The camera cuts to TLA working hard on construction projects at the Poon Palace. He is shown nailing down floor boards using a nail gun. A very handy tool. Has many uses. Very valuable for all kinds of “projects” if ya feel me. 
TLA: I don't know why you seem to have some sort of problem with me Harper. I've been nothing but nice and respectful to you all week long. I gave you all kinds of props on carrying Donovan's bags and sucking his dick like a good lil whore and somehow you feel disrespected? That's crazy. I mean just cuz we ain't want to hire you at the Poon Palace you ain't gotta get all heated about it. I even told you that I'm going to go out to that ring and I'm going to gut you alive and somehow you be acting like I'm in the wrong for wanting to murder yo ass? I ain't even know what to say to that. I mean I be coming at you with the most respect possible. I have literally taken inspiration from you. Because you showed me how I needed to behave in this new era. You taught me that it is not enough to actually be a good wrestler anymore. You have to be a killer. You have to form alliances. You have to form an army. You can't just do it like you used to anymore. It's all about who can hurt who the most. And I'm going to hurt yall. I'm going to make y'all wish that we was still wrestling because when I'm done with you nobody is gonna be able to protect yo ass any longer. I will cut down the members of Silas World one at a time and you should really enjoy the time that y'all and Donovan be spending together because you might not be together for long. Whether that's me or you is still to be decided. You turn on everyone else might as well turn on him too as soon as he is no longer of any use to you.
Cuz that's what you do.
TLA: You got bigger things to worry about than misogyny Harper. You can get all mad and offended because I gave a voice to what everyone else on this roster thinks about you. But the facts are that's not even the most offensive thing that I said to you. Why is it that people get so mad when you say something discriminatory to insult them but they don't seem to care at all when you be threatening mass murder? You been trying to find the joke of the group and you can look no further. Cuz it is a joke what y'all have made me do to all y'all. You should have been nicer to Ryan. Cuz he's the nice one. He's gonna treat you with civility and respect. I'm not going to do that. I'm not gonna treat you with anything but pain. I'm just gonna chop yo head off but before that I'll enjoy tormenting you and making you scream. I bet Donovan never did that. You see Harper I'm willing to do shit that you just not willing to do. You not willing to cross the lines that I am willing to cross and because of that you will fail. You got a problem with me not having anything worthwhile to say but is there even anything worthwhile to say about you? I told you that I wasn't even going to bother responding to you at all this week but since y'all felt the need to continue talking I felt that I needed to say something too. Cuz we need to fill the void and drown out your voice until we get the chance to drown you. You are right about one thing tho Harper. I have given up on being a serious competitor. Because as far as I can tell there are no serious competitors anywhere here on Showdown anymore to actually take seriously. It's all one giant ass joke and I might as well get in on it. I'm not looking to be a competitor anymore Harper. I'm looking to fuck shit up because it looks so much fun when you do it. I saw y'all out there attacking the General Manager. I've seen Ronan and all y'all interfering in every single match on every single Showdown for months and months and now I want a taste of that.
Cuz y'all apparently can just do whatever.
TLA: So why should I hold myself to a higher standard? I've been holding myself to a higher standard all season long and clearly it is a waste of time on this brand at this point. We need to change our tactics up and engage in a new kind of violence. Nah clearly the only thing left to do is to go scorched earth on all of these lil bitches and fuck em up until they got no choice but to beg me to stop. Maybe y'all should have treated me with some respect before and I'd have some for you now. I showed respect to Ryan Wilson because he was willing to hustle. He was willing to work hard. He wants Showdown to be the way that it was supposed to be. He hasn't completely given up on that dream. But people like y'all wouldn't understand what it is like to work for something yo entire life. You put a time limit on any goal you have and if you don’t meet it then you consider it a failure and give up on it. You just too busy running around and claiming that you were the star of every tag team and alliance you've ever been in. You are the big shot! And then you wonder why I would dare to talk down to you. How dare TLA call me a dirty filthy slut! How dare TLA say that I have just been sleeping my way to the top. It must really not be fun for you when someone does the same thing to you that you have done to everyone you have been associated with your entire career.
I have no sympathy for you.
TLA: Just cuz y'all done saw your tag teams and alliances one way y'all presume to see mine just the same way. You think that me and Ryan are just like you Harper. But you can't escape your head to realize that is not the case. We are built different. I could throw Ryan under the bus any day I wanted and run off and spend the rest of my career bragging about being the real star of the team! I could turn my back on Cody and tell him that he's just not good enough to lace my boots cuz I’ve beaten him before. I could say fuck it to everyone in this match cuz none of y'all have even come close to accomplishing what I have in my career. But I don't do that. I treat my partners and my competition with the respect that they deserve. You don't do that Harper and you hurt people who don't deserve it. You come out here sounding like the most cliche teen movie bully every single week and then you are surprised when the rest of the school decides to team up to take you down? Y’all think it is surprising that I am acting like an angry teenager? I’m just lowering myself to your level chica. I guess you don’t like what you see in the mirror. And I don't think that you have seen enough cinema to know how this ends! Unlucky for you this is not cinema tho. This is real life. And if you had thought that I would do the right thing and compete against you fair and square and try to overcome the odds like a good hombre then you was mistaken.
Cuz maybe I just want to fight you.
TLA: Maybe I just want to knock you down a peg because you have been talking too much shit on my watch. You been saying too much rancid shit on my block and that's a fast way to end up with some lead in you. Y'all can say that I'm sounding like an incel all you want but you the only one around here who apparently can't get any. I thought I was being nice by telling the whole world that you was getting that Donovan D but apparently y'all real proud to let the whole world know that you ain't getting no ass. I guess it makes sense that you would have no interest in boosting your ego like that when you can't even comprehend the consequences of your own actions. You can't even understand that telling someone like Jon Kelton or Ryan Wilson that they are a bad wrestler isn't going to make them happy. You are disrespecting people who have dedicated they entire lives to this and you not even able to say something nice about them. And then you wonder why they out for yo blood. When you learn that yo words got consequences maybe you will be a lil safer with them but until then I'm not going to take a lecture from you about being disrespectful to you or anyone else. Y'all wanna call me childish or acting like an idiotic teenager maybe you should actually listen to your buddy Donovan Duke talk for once. Cuz if anyone has brought immaturity and pettiness to Showdown it's him. Cuz you deserve what's coming to you and I'm going to sleep like a baby knowing that your blood is on my hands. You can tell me all you want how dangerous you are but I ain't scared of shit. I ain't got shit to lose. I told you already. I'm putting it all on the line and you going to have to put me down like a rabid dog before I take you all out.
And imma have the time of my life doing it.
TLA: Sure I'll call out Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels too. Why shouldn't I? I want my fucking title match. They shouldn't get one before I do. And now that they haven't been able to win the title I should get mine. Donovan Duke never beat me. Harper Lee never beat me. Elysium never beat me. Y'all haven't done shit to me and half the viewers of this program prolly think I'm still the Answers World Champion cuz y'all haven't been able to do shit with it in all this time. Who was main eventing at King of Elite again? Who was having the most competitive match of the night at Reasonable Doubt? It sure as hell wasn't you. All you did was end the show with a complete embarrassment and devalued the title and this brand even more than you already have. You just proved yet again that Donovan Duke doesn't have what it takes to be a real man or a real champion. And that you don't have what it takes to win the title when it counts. You can blame Elysium all you want but maybe try to take some responsibility for your own actions for once. But you did show me one thing. You showed me that Donovan does have a target on his back. Look at him scurry around trying to escape with the title like a lil rat. Trying to get out of there before all of the carnivores around him eat his ass. I look at you people and I just see prey. I just see something to hunt. And I just see all y'all in La Pantera Sexual's jungle.
Just waiting to get ate.
TLA: You can form an alliance all you want but that just means that your competition is going to have to step up. You want to work together to keep the championship in Silas World. Don't be surprised when a motherfucker like me decides he wants to come through and pry it out. And y'all think that you can stop me. But you ain't understand that I'm not Jon Kelton. I'm not Bronson Daniels. I'm not going to be in that ring saying all kinds of cringe mierda about dreams and love and brotherhood. Im going to be in that ring and I'm going to be swinging a chain around real fast looking to bludgeon yo skull wide open. You can call me an idiot all you want but at the end of the day it's gonna be you who regrets fucking with a real one like me. I'm not waiting around for you people to strike. I'm going to strike first and I'm going to strike without prejudice. Cuz I've seen how you people operate. You care about nothing but getting what you want. So I'm going to jump y'all bitch asses first. I'm going to come for y'all cuz apparently Donovan is too much of a coward to face me like a man. So I'll have to deal with you for now Harper. You say that you ain't scared of me and that's good. It will be much easier to fuck you up if you not running away and hiding like a lil bitch. Y'all been running from me for the longest and I ain't surprised cuz y'all got a taste of me in the ring earlier this season and I wasn't even out for blood then. Y'all couldn't get the job done then Harper and you can make all kinds of excuses about Jon Kelton or whatever you want to take the blame off yourself but personally I think that is real sad. Especially since you could literally say the same thing about every other match that Silas World has had for months at this point. And Jon Kelton wasn't even my ally. He was my opponent and y'all wanna somehow front like I give a fuck about any of that when I'd kick his head in just as soon as any of y'all.
It's sad how much of a hypocrite you are Harper.
TLA: We could've been having a straight up Answers World Title match at any one of these shows. You and me. We coulda settled it. But y'all got desperate. Y'all got impatient. Y'all couldn't get the job done against me one on one so you went and you teamed up with a bunch of posers who couldn't lace my boots in that ring. The only thing you are good for Harper is being backup. You sure can interfere in everyone's matches real good chica! But now I'm going to challenge you on even that and you wanna call me delusional. But I think I am the only person in this match who is thinking clearly. I'm the only one in this match who has the cojones to stand up to you and not give a fuck about my own well being to do it. I'm not as selfish as you think Harper. I'm willing to sacrifice my career and my own health to go to war against you people even if no one else is. Cuz why should y'all get away with it? Why should you get to come out here and throw all your former partners under the bus. Throw everyone in Elysium under the bus. Throw my partners and everyone on this brand under the bus just so that you can run around and do whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
Not while I'm still breathing.
TLA: You think this is personal? This is just action and consequence. This is just what happens when you turn Showdown into what it has become. This is what happens when you remove the wrestling from the wrestling brand. This is what happens when you take away what the people love. When you think you know better than la raza. Cuz you done decided that this is not about wrestling anymore. It's about war so you should start acting like it. You can try and hype Ronan Malosi up as much as you want like it's a big deal or some shit but I'm the last person you should be bragging about his Interwire Title record to. Cuz I done did that shit a long ass time ago. And literally nobody is pretending that Ronan hasn't been terrorizing the Showdown roster all season long. In fact that is the entire point. That's why I am sharpening my machete right now. Because to deal with terrorists sometimes you gotta resort to extreme methods. If I gotta waterboard Osama bin Ronan then I will do just that because we not tolerating his actions on Showdown soil.
Why would I go after Elysium?
TLA: I will go after them when I'm booked against them. Or maybe before if I feel like it. But I see no better option of handling business right now than fuckin' up yo shit. Fuckin' up Silas World real bad and leaving no doubt in anyone's mind just who be running this prison. Gonna be the baddest inmate on the block. Gonna make sure y'all know who the big dawg really be. This is where all the titles are. This is where all the shiny shit be. You people want to call yourselves champions and act like you are at the top of the brand and I see no better way than to force myself into the main event of Pain for Pride than to take you all down. I know exactly what I am doing Harper and you can try to play all the mind games you want to distract me and make me go after Elysium instead but that's not going to save yo ass. You gonna get this work regardless. Cuz even my losses these last few months are still more impressive than anything you've tried to do. Why should I feel any kind of gratitude towards you and Donovan? You've already shown me how you treat people who you used to be allied with. I'm not gonna do yo ass any better. You call me an idiot because you think that I shouldn't fuck y'all up because you ain't jumped me yet? In my barrio that's dead man talk. You kill or be killed out here. And if anyone is the idiot Harper it's you because you should have jumped me before now. You should have made one hundred percent sure that I didn't survive. You shouldn't have ever worried about saving me.
Cuz now there ain't gonna be no saving you.
TLA: Alright I think that about wraps it up. Wait a minute. DIOS MIO! DONOVAN DUKE!?! You actually showed up holmes! I honestly forgot that you were in this match until this point. Donovan Duke? Wrestling? ON SHOWDOWN? God damn. That’s rarer than the British Invasion actually wrestling on a weekly show. I know that our champion’s time is clearly valuable so I will make this real quick. You know Donovan… you are a really sex negative person. It’s honestly sad to see in big 2025. I am starting to realize why Harper Lee was so sensitive about me making jokes about her sex life. Cuz it was prolly a real harsh reminder that she really has no chance whatsoever with you cabron. I mean we have Harper over here all offended n shit cuz I be calling her all sorts of names but really maybe she should start by looking inside the house first. Cuz Donovan been calling women sluts and STD ridden hos all season long. Why isn’t Harper going after him for it? But when I do it apparently it is too far and completely outta line! At least Harper said mean mean words to me before I started insulting her. Y’all just decided to target some fine ass working women for no reason. You people should really get yo shit together. Get it all together so that I can fuck it up for you.
Cuz imma fuck yo shit up.
TLA: You know I should really be more thankful to people like my partners Ryan Wilson and Cody Maverick. Cuz even if we don’t see eye to eye on everything we all got that shared dream for what Showdown could be. For what this brand should be. I look around at everyone else and they have completely given up. Nobody is fucking trying. Nobody cares about wrestling anymore. EAW is a dying brand these days. Silas World doesn’t care about wrestling, they only care about ruining wrestling and turning the whole show into a joke. The fans be yearning for the golden age of when I was champion. I didn’t even realize then what I was doing for them. But y’all have given me a real wake up call as to how much worse I could have fucked it all up. My partners represent never giving up more than anyone else in this company. Did Cody give up after I beat him in the KOE tournament? Nah he bounced back and he is the National Elite Champion. Did Ryan give up after any of the losses that Harper has been droning on about every time we have wrestled her? Nah he hasn’t stopped. But you people have given up. You gave up a long ass time ago. You can call Ryan a horrible wrestler all you want. He’s not. But even if he was?
At least he is a wrestler unlike you.
TLA: I can’t wait to watch a “Wrestling Masterclass” from the guy who probably couldn’t find the ropes in a ring without a member of Silas World interfering to help guide him. I honestly think that I need to drink more Donovan in order to black out the memories imma have from looking at your face after I beat yo ass black and blue. It’s gonna be real ugly stuff. The shit of nightmares up in here. Cuz I am going to need to drown that shit out. Beat the conscience out of me. Make sure that when I end up in that ring imma mean mean borracho. Just fuckin’ yo shit up and leaving no doubt as to who the best luchador on this roster is. You know the more that I talk to y’all and realize just what we are dealing with here the less and less I want to completely give up on Showdown and wrestling. Maybe Ryan is right. Maybe Cody is right. Maybe there is still hope for this brand. Just because the opps we are dealing with are too damn incompetent to actually fuck everything up. Ryan said something earlier.
Showdown isn’t theirs to conquer.
TLA: He said that Showdown isn’t a show that y’all capable of taking over. And Donovan Duke can act like that’s already been done. Tell Ryan that he ain’t been paying attention to the show. But that’s only because he is acting like the war was already won. It ain’t. It’s just getting started. You people think you’ve already won. You think that this is Silas’ World but Showdown doesn’t belong to Silas Mason. Showdown belongs to la gente. And we going to give it back to them. Cuz this brand has never needed Hustlers like us more than ever to remind them just what can be done when y’all really put in that work and deliver them consequences to the pinches pendejos who be deserving of it. Don’t get me wrong tho. I’m a man of my word. You are going to get fucked up this week and I don’t care about winning or losing or dying or living. I care about making a statement and this week our team is going to shut y’all down cuz I just know none of y’all can match our hustle!
¡Porque somos luchadores y ganaremos!
TLA continues his work with the nail gun as time lapse footage is shown. Eventually it is revealed that TLA is building a wrestling ring in the middle of the Poon Palace which he then enters to begin training for the main event match this week on Showdown.
TLA: I don't know why you seem to have some sort of problem with me Harper. I've been nothing but nice and respectful to you all week long. I gave you all kinds of props on carrying Donovan's bags and sucking his dick like a good lil whore and somehow you feel disrespected? That's crazy. I mean just cuz we ain't want to hire you at the Poon Palace you ain't gotta get all heated about it. I even told you that I'm going to go out to that ring and I'm going to gut you alive and somehow you be acting like I'm in the wrong for wanting to murder yo ass? I ain't even know what to say to that. I mean I be coming at you with the most respect possible. I have literally taken inspiration from you. Because you showed me how I needed to behave in this new era. You taught me that it is not enough to actually be a good wrestler anymore. You have to be a killer. You have to form alliances. You have to form an army. You can't just do it like you used to anymore. It's all about who can hurt who the most. And I'm going to hurt yall. I'm going to make y'all wish that we was still wrestling because when I'm done with you nobody is gonna be able to protect yo ass any longer. I will cut down the members of Silas World one at a time and you should really enjoy the time that y'all and Donovan be spending together because you might not be together for long. Whether that's me or you is still to be decided. You turn on everyone else might as well turn on him too as soon as he is no longer of any use to you.
Cuz that's what you do.
TLA: You got bigger things to worry about than misogyny Harper. You can get all mad and offended because I gave a voice to what everyone else on this roster thinks about you. But the facts are that's not even the most offensive thing that I said to you. Why is it that people get so mad when you say something discriminatory to insult them but they don't seem to care at all when you be threatening mass murder? You been trying to find the joke of the group and you can look no further. Cuz it is a joke what y'all have made me do to all y'all. You should have been nicer to Ryan. Cuz he's the nice one. He's gonna treat you with civility and respect. I'm not going to do that. I'm not gonna treat you with anything but pain. I'm just gonna chop yo head off but before that I'll enjoy tormenting you and making you scream. I bet Donovan never did that. You see Harper I'm willing to do shit that you just not willing to do. You not willing to cross the lines that I am willing to cross and because of that you will fail. You got a problem with me not having anything worthwhile to say but is there even anything worthwhile to say about you? I told you that I wasn't even going to bother responding to you at all this week but since y'all felt the need to continue talking I felt that I needed to say something too.

And imma have the time of my life doing it.
TLA: Sure I'll call out Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels too. Why shouldn't I? I want my fucking title match. They shouldn't get one before I do. And now that they haven't been able to win the title I should get mine. Donovan Duke never beat me. Harper Lee never beat me. Elysium never beat me. Y'all haven't done shit to me and half the viewers of this program prolly think I'm still the Answers World Champion cuz y'all haven't been able to do shit with it in all this time.

I just see something to hunt. And I just see all y'all in La Pantera Sexual's jungle.
Just waiting to get ate.
TLA: You can form an alliance all you want but that just means that your competition is going to have to step up. You want to work together to keep the championship in Silas World. Don't be surprised when a motherfucker like me decides he wants to come through and pry it out. And y'all think that you can stop me. But you ain't understand that I'm not Jon Kelton. I'm not Bronson Daniels. I'm not going to be in that ring saying all kinds of cringe mierda about dreams and love and brotherhood. Im going to be in that ring and I'm going to be swinging a chain around real fast looking to bludgeon yo skull wide open. You can call me an idiot all you want but at the end of the day it's gonna be you who regrets fucking with a real one like me. I'm not waiting around for you people to strike. I'm going to strike first and I'm going to strike without prejudice. Cuz I've seen how you people operate. You care about nothing but getting what you want. So I'm going to jump y'all bitch asses first. I'm going to come for y'all cuz apparently Donovan is too much of a coward to face me like a man. So I'll have to deal with you for now Harper. You say that you ain't scared of me and that's good. It will be much easier to fuck you up if you not running away and hiding like a lil bitch.

It's sad how much of a hypocrite you are Harper.
TLA: We could've been having a straight up Answers World Title match at any one of these shows. You and me. We coulda settled it. But y'all got desperate. Y'all got impatient. Y'all couldn't get the job done against me one on one so you went and you teamed up with a bunch of posers who couldn't lace my boots in that ring. The only thing you are good for Harper is being backup. You sure can interfere in everyone's matches real good chica! But now I'm going to challenge you on even that and you wanna call me delusional. But I think I am the only person in this match who is thinking clearly. I'm the only one in this match who has the cojones to stand up to you and not give a fuck about my own well being to do it. I'm not as selfish as you think Harper. I'm willing to sacrifice my career and my own health to go to war against you people even if no one else is. Cuz why should y'all get away with it? Why should you get to come out here and throw all your former partners under the bus. Throw everyone in Elysium under the bus. Throw my partners and everyone on this brand under the bus just so that you can run around and do whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
Not while I'm still breathing.
TLA: You think this is personal? This is just action and consequence. This is just what happens when you turn Showdown into what it has become. This is what happens when you remove the wrestling from the wrestling brand. This is what happens when you take away what the people love. When you think you know better than la raza. Cuz you done decided that this is not about wrestling anymore. It's about war so you should start acting like it. You can try and hype Ronan Malosi up as much as you want like it's a big deal or some shit but I'm the last person you should be bragging about his Interwire Title record to. Cuz I done did that shit a long ass time ago. And literally nobody is pretending that Ronan hasn't been terrorizing the Showdown roster all season long. In fact that is the entire point. That's why I am sharpening my machete right now. Because to deal with terrorists sometimes you gotta resort to extreme methods. If I gotta waterboard Osama bin Ronan then I will do just that because we not tolerating his actions on Showdown soil.
Why would I go after Elysium?
TLA: I will go after them when I'm booked against them. Or maybe before if I feel like it. But I see no better option of handling business right now than fuckin' up yo shit. Fuckin' up Silas World real bad and leaving no doubt in anyone's mind just who be running this prison. Gonna be the baddest inmate on the block. Gonna make sure y'all know who the big dawg really be. This is where all the titles are. This is where all the shiny shit be. You people want to call yourselves champions and act like you are at the top of the brand and I see no better way than to force myself into the main event of Pain for Pride than to take you all down. I know exactly what I am doing Harper and you can try to play all the mind games you want to distract me and make me go after Elysium instead but that's not going to save yo ass. You gonna get this work regardless. Cuz even my losses these last few months are still more impressive than anything you've tried to do. Why should I feel any kind of gratitude towards you and Donovan? You've already shown me how you treat people who you used to be allied with. I'm not gonna do yo ass any better. You call me an idiot because you think that I shouldn't fuck y'all up because you ain't jumped me yet? In my barrio that's dead man talk. You kill or be killed out here. And if anyone is the idiot Harper it's you because you should have jumped me before now. You should have made one hundred percent sure that I didn't survive. You shouldn't have ever worried about saving me.
Cuz now there ain't gonna be no saving you.
TLA: Alright I think that about wraps it up. Wait a minute. DIOS MIO! DONOVAN DUKE!?! You actually showed up holmes! I honestly forgot that you were in this match until this point. Donovan Duke? Wrestling? ON SHOWDOWN? God damn. That’s rarer than the British Invasion actually wrestling on a weekly show. I know that our champion’s time is clearly valuable so I will make this real quick. You know Donovan… you are a really sex negative person. It’s honestly sad to see in big 2025. I am starting to realize why Harper Lee was so sensitive about me making jokes about her sex life. Cuz it was prolly a real harsh reminder that she really has no chance whatsoever with you cabron. I mean we have Harper over here all offended n shit cuz I be calling her all sorts of names but really maybe she should start by looking inside the house first. Cuz Donovan been calling women sluts and STD ridden hos all season long. Why isn’t Harper going after him for it? But when I do it apparently it is too far and completely outta line! At least Harper said mean mean words to me before I started insulting her. Y’all just decided to target some fine ass working women for no reason. You people should really get yo shit together. Get it all together so that I can fuck it up for you.
Cuz imma fuck yo shit up.
TLA: You know I should really be more thankful to people like my partners Ryan Wilson and Cody Maverick. Cuz even if we don’t see eye to eye on everything we all got that shared dream for what Showdown could be. For what this brand should be. I look around at everyone else and they have completely given up. Nobody is fucking trying. Nobody cares about wrestling anymore. EAW is a dying brand these days. Silas World doesn’t care about wrestling, they only care about ruining wrestling and turning the whole show into a joke. The fans be yearning for the golden age of when I was champion. I didn’t even realize then what I was doing for them. But y’all have given me a real wake up call as to how much worse I could have fucked it all up. My partners represent never giving up more than anyone else in this company. Did Cody give up after I beat him in the KOE tournament? Nah he bounced back and he is the National Elite Champion. Did Ryan give up after any of the losses that Harper has been droning on about every time we have wrestled her? Nah he hasn’t stopped. But you people have given up. You gave up a long ass time ago. You can call Ryan a horrible wrestler all you want. He’s not. But even if he was?
At least he is a wrestler unlike you.
TLA: I can’t wait to watch a “Wrestling Masterclass” from the guy who probably couldn’t find the ropes in a ring without a member of Silas World interfering to help guide him. I honestly think that I need to drink more Donovan in order to black out the memories imma have from looking at your face after I beat yo ass black and blue. It’s gonna be real ugly stuff. The shit of nightmares up in here. Cuz I am going to need to drown that shit out. Beat the conscience out of me. Make sure that when I end up in that ring imma mean mean borracho. Just fuckin’ yo shit up and leaving no doubt as to who the best luchador on this roster is. You know the more that I talk to y’all and realize just what we are dealing with here the less and less I want to completely give up on Showdown and wrestling. Maybe Ryan is right. Maybe Cody is right. Maybe there is still hope for this brand. Just because the opps we are dealing with are too damn incompetent to actually fuck everything up. Ryan said something earlier.
Showdown isn’t theirs to conquer.
TLA: He said that Showdown isn’t a show that y’all capable of taking over. And Donovan Duke can act like that’s already been done. Tell Ryan that he ain’t been paying attention to the show. But that’s only because he is acting like the war was already won. It ain’t. It’s just getting started. You people think you’ve already won. You think that this is Silas’ World but Showdown doesn’t belong to Silas Mason. Showdown belongs to la gente. And we going to give it back to them. Cuz this brand has never needed Hustlers like us more than ever to remind them just what can be done when y’all really put in that work and deliver them consequences to the pinches pendejos who be deserving of it. Don’t get me wrong tho. I’m a man of my word. You are going to get fucked up this week and I don’t care about winning or losing or dying or living. I care about making a statement and this week our team is going to shut y’all down cuz I just know none of y’all can match our hustle!
¡Porque somos luchadores y ganaremos!
TLA continues his work with the nail gun as time lapse footage is shown. Eventually it is revealed that TLA is building a wrestling ring in the middle of the Poon Palace which he then enters to begin training for the main event match this week on Showdown.
