Neutral Rules, ABSOLUTELY RULE!

[[The camera opens up with Nas entering the dojo of former champion of the world and wrestle world architect, Jaydayne Pendragon. A setting that for the past few months has been all too familiar to Nas.]]

Jaydayne Pendragon: So you came after all.

Nas: Well I couldn’t turn down a request from my old sensei could I?

Jaydayne Pendragon: No need for all of that, we were practically equals prior to your training in Ultra Instinct.

Nas: Fair enough, fair enough, anyways. What did ya call for?

Jaydayne Pendragon: Him.

[[Jaydayne Pendragon points to a gathering of young students in his dojo.]]

Nas: Uh….excuse me for being so blunt Jaydayne but...which one?

[[Nas scratches the back of his head as all of the students spread apart until one young man is seen way in the back corner of the room staring at the floor.]]

Jaydayne Pendragon: That one.

Nas: Huh...what’s his deal?

???:You mean you don’t remember?...

Nas: Um...no…? Should I?

???: Of course you should, dickhead! I’m the man who will surpass you and make everyone forget you ever existed after all!

Nas: Oh okay, NOW I see why Jaydayne called me in here. You got yourself quite a bold one on your hands here.

Jaydayne Pendragon: That isn’t necessarily why I needed your assistance. You see Nas. This is Nero Cetinich. He was the top of the previous class of young lions. However he’s developed quite the destructive and grim outlook on our industry and the world in general.

Nas: Oh...one of those. I see.

Jaydayne Pendragon: Yes, and in my current state, there’s only so much I can do for him. What Nero really needs is someone who can dedicate individual time to helping him.

Nas: And THAT IS why you called upon me now isn't it?

Jaydayne Pendragon: I figured you’d be up to the task Nas.

Nas: Heh, you know I can’t resist a good challenge Jaydayne.

Jaydayne Pendragon: So it’s a done deal?

Nas: Yeah. Hey Nero! You’ll be following me around from now on. As my Junior.

Nero Darkbringer: First off! It’s Nero Darkbringer to the two of you! Second...I am no one’s “rookie”. I’M MY OWN MAN! I could probably outperform YOU right now if I wanted to!

[[Tensions flare in the dojo as all the other students stand to the side around Jaydayne. Mr. Pendragon himself narrows his eyes, weary of this potential confrontation. Nas simply stands there with a smirk on his face as Nero tenses up in a fighting stance.]]

Nero Darkbringer: WHAT IS THIS! A JOKE TO YOU?!

[[Suddenly Nas bursts out into laughter as Jaydayne regains his calm composure. All of the students look on in confusion as Nero looks absolutely dumbfounded.]]

Nas: Listen kiddo. You’re sticking with me until we turn that frown upside down, got it?

[[Nas grabs a hold of Nero’s arm and leads him out of the dojo. On the way out, Nas and Jaydayne give a salute to one another. One of the newer students peers his head out up to Jaydayne.]]

???: Sensei, what was the meaning of that?

Jaydayne Pendragon: Ah Young Nagisa. It was simply a bet that I’ve placed on the future.

Nagisa Yagata: i see.

Jaydayne Pendragon: Perhaps that could be you in the future young man. But it’ll only happen if you give this training everything you’ve got and take it one hundred percent seriously!

Nagisa Yagata: O-Of course Sensei!

[[Nagisa bows to Jaydayne, and all the rest of the new young boys do as well. The wrestling veteran smirks at this response, this next class seemed quite promising to him. From there the camera fades to black. When the camera picks back up it’s Nas sitting in his office, dressed in a suit, sipping on a cup of coffee. He gently places the cup down before looking towards the camera.]]

Nas: So here we are back in the fold once again. Last time I appeared on Wrestleworld programming, I managed to dispatch one Beauty Melanie in Shogun Rules. So now here we are, and this time I am set to take on another prospect in Wrestle World. This one being Colt Montoya, a young gun with a lot of upside and endless possibilities for how far he can go. That’s what I’m up against this week. And in Neutral Rules, which means it won’t be geared towards anyone’s specialty. Just a straight up showdown of skill and might to see who comes out on top. The golden opportunity to showcase my burning bright will to all of those watching throughout the different divisions of Wrestle World! To put the entire company on notice and let everybody know that I am here to stay and the only place I aspire to be is at the very tip top! Not to say it’ll be as simple as I just stated. Far from it. I don’t expect for it to be a simple task, nor do I desire for it to be. You see, Colt, we haven’t met yet so I’m going to do what others who know of me would call the standard Nas shtick and introduce myself and my philosophy on the world and our industry to you and everyone reading and or listening to this right now.

[[Nas pauses for a bit to take a few sips from his coffee, before placing it down calmly and returning his gaze to the camera.]]

Nas: Now Colt, I’m a man who believes in justice, honor, all the good in this world, that jazz. I don’t think I necessarily need to explain that bit to you. But I’m also a guy with a lust for combat and challenges. I especially love threats inside of that squared circle that can push me to my very limits and beyond. The thrill of the fight gets my blood pumping in a way that nothing else in this existence could possibly compare to. Just thinking about it right now is giving me goosebumps all up and down my arms. You see, I felt the need to do my research on you because I wasn’t quite sure exactly what I was getting myself into. And I am most glad that I did. Colt after our brief exchange on Twitter last week, I had just assumed you’d be some young brash kid who only thought of me as a veteran standing in your way and a stepping stone for you to plant your feet all over. But after doing some digging on some of your time at least here in Wrestle World I can see there’s certainly more to you than meets the eye huh? I can appreciate that quite a bit. Not only are you good in the ring, but there’s actually something to you that I can work with and go off of. You’re not just some simpleton gloating about how good you are and how you’re going to beat everyone that stands before you and blah blah blah. Because you for one have the accomplishments to back them up. Not necessarily belts yet, but I’m sure those will come with time. No I mean for instance your performance at Dreamworld. Defeating the man who was herald as the “King of the World” in Wrestle World is quite the feat for you to boast and brag about. I’ve also heard that your wars with Jay Jones. Incredibly fun back and forth contests to bare witness to. I got so pumped up watching them that it made me wish I could jump through the screen and enter the fray myself!

[[Nas takes a deep breath before his excitable smile shifts into a more serious and determined smirk.]]

Nas: But enough of fantasy triple threat battles. Let’s stay in reality where you and I have got ourselves a neutral rules matchup coming up in a few days. So now here we are. I’ve told you all about me. My aspirations in Wrestleworld? Well seeing as I am a part of the Shogun Championship rung, the goal is self explanatory from here. Make it to the top of that ladder. And obviously that means becoming the next Shogun Champion. Which instantly means that this is in essence also a call out to Jacob Senn, the current Shogun Champion, and anyone else gunning for that championship in the near future. But once I should accomplish that, the next step is to establish myself as the most powerful amongst all of the champions in all of Wrestleworld to where Jaywalker, all the Architects, and every Client whether on Dominion or Book 2 are forced to acknowledge me as the undisputed number one! Whether or not I can actually make it there is to be seen, but that’s the beauty of the journey, the uncertainty! It’s the ultimate test! No one should believe it really could happen until it actually happens. But...let’s be honest here. I am getting rather far ahead of myself. I’ve been the top star of a company before. I’ve been a champion of the world a few times already. I know exactly what kind of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication it takes to reach those heights. Just as much I understand how immense the pressure is once you stand on top of that mountain and everyone looks up at you with envious eyes, with their only mission being to shoot you down from your perch and claim that position as their own! So my main question to you Colt Montoya is...how far are you willing to go! What are you willing to do? What kind of sacrifices are you willing to make for it all? Do you bear the exact same kind of passion and desire for this industry that I do? Does your level of love and respect to these fans and those who paved the way for us to stand here in this moment and time and even make declarations like this...does it equal if not surpass mine?! If they do...then that means your will is greater than mine, and that deep down whether you know it or not….you’ll be able to find some kind of way to defeat me! You will overcome this mountain of a legendary competitor in this industry’s history! And you will further your own legend as you continue to rise straight to the top of our great business known as Professional Wrestling!

[[Nas takes a deep breath and composes himself. You see him slowly lift up the sleeve of his button up collar shirt, where you can see hairs standing up and goosebumps forming all over his arm. A very excited grin etched across his face after showing this to the camera.]]

Nas: Do you all see that right there? Even after an entire decade of cutting promos and far longer of listening to them night in and night out week in and week out. Ten whole years of it up and down the roads all across the globe and I still get that excited about it. That’s love. That’s passion. That’s how much all of this and every single one of you mean to me. I don’t want to be anything less than my very best for all of you. Actually scratch that, I want to be even greater than what my current best is every single time I step into that ring! So Colt Montoya, young prospect, the ball is in your court and your opponent for Chapter 19 has one very simple request for you to fulfill. Do your absolute best out there and push me beyond what my current best is! I desire nothing LESS than that! You do that for me and my respect for you will be undying! May the best man win Colt...because I certainly intend to.

[[Nas smiles to the camera one last time before standing up from his desk to walk towards the camera and cut the feed.]]
