE ONLY THING .. THAT I WAS GOOD AT! I used to sit in my room, play with a pretty barbie doll .. play nicely .. until one day .. ONE COLD DAY IN HELL I decided to change. I RIPPED THE DOLL'S HEAD OFF AND I CHEWED ON IT UNTIL THERE WAS NOTHING .. LEFT!! .. A deranged soul .. a mad-man .. THAT I AM!

[[ Mankind slowly lifts his head up to the camera. ]]

[ Mankind ] Undertaker .. you have to think to yourself. Are you capable of being able to handle .. an insane piece of nature? You have to ask yourself 'Taker .. DO I REALLY WANT MY EAR BITTEN OFF!? BECAUSE I WILL TAKER! I WILL DO ANYTHING TO SEE YOU RIETH IN AGONY; ANYTHING!! (Mankind Pauses For A Second) Do I frighten you Taker? Do I make you think twice?

[[ Suddenly, Mankind begins jumping around like a jack in a box. Mankind is PUNCHING himself, throwing his HEAD up against The CELL! After three shots to the head, Mankind BUSTS open! What a psychotic act! ]]

[ Mankind ] DO I UNDERTAKER!? DOES THIS SCARE YOU TO SEE THAT I LOVE MY OWN BLOOD!? (A SICK Grin Crosses His Face) You can hit me with all you've got .. Chairs .. Sledgehammers .. ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE ME BLEED! ANYTHING THAT WOULD HURT A NORMAL PERSON .. But it WON'T effect me! I AM NOT LIKE ANY OF YOU! Mrs. Foleys baby boy is NOT like you! Mrs. Foleys baby boy is a misfit; a misfit on a mission for one thing.. GOLD! SWEET, PRECIOUS, ILLUSTRIOUS GOLD!! 'Taker .. my dear friend .. I would risk losing a LEG, AN ARM AND A HUNDRED TEETH JUST TO TIGHTLY HOLD THAT BELT! I will do the same on Wednesday Night .. to see you rest in shattered, bloody pieces.

[[ Another force of rage attacks Mankind as he grabs his hair and yanks it as hard as one could ever pull. After about ten or fifteen seconds, Mankind pulls out a CHUNK of hair and shows it politely to the camera. My god .. Mankind .. is LAUGHING!! ]]

[ Mankind ] DID YOU SEE THAT!? I PULLED MY OWN HAIR OUT! THIS HAIR .. IT USED TO BE ATTACHED TO MY HEAD, 'TAKER! HA-HA-HA!! INSANITY .. MADNESS .. IT'S A WONDERFUL ASPECT OF LIFE! Think carefully 'Taker .. if you didn't have ME, things like ME, you would be lost. YOU WOULD HAVE A PERFECT LIFE! But 'Taker .. LIFE .. IS NOT PERFECT! NO, NO, NO, NO!! IT'S A LIVING HELL! In this world .. things like me .. we're not liked. We're not wanted. We're not loved .. things like me .. we don't BEG for forgiveness. WE BEG FOR BLOOD; WE BEG FOR YOUR MERCY; WE BEG .. THAT YOU GET ON YOUR KNEES .. LOOK INTO OUR EYES AND CRY YOUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PERFECT EYES OUT!!! CRY .. CRY .. CRY!! THAT'S WHAT MANKIND WANT'S YOU TO DO, TAKER! CRY YOUR INNOCENT HERAT OUT LIKE A NINE YEAR OLD KID WHOM HAS DROPPED HIS ICE-CREAM!

[[ A maniacal laugh crackles from underneath the mask as Mankind looks at the Cell with a sadistically, cruel grin. He kindly runs his hands down the brutality as if it were the back of a silky, smooth puppy dog. ]]

[ Mankind ] The lovely sensation .. of steel. To be able to take it's pain.. FIRST .. you must understand the steel! You must feel it's weaknesses, feel it's strengths .. but above all else .. CARE FOR IT! CARE FOR IT LIKE A 6 MONTH BABY! TREAT IT WITH RESPECT! HONOUR IT!! .. For it is the STEEL that end's your career. It is the steel that lashes the skin off your back; a divine feeling it is.

[[ Mankind sticks his tongue between the Cell, licking it like a lollypop. ]]

[ Mankind ] The taste .. IS LIKE NO OTHER! Taker, you don't understand how the steel feels .. It's got a MIND of it's own. THE STEEL HATES US! IT HATES EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US! But it respects me. It accepts the fact that I LOVE pain, that I LOVE to see my body covered in blood .. IT ACCEPTS ME FOR WHO I AM! You people .. you look DOWN on me because.. because I'M DIFFERENT! Including you 'Taker .. after all we've been through . Me, you, The Steel - yet you show no compassion towards either of us. The comparison between mankind and Steel is so much alike. BOTH OF US TAKE PAIN AND STILL STAND UP! BOTH OF US INFLICT TREMENDOUS, GORGEOUS PAIN ONTO YOU PEOPLE!! This steel, Taker, is what you will be TASTING on Conflict. Your SKIN will be hanging out of it's holes .. your BLOOD WILL BE DRIPPING FROM IT! I .. WILL BE LAUGHING! I WILL BE LOVING EVERY .. SINGLE BIT OF IT! For your brother .. your parents .. I will show consideration .. I WILL SHOW DECENTCY! I WILL SEND THEM BACK YOUR BONDES .. YOUR BLOODIED HAIR .. I WILL SEND THEM BACK YOUR REMAINS!! .. I have been waiting a LONG time .. A LONG .. LONG LONG TIME FOR THIS MOMENT! God gave me the honour .. the GIFT to be inhumane .. on CONFLICT YOU WILL FEEL DEATH! YOU WILL FEEL THE CELL'S POWER; IT'S DOMINANCE! IT'S EVER SO LOVEABLE FEELING WHEN YOUR HEAD .. IS GRINDED UPON IT! For me Taker, feeling that steel scrape against my eyes .. it's HEAVEN! Feeling a chair crack against my skull is a feeling that I WANT .. and NEED to feel AGAIN! TAKER; LIFE .. IS .. HELL! PAIN .. IS PRECIOUS! Until Wednesday, until the moment .. UNTIL I RIP YOU LIMB BY LIMB, WATCHING YOU BLEED LIKE A SLIT WRIST .. try to
HAVE A NICE DAY!

[[ Slapping his Face harder each time he hits himself, Mankind begins to bleed refusely. It doesn't seem to bother him however, as he continues his own personal assault on himself; sickening, to say the least. ]]

[ Mankind ] ARRRGGGGHH! ARRRRGGGGHH! BLOOD BATH, TAKER .. BLOOD BATH! HAHAHAHA! LOVEABLE .. SILKY .. RED .. THICK .. BLOOD!! HA-HA-HA!

[[ Blood trickles down Mankinds mask and onto his white collared shirt, as the camera zooms out of a sick and sorry sight. ]]

[[ Fade out to black. ]]
