The lone man slowly opens the large iron gates they creek a rusted old sound as he walks through them its dusk and almost dark. He makes his way along the path marble statues and large headstones surround him glowing eerily in the dying embers of the sun. In his hands he carries a dozen black roses his body with the grace of a dancer but there is something almost other worldly about him. He looks at the paper that's is roughly drawn in his hand. Heading forward as the path narrows he stops as he finds what he is looking for. There is a camera crew all ready set up here he throws the flowers on the heaped earth and stands head down in respect and starts to laugh in the darkness a deep growling laughter. The type of laughter that is at home in a movie about vikings or barbarians. The laughter grows louder and louder as we see a lone man stood at a grave side his jacket almost touching the dirt and gravel under his black boots. His feet sink slightly under his weight as the ground freshly dug. He looks at the grave stone and laughs again. We wait a few minutes as a single crow flies down and lands on the grave stone and starts tapping on the cold granite. The man roars and grabs the crow by the neck and throws it across the grave yard he growls.
"Not this time, I'm making sure you are gone for good."
The man turns and walks away as the name of the person buried deep is revealed as Hayden Rayne. As we follow the man the camera crew finally catches up with him and we see Damage mask and all laughing away as moves closer to his bike. He looks up at the clear sky and then at the camera crew trying to make their way closer to the tag team champion. He beckons to them his hand in a leather glove he waits leaning against his roadster as they get comfortable as the red light comes on he smiles.
"Envy was great wasn't it. Nero put on a show for the ages with the stars no superstars of the OW putting there bodies on the line for the fans all over the world and sweet mercy it was amazing to hear all those fans. When I beat cross they where loud when Vig and Nero shook hands they where loud but when Hayden Rayne the Plague of wrestling was finally buried well they made the hole in the Ozone layer bigger. You see Rayne was a cancer and the only way to deal with cancer is to cut it out and all the organs it has infected. In the now defunct MCW I did that I took his belt and cut the cancer out. But just like any cancer he showed up elsewhere first in AW and then here and tried to run it when that didn't work he tried to run it into the ground. Causing chaos in the locker room behind the scenes, but we are not supposed to talk about that. I just wanted to make sure that the SOB is truly gone for good."
Damage looks up at the stars again as if he is counting them then he smiles again.
"You see wrestling is a funny business you show one youngster up you beat him, pin him and then another shows up twice as arrogant and three times as cocky. I mean of course, the Russian Villain Cobalt Dragov. You know what makes it so funny to me twenty years ago when I started in this business some of us older guys used to travel around the independent circuit we would do shows in little backwards towns. The promoter would always have a russian wrestler usually Boris or Ivan something like that. He would have a beard or long hair a silly tattoo and an accent, he wouldn't speak much but when he did it would be broken english. The sad part is he may have looked scary but the dude wouldn't be able to wrestle his way out of a paper bag but the crowds well they just loved to boo him hope that the hero beat him. You know what Dragov I always did. You see that's not the funny part though, the funny part would be that when we got changed that same russian wrestler would introduce himself as Steve or Brian and he would be from new york or texas. I mean if you had trained in Canada you would know even the late great Stu hart had a russian wrestling bear."
Damage smiles remembering something from his past before continuing.
"You talk the talk very well Dragov you have the accent all though it does seem to slip into an american drawl sometimes, you have the long hair and the Chris Angel dark look about you, all very menacing. But your lacking something, a hook some type of sparkle that will just bring your comedy act to the next level. You see Dragov I'm not american I don't have the inbuilt fear of the scary russian that they might. I'm South African with a scottish mother I come from two of the scariest country's known to man and I'm combination. You think you where oppressed in Russia ha walk a mile in my shoes."
Damage lifts up his boot to show the camera then stands up looking into the camera as he runs his hands through his hair before continuing.
"Dragov you truly make no sense I have had more luck trying to follow a episode of days of our lives than follow your promo's. First you talk of me running my mouth about you? When in fact we bumped into each other once you smacked me in the mouth I beat you to a pulp and had to be pulled of your prone body then as I was leaving I said that I liked you? Maybe there is a language problem or in Russia is that running my mouth? That's the only time I mentioned you. Second thing you come out and attack me at envy which is cool to make an impact which you did, Then the next day your telling everyone I'm no star? Again you want to make a name and show the world, challenge me a guy you think has no talent who does not deserve to be in the OW then why choose me to make your name?. You make no sense I think you hired the same script writer Hayden used to use he never made much sense either. "
Damage shakes his head and kneels and picks up a large rock and begins to throw it and catch it as he continues.
"You see Dragov you talk of astronomy and the stars and planets, Then you refer to your self as the moon. The moon again it makes no sense. I mean I get Nero as the sun and even Cross as Jupiter and Spaz as Mars but you as the moon? Son what did they teach you at school the moon is not and never was a planet. Its an asteroid a satellite if you will, Then I wondered are you meaning the Earths moon because well that's the one most people think off, But then you could be one of Mars's moons or Jupiter's well the list goes on and on. Personally I think your more of a black hole a big void of empty space that has no real use except as a plot device in star trek when they have exhausted all the other plots"
Damage stops throwing the rock and looks at it closing one eye. Then smiles again as he continues answering Cobalt.
"It gets better I wonder if I hit you harder than I thought I had because after your head in the clouds you talk of me offering you my hand? Erm when did this mystery event happen. I mean sure I let you climb in the ring after I beat your boy cross, I now know I should have beaten you again straight away, you see that as friendship? That was sympathy that you where not on the show. Plain and simple Dragov sure you got the upper hand at Envy you won the battle feel proud son, But at oracle its time for me to end this war."
Damage changes his whole tone and demeanor no more jokes and smiles he gets very serious before continuing.
"Dragov your mind games and slights I've seen them all before, I've seen the Evil Russian played to death. I've watched rip off James Bond villains Lex luthor want to be's and Joker pretenders. I have fought masked giants and arrogant pricks all of them have called me kid and under estimated my talent in that squared circle that we perform in. From Hayden Rayne to my good friend Vigilante I have shocked them and the world over and over. The one thing I never do is under estimate and over look someone, I have no doubts that you are dangerous Dragov, Any man or women in OW is. Any of them deserve to be in that ring. Just as I know you do, But and this is real important don't think this gives you some edge over me. Its the same mistake that all my opponents make, I'm a student of the game brother and the teacher she is a cold hard one but I learn each week I'm blessed to step through those ropes. At Oracle you get to show the world you get to Debut. At Oracle I will prove once again why I am one of the best wrestlers in OW period, why I am the king of the Geeks and why I am the man who will hand you your first defeat in OW."
Damage steps over his bike with a smile before turning back and saying.
"Dragov I'm sure you believe in Fate and you think that yours is to beat me. But I know your wrong at Oracle, when you find your self pinned in the center of the ring looking up at those stars you pay no heed to! Maybe you can ask them what happened? Even better you take one of your special little decoder rings and see if you can decode when the ref lifts my hand and the ring announcer says Damage wins again Damage wins again."
Damage starts the engine and pulls away laughing as he goes.
"Not this time, I'm making sure you are gone for good."
