Well... It's been a while. Of course I've been skulking around the place, showing up, winning matches, rinsing and repeating but that's not good enough for some people it seems. I saw Toorare kill it with his promo the other day, it's only fitting I say my two cents.

Wrestlemania Backlash, I find myself unsurprisingly fighting for two titles, the Intercontinental title that I made famous, and probably the most elusive title for me in my tenure, the Tag Team championships, which is the focus of today. I once held that gold, but only as a placeholder for 12 days. I've never won it, I've never defended it and that will change Sunday. It will change because of you Steve.

You see Steve, you and Genisis have been doing great things in an overlooked division, you've raised the bar and the prestige of those belts, a team after my own heart after all, I know a thing or two about raising the prestige of a title. I was going to be more than content in continuing my warpath of silence but I saw what you had to say and it made me a real intense feeling. It left me incensed with disappointment!

The great Steve Chandler everyone. The promo king. The guy who captures the imagination of the audience with every sentence. Yet the promo you left for me? Let's say the title was fitting. Same shit, different day. What you reeled off about me was the same shit you've always done, nothing new. Uninspired. Lacking the killer edge. You don't want that missing on Sunday because believe me, Toorare and I will eat you alive.

I'm not gonna stand here and spiel off loads of shit, they don't pay me by the hour, but I will leave you with this.

There was only one part of what you said that was true, that made sense, that was somewhat original. "You're lazy". You're not wrong Steve, in this run I have been lazy. But also in this run I've beaten you twice in a week, I've won contendership for the World title, the Intercontinental title (twice), the Global Independent title, the Pacific title and most importantly for you, the Tag Team titles. I may not have converted any of them but I've not felt compelled enough. But a title I'm itching to win coupled with the disrespect you've shown me by that embarrassment of a promo? That's certainly enough to light a fire beneath me and let the old Monk come through.

So let me ask you Steve, if I've won all of these matches whilst being lazy... What do you think would happen if I stopped?
