Camera pans down a dark alley. It’s late at night car horns can still be heard, along with what sounds like police sirens. A dark figure is seen approaching slowly. The figure grabs his hand on a nearby chain fence as he is seen almost like he’s hanging off of it. The camera steps in closer to reveal a man. It’s Cappie.

You know I was never afraid of the boogeyman. I mean why be afraid of a man hiding in your closet? See I grew up here. The Queen City. Cincinnati Ohio. I didn’t grow up in the nice part of town no I grew up right here in Over The Rhine. Once the most dangerous city in the US. You see JJ I didn’t have to fear the boogeyman because there was a worst threat waiting on every street corner. I was afraid JJ of looking at someone the wrong way because I didn’t want to get jumped walking to school. Then something happened when I was 13? You know what that was JJ? I learned to stand up for myself and I started fighting back. Did I get my ass kicked? Yeah but I never stayed down.

Cappie hits the fence as he’s clearly agitated You wanna tell me we’re going to figure out who was the better member in the Advantage? Trust me I’ve been wanting this match since that Smackdown you had the nerve to slap me in the face. The only reason JJ and I mean the only reason I didn’t kick your ass sooner was because Throdis begged me not to retaliate. Yeah I’ll be the first to admit I put my body on the line for you. Extreme rules we won because of me. I did exactly what you told me because I was looking out for The Advantage.

There’s one thing now that’s different tho. The Advantage is over. And uh last time I checked. Cappie waves his hand over his head There’s no strings attached to me! So JJ come Saturday you wanna talk about putting me down and cementing your legacy? I don’t think so...

Cappie shakes his head as he looks down to the hardcore title that’s down around his waist You can say what ever you want about me JJ. You wanna say that I got lucky at Great Balls of Fire? That’s fine. You wanna say that I got lucky and I’m only a world champion because of Throdis giving me a handout? That’s fine because come Saturday JJ the time for excuses is over! Saturday there’s no more reasons for you to duck me. The time for talk will be over and it’ll be you and me one on one.

Make no mistake about this JJ I have nothing but respect for you. You’re a man of many accomplishments. That’s why you want this. No man has been able to claim every title in this company yet. Except for you and JJ I want you to know I honestly think you’ll be able to do that. It just won’t happen with you beating me. Come Saturday it’s time for me to step up and show the world that I’m one of the very best in this company. So bring Freddy Kruger bring Michael Meyers, bring Jason Voorhees hell if you really wanna scare me? Bring my Junior math teacher Mrs. Holt. The point is bring them all because you’re going to need all the help you can get. There is no scenario where you walk out as Hardcore champion.

Cappie takes the belt off as he holds it up and puts it over his shoulder and turning around to walk off camera
