Thoughts(Sentoryu)

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Divide plays over the PA as Manor makes his way out to the ring, this time without the Sentoryu mask to a mixed reaction. Posing on the stage and then trying to hype up the crowd as he makes his way to the ring, smirking the entire time. Once he gets in the ring he's handed a mic and immediately brings it to his mouth.

An interesting night we had last night. The fist pump guru himself had some choice words for me in regards to our favorite masked man. He said something along the lines of wishing he could spare Sentoryu the blood, sweat, and tears of ridding IW of my carcass. A slight mixed reaction to this, though more cheers than boos.

News flash for anyone who doesn't know. I leave when I choose to, not when someone else tells me I have to. Many have tired to rid company x of me, and I just keep chugging along like the little engine that could. For those who don't know, to those who dislike me, being a cockroach is kinda what I do. I upset people and am hard to kill.

To the "wrestlers" I infect this sport and pollute it with "entertainment". I disrespect traditions and soil it with greed instead of nurturing it with passion. I am everything that is wrong with the business today. I'm the chef at a restaurant who spits in your food without knowing.

A smaller reaction this time as most people are unsure how to react since Manor seemed to just ramble on. But anyways, this is our last night before the PPV, I'd like for Sentoryu himself to come out to the ring... A pause from Manor as the smirk somehow widens. ...if he's done changing his grandpappy's diaper that is. Immediately, the boos start as no one liked that last shot by Manor as he just smiles and waits for Sentoryu.

[Sentoryu]

The lights in the dome fade. A hush comes over the crowd. Suddenly the searchlight snaps on ,falling onto the upper concourse. Standing in the bright light is Sentoryu. He raises his hand and points down at Manor.

Manor, you stand in that ring, talking about infecting this sport with entertainment. When have you ever been entertaining? I have had a slight chuckle but was i truly entertained by the words you mutter? Have these fans actually been entertained? Your words have not done it for me at least. You talk about your words bothering me. Have they? The answer is no not in the least.

You see I have trained all my life for just these moments. I was born into this business. My maternal family have always been in this sport. Sure they have been old school and traditional. Entertainment came from the action in the ring not the words that pass between the competitors outside the squared circle. You back in the day had a meteoric rise to the top. You ahve held the title on three occasions. This is where we are seen in the eyes of the fans and the company as one and the same. I too have had a meteoric rise from obscurity, to the pinnacle of this sport, but I have also had a crashing descent from the top to the bottom. I have crawlled rung by rung back up the ladder. I now cling to the last rung several times this season only to be just a step short, a step to slow. Next week you and I will stand in that ring we will battle I will prove I am the more skilled of the two. I will prove that I am not what you say I am. I will show you I am a man with honor. I have always have been and I will always be. You are a man that likes to needle people with words. You can needle all you want your words are meaningless to me. I know who I am. The fans Know I am what I say I am. I am a man of character, of passion, and strength. Personally I really have great respect for what you have done ,you may want to come out here and try to get into my head with words but sadly that will be a waste of time and energy. I have not taken one word you have spoke and let it get to me. Words are just that words. I have heard all of this for a very long time. Say what you will my man. You feel you have to down grade someone to come off as the man to beat. So be it. Do what thou wilt. You will do what you must. I will do what I do.....adapt, improvise, and overcome.....That is what I will do.... What I always do. Win, lose or Draw. I fight to win. I live to fight. Come next week you will see what I can do.


Sentoryu begins to descend though the fans. As he moves the fans part making way for him to pass,as though they were made of water.Sentoryu flows though the crowd, touching those that reach out for him. The energy he felt as he moves though them moves him within. Jumping up onto the barrier he just stands there looking around at the sea of fans chanting for him.

These people are looking forward to our battle, I do not know what next week will hold but I would like the company and this new owner to understand that tonight I have heard they are looking for someone to step up and make Starr defend his Gladiator title. You have come back to this company to block me from breaking the tie we have in reigns. If she wants the title defended then I would like to put it out there that maybe Starr vs Manor vs Sentoryu would be a way to kick off the way the new regime. I can not see any better way then that. A three way dance for the Top title in this sport.

Jumping down from the barrier landing then springing into the ring through the middle ropes. He lands rolls and then stands right in front of Manor. Standing in front of Manor staring him down. Thinking to himself would Starr respond to this challenge? Would the company allow this? This is what Manor came back for. To again be the man. To hold the title. To again stand with the twelve pounds of gold hanging around his waist.
