Your champ speaks!

*Hours before Rampage, the camera fades in before a locker room door, upon which we can read "Eddy Guerrero." Standing outside is Michael Cole.*
Cole: It's been quite a while since last Rampage, where Eddy Guerrero defeated Rob Van Dam in a ladder match that most are already predicting to be Match of the Year. In fact, the infamous Sunset Bomb through a table has already become one of the most downloaded video clips in ftrwrestling.org's history!
However, Eddy has been fairly silent since then, and we're hoping to catch him today...
*As if on cue, Eddy emerges from the locker room, already in his black tights with gold and red accents. Michael Cole, surprised to see him so soon, walks closer.*
Cole: Eddy, can I have a word with you for FTR TV?
Eddy: What the hell do I need you for, ese? I think I can speak for my own damn self.
Cole: ...well, I just wanted to know how you're feeling since last Rampage.
Eddy: Since last Rampage? *pause, then bursts out laughing* HAHAHAHAHA! Oh MAN ese, that was great! Last Rampage, and how am I doing?!?! HAHAHA!
Cole: ...I was serious...
Eddy: Look, why don't you go down and ask Rob Van Dam just how the hell HE'S doing, Mikey. I destroyed his ass. I'm not gonna lie, it was tough, it was hard, and I damn near lost. But once he got on the ladder and I was in position, I had clinched it. You know something, I pity him. I really do. I took his belt, and I left him injured at ringside. Poor guy...heh, not really though.
I told him before, and I proved it: I am the better man. End of discussion.
Cole: Moving on, you're teaming with US Champ Mortis against IC Champ Booker T and Extreme Champ Big Show. The winner isn't important, as interference is preferred. Any thoughts?
Eddy: Yeah, if anyone attacks me, they'll be Van Damned. I'm looking to kick Big Slow and Sucka T's collective ass in that ring and prove why I am the FTR World Champion. If anyone wants to bring it too, fine. Just another ass to kick.
Cole: Mortis, your stablemate and partner, also said not to forget who got you that title.
Eddy: I haven't. His name is Eddy Guerrero, and he kicks ass. Mortis and Big Deadly, yeah, I got their back, but they damn well best remember who has the belt. I tell you now, ese, I support them because they are the best...but I could easily make it alone.
Cole: ...harsh words for your friends. So, who do you think will get the shot at Genesis? Most people favor Jeff Jarrett, being just one win away from the Iron Man Challenge.
Eddy: So freaking what? He's a shell of his former self, and I put him there. I don't wanna see him in the main event, but if he is, he won't take this title.
Cole: Why so sure?
Eddy: Well, my lawyer and I have been discussing some things and-hell, you don't need to know, ese. Just trust me: He won't survive me.
Cole: Well, I guess that's all I gotta say.
Eddy: Good, then get the hell away.
Cole: What?
Eddy: You don't listen well, do you?
*Eddy shoves Cole down as he makes his way offscreen. The camera focuses on the fallen Cole, holding his head, as it fades out.*
