We see nothing at the beginning. Not a chair, not a window, not a drape or a table, not even a person. Just sound. A darkness, black screen...and sound. Familiar sound. Very familiar. A voice to which all BQWA fans by now respond, almost instinctively.

Colossus: "Everyone knows I show up most when the stakes are highest. At Immortals VI, I unified two belts together. At the most hardcore pay per view of the year, I made Phenetic bleed so much they coulda charged me with half a dozen felonies. Bobby Mitchell lost. Phenetic lost. And when Jason Storm ran his mouth about me and the inimitable Tara Shannon...he lost. It's a pattern. You test me, I test you better. You push me, I push you harder. You hurt me, I come back and put you flat on your ass."

The darkness fades toward light a bit, and the outline of a sturdy wooden chair appears. Colossus' form begins to show, but just barely.

"I don't expect to be handed anything. Jason bitched about not being given a spot in the Rumble. Typical thought-process these days. What am I OWED? Not, what have I EARNED? I'm willing to do all the things that are cliche in this business to rise to the top--the whole blood, sweat, and tears routine? Yeah. It's not new. It's not even clever. But it's sure as shit still effective. Call me all rhetoric, call me a walking cliche, whatever best sums up your feelings about me. I can't change your mind if you've already made it up."

"But keep in the back of your brain, and this goes for everyone in the BQWA--yeah, it's that now, isn't it...isn't it, you EWA fuck-ups?--keep this in the back of your brain....when the stakes are highest, I'm at my best. And at the Rumble, the prize is very simple. Last person standing, Heavyweight Title shot at Immortals VII."

"I'll break it down again, in case someone like Gogz is listening. Nice and slow, one more time."

The room fills with some more light, and Colossus' frame is clearly visible now, along with the uncomfortable wooden chair on which he leans forward.

"Immortals VII. Championship of the World. Rumble Winner vs. Champion."

"I don't give a rat's ass who the Champion is come Immortals. All I can do is handle my end of the bargain. And I will. I've been told the fans love me because I epitomize the 'babyface' kind of wrestler that's always been appreciated. That's nice. But let's be crystal, crystal clear, ladies and gentlemen. Come Rumble-time, I will run down everyone in my path. Whether it's that Judas, Johnny Karisma himself, who damn near cost me my job in the elimination match...."

A quick zoom-in to the big man's upper body shows a barely-concealed snarl.

"Or the legendary DXKid. Or even Tara Shannon, God love her. Or eXponent. Or that chickenshit Gogz, or his little amoral butt-buddy, Kid Disturbed."

"Or Aaron Nexus......ohhhh, wait...."

Colossus rolls his eyes and continues.

"Fuckin' clown..."

"Phenetic, Buzz Krueger, the Authority, whoever in the fuck Dolly has in the locker room...set 'em up, and I will knock 'em down. It's what I was born to do, it's what I trained in the Dungeon to do, it's what I've--and let's be honest here--put in front of my relationship with Lucy for a while now..."

The camera pans to Colossus' hand, where a wedding ring occupies his ring finger.

"Ohhhhh, that? Yeah. I forgot to mention. I got married. Been engaged, as you know, for about a year...and we decided it was the right time to do it. Rented a tux and everything, the whole nine yards. It was before the pay-per view. Small little Catholic church outside the city. Just family and a few friends of ours."

Colossus pauses for a moment, and smiles. Then, he answers a question that has not been asked, for there is no one around to ask it...

"What's that, Plus? Why didn't I have it on Meltdown? Ohhh, I'm glad you asked. I just figured that, you know, being a wedding and all...that it was a spiritual ceremony committing two people to each other, through good times and bad, for the rest of their natural lives. As opposed to, let's say, hypothetically of course, a shameless attempt to grab ratings on national TV."

Silence is deafening. Colossus glares at the camera, and speaks his last words very, very softly.

"I know how good you are. But you're not unbeatable. And come the Rumble, I will cut through all the mystique. You're a hero, Plus, a legend, and deservedly so. But no hero's perfect. Don't turn into a soap opera on me, huh...?"

Colossus contorts his face into an expression that conveys some amount of disappointment. Babyface disappointed in another babyface? The top title in the business can make things go a little topsy-turvy...

Fade out.

yea but with all the shit you've been through though, with Kaylee kidnapped, your partner and best friend fucked out of the company, having to deal with Jonathon Night. I mean Colossus has a heart and just can't seem to make your life any more hurtful haha
