You will know soon enough

Gray. All you can see is gray. Soon, you can see some texture. It’s a cold gray wall. In front of that wall are Bill Ding, and his manager Luxurious Lynne. Bill Begins to speak.
Bill Ding: Since I debuted here, I’ve noticed that most of the FTR locker room is assholes. People don’t want to give a new guy a chance. You also have me confused with the people backing me. That much doesn’t matter. What matters is that I have a chance to achieve greatness after only my second FTR match. What scares me, is I have to do it by going through Mortis.
Lynne: Yeah, Mortis is just this big ole’ meanie and he’s going to get his!
Ding: Mortis, I don’t care how you feel about me. You are allowed to have your opinion. You want to call me fat? Go ahead. I am. You want to say I have no skills, than do it. I haven’t been tested yet. Mortis, I know you. I’ve watched you many times. You are an incredible wrestler. I’ve seen you put guys away that most people said you couldn’t beat. So, yeah, I know what I’m in for. Now Mortis, let me clue you in to what you are in for.
Lynne: It’s bad. Soooooooo bad.
Ding: If I remember you called me, “Some sorry piece of indy fed SHIT.” Indy fed shit? The last time I checked, anyone worth respecting did his time in the indies. Are you trying to say you are better than me? Are you Mortis? Are you saying the indies aren’t worth your time? Do you think that your contract puts you above my level? News flash Mortis, I got signed just like you did. I went to school just like you did. I busted my ass on the indy circuit, just like YOU did, and I got an FTR contract just like you did. The only difference is it didn’t take me 10 years to do it like it did you. I got mine after 2. See I have to take you out now. You spit on MY business. You think you are better than the product I’m a part of. Oh, and I know about your pit fighting? I’m no dummy. I did my research, but guess what? I’ve shot with some of the best local talent in the NY area. So yeah, I might not have made a living like you kicking teeth down people’s throats, but damn it I’m no novice.
Lynne: Ok, this is my favorite part!
Ding: Now, Mr. Ego. You think you are better than me? You think you are better than all the territory guys who made this business you seem to take for granted? Piper has a legacy, you don’t. Hogan has a legacy, you, do not. Raven, Nash, Volkov, and gods gift to wrestling Ric Flair ALL have established a legacy in this business. What do you have? A skull head jester stick. I tell you this much Mortis. When I hang my boots up after 20 years or so, I will have a legacy, and you still won’t. I know this much. I will beat you for that title. I almost have to beat you for it. I have a lot to prove to a lot of people. Yu wanted to make it no interference; I say it’s ok by me. I don’t want anyone coming down. I want this on my own. In fact, I’m leaving Lynne in the back for this one.
Lynne: Yeah…HEY!!!!
Ding: It’s going to be one on one, Bill Ding vs Mortis. US title on the line. This will be a match to remember Mortis. You see, I have respect for you. I knew who you were all the time, that’s why I chose you. Now, I’ll make you respect me.
