The sharply dressed Matsuda briefly pauses to allow the thunderous applause from the extremely hot crowd to quiet down, though he is left standing for a few moments with his O.M.G. compatriot, Patolomai, and his lovely and talented waifu Minami, who was draped in championship gold.
As the crowd finally begins to settle, Matsuda puts the microphone to his lips, curled into his trademarked cocky grin.
Matsuda: You like me! You really like me!
The crowd pops as the Dear Leader speaks in an exaggerated tone.
Matsuda: Now I know, I know, it may be difficult for you all to see me under these bright lights, with these shining golden plates reflecting every ray of sunshine glimmering down upon me--but tonight, dear OCW Universe, is not about your Undisputed Super Junior Triple Crown and Hardcore Champion of the World, though arguably it should be…
Matsuda unstraps the Ex Division title belt from around his waist and places it around the neck of his glorified title rack, Minami, who accepts the burden with a confused yet appreciative smile.
Matsuda: No tonight we celebrate the life and career of my O.M.G. compatriot, dear friend, and bitter enemy, on the most perfect of nights to honor him--on his birthday!
Matsuda: Ladies and gentlemen, your Undisputed Super Junior Triple Crown and Hardcore Champion of the World, Hideto Matsuda, proudly presents to you: This is Your Life, Tiberius Dupree!
The camera pans to the Riotron for a brief video for the occasion.
We cut back to the ring where the members of OMG and to a lesser degree Minami, are clapping fervently. Patolomai even appears to be whipping a tear from his plump cheek. Matsuda takes the microphone once more to speak.
Matsuda: Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce to you, a man who needs no introduction!
Matsuda: A man who's accomplishments in this very ring speak for themselves!
The crowd begins to stir eagerly awaiting an encounter with Betterness.
Matsuda: An International Champion, and a multiple time OCW world champion! [muttering] Though one of them was easy to miss…
The crowd is now at a fever pitch!
Matsuda: Betterness made flesh, Tiberius Octavius Flavius Montavious Dupree!
Dupree acknowledges the fans, screaming as though Nate Ortiz himself had descended from the heavens to grant them two more months of Summer. Though judging by the look on Betterness' face, he appears a bit uncomfortable, if not a little annoyed.
Dupree: [unmic'd] I told you, my birthday was nearly three weeks ago now…
Matsuda: Legends celebrate their birth month my friend! Now have a seat, you are the guest of honor!
A royal tune is played from the loud speakers as a golden throne of Betterness descends from the rafters. Dupree cautiously obliges Our Villain, taking his place with the beautiful Madeline Osiris at his side.
Matsuda: With a career as illustrious and magnificent as yours, it may be hard to remember where it all began. Do you even remember Tibby, old sport?
Matsuda: Of course not! Here to remind you of your first major feud in OCW is the woman you and my friend Luke feuded over for months!
Dupree's eyes widen at the thought of who the Dear Leader may have been referring to, and quickly begins to try to explain the situation to Madeline, as if not to turn her off to him in any way.
A familiar tune blares over the loud speakers as a specter of yesteryear made herself known.
Matsuda: I present to you, Charlotte Dimsmore!
Charlotte is met with cheers on her epic return to the OCW ring, in fact a feint chant of "LSD" can be heard in the nose bleeds. The ex wife of Dimsmore graciously shakes Matsuda's hand before approaching the guest of honor to make first contact.
The tension can be cut with a knife as the Baron of Betterness stands up to greet her, but is met with no initial reaction. Moments pass, and Tibby cracks his famous half smile, that seemingly instantly sends Charlotte into a rage.
She slaps Dupree with a vengeful hand, and makes her way up the ramp from which she came. The mustard king of Betterness lets out an unexpected whimper as her returns to his seat, the master of ceremonies lets an obnoxious laugh.
Matsuda: Well then… on to the next one, shall we? A blast from the past, a man who made his OCW debut with you as the cameraman of your revolutionary Dupree TV, fresh from his current day job, Chuck The Cameraguy!
Chuck enters the ring and approaches Matsuda who's hand was extended for him to shake. He pauses, and proceeds to slap the taste out of the mouth of Our Villain, quickly fleeing up the ramp.
Chuck: You set me on fire, you asshole!
Matsuda tries to regain his composure, though his glasses were sent flying into the front row, the peaceful giant Patolomai encourages Matsuda to do some deep breathing, though Dupree's laughter does little to ease his pain.
Dupree: [laughing] You did set him on fire!
Matsuda: Its… not… funny…
Dupree: You've gotta admit you deserved it, eh?
The crowd laughs.
Matsuda: Sure… we're even… Onto the next…
Matsuda shuffles through his note cards.
Matsuda: Ah, this is as much a reunion for me as it is for you, Dupree… fresh of the plane from their residence in Glorious Japan, Aunt Marie and Mr. Yamaguchi!
The happy couple proceed to greet everyone in the ring, though they take a moments to deliberate.
Aunt Marie: [to Matsuda] Didn't you send your crazy friend to kidnap me?
Matsuda: Yeah but times have changed…
Yamaguchi: [to Dupree] And didn't you set /me/ on fire?
Dupree: Well technically you set yourself on fire…
The four begin to argue when they are suddenly interrupted.
Hanna: [to Matsuda] MY DEMONIC OVERLORD, I REQUEST PERMISSION TO FINALLY ELIMINATE THE DASTARD TIBERIUS DUPREE.
Dupree sits in his chair, hiding behind Madeline as the second wielder of the Dupree TV camera made clear threats at the Mustard King's soul.
Matsuda: Uh… Hanna… we don't really… do that… anymore…
Marie: I knew you haven't changed at all! We need to get out of here, Sochi. These people are dangerous devil worshipers.
Matsuda sighs.
Marie: And cannibals!
Pato sighs.
Marie: Sorry, Tibby. Call me later, hun.
Yamaguchi: Don't bother.
The Yamaguchi's retreat leaving only Hanna in the ring with OMG.
Hanna: You mean… you don't live to enforce LOTUS LAW anymore?
Matsuda: No…
Hanna lets out a vile shriek that seemingly triggers the ring post pyros before she too leaves the ring and heads up the entrance ramp. By now, Dupree is fed up with this pitiful display.
Dupree: See? You freaking ruin everything! This whole display is an insult to my Betterness! Come on Madeline, we're done here!
Madeline: Well its the thought that counts…
Dupree: Maybe if HE wasn't such a SCUMBAG for his entire career, one of those people might have wanted to stick around to wish me a happy birthday!
Matsuda: It's not your birthday…
Dupree: I'M DONE!
Matsuda: But wait, we have one more person! The person who taught you your Betterness!
Dupree raises a brow.
Matsuda: That's right! Your second grad English/Music teacher, from Mounty's Country Day School in Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada: Mr. Peters!
Unable to bear this ceremony any further, Dupree kicks over his throne and leaves the ring, leaving Pato and Matsuda in the ring as the scene fades.

What just happened? |

Umm... Wow. |
|
Matsuda lit the fire... he always lights the fire. |
The scene opens up to Leonheart's Private Suite, aka his command center for Riot. The door opens and out comes Cody Storm with a look of focus on his face. As he heads out Leonheart follows behind and stops him. Cody turns around and looks annoyed.
Leonheart: I want you to remember this moment Cody. I want you to remember that this right now this thing you wanted so much more than the water in the ground, the air in your lungs this opportunity, was given to you by ME!
Cody looks at the Acting CEO in utter Silence.
Leonheart: We haven't seen I to eye, but you forget together in Cerberus we dominated OCW, and even though our end game was never realized, even though you and Sean McGee let egos get in the way, I still succeeded.
Leonheart: I gave you all the tools that you needed to succeed. I gave you all the tools to defeat Sean McGee, and I was in your corner when it came to tonight.
Leonheart: So remember that Cody remember who made tonight possible.
Cody rolls his eyes and turns around to walk away. Before he can take his first step Leonheart slaps him incredibly hard in the back of his shoulder.
Leonheart: Good luck out there tonight kid!
Cody walks away as Leon smiles!
