"You know, I could sit here and tell you all about the very inception of The Silver and Gold Talent Agency, but this isn't Silver Goldstein's story, now is it? This is The Yokai of Japan's story… The man who has blessed me with his United States venture in search of American competition…"
Silver Goldstein sits in front of the camera and he lights up a Lucky Strike, taking a quick drag. He flicks some ashes into his crystal ashtray before continuing.
"What a first match, huh? My client gets to square off with Mr. Cruiserweight Division himself, while the rest of the riff raff have to battle for positioning… Kabukii takes his spot firmly without question."
Silver takes another drag, he smiles and lets the smoke flow from his flared nostrils.
"Little punks like Derrick Vayden believes he knows the rich history that my client brings to AW and he simply dismisses it, writing him off as a Brotherhood reject… The kid shows his ignorance as clear as day, it's not surprising that he's been regulated to the shadows of men greater than him…"
Silver taps his ashes into its tray before resting it. Silver laces his fingers, cracking them.
"There was a simple escape route mapped out that allows a cruiserweight to break into that next level… Vayden may be the longest reigning Cruiserweight champion, but he has proven time and time again that he's inferior to the likes of QDT, with whom he's been trying to emulate as he looks to break out. Walter squashed him like a fly recently and my client watched the so called 'tapes' very intently… That look of defeat and realization, that he's never going to step out of the shadows. He has carried his title with pride, sure, but who has he defended his title against that truly brings with them a legacy built like my client's? He has destroyed men greater than this Derrick Vayden kid, who's so wet behind the ears that he actually believes this match is about him."
Silver cracks a slight smirk.
"With sudden influx in the cruiserweight division, why do you think Kabukii was the one that was booked against Vayden first? He's not a masked hero like Vulcan, he's not that half wit Flop, or VHS who's too busy claiming he's going to SHOW everyone he belongs… Vayden is the king of the dipshits and he hasn't stood across from anyone who actually KNOWS they can defeat him. That's how Vayden has proven longevity in his little title reign and has stayed relevant. It's not his showing outside of his division, no matter how much he tries to claim it proved his mettle…"
Silver pours a silver decanter of brandy into a crystal glass.
"Vayden actually stood across from Walter and before the match he beat on his chest declaring he was an actual factor in AW winning The Civil War match against UCI… As memory serves me correctly, young Vayden was eliminated by a simple head scissors by my former client, Kevin Bishop… Vayden has proven time and time again that he lives in a Neverland state of mind when it comes to his 'historical' run in AW. Take his title away and he's just another child pretending that he belongs in the deep end of the pool… But my client and I see you Vayden, we see you doggy paddling with your chin barely above water every time you attempt to step out of your 'comfort' zone. Every week for your entire career you have spinned line after line, attempting to paint this picture of a man who's greater than what you truly are… Your normal track record of failing to step to the next level and then returning to victory in your own lane, is unfortunately going to be wrecked. For you this week, luck will not be on your side, because your next opponent since being squashed by Walter is The Yokai of Japan! And once that mist settles… You'll be just another…"
The camera pans to Kabukii who spits a green mist into the camera, allowing just one word to be spoken with mist dripping down the screen.
"Baka…"
