The live broadcast of SNK comes back from a commercial break, and Mr Stryker is standing in the middle of the ring. He has a microphone, and is staring straight down the barrel of a camera positioned in the ring with him.
Mr Stryker- Ladies and gentlemen, I have a motto in life, and in pro wrestling. It's OMR. One More Round. I believe that despite everything that happens in life, and in the ring, that there will always be another dance. And that is mostly true. However, there comes a time when it no longer applies. Death, and retirement.
There comes a time, when an individual must look inside themselves and ask themselves if they have One More Round left in them. This Sunday, I did just that. I looked deep inside myself, and wondered if this is all worth it. I had just come up short in a ladder match, due to a prior injury restraining me. That is the truth, no bs.
And I came to the conclusion that it was. It was worth it, because I was nurturing the next generation of pro wrestlers. Like David Davidson. Soomeone who has the same passion for the business that I did, and still do. But that passion is starting to dissappear. Because it's times like I've endured over the last week that make it go away.
Ladies and gentlemen, I respect you all for loving pro wrestling like I do. But there is a truth that is often not told. This business is nothing but a lie. You all know this business is a work. In this business, it doesn't matter how it's booked in the ring, when you get backstage, you can't win. I learnt this during my years in WCW, as I blossomed.
And that has come back in the last week. I have realised that the lie that is this business is even worse in ICW. In this stupid company, you can't win. When you've got people in a company like Evan, Morzan, Mr Ace, Cage, Darnez, TPK and others, you can't win!!!
So all you can do is sit there, and watch your career go down the drain. That is what faces the young talent, the real talent of ICW, like Chris Carlington, The Killer, Exterminator, Santiago, Dakon and David Davidson! These poor SOBs have no options, no escape routes, nothing.
But, despite all that, I was gonna stick it out. I mean, I'm a former WCW World Champion. Nothing should get the better of me here in ICW. But it has now. There was one final straw that broke the damn camel's back.
Taylor Rose. Taylor effing Rose. To give the SNK GM position to this piece of you know what, is a crime. She has done nothing in this business compared to me, but these stupid SOBs that control ICW think she should run the flagship show of ICW!!! Many of you may not know this, but I helped train wrestlers from overseas when they first came to the states. One of those was my now great friend, LG Millard!
LG Millard was on a sabbatical. He was coming back this week, and he was told he was going to receive a job as an SNK official. He was told it could be anything from an agent, to GM. But you know what, he came here tonight, and guess what? They overlook a 6 time World Champion, and give it to some woman who has no damn experience. LG, a former GM in other feds, gets nothing at all! ICW broke their promise to him. And he is now waiting in the back for me to go back to the hotel with him. LG, come out here!
Millard comes through the curtain, and walks briskly to the ring, with no music or titantron video. He enters the ring, and stands next to Stryker.
Mr Stryker- LG, I want you to be here when I say this. Ladies and gentlemen, right now, you are not watching pro wrestling. This is truth, not a lie. Right now, there are no heels or babyfaces. Neither of us are playing characters. This is 100% real.
I am announcing to you, that as of now I, real name James Stevens, am retiring from pro wrestling forever.
And I have one final message.
FUCK ICW!!!!!
SNK quickly cuts to black, having no idea that Stryker was going to swear. The TV station immediately begin to recieve complaints, as Stryker and Millard leave the arena, and for Stryker,ICW, for good.
OOC: The names I mentioned were just the first people I could remember, so don't take it personally.
