Ladies and Gentleman we are back on the scene! With RIOT 632
The YEAR is 2025 and RIOT IS BACK!
ROOKIE CHALLENGE BELAKOR vs. THE MANTIS
After a quick commercial break the camera opens back up on the empty Riot ring, panning over the seats high and low packed with fans as if the arena was a can of sardines. The Canadian flag appears on the titantron with the entrance music of Damian Bourne playing while he walks out from backstage with a microphone in hand. He carries a smug smile on his face as he waves to the crowd on the walkway and is met with boos when entering the ring. He signals for his music to be cut.
Damian Bourne: Joe Deaver… he’s the self-proclaimed man to believe in by some. The man with his own section of believers. Deaver who the hell in their right mind is believing in you out here, anybody here in the audience? Definitely not the people where I’m from.
In response the crowd erupts with loud boos, their voices drowning out Bourne’s microphone. On both sides of the ring throughout the crowd fans are waving homemade signs reading “Believe in Deaver!” and “In Deave we Believe!”. He tries to speak but is silenced by the loudness of the audience. Damian rolls out of the ring and walks towards the way he came in, to the sound of boos and disrespect, he spits at a sign carried by a woman in the crowd and as fans gasp in shock leaving a moment of silence Bourne takes the chance to speak out.
Damian Bourne: The only fans you got here are some prepubescents with no father figure trying to grow that same pornstache you've been carrying on your dumb face, and maybe a few brokies from run down ol Pennsylvania that made it here. Americans here don’t even have a reason to believe in their country or people, and you expect me or some basement dwellers to believe you’re going to save them or save wrestling? Even with the free tickets your parents got in the mail they’re not coming here tonight bud, even they have no reason to believe in you. For what? Isn’t it hard enough for them living with the biggest mistake they made?
A fan throws a soda can, hitting Damian in the chest he picks it up launching it back into the crowd, the same fan leans over the barricade enough to shout at Bourne.
Random Deaver Fan: Deaver’s got what you’ll never have in your life, REAL SUPPORT! By people who love and believe in him!
Still holding the microphone Damian feints throwing it at the fan causing them to flinch, he holds it up to speak
Damian Bourne: The Canadian people believe in me and carry me in their hearts. That's the only damn thing that matters to me, not the opinions of you leeches living off welfare and running the hamster wheel 24/7. Tonight, I don’t need hope, I don’t need belief, I’ve got something better. True Canadian roots and blood in my veins, woven into every fiber of who I am. I’m genetically stronger mentally and physically than any belief system you dweebs and your leader rely on because of my nation and its greatness.
Damian Bourne: Tonight Deaver, you’re just the first body in a long trail I’m leaving behind. I'm cutting through the talent one by one to succeed in OCW and to create a legacy for my people. Mark my words, your believers can close their eyes, they can hold their hands, they can pray for all I care. It won’t change the outcome tonight. You don’t believe in yourself enough to beat me Joe. And after tonight, neither will anyone else.
Bourne drops the microphone on the floor, turning his back on the negativity he walks backstage as the camera cuts off to transition into the next segment.
