UWF Tuesday Night RAW 7/23/2013 - Curtis Axel vs Vampiro
The fans in the arena are on their seats, doing whatever they wanted to do, when suddenly the lights go out and a drum beat hits the PA system...

The darkness turns into dark blue lighting as a man with his arms spread walks out from the back. The titantron says his name is Curtis Axel. But this man is not unknown to the average wrestling fan.
He has already wrestled in the past under the name Michael McGillicutty. However, his name is Joe Hennig, he is the son of the legendary IC champion, Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig. The fans don't know how to react since they do not know his goals nor why is he here. Joe Hennig however keeps smiling cockily and walks his way to the ring. Before he enters the ring, he is handed a microphone by the announcer Justin Roberts. The lights remain dark blue and music becomes silence as all the focus is on the man in the ring.
Curtis Axel:
I know it. I know a half of you is now asking themselves already when will I leave, because you don't want to watch a.. a "jobber" as the fans of our generation would say, and the other one is asking themselves "Why the hell is Michael McGillicutty here?". Question yourselves no more, I'm here to take over the RAW roster.
Many fans laugh loudly, some other boo, and some of them even cheer him.
That's a straightforward statement as an answer to the first hypothetical question of one half of the crowd. The answer to the other question is: go to hell, I'm not Michael McGillicutty.
The fans now boo him, because he doesn't seem very friendly.
You heard me, I'm not Michael McGillicutty. As a matter of fact, my name is Joe Hennig, and I am one man who should be treated as the treasure of UWF, because having ME on the roster is almost as valuable as winning the lottery. Many of you didn't even know how my voice sounds, many of you just knew me from squash matches I've wrestled when I have lost, many of you even forgot who I am, because I was off-screen for so damn long and I was not even injured. Now even though my list of accomplishments is for now very empty, I can say that I've done it all a wrestler could and should do. I have decided to dedicate myself to this business. As a child, I was a very proud and happy child. A proud an happy little wrestling fan. Whenever the WWF or even WCW shows were on, I was basically glued to the couch and the TV. I could just sit there for hours and daydream about being one of my heroes. I've had a hero myself, that was my father. My father, the great late Mr. Perfect, Curt Hennig, the best Intercontinental Champion of all time, as many people say. Some say he was the best wrestler to be ever born, I would say it too, but I would sound too biased and I don't want to cut off any from my credibility. My other hero was my grandfather, the legendary Larry "The Axe" Hennig. Another man who wrote the history of wrestling by, for example, making the humiliation of a so-called legendary Verne Gagne a regular thing for the wrestling fans to see. Both my father and my grandfather, they were great wrestlers, they were just perfect. Now, since it was my dream, and I wanted to continue the family tradition, I've decided to become a wrestler myself. I've decided to dedicate myself to the business, just like they did, and so I have obeyed every instruction and simply everything I was being told by my bosses. I have even adopted a name that makes me want to throw up when I hear it as my own. I've been a happy-go-lucky baby kissing hero wannabe, just to please the people, just to make them see that another talented wrestler is a guy with good intentions. But honestly, where did it get me to? It got me to the status of going from status "hero" to status ZERO. And after several years of being a zero, after several years of humiliating myself and making cameo appearances in backstage segments and occasionally becoming an unimportant part of a stable if I'm lucky, I've come near the point of calling quits on this job. But then..
He stops talking for a brief second as his eyes fill up with tears..
..then I have remembered what would have my father told me in this situation. You see.. the legacy or your last name is NOT the only thing that passes down the bloodline.. so does perfection. So does charisma! Skills! Talent! This time, I have decided that I've had enough of wasting my precious talent in meaningless matches, doing basically nothing. I've had enough of being the show's comic relief character. This is the time when I come and steal the spotlight. This is the time when I enter the spotlight. The time has come for me to teach the wrestling world a lesson to be remembered for years. From now on, I will be known as Curtis Axel. Why Curtis Axel? Why not Joe Hennig? It's simple. Even though I have the absolute respect to my family and it's name, I have more respect for my father and my grandfather. I want to live the moment they sadly haven't ever lived. I want to win a World Championship in a major company like UWF is. And then, I will host a small in-ring celebration and invite the title belt designers. I will watch them engrave the name "Curtis Axel" on the nameplate. Curtis - for the sake of my legendary father, who will be proud of my perfection somewhere in heaven, Axel - for my grandfather "The Axe", a man who has always been my idol, the man who helped me struggle through the hard times of my life when I lost my father and he lost his son, a man who taught me so many things, and when he sees this on TV, or even better, in the attendance, his eyes will fill with tears, just like mine, because all of us, all the THREE of us will be the champion. I will be the owner of the belt, the one who defends the title, I will be the one who will wrestle to keep it in the family and my father and my grandfather, they will be on the nameplate and their names will for mine. This way, UWF will achieve ultimate perfection. Something it's simply craving for.
But that.. that's just a distant plan for better times in the future. My quest starts today as I will have to earn the status my family has always had, I will have to prove my perfection. And with that being said, I call Vampiro to come out here. I'm inviting you Vampiro, to come here and look me in the eyes and remember you're nothing but a face-painted unimportant jobber from the history, I want you to look me in my eyes and realize that you're standing in the ring next to somebody you'll never be.. a future Hall of Famer. A perfect future Hall of Famer.
Vampiro's theme hits the PA system and interrupts Axel's ego-stroking session.
