The U.S. Champion Speaks
Posted by: Mortis on 05/20/2003 at 18:45
The lights in the arena dim to green, and "The End is the Beginning is the End" by The Smashing Pumpkins begins to play over the PA. Mortis emerges from the curtains with the FTR U.S. Title on his shoulder. He makes his way down to the ring, leaps up on the top rope, and holds his belt over his head. He then jumps back down and takes a microphone. His music dies down, and he begins to speak.
Mortis: "Lemme give you people a little history lesson.
It wasn't too long ago that Billy Kidman had an attack of conscience, and decided that he was gonna leave The Fatal Army behind. So I decided to take care of him..and take care of him I did when I took the United States title off of him. But Kidman wanted a rematch.....so at Genesis..he got one. I'd be willing to bet that our match was one of the most memorable matches on the card...and Billy Kidman gave me everything he had....but in the end...it wasn't enough. In the end, I came out on top.
Unfortunately, that same night..Jeff Jarrett dresses up as The Chosen One again and all of sudden thinks he is The Undertaker. All of a sudden, this guy is suddenly a big deal again. He went from hosting some kinda bullshit kid's show to deciding that he is gonna be the second coming of Jesus Christ or something. He's gonna deliver the FTR from evil?
GIMME A FUCKING BREAK!
Jarrett picks up that little punk Billy Kidman and forms what....The Chosen Alliance? These two guys picked the Army apart last week..and yeah...I respect that. The Undertaker respects that. We're not going to deny that we were defeated......but for every action.............there is a reaction.
And Jeff Jarrett.....you're looking at the reaction.
Now The Undertaker already said that he was going to CONFRONT you at Rampage......notice how he said confront, though. I'm not going to confront you, Jarrett. I'm going to WRESTLE you. Of course, it's going to be nontitle...because to be honest, I'm not gonna put my belt up against you.
You see Jarrett, underneath all of that Chosen One crap....you're still the same guy who made it up wrestling in Nashville for his father. You're still the world class all around wrestler that got shit on by politics in the WWF. I'm not gonna deny it, Jeff...you're great.
But I think that I'm just a TAD bit better than you. At Rampage..I intend to prove that.
And as for you, Big Show........who the hell do you think you are to all of a sudden pop up and ask ME for a title shot? Shouldn't you be busy mourning the loss of your stupid little puppet? I'll tell ya what....
Next week, I'll give you your shot. This week..I've got Jarrett to deal with..and it appears to me that you've got Raven to deal with.
Have a nice fucking day."
With that, Mortis drops the microphone and heads to the back.
