" 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 World War 3 Logo fades away, as the cameras begin rolling in a particular locker room; MANKIND's locker room. In the middle of the room, roughly, there's a Television set up with a V.C.R. The camera switches it's position, zooming in on the tortured soul of Mankind whom is laying up in a corner against the wall with a video tape in which he holds close to himself. ]]

[ Mankind ] This tape holds all of the answers. It holds the truth .. THE UTTER .. TRUTH! The reality .. THE ROCK'S FUTURE! IT HAS ALL THE ANSWERS FOR THE QUSTIONS YOU PUT FORWARD!

[[ Mankind is garding the tape as if it were worth a million bucks. ]]

[ Mankind ] God gave The Rock talent, looks, HE GAVE HIM EVERYTHING! God .. made him NORMAL! On the Eighth Day, when mankind was born .. WHY WAS THAT SUCH A BAD THING!? How could God be .. SELFISH .. and forget about me? HOW COULD HE!? I WENT THROUGH YEARS AND YEARS OF AGONIZING .. PAIN! I SUFFERED LIKE A DOG WITH TWO LEGS - I WAS PICKED APART BY THE OTHER KIDS LIKE VOLTURES PECKING AWAY AT THE REMAINS OF AN ANIMAL!! .. I was RIDICULED from DAY ONE! DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, AS TO WHAT I FELT LIKE? Do you REALIZE .. that it's because of rich, spoilt brats like The Rock .. THAT MADE ME LIKE THIS! It was the population of this PITTIFUL society .. THAT TURNED MRS. FOLEYS BABY BOY INTO A MADMAN!!

[[ A change in the air; you can feel it. Mankind's thinking shifts from dwelling in the past, to dealing .. with the present. ]]

[ Mankind ] But why .. WHY DWELL ON THE PAST, WHEN I HAVE THE ROCK .. TO LOOK FORWARD TO!? I've never awoken to smell the roses .. but THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK OPEN THE ROCK, MEANS A LOT MORE! Being able to WITNESS the blood trickle down his face is a feeling in which I am PREPARED .. to do ANYTHING .. to experience. THAT FEELING IS A DESIRE; A DESIRE THAT MUST BE MET! And on Sunday Night - IT WILL BE!

[[ Gently, Mankind pulls his hair "sensibly", so to speak. Looking down at the tape, he softly speaks. ]]

[ Mankind ] Rock .. I know the truth. I know YOU ALL TOO WELL! Because

[[ The tone of Mankind's voice intensifies immensely. ]]

[ Mankind ] Because DEEP INSIDE .. YOU'RE MERELY A MIRROR IMAGE .. OF ALL MY ATTORICITES!! But you see - there's one slight differential in this little puzzle of ours. God made me different .. he made me a cut above the rest. When he made me .... I BROKE THE GOD DAMN MOLD! For you see, Rock, while we both may have that same atrocity .. that ever so sweet thirst for blood .. that instinct for hatred - for hatred and RAGE ... swelling within our SOULS! The difference between you and I ... is I ... I AM NOT AFRAID TO ACCEPT WHO I AM!! I AM NOT AFRAID TO EMBRACE WHO I AM! BUT YOU!?!?!? YOU'RE IN DENIAL, ROCK! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS I AM AND YOU CAN'T STAND IT! YOU WON'T ADMIT IT! SO WHILE YOU RUN FROM YOUR TRUE SELF LIKE THE COWARD YOU REALLY ARE ... I EMBRACE IT!!! I USE IT TO MY DISTINCT ADVANTAGE WHENEVER I DAMN WELL CAN!!! AND THERE ISN'T A SINGLE DOUBT IN MY SICK .. TWISTED ... DEMENTED MIND ... THAT I'LL BE HAVING THAT VERY SAME ADVANTAGE, OVER YOU AT WORLD .. WAR .. 3!

[[ Mankind is STRUGGLING to breathe properly. He's gasping for air at a fast and heavy pace, as the camera focuses in on the tape which he has. "The Rock" has been written on the side of it; if you didn't know any better, you'd accuse a three year old of writing it. ]]

[ Mankind ] Watch, Rock .. WATCH AND LISTEN!

[[ The Deranged Soul crawls over to the V.C.R and sticks the tape in. He presses the play button on the V.C.R and turns the Television on. It starts off as a black screen but cuts to footage from last week's edition of Conflict from when The Rock and Vince McMahon called out Shane McMahon to the ring. ]]

[ Mankind ] Isn't this such .. such a BEAUTIFUL sight?

[[ A big grin flashes across Mankind's face, as the footage continues to move on. Shane McMahon explains to The Rock, that a Man has a score to settle. A man .. that wants his revenge. ]]

[ Mankind ] MY FAVOURITE PART - COMING RIGHT UP!!

[[ Eagerly, Mankind anticipates the next move. Shane McMahon tells The Rock that the man he's talking about is right behind him - Rock, Vince and Test turn around to see Mankind standing there, with a VICIOUS, hungry look about him. The camera zooms right in on the facial expressions of The Rock and Vince McMahon, who wide eyed, look like they've just seen a Ghost. Test CHARGES at Mankind but misses the Big Boot, and in return, gets a Mandible Claw for his troubles. The Rock and Vince McMahon QUICKLY escape the ring, wanting NONE of Mankind whatsoever. Shane McMahon, standing at the top of the ramp, smirks evily .. then, the video tape fades to another black screen. The camera switches from the Television BACK to Mankind - who quite obviously, enjoys the fear that he put The Rock and Vince McMahon through. ]]

[ Mankind ] I .. I .. I LOVED THAT! Your face, Rock; it .. it was beautiful. It was scared; SCARED OF WHAT YOU HAVE IN-STORE! Scared .. for your future. YOU HIGH-TAILED OUT OF THAT RING, ROCK, because .. BECAUSE YOU KNEW THAT I WOULD TORTURE YOU - YOU KNEW .. that if you didn't get outta there .. I'd be wearing YOU as a BODY SUIT! HA-HA! You KNEW Rock, and you were SMART ENOUGH to avoid confrontation - but let me assure you, this Sunday Night you CAN'T avoid me. I'll be a STAIN to your Shirt .. A STAIN THAT YOU CAN'T WASH OUT!

[[ The Deranged One climbs to his feet and looks at the Television, then back at the camera. ]]

[ Mankind ] I can only imagine what might be going through your mind. I BET that you're SCARED out of your brains! I BET YOU WISH YOU NEVER SPAT IN THE FACE .. OF MANKIND ... because now, Rocky .. it's come back to bite you in the ass. Now it's come back .. TO DESTROY YOU - TO SEND YOU INTO A STATE WHERE YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU'D EVER BE IN - FORCED .. RETIREMENT!! You KNOW that when you push a Madman over an edge .. you're ASKING .. for trouble; for yourself to be DECIMATED! For years, you PUT ME DOWN! For years - like so many others have done, you DIS-RESPECTED ME! You treated me like DIRT - LIKE SOFT, USELESS .. DIRT! And now you're scared - because you know .. you KNOW .. that what you did has come back to haunt you. IT'S COME BACK TO KICK YOU SQUARE IN THE FACE! And you don't want to believe that, do you .. Rock? You don't want to ADMIT to that because afterall .. you're meant to be some Elbow Dropping, Eyebrow Raising MORON! That's what you're SUPPOSED to be but now.. NOW I'VE EXPOSED THE TRUE YOU - THE REAL ROCK! I WANT my vengeance and I'm DAMN sure going to get it at World War 3. This Championship - IT'S NOT AT THE SLIGHTEST OF RISK! It's NOT going to leave my grasp because for as long as I'm STANDING .. as long as I'm BREATHING .. I WILL NOT BE PUT OUT OF MISERY! (Mankind Laughs) I think you realize that too, Rocky. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE AFRAID TO FACE YOUR FEARS! But you don't have a choice .. YOU DON'T HAVE THAT DECISION BECAUSE IT WAS MADE FOR YOU! I'm a MAN on a mission; a FREAK .. on a mission. I won't stop .. UNTIL I SEE YOU; LYING THERE, LIFELESS .. DEFENSELESS .. with your career fading away into thin air. HA-HA-HA! You will rest in pieces; MILLIONS and MILLIONS of tiny, insignificant little pieces. Life is an incurable disease and SO .. is Mrs. Foleys Baby Boy! Rock -

[[ With that in the book, Mankind pushes the Television off it's stand. It smashes everywhere; the glass scatters around at least a one metre perimeter. Mankind turns his attention to the V.C.R; seems pointless on it's own, right? Mankind picks up the V.C.R and with all his might throws it onto the ground. It smashes EVERYWHERE and makes a deafening sound. ]]

[ Mankind ] WRECKING THINGS .. IS WHAT I DO! This Sunday .. at World War 3, Rock; IT'S YOUR TURN! HA-HA-HA-HA!

[[ Mankind literally SCREAMS in laughter; he's fucking INSANE! The World War 3 Logo fades up, declaring the end of another "Insane" Episode of Mankind .. for now. That leaves us just a few short days away from the spectacular; the FIRST ever PWR Pay Per View. Will Mankind attain his Championship, or GAIN the PWR World Heavyweight Championship in what'll be Not ONE, but TWO severely BRUTAL matches for the Final Three. The task lays ahead of Mankind .. but the question remains un-answered; Is Mankind able to soldify himself as a PWR Legend? What else would you be able to put it down to? If Mankind captures the World Heavyweight Championship on Sunday Night .. he will truly be a Pro Wrestling Redefined .. LEGEND! ]]
