Opportunity

Inside of a darkened room, we are able to make out the figure of The Undertaker. He stares at the camera for an extended period, his piercing eyes paintint a portrait of sheer evil. He then begins to speak.
Undertaker: "Opportunity knocks only once...and when it does, one must seize it by the throat and take it down to the very depths of Hell. For no second chances are ever granted....and never shall they be granted. That was displayed at Rampage.
"Wrath, you were given the opportunity to defeat The Phenom of the wrestling industry. You claimed that you idolized me, boy. So at Rampage..I looked into your eyes, and do you know what I saw?
"I saw nothing.
"You told me, Wrath, that I was nothing to you. But when the time arrived for you to face the Reaper...you didn't even have a soul to offer. You were devoid of everything, Wrath. I must admit to you, I was taken aback by this. Never have a faced a man who sold his soul to a fool. But you did just that when you teamed with Vader.
"I took your best, boy and it wasn't good enough. After it was all said and done...you couldn't beat me. And do you know why?
"Because no one, no matter how powerful they may claim to be, can stand against the unstoppable forces of evil. You learned the lesson that I have taught to many others, and it is a lesson you will never forget.
"And then...we have Kidman.
"You weak, pathetic fool. You too had an opportunity at Rampage. You had the opportunity to prove that you didn't need The Undertaker. You had the opportunity to prove that you were better than The Undertaker. And what happened to you? Mortis embarassed you, Billy. So just what the hell are you going to do now, boy? Challenge me? No...you aren't that stupid. I'll tell you what you're going to do.
"You're going to amount to nothing, and in a few months...you'll come back on your hands and knees to The Lord of Darkness. And do you know what I'm going to do to you then?
"I'm going to make a river of your blood...and a hill of your bones. I shall never take you back, Billy. You aren't worth my time.
"And lastly...and to be honest, I'm surprised I'm mentioning this infidel at all...is The Big Show.
"Opportunity, Wight. Opportunity was presented before you.....and you left it all for a puppet? That title I gave to you at Rampage can be taken away just as easily. But Wight....that title really doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I had very low expectations for you. You are the single greatest disappointment in wrestling history....but I thought that maybe if you had the right guidance...you would be able to be something.
"Instead, you've turned your back on it. Well boy, that's your problem. And believe me, Wight...when I say it is your problem...I emphasize the word problem. My eyes never forget, you see. What you did will not go unpunished.
"Remember that. I could strike at any time. With a wave of my hand, Show..I could take you down a Highway to Hell, and leave your broken body at the end of it....
