::Unlike the scene that Whitey Ford pops up in most of the time he addresses the camera, the room is all black with the former BWA Champion sitting in a chair in the center. He appears just short of somber, hands clasped in front of him with his arms resting on his legs.::
Whitey Ford: Obviously you expected me to be more vocal about fighting Anthony Jordan at our weekly show, seeing as my record against him has been less than stellar. I am excited; that I cannot lie about. And I suppose my sudden honesty with how my career is going is the explanation for my absence here.
::Ford gives a quiet chuckle.::
Whitey Ford: Lets face it, I'm not the technical master I used to be. Nagging injuries followed by substance abuse followed by temporary insanity and memory loss...followed by MORE substance abuse...has left me unable to match AJ in the wrestling game. Yes, you heard right...I just admitted Anthony Jordan is the better wrestler.
::Ford pauses, but holds up his finger as if to stop someone from talking, even though the room is empty.::
Whitey Ford: However, I am not saying he's the better fighter. I may not be able to execute a submission move as masterfully as our Undisputed Champion...but I sure as hell can give out a better ass kicking, and thats a fact. And so I've come to that conclusion about most of the talent here in the AWA...they can outwrestle me, but I can still kick their ass when push comes to shove.
::Whitey laughs again, shaking his head.::
Whitey Ford: And to come to think of it, nobody else has such a lack of regard for ones safety. To be honest, I don't care if this match against AJ is my last...because I'm going to put it all on the line and hold absolutely nothing back...in the most hardcore fashion.
::Ford claps his hands, and the lights pop on. The room is cluttered with various hardcore match weapons. Trash cans, kitchen sinks, stop signs, chairs...a plethora of violence litters the floor.::
Whitey Ford: Here's where it gets tricky. I'm tired of being the pure wrestler, fighting the other mans fight and trying to prove myself the better in every way possible. Thats unrealistic; thats why I've lost to AJ twice in the past. Our coming match is not a hardcore match by the billing...but in my mind it might as well be a Mick Foley special. Every chance I get I will take the time to hurt AJ in our match, whatever the way is and whatever the outcome. DQ? So be it. This is a statement that I am the most viscous and reckless man on the AWA roster, and I will prove it.
::Ford stands up and grabs a kendo stick from a trash can. He holds it like a baseball bat, taking mock swings in the air.::
Whitey Ford: And it will not end there. If I beat AJ or if he beats me, my hardcore crusade will continue. I refuse to be booked in a match after this Monday that does not have a No DQ clause. I want it added to my contract...and if this bothers the AWA brass, then they can hand me a pink slip and I'll bring my talent elsewhere.
::Whitey stops swinging the kendo stick, his voice going a bit quieter as he stares at the camera with narrowed eyes.::
Whitey Ford: This Monday will mark the dawning of a new era in the AWA...and era that will prove who wants it the most and who's not afraid to leave it all in the ring to prove so. Good luck, AJ...I think your purdy face is going to need it.
::Ford swings the kendo stick, smashing the camera a few times before it topples over and the feed goes to static.::
