Massacre #4 was a special night for Benny Stevens – not only he ended up with a victory, but he also managed to vanquish no one other than a past rival: Sinister Minister. The momentum has now shifted to his side; nevertheless, the consistent hard-work must continue. The scene fades in a simple yet well decorated room. Several paintings can be seen hanging on the walls – from old-school art to contemporary.
Benny Stevens sits on an Ebony bench which is located at the center of the room. He appears to be bored as he stares at a painting in front of him.
“I was bored as fuck so I decided to check out this art gallery. We’re all in-ring troublemakers but even fighters need to exercise their creativity and intelligence, right?”
Benny chuckles at that statement.
“Now I know I’m not that smart… But at least I’m trying. See, I try to look outta my own world unlike some dipshits signed to our beloved company. I ain’t gonna beat around the bush – Amis Shelton, you fucking disgust me. But y’know what? I don’t even hate you. As a matter of fact, I feel sorry for you. I mean, remember when you came up in AWE acting as if you were the best that would ever step into our ring? Boy that backfired real quick! See, you joined us expecting to be treated as elite – and to a certain point, some people did treat you as elite.
Curse all these staff members praising you backstage. Your work ethic is poor and you’ve never deserved to be called one of the best in AWE – 'once in a lifetime', right? You are once in a lifetime. A motherfuckin’ one hit wonder. Well, allow me to explain y’all why I’m recording a wrestling video in an art gallery!”
Benny gets up and stands in front of a painting – it’s an abstract drawing of the Titanic.
“I had to record this as soon as I saw this painting, Amis… The Titanic! This woman was tryna explain me the meaning of the painting but I wasn’t having any of that. I give my own meaning to a goddamn painting. Honestly? The meaning of the painting doesn’t even matter. What matters is the fact that you, Amis Shelton, are the Titanic of the AWE. For your information, Titanic was derived from Greek mythology and it means gigantic. So it’s accurate, right? The Titanic built up a hype, and so did you as soon as you signed with AWE.
The individual running the AWE Twitter account blew his load prematurely. The backstage workers were all whispering your name and talking about how smart Francis or whoever signed yo ass is. The fans wanted to see you win so badly, Amis. They were chanting your name and, hell, even a fangirl of a wrestler was cheering for you! Now that’s cute, isn’t it?
Turns out you had one hell of a reality check… You came in here acting as if you were gigantic, yet a tough bump sent you right back to the bottom. Get it? Titanic? Bottom? Umm… Too soon?”
Benny laughs. He points at the painting.
“You’re Titanic.”
He then points at himself before carrying on with his monologue.
“Wanna y’know who I am? I’m the motherfuckin’ iceberg. I’ll tell you the cold truth and you’ll sink for once and for all. You had all the hype and you ruined it, Amis… Of course, go ahead and brag about the fact that you eliminated me from the rumble. Go ahead and act as if that was important even though you lost the whole thing. See? That’s your fuckin’ mistake.
You settle for less.
You do aim for the higher prize but you don’t go after it ‘cause you’re a PUSSY.
No wonder why you chose Resilience as your preferred division. I mean, you had to start from the bottom, right? No wonder you’re the FUTURE Stars of Wrestling Champion. You have to start somewhere, riiiiiight? Oh, lets talk about FSW for a moment – a federation that our great Amis Shelton works for as well. Did you guys know that FSW is a developmental roster? The eleven-year one-of-a-kind is wrestling rookies in FSW! Amis, I kinda wish I was like you, y’know? It’d be way less stressful… I mean, settling for less. I’m here in AWE ‘cause I wanna fight the best ever, the veterans. I wanna improve my craft by trial of HELL AND CHAOS. Every show I have to deal with a juggernaut, and this time, I’ll have to deal with Drew Stevenson.
And I love that shit.
I live to DARE, Amis.
I could’ve been like you. Could’ve signed with a developmental small-time ish and wrestled rookies. Work on my craft and have the coach sugar coating shit. But I always go for the toughest decision… AWE is my home, and unlike you, I ain’t planning to leave whenever stuff ain’t go like I planned. I know people like you, Amis. AWE is nothing but a side bitch to you. AWE is just a place for you to pull your Napoleon Complex acts because that shit ain’t working in EWC. Of course not, why the fuck would they acknowledge a DEVELOPMENTAL rookie?”
Benny shakes his head.
“Right here, you’re just like everybody else… You’re just like me. And that shit annoys you doesn’t it? You were expecting people to bow to you like the rookies do, but this is a whole new world for you, Amis. Right here, you’re just the sunken ship being surrounded by hungry sharks. You don’t even deserve to claim the AWE name, asshole. That’s why I’m going to beat you. I need to end this chapter for once and for all. I’ll prove you that your BFW legacy is… Indeed, DEAD. That’s all you have, man. I really feel sorry for you.
Me? I have nothing! And I’m real about it.
I am nothing.
So this will be an easy fight, right?”
Benny laughs as the scene fades.
