The World According To Me
Part I

[ The scene opens up inside of the arena where HWO Takedown will take place next Tuesday night. Sitting down at ringside is Jonny Hemp, going through some papers. You hear a muffled voice nearby as he speaks to the camera. ]


Mystery Man:
Welcome to the HWO Arena and the very first installment of The World According To Me. Now many of you are probably wondering who "me" is. And I don't blame you. You see, I'm the 'Mystery Opponent' that Congrel has unfortunately drawn in the first round of the HWO Championship Tournament. I say unfortunate because it is unfortunate for him. Unfortunate he has to face someone the likes of me. Unfortunate that he must not know his opponent's name or see his face before it is time to get into that HWO ring. Very unfortunate indeed...
*laughs*....for him...now, come with me as I walk down with this very special HWO camera to capture the genius behind this HWO Championship Tournament, Mr. Jonny Hemp himself....


[ The camera starts down a long flight of stairs leading to the arena's floor. The Mystery Man holding the camera is panning the arena now and picking up all sorts of interesting things...banners hanging from the rafters marked HWO and not bWo....a couple kids up in the cheap seats smoking pot and laughing it up....even the custodial staff is wearing HWO t-shirts now. Finally you reach the bottom of the stairs and start walking towards Jonny. He sees you coming and stands up. ]


Jonny Hemp:
Hey hey, there's my champion now....Mr. Mystery Man himself....what a gas it'll be when Congrel finds out who you are...he'll literally shit in his tights....


Mystery Man:
I have no doubt about that, Jonny. But even if he did know the train that was comin' down the tracks, out of control towards him, he couldn't stop it. He couldn't do anything at all, he'd be completely powerless. But, I'm starting this video documentary series on this tournament called The World According To Me...whadya think?


Jonny Hemp:
Brilliant idea, MM. Now I'll have this whole week captured on video footage, so that we'll always remember who the very first HWO Champion was....


Mystery Man:
And to have a champion, you must have challengers...let's take a quick look at this tournament and my competition...first off we got Supa Fly Mark Linx....now not much can be said about this chump. He lives and breaths to destroy anyone associated with Mafia, Inc...well, I guess you have to have a goal in life, eh Jonny?
*laughs*


Jonny Hemp:
If you can actually call that a goal...


Mystery Man:
And Linx is facing off against this Lightning guy...now Jonny, I have to ask...Lightning? He's even a bigger mystery than me!
*laughs*


Jonny Hemp:
Call it a gimme first rounder...I mean, think about it. Lightning never strikes twice....


[ Both men crack up laughing, the camera wobbling while the Mystery Man holds it steady. ]


Mystery Man:
Oh man...you're gonna make me drop this camera...and you paid for it! Ok, now we come to this new guy....some guy who goes by the name Badoo Adobe...no wait, Babar Adobo....wait, that's not right either....


Jonny Hemp:
It's Badoo Adoba....the South African Killer...or something....


Mystery Man:
Well, whoever he is, he hasn't proven anything to me yet....but he does show a lot of promise....I could be facing him in the finals....then we got this wannabe guy Eli Flair...now, last time I looked, Ric Flair didn't have any illegimate sons off using his name to get famous, so what's up with this guy?


Jonny Hemp:
Hey, I needed 8 guys, and the bWo was short on talent, so he has to do....


Mystery Man:
Ok then....let's move on....Hellfyre....and Tombstone....another couple of guys that have absolutely no chance....think about this, have you even seen them come to work in the last month and a half? Because I sure haven't....so they just beat on each other in round one, making it easy for me in round 2....and then we come to my opponent....Congrel....this guy is as big a mystery to me as I am to him....


Jonny Hemp:
He's nothing, don't even sweat this guy....


Mystery Man:
Well, I don't wanna take him too lightly, I mean....I know what my chances are of winning this thing when you take a look at the opponents one by one, but even I slip up from time to time....I'm not perfect....wait, what the hell am I saying, Jonny? I AM Perfect!
*laughs* I am the most conditioned, most well-trained, most well-balanced athlete in bWo history, and this HWO Championship will be around my waist and come Tuesday night....everyone, including this loser Congrel, will know EXACTLY who the fuck I am. And when my hand is raised on Tuesday night as the HWO Champion, just as I have predicted, the world will understand why I am who I say I am....and for now, that's it for The World According To Me....stay tuned now for re-runs of Congrel's interviews....bed time for the audience, eh Jonny? *laughs*


Jonny Hemp:
Right on, man...let's get something to eat, I've got the munchies...


Mystery Man:
Big surprise there....
*laughs*


[ The two men laughs as the camera gets switched off. The scene fades out. ]
