" the deranged soul "

[[ Victorious for the third week straight; Mankind defeated Christian, Chris Jericho and Simon Dean in a Fatal Four Way at Conflict in The Main Event for the PWR United States Championship. Mankind .. had MADE history! The FIRST EVER U.S Champion to grace a PWR ring and the CHANCE to add to the collection this Sunday Night, when the opportunity of a lifetime arises. The opportunity .. to claim yourself .. as PWR's first ever World Heavyweight Champion. Last week, Mankind continued to impress the professional wrestling world by capturing the United States Title in a match that nobody expected him to walk out with an extra 20 pounds around his waiste. Once again, for the third week in a row, Mankind proved the critics wrong by pulling off another impressive victory. One has to ask themselves .. how much BETTER does it get for a man who prides himself on the feeling of pain? Haha, It gets A LOT better .. because at World War 3 .. Mankind has yet again, another massive opportunity to make history .. THIS TIME .. as the World Heavyweight Champion.

If he is to hold that World Heavyweight Championship up high above his head after World War 3, Mankind will have to first defeat Seven Men in The FIRST of THREE Battle Royals - If he succeeds, Mankind will face off against the two other winners from the other Battle Royals in a quest to become the first ever, PWR World Heavyweight Champion. Three weeks in - who say's this is impossible? Mankind defined the fact that he CAN defeat anyone and anybody when he put The Undertaker to rest in a Hell In A Cell Match, followed by a win over William Regal which THEN lead to last week's crowning. If Mankind were to walk out with the World Heavyweight Championship, you would cap off his career in PWR as already, an inspirational success story. Although it won't be any easy task - Mankind has proved every critic wrong to date. EVERY time he's had his back to the wall, Mankind has came out .. and he's put on a show that live on in our hearts forever. The quest to be the best has begun, but you'd have to think .. that being the United States Champion already - maybe the 'Deranged Soul' has an early mental advantage?

Let's not forget The Rock - Mankind's challenger for the UNITED STATES Championship. These two have had quite a history; it dates back to the early days of there illustrious careers when in the World Wrestling Entertainment franchise. Once the worst of enemies, once the best of friends - for as long as we live, these two will ALWAYS have that spark to put on a performance like no others can even DREAM of doing. This Sunday Night, these two men will do battle inside of the squared circle with a whole lot more on the line than just a Championship Belt; these two .. share hatred .. deep, deep, hatred. It seems only fitting that these two will square off at 'World War 3', as in the past .. these two have had some astonishing battles along with some amazing moments together. World War 3 represents the end of an era; the closing of a book .. but rest assure, these two will risk every bone in their BODY just to see the other fall down in great agony; in tremendous .. breath taking .. pain. Will The Rock make Mankind into a joke by making him out to be a One Week Wonder? Or will Mankind's un-beaten streak continue? There's not a doubt in my mind - World War 3 is the most IMPORTANT night of Mankind's LIFE! He could walk out of there with his U.S Title, he could walk out of there with the World Heavyweight Title, he could walk out of there with BOTH Belts .. or he could also walk out of World War 3 .. with absolutely NOTHING. The possiblities, as they say, are endless .. so tune into World War 3 - this Sunday, LIVE on pay per view! ]]

[[ The scene opens up in a cold, dark and lonely room. A room that we have to expect; Mankind's room. You can barely see anything - justa faint glimpse of a few objects lying around. The camera searches for a standout; nothing. Not a thing. Cobwebs are scattered across the room, it's practically the scene of a 50 year old Abandoned House. Suddenly .. the silence breaks. A voice can be heard; a very distinct voice. ]]

[ Mankind ] The walking wounded .. is what they refer to me. They refer to me as if my career is over .. as if my time had long passed. BUT IT HASN'T! It's FAR from being over; It's only just begun .. because as of this moment forward .. I WILL be known as the FIRST EEVR United States CHAMPION! And the suffering .. the PAIN that I put my opponents through - was indescribable. A feeling in which is one you would DIE to have again - this Title, it means very little to my intentions .. BUT IT WARMS MY HEART! It makes me feel .. "secure" .. IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL!

[[ A touch of light shines onto Mankinds deranged face. ]]

[ Mankind ] The touch of the cold Gold up against my bloodied, tortured face .. was wonderful. BATTERED AND BRUISED - I AM .. Finished, I'm NOT! As long as I'm standing on two feet .. on TWO .. FEET .. Then nothing will ever put me to sleep. Until the day I fall to the ground, I WILL STILL BE ASKIN' FOR MORE! Until the very day comes where I can't Stand or THINK for myself - I WILL be risking EVERY BONE .. IN MY BODY, AND YOURS! Words and words .. THEY WILL ALWAYS BE JUST THAT; WORDS! But my actions will forever speak loud .. my actions alone .. will send FEAR into EVERY living, functional mind! I BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF THREE GUYS! THREE .. GUYS! I walked outta' there, with THIS PIECE OF GOLD!

[[ Mankind lifts the Championship Belt up to the camera. ]]

[ Mankind ] THAT MAKES ME A CHAMPION! THAT MAKES ME .. SPECIAL! It makes me a PART of history; a PART OF SUCCESS! The young days of picking on Mrs. Foleys Baby Boy are well .. over .. because now - I'M DISHIN' OUT WHAT I TOOK! I'm handin' out Mandible Claws left, right and center .. why? Not because I have to. BECAUSE I WANT TO! BECAUSE I WANT TO FEEL THE FEAR AS I STICK MY HAND DOWN THEIR THROAT!! I WANT that feeling; I NEED THAT FEELING! It's an addiction; an ADDICTION to pain like an addiction to drugs! IT'S MY FUEL - MY GAS - IT'S WHAT I LIVE .. TO LOVE! Because God Knows .. Pain .. is PRECIOUS! Those who choose to ignore it; SUFFER IT! Those who understand it .. can protect themselves from self destruction. People like ME absorb the punishment and INFLICT it onto others .. IT'S A JOB! A CRUEL, YET LOVING JOB! Because without people like me; WITHOUT DERANGED SOULS LIKE MINE .. this world .. would be boring. This world .. would be perfect when in THIS lifetime - NOTHING is perfect! NOTHING AND NOBODY! So you should be THANKFUL and DELIGHTED .. that freaks like me .. KEEP THIS WORLD ON IT'S FEET! You may decide to ignore the truth .. but that's because it hurts. THE TRUTH, HURTS! And that's why it HURTS to know that this Sunday, Blood will be shed .. tears will be teared upon time and time again and SWEAT will be dripping like a tap of clean, clear water. Haha .. the time looms .. the time to HEAR the breaking of bones .. is dawning upon us. I CAN'T WAIT! I AM JUMPING .. OUT OF MY SKIN .. TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE CRACK OF BONES! To be able to hear the SNAP of a career; HAHAHAHA!

[[ Manically, Mankind hysterically laughs. The camera stays poised and focused on Mankind, who continues with procedings just a few moments later. ]]

[ Mankind ] MAIMED: To disable or disfigure, usually by depriving of the use of a limb. Oh, that sweet .. sweet .. incredible sound of a scream. A scream in fear. It tickles me from head to toe; IT MAKES ME FEEL .. "FUNNY!" It makes me WANT to rip EVERY head off in the Battle Royal and STUFF THE BODIES WITH FOAM! HA-HA-HA! That .. THAT WOULD BE MAGNIFICENT! That would be the dawning to a new era; a beautiful, sadistic era .. an era that only FREAKS like myself can enjoy. (Mankind Pauses) The Undertaker, William Regal, Christian, Simon Dean and Chris Jericho - ASK THEM! ASK THEM HOW THEY FELT WHEN THEY WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING! ASK THEM IF THEY FELT DISMANTLED - DISFIGURED .. DERANGED! Because at World War 3 - THE ROCK .. will REST IN PIECES - MILLIONS, AND MILLIONS OF TINY .. LITTLE .. PIECES! HAHA!

[[ Mankind's laughter slowly drifts off into silence. A few seconds pass by but Mankind stays silent. A few MORE seconds and eventually, Mankind speaks. ]]

[ Mankind ] The ROCK. The Movie Star. Such a .. talenetd man, aren't you? Gifted with looks - gifted with EVERYTHING! But there was ONE THING that you don't have. The WILL TO WIN! THE WILL TO WIN AT ANY COST, IF THAT EVEN MEANS PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK! You wouldn't DO that Rock, cause you THINK .. YOU THINK YOUR TOO GOOD! YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL - YOUR NOT! NOT, NOT, NOT! NOT SPECIAL! I .. AM SPECIAL - I'M THE UNITED STATES CHAMPION!! What makes you THINK that I'm going to give up THIS? I MIGHT BE INSANE BUT I WILL HOLD TIGHTLY ONTO THIS FOR AS LONG AS I POSSIBLY CAN!! After ALL these years - you're STILL wondering WHY you haven't been looked upon as the best. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU AREN'T! You would NEVER risk a body part to win a simple match; NEVER! You consider your life PRECIOUS - I DON'T! I CONSIDER MY LIFE AS A CHANCE TO MAKE OTHERS LIFE .. MISERABLE! Yes .. YOU MIGHT HAVE THE LOOKS - THE WOMEN, THE TALENT .. but can you keep a MADMAN like me down for a three count? CAN YOU PUT MY MIND TO REST FOR THREE SECONDS, ROCK!? CAN YOU!? CAN YOU!?

[[ A Sadistic Grin flashes across Mankind's face. ]]

[ Mankind ] You THINK you know pain and you THINK you can handle it; BUT YOU CAN'T! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE PAIN THAT I DISH OUT - NOBODY CAN! Sometimes Rock .. sometimes I scare myself. SOMETIMES I SCARE MYSELF SO MUCH THAT IT DRIVES ME COMPLETELY NUTS! And sometimes, Rock, I scare myself to an extent where tresspassers like you .. become marked men. And when you're a marked man, Rock, I LIVE TO SEE YOU BREATHE, CRY, SMELL AND TASTE .. agony. The pain that I dish out is indescribable; YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FEEL IT .. TO IDENTIFY IT! And at World War 3, YOU WILL COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT I AM A MADMAN ON THE LOOSE - AND LIKE IT OR NOT, I'M THE UNITED STATES CHAMPION! And YOU, Rock, can't take that away from me! It's my .. precious. My gold. My .. my dear, little baby boy. (Mankind Grins) I will dis-figure you into such a state that you won't EVER want to look in a mirror again .. such a STATE .. THAT YOUR VERY OWN KID IS AFRAID OF YOU! Such a state .. that they compare you to Me.

[[ Mankind rocks back and fourth on his haunches as the camera zooms into his face. ]]

[ Mankind ] Don't think that your chances are any better in the battle royal, for the time .. of MANKIND .. has arrived! I WILL CAPTURE THE PWR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP .. AND I WILL SQUEEZE THE FAME OUT OF IT LIKE A LEMON BEING USED ON A PIECE .. OF FISH!! So until World War 3 - 'till Sunday Night .. rest up Rock. Make sure you're prepared because you're not going into a match with another man. YOU'RE FACING A DERANGED, SICK, AND AN UN-CARING, CRAZY INDIVIDUAL! An individual .. with aims .. with goals .. to be fufilled. ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN!

[[ Strange - Mankind strokes his Championship as if it were a pet cat. ]]

[ Mankind ] HAVE A NICE DAY! .. Afterall .. IT'LL BE YOUR LAST!

[[ Rolling around on the floor, acting like an insane man at work, Mankind scrunches up into a ball whilst laughing in a SICKENING tone. Moments later, the scene draws to a close.. ]]

[[ Fade out to black. ]]

[[ Static. ]]
