Out Of Touch

[Will]

The following announcement has been paid for by... The EBWF

The static was loud during the opening message of the EBWF.net exclusive video. The screen remained black and white in a nWo type of fashion before showing images of Paul Heyman and AJ Styles.

AJ Styles: I'm "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and I am the Path to Glory Champion.

Styles looked like a thief in the night dressed in black. He stood in front of a dozen large backgrounds lights that made his shadowy appearance more intimidating. Behind him was his advocate who was sporting his trademark baseball cap while holding the PTG Championship, Paul Heyman.

AJ Styles: The Path to Glory Championship is supposed to highlight the best of the best up and coming wrestler. Nine men have held this title. Five have been World Champion. This title is suppose to signify the next World Champion.The way I see it, it's not even an opportunity. It's more like something to shut me up with. I have left a trail of bodies on my "Path to Glory" and what happens? They throw the wolf a fucking bone. I don't give a damn about the bone. I don't give a damn about this title. I want blood. I want flesh. I'm going after the top prize in this industry the EBWF World Championship and I don't give a damn if I have to go through the CEO, the NWO or the RKO. It's only a matter of time.

The champion ignored the camera as Heyman stepped forward showing off the championship belt.

Paul Heyman: Kevin Nash, on Monday night you step into the ring again for the first time in years. You are so out of touch with reality that you actually believe you stand a chance against my client. Denial. Kevin, listen to me. We've never really been "friend" because let's be real, I don't like you and you don't like me. But I listen to you and you constantly try to give this crappy advice about seizing the moment and getting over. As if you were actually ever over. Let me remind you Big Daddy Cool that you will go down in history as one of the worst World Champions in history. Why do you think the Ikedas never trusted you to be their World Champion? I'll tell you why! Because you're nothing more than a senile prehistoric neanderthal who is a slimy and as sneaky as they come. I may be sinister son of a bitch but if I know anything I know that Kevin Nash is a heartless bastard and doesn't give a damn about anything besides dollar signs. So allow me to give you some advice, Vinnie. If you know what's good for you wont show up tonight because if you do.. Nobody will be able to stop you from being victimized at the hands of the greatest wrestler in the galaxy.

The dark wrathful warrior AJ Styles had become in the recent months was not a nice person to know. His heart was as cold as Chicago and he was willing to put everything on the line because he had nothing to lose. Standing in the spotlight now he wore a haunted expression on his unshaven face.

AJ Styles: Kevin Nash. I hate you. We all hate you. You have no fans. You have no friends. You lie to the people. You lie to yourself. You make them think you give a damn about the beating I gave to your "bestfriend" Scott Hall. You don't give a single fuck. You found a reason to get another paycheck. Answer me this question, Nash. How much are you getting paid to wrestle me tonight let alone show your hideous face? Probably more than Trent? makes in an entire year. Guys like you and Syxx make me sick. Guys like you are what's wrong with this company. You think you outwork us. You think you're more entitled than we are just because you did something a decade ago. Woopdie fucking doo. It's over. You don't have to pass the torch. I'm going to take it from you. Tonight I'm going to hurt you Kevin Nash. I'm going to cripple you if I can. One year ago you limped into my life and became a pain in my side. You were the reason I lost the World Championship. You bought my contract and made me compete in handicap matches. You basically shitted on my career. The thing is, you should've double flushed because I did not go down. I just may be a piece of shit. I may have done things that some would say are evil. I have to be honest and admit that I plan on commenting many more sins. I might be going to Hell after what I do to you tonight, Nash.

Styles was obviously hostile due to the pain he had gone through physically and mentally. He stood ready for war with his chest in the air as he spoke in a very furious tone.

AJ Styles: You look at me as this guy who does cool flips. These are the only flips I'm going to give you.

The screen blurred out the flipping of the birds.

AJ Styles: I'm not trying to be Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, Syxx or Kevin Nash. None of you amount to anything here in the EBWF. I don't want to be anybody but AJ Styles. I don't have to get over with the people in order to be successful. You want me to seize the moment. That's exactly what I'm doing. No matter how low I have to go. I'm taking back everything that was taken from me... by force! Nash, you should know that I'm not worried about you being out to get me. There is nothing more you can do to hurt me. You're the one that should be worried, because I am out to get you. I'm out to rid the world of the abomination known as Kevin Nash once and for all. I do not underestimate what you are capable of, but you underestimate what I am capable of. You think I won't hurt you? I'll rip those surgically repaired legs off and beat you with them. Think again. I am salivating at the fact that I get to tear you limb from limb and there is not a damn thing anybody can do about it. Syxx will have the best seat in the house and he will be helpless to this massacre. He will have to watch in horror as I beat the holy hell out of his good friend. Hopefully, Syxx will take me seriously then.

Paul Heyman: I'll be there front row as well and I'm going to take pleasure watching you eliminate another has-been from this company. Off with his head!

AJ Styles: Let's face the facts, Nash. You're a physical wreck. You've become a running joke in the locker room. Not that Nash would ever run of course. Last week you weren't cleared to compete but this week you are. I'm so surprised that it took an entire year, but we finally get to go face to face, man to man, in a fight. Look on the bright side Nash, tonight you are going to draw the big numbers, because the entire world will be tuning in to see the retirement of Kevin Nash. That's not a threat, that's a promise.

With the final words said the scene faded to complete static, leaving the viewer in anticipation for the war that lied ahead.
