S.T. Strickler is sitting by himself at a small restaurant in downtown San Antonio. There's a piece of paper in front of him, which has his opponents and the matches for 4-Up.
Strickler: I've been in pro wrestling for the last 6 years. Every promotion that I have been a part of, never have I seen such an unusual concept for such a match. My days in FCW, NAWA, and the WRF were nothing like this.
Let me see if I can make sense of this.. 16 people get into the ring at once. But unlike a normal battle royal where you have to eliminate someone, you instead eliminate yourself to have your pick of the match. Sounds creative, and better than what TNA does. Four different kinds of matches to chose from; Light Tubes, Chains, Barbed Wire, and a TLC match. If that doesn't sound vicious and hardcore, then I don't know what does.
I really don't care which match I go into.... except for the barbed wire match. Just the thought of having some nasty, rusty wire being dug into my skin is disgusting. How people like Mick Foley, Sabu, and Terry Funk made a living off that is beyond me.
Strickler stops when a waitress brings him a drink.
Strickler: This 4-Up match has some of the best competition around. And for you betting people, the smart money would definitely be on me, "The Real Deal". Seriously, look at my opponents. Most of them don't even have the same credentials as me. But there are a few that I care too much for.
I see that Wench is in this match. Good for her. She should flee in terror when she sees me. Every time we've been in the same ring together, something bad usually happens. Remember when I kicked you in the skull? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not hard to forget. What's even better is that I can do anything I want to you, and nobody will be able to stop me! And believe me, when I say anything, I do mean ANYTHING.
Then there's that punk from Carolina, Syco. Me and Benson just kicked your butt a few weeks ago. He won't be in the match, but I have no problem finishing you off for good. I haven't forgotten that little stunt that you pulled on me weeks ago. And I'll definitely make sure that you won't forget my fist in your face!
And then there's Levetation. Gee, how many times do we keep crossing paths with each other? I bet you're still fuming over me costing you a chance at the Texas Heavyweight Championship. Sorry Lev, but there's no way that I'll let you get ahead of me around here. I hope that we meet in the Cage of Death, because I'm going to beat you good with whatever weapon I take in there.
This may be my first chance at 4-Up, but I'm going to make the most of it. I may not be as hardcore as everybody else, but I will make my mark and I will emerge victorious as the New Bad Blood champion! And if you all don't like it, that's too bad because you all are gonna have to get used to it!
Strickler gets up, leaves a tip, and exits the restaurant as the scene fades out.
