Ice Rock's little rant about Scruffy Dog's betrayal and insolence was over with about 24 hours ago, and since then, the AWO arena has been rather lifeless. Being in Vegas though, and with all the heat being built up between Scruffy Dog and Ice Rock for the main event, the betting is free flowing between all the punters in the AWO audience. Bets for the Knight V Maverick match up have slowed dramatically being that neither man has been seen for weeks, and there isn't a single person willing to bet on Spaz at exactly $1 odds, let alone against him. Falling Away From Me by KoRn hits and blasts through the ruckus of the crowd, as Scruffy Dog makes his entrance and enters the ring, microphone in hand.
Scruffy Dog: "Ice Rock, I've tried not to make things personal. I have. Okay, I may have slipped up in my last promo but hell, you can't say you didn't ask for it. I mean, you're still trying to take credit for everything I've done. I can't say I blame you... as you can't exactly take credit for anything you've done... but come on man, you can't expect me to allow it. You can't allow me to just sit back and nod while you try to take some of the glory for my many, many amazing achievements. I have to set the record straight. I have to tell the world what it is exactly that you guys taught me. Or to be more specific, what you didn't. Because let's be honest Ice Rock, I learnt absolutely nothing from you guys. Unless you count learning what NOT to do by watching you and your sub-par crew."
The crowd boos and a small 'cry wolf' chant begins, but dies out quickly.
Scruffy Dog: "How can anyone think that Ice Rock taught me anything? I mean, what did he teach me? Was it about winning? Well I can't see how because I don't think I've ever even witnessed Ice Rock win a match in the last five years. And politics? He claims he taught me about politics? Hello Ice Rock... who do you think you're fooling? Where exactly have politics ever gotten you? You've destroyed some people's cars, burnt down some people's bars, and raised a lot of hell over the years, but as far as the AWO/NMW is concerned, the only World Title shot you ever got was the one handed to you by me, as a friend, as your retirement present. Politics? You don't know the first thing about getting what you want around here. You've always been a bottom-feeder, struggling to survive and pretending that you don't care because you HAVE to tell yourself that or you'll realise that you never really got anything you actually wanted."
Scruffy Dog paces back and forth in the thing.
Scruffy Dog: "I mean look at you Ice Rock. You're an AWO wrestler for God's sake. You're out there partying, drinking and getting high, and what do you have to show for it? Where are the championships? Where are there matches that you'll be remembered for over your long career? You say I've learnt everything from you... but if that was true, then I sure as hell wouldn't be a two time AWO World Champion. I'd be out there with you, without a care in the world, not giving a damn about my legacy or what history thinks of me. I'd be out there on drugs and off my face not caring that my past was a complete affront to wrestlers everywhere, who actually give a damn about this sport. If I were anything like you Ice Rock, I would have to be half the man I am today, with absolutely none of the heart and determination."
The crowd lets out a resounding boo. Scruffy Dog waves his hand at them, dismissing them.
Scruffy Dog: "Oh sure, boo. But where is Ice Rock? He's out driving around. He's out training somewhere. And more often than not, he's out at clubs trying to get laid and paying no attention whatsoever to the fans! And why isn't he here in the arena right now? Does he not give a damn about you fans or is he just plain scared of me? So go on, boo me. Right now, I don't care because there's more at stake. I owe it to wrestlers everywhere to see that a low-life, uncaring bastard of a man like Ice Rock never wins the AWO World Championship. I owe it to the AWO, and to the fans. And that's all I care about right now."
Scruffy Dog stops pacing and points to the entranceway, as if an invisible Ice Rock is standing there.
Scruffy Dog: "Ice Rock, you want to say I learnt everything I know from you? Well fine. But come Resolution, you're going to teach you're final lesson. How to lose, yet again, 101."
Scruffy Dog pauses for a moment, lowering his hand, before speaking again, slowly and clearly.
Scruffy Dog: "School's out."
'Falling Away From Me' hits again and Scruffy Dog makes his way out of the ring once more with a mixed reaction from the crowd.
