Casualties of War
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2019 6:39 pm
The video started out in complete blackness before static quickly took over the screen. Within a few seconds, that static began to fade and revealed Tommy End as he stood next to a votive candle display. The flickering light from the display showed a stone wall behind them. Tommy looked over at the numerous candles that were lit. He turned his head as he began to speak.
Tommy End
”Here we are.. Everything that Legion has said in the past few weeks, are coming true before you eyes. Now.. A lot of you denied those claims. You denied the fact that here in EBWF, everything is the same. You go back through the years, and the players might be different, but.. The show is exactly the same.
Except one thing...
Legion.”
He looked over his shoulder at that the candles. He took a second before he continued.
Tommy End
”You see, whether you like us or resent us. The facts are all laid out before you. Since Legion arrived here in EBWF, we’ve turned things upside down. We’ve controlled things from the bottom all the way to the top. You all may think that it was Jimmy Havoc, Aiden English, and The Miz who speered this new age of EBWF.. This rebirth. But it wasn’t.. It hasn’t been.
The rebirth of EBWF has yet to take form, and it won’t take form as long as the same old things keep happening. Instead, this new era of EBWF.. It’s going to be the death of EBWF.
Now Legion, together we fought for that not to happen. As I said, we are the harbingers of truth. The rightful leaders who were meant to bring EBWF out of the darkness that it put itself in. We were brought here to save EBWF. To reform it, the right way. The only way. We meant to reshape EBWF and bring it back to its former glory. The glory that brought EBWF to the top of the entertainment world. The “Mecca” of the wrestling world.”
Tommy outstretched his arms.
Tommy End
”But here we are, on the verge of another new year. Another year that Legion has been fighting the fight. Another year that EBWF continues to stay in the same old ways. Another year closer to its bitter end.”
He paused as he brought his arms back in. He looked over at the candles and shook his head.
Tommy End
”Now.. Warfare comes once more, and the battle lines are set..
Marty..
You fought against Legion in hopes to stop the grand awakening. You fought against Legion because you thought that you were fighting for the right cause. The noble cause.. A cause that you lost. But in turn, the cause that you fought for..
Look around.”
He paused for another moment.
Tommy End
”The EBWF you fought for.. This EBWF.. It’s still here. I mean it’s right in front of your eyes. If you look all around, you will see.. Legion might have won the battle at Fanniversary last year.. But this endless war is still going. The EBWF you fought for, is still going.
But look at it.. Just take a long hard look at the landscape that you helped to save. The landscape that you thought was the way EBWF should be. You Marty.. You helped cloak this company in the darkness that will soon devour everything last thing. It’s just a matter of time.. It could be next week.. A month from now.. Hell, EBWF could continue on for a few more years, but what would it have truly accomplished? What would your impact in saving EBWF from Legion, truly mean?
It means the end..”
Tommy slowly shifted himself and he reached forward. He picked up a long thin piece of wood and he lifted it in front of him.
Tommy End
”Now Marty, I’m not putting the blame on you. There are a number of individuals that are to blame for the downfall of this once great company. Numerous individuals at all levels of the business. So don’t believe that this is me blaming you for the darkness that surrounds EBWF. The darkness that Legion fought to destroy. The darkness that we, tried to stop.
No no, Marty..
Legion hasn’t stopped our fight to rid this company of the impurities that will bury it beneath the sands of time. We will continue to attempt to change EBWF for the better. For the greater good.. But in that fight, there will be a lot of lost souls.. There will be casualties.. But..
That’s just the price of war.”
Tommy stuck his stick into the flame of one of the lit candles he held it there as it sparked a flame of its own. Tommy slowly moved the flame on the tip of the stick over to one of the unlit candles. He held it to the wick and in a few seconds, the candle’s wick was set ablaze.
Tommy End
”At Warfare, Marty.. You will become just another lost soul. Another casualty in this endless war.”
Tommy blew out the flame on the tip of the lighting stick. Just then, the static overtook the screen as the video came to an abrupt end.
