Alright Cage, we're here, and ready when you need us. Let's just get a few things straight before we do business ok? First, I'm not doing this for you, so don't get too eager to gloat about whats about to happen. I'm doing this as a favor for my friend, and to knock those guys down a peg! Second, I don't care what your agenda is, hidden, or public, the moment my brother here is hurt, I'm with him. I didn't bring him into this business to play the political games that would see him hospitalized, or have his career ended prematurely. Third, everything you've heard about the ties between me, and them, forget it. It was a huge spit in my face, the way he's going back on his word, and using the power he now has backing him with MMI, to get ahead. That's not how he taught me, and it's not how you do business anymore. He's gone into business for himself, and thinks he has the wool pulled over the rest of MMI's eyes. So he's mine in the end. You can work him over, attack him, hurt him, whatever, I don't care. But I finish him off, got me.

Now, this here is my brother. He used to compete under a mask, and no, I won't tell you who, or what his name was. Nothing personal, but if things don't work out here for him, at least he has a career to go back to, without the cloud hanging over his head of being a failure. He can put the mask back on, and go back to North Carolina where he was before I pulled him out for this.

The younger brother puts a hand on his older sibling, and pushes past him, to the front to look Cage in the eye.

Hi! Ummm, I've seen a few of your matches, and I really think you've got a good thing going. While I agree with most of what my brother has said, you don't need to worry about me, and neither do you "brother". I can handle myself. You just point me in the direction to go, and I promise you, you won't be disappointed. I've got a lot to learn, and working with you, Avenger, Angel Fyre, Brandon Payne and whoever else is in on this will only help me, and push me harder. I'm looking forward to this, it's my first shot with a premiere wrestling company. I hope it all works out.

He smiles, a sign of his youth and vulnerability. He had no idea that he was about to step into the middle of a battlefield he wasn't ready to enter.

Cage stands there with his arms folded, before nodding at both brothers.

The guy who called in the favor already explained that all to me. I know exactly the terms of this agreement, and I'm cool with them. "He" needs to be taken down a couple pegs though. MMI is a joke, nobody in MMI is relevant anymore but "Him" and Jason Youngblood. Idk why this war is still going on, but I'm in it to win it, and hopefully with you two here evening the playing field, we can. I sent a message to Jason last week, and probably at the PPV is where "He" gets sent one too. At the end, you do what you want with him. Kill him, beat him, dismember him, i don't care, as long as he isn't a threat anymore.

He looks at the younger brother.

This right here you're stepping into? It's a war. You're gonna learn some things. Sharpen your skills. Get to side with some of the greatest wrestlers in the world. Just a note though. Stay with your brother, at all times. MMI is a wolfpack of pussies, they live to hurt people in 1 on 100 situations, but I think you two could take care of them all by yourselves, well not all of them but you catch my drift. Never, be anywhere, alone. I'm not even gonna travel alone anymore, if you saw what I did to Jason last week you'll know why.

At the end of the day, when MMI is all done, and we can finally wrestle without having to worry about MoneyMaker fucking us over with his band of assgrabbers, you'll have done a great service.

Cage smiles and waits for one of them to respond.

[Brent Starr]

War? What is it with you guys referring to everything as war? This is war, that is war, we're in a war, here comes the war. War is nothing but casualties for something you can't earn yourself, so instead you sacrifice a bunch of people to get it instead. I'm tired of hearing about war.

The older brother just shrugged his head, put a hand on his shoulder, and cut him off

Don't worry about war. This is business. He just means that it's going to be one hellacious uphill battle for us here.

Regardless, I don't care who gets in the ring with me, I'm out to put on a show, earn my money, and bank it away for the future. I'm not a lifer, unlike some wrestlers these days. I'm here to make a good chunk of change, find me a girl to start a family with, walk away with no injuries, and settle down with her. If I had my way, I'd be in and out within 5 years.

Cage, I hear ya, but come on, those guys are all that good, right? They won't just steamroll over our alliance here, and cost us our jobs, will they?

[MG Cage]

Steamroll? Nah. I mean, if they could, I wouldn't be here right now. Your job is safe and secure so long as you and your brother here stick together and think before you act. MMI, actually has smart people when you think about it. The whole plan they put together to cost 'Venger his title and to give it to Jason, it was smart. And Jason's manager, even though she may be a bimbo, is pretty smart too, Don't underestimate them, whatever you do.
