*The scene opens up with Rumpke and Shrimp sitting at a quiet bar during down hours in Aberdeen, Maryland when Cassandra's latest interview begins to play. Rumpke casually takes a drink from a bottle of Miller Light here and there as the interview plays out it's short duration on air. Shrimp looks on with a puzzled expression as the channel cuts to commercial. The camera then looks at a Rumpke who is slyly smirking.*
Shrimp: Uh, what? Is that seriously it? Why in the hell did she even bother showing up?
Rumpke: She's just a pathetically fired up little Chihuahua. That's likely all there is to it Rick. Plus, Cassandra has been around long enough to know that she's not capable of taking the Hardcore title from me, even though I am operating on less cylinders than I used to be. So my guess is that she's preparing for yet another loss that's going to further taint her less than mediocre run in SFT. Since she knows resistance is futile, she's planning on putting forth minimal effort while trying to hold her head up for the public.
Shrimp: I could take that title from you!
Rumpke: If you would get off of your ass and start competing at SFT; you could try it but you've not had a match for awhile. Go ask Joey for a few matches, get back in the groove. Then we can talk about a title match!
Shrimp: Hey, it wasn't that long ago when I beat, Cassandra!
Rumpke: Incase you haven't noticed Rick, it doesn't take much to beat Cassandra... Heck, look at her piss poor record, that'll clearly show you that.
*Rumpke winks at Shrimp while he takes another drink from his beer.*
Shrimp: Yeah, you're right there, she is pretty awful at this.
Rumpke: Yep.. Anyways, I better get moving, I've got to catch a flight to Puerto Rico. Thanks for the crab cakes and the beer! Take care man.
*Shrimp nods as the two men shake hands with the scene fading out.*
Dear Cassandra,
Last Titans, you came out and said some really mean things to Jack Jones who honestly is one of SFT's finest, when he wants to be. I believe he's finally developed into one of those much like me who try when we want to and just pisses off whenever we feel like it. From time to time; piss-ants like you wonder on into SFT, believing you're some sort of Kryptonian who's bulletproof, when in all reality; you're just an easy target. One that can be crushed at will.
If I remember right, awhile back, I believe it might of been Jack that compared you to me; which in all honestly was one hell of an insult from Jack, directed to me. Afterall, I'm leagues ahead of you when it comes to having in ring skills. There's honestly not even a comparison between us Cassandra. I don't think that Jack caught this great diss of his but that clever hick just might have known.
*Rumpke winks.*
Either way, I caught this ultimate insult of Jack's! And, while I am pathetic drug addict, one that tries to no longer live for my addictions, at least I'm not a self-absorbed witch like you.
Truth be told, even though I rarely point it out, there's a reason I attach a particular song to my promos. Take this one, "The Emperor" by Megadeth.. We all know that you seem incapable of seeing that your shit stinks, just like all of ours does.. Perhaps you're afraid to show your shortcomings, maybe you think that'll make you appear weak... When in fact, we already know your shit stinks, just as much as ours. While you may always come out here with your nose up in the air as if you're flawless; the joke, isn't on us, it's on you because we all know you're a charlatan... We know you're weak, weaker than us just like the crowd knows this as well.
After listening to you shoot last week, it's obvious to me that you believe you're more deserving of title shots over anyone else.. For some odd reason, you've got this belief that you'll sell more tickets and make more money in general versus others like Jack, who has faithfully been competing in SFT, probably longer than I have which likely seems like an eternity to your feeble mind..
Ontop of that Cassandra, I've got a newsflash for you. Something your majesty likely hasn't realized because your head is too far up your own ass to pay attention to reality... People, they don't pay to watch failures... Which is exactly what you've "casually" been doing, failing. So, would you please get over yourself? You're really not a challenge, not at all Cassandra and while you don't owe me or anyone else anything. I don't think anyone said you did, I know I didn't say that... However, you do owe yourself the chance to finally take the next step in your lackluster career and you're not going to take that step if you throw a little hissy fit and storm out of an interview like a spoiled, little brat when you've got a big match ahead of you.
Truthfully, I don't owe you a title shot and I have no idea why you think you're so deserving of any title shot when you were 0-3 and I can't imagine how much larger your head is now that you're 1-4... I'm lying Cassandra, I know you're all about yourself. And while you honestly don't deserve a shot at the Hardcore title due to your sad display of pathetically weak talent. I have a tradition to keep with this Hardcore title and that's where I adhere to the original rule of the title when it was first brought back. That's that the Hardcore Championship will be defended every singles match, doesn't matter if it's against a weakling like you or the awaken giant, Redd; the title must be defended, no matter what! Even if I take on the current World Champion, I will be defending the Hardcore title!
You know what's sad is that I'm the only individual who played by this one rule. Any time I was in a singles match, this title was on the line. That's one thing I can say that with my head up. I kept to that rule and sadly; I'm the only one who held this title and followed that strictly. Everyone else, including you, wouldn't defend this title against another title. You all always wanted to opt for a supposed upgrade in the form of the Intercontinental title, which in my mind; is a downgrade in reality, much like the World title is as well! You didn't have respect for this title back then and I've got no doubt that you have no respect for it now.
In all honesty Cassandra, I would think you'd be better off trying to improve your craft and getting on solid footing before trying to enter the title scene because you're not ready yet. Take me, I'm still not in full form and while that's true, it's also truthfully speaking when I tell you that I know that 50% of me is easily comparable to 100% of you any day of the week... You've still got a long way to go before you'd be able to challenge me.
Best of luck to you Cassandra, I'll try to not hurt you too bad in our match so you can hopefully get back to training after you go 1-5.
Take care,
Rumpke
