CAVO's "Stand your Ground" filters out from the speakers of the jam packed Verizon Wireless Center in Mankato, Minnesota as fans leap from their seats in an anticipation for the upcoming show. On the big screen, we see a highlight reel of various clips from VOW's past few weeks. The cameras scans around the crowd who is almost jumping the barricades from excitement for another action filled Exposure
Axel: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to episode 12 of Exposure. We have yet another amazing show to deliver VOW fans this week don't we Ruby?
Ruby: Yes we do. We had some big matches last week, but this week is even bigger. We have a main event between Vanessa and Edward Myers.
Axel: Myers and Vanessa will be a hell of a showdown, but we also have PKA back in action this week. The Xcel Champion goes one on one with the human wrecking ball that is Scott Knight. If English hadn't have used dirty tactics to get Knight Dqed from the Xcel Championship things may have gone very differently.
Ruby: I would much rather see something wrapped around Knights waist.
Ruby bites her finger a bit and raises her eyebrows at the camera. Axel just shakes his head and continues.
Axel: Another exciting match will be the red hot Ziu Zhong who defeated PKA and now sets to prove himself even further in a match tonight with The Next Level Athlete. Not to mention Reya Serra is in action tonight against Cera. After that devastating loss that week from Reya we get to see if she can bounce back against a fearsome competitor. Needles to say tensions are very high here in VOW as of late. It all begins right now with our first match. . .
Whistle Pig blasts through the PA cutting off Axel.
Axel: What the hell? He couldn't just stay home for the night. After he ashed out on Reya last week in a show of disrespect I feel as though management was trying to tell him something.
Ruby: Yeah right. It just wouldn't be an Exposure without this man enlightenment Axel.
English closes his eyes embracing the hatred of the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring. He gets in the face of fans who are yelling profanities behind the safety of the guard rail. . Sees a Star sign in the front row that a young kid if holding. English grabs it aggressively forcing the father to step forward, to which security quickly gets between the wrestler and the civilian.
Axel: What a complete a(bleep)hole!
English holds the sign up inspecting it, the words “Neon Avenger” are printed across it, with a color filled drawing of Star's face paint. English rips it right in two and slams it on the ground. The crowd erupts in boos as English walks toward the time keeper, who has a microphone already prepared for English as he does not want to deal with Casanova's abuse. English slithers in the ring microphone in hand, he stand upright and clears his throat.
Ruby: Thank God English is here. This show just got even better.
English: Hello Visionaries of Wrestling. Nice of you to greet me as warmly as always. Now I know that you all thought that you were going to get a week off. That I was going to stay home plotting my next move in this chess game. Nah, I have to educate your feeble minds any chance I get. I mean your attention spans have pretty much fallen to null. So I must continue to keep my appearances up. . . for your sake. Last week I destroyed another false idol that you hold so deep in your hearts. I beat Reya Serra for the second time. I think I taught yet another “visionary” that no one forget being in the ring with Casanova English. If you haven't noticed this is my playground. Despite my little slip up with PKA. . . I have proven to be quite the elusive snake that people like to label me as. Speaking of PKA. I think the show I put on at Heatstroke was worthy of a rematch. Now I know there is no clause, since I wasn't actually the champion, but I feel I under RESPECT! Instead I am belittled by facing off against a being so far beneath me in Star at the next PPV extravaganza.
The crowd pops huge for Star. Star his arch nemesis, he clenches his teeth at the cheers and continues.
English: Listen Space Freak. Why don't you try and get oxygen pumping to those “all natural” muscles and walk your ass down to this ring. We have a topic to discuss.
An uplifting Synth blasts through the arena as the crowd goes nuts waiting the arrival of their Neon Avenger.
Axel: Oh, be careful what you wish for. We might see a homicide before these two get to Armed and Dangerous.
They look on as the music gets noticeably longer then it normally does. Star make a dash to the ring.. On the stage Laura walks out with a microphone in hand. The fans cheer as she waves to them happily.
Laura: I am sorry, but because of rising tensions Star would not like to make an appearance. He feels as though he could not restrain himself for ripping your mortal body limb from limb!You think that he is afraid? No, he is just smart. If he ripped your head off with the Asteroid Belt before he got the chance to in that ring he would be stooping way deep down to your level. The truth is we are going to wait. . . we are going to wait because at Armed and Dangerous Star is going to put an end to your evil!
STAR! STAR! STAR! Rolls through the arena as Casanova shakes his head snickering in the ring. Casanova calmly pulls a red pack of cigarettes from his pocket, he unfolds it open and places a single white stick between his lips.
Axel: This crowd is really behind Laura. She just connects with them so well. Under her wing Star is in great hands.
Ruby: Yeah. If Star doesn't allow her to be killed first. Must I remind you how Casanova has outwitted Star time and time again. English introduced this little girl to bondage!
English: That is what I wanted to address him about specifically. I just want him to know that Frei's threats are empty. See everyone thinks this “no contact” clause in our match contract takes the ball out of my court.
Axel: I hate that he thinks that he knows what everyone thinks.
English: Well not really seeing as I won't have to worry about a behemoth trying to attack me, but more them that it gives me all the power. See I could destroy the biggest PPV match in VOW's short history by cracking the skull of Star once again. See I am the hottest talent this industry has to offer. Whether you like it or not these fans pile in here in the hopes of seeing one of their so called hero's put me in my place. I think I am making it pretty obvious. . . I am evolved. I am on another level. I can adapt like no one else, and this company. . . this company is on my shoulders. I am VOW. I am The Vision. You think I would last long on the free market?
English sparks the end of his coffin nail, and takes a deep inhale. Blowing smoke into the arena he says.
English: Then not only does Star not get his hands on me like he wishes, but poor Stephan Frei gets sent a message. A message that I will not be forced into a corner. Not now. . . not ever.
Axel: Wow, this idiot hates authority so much that he is willing to lose his job just to prove a point.
Ruby: Don't be crazy. This company depends on this man. He can do whatever the hell he wants to.
Laura: Wow English! You just keep impressing everyone with your intelligence. The truth is. . . and you know it too. That if you attack Star, if you fire that bullet. Star will kill you! Star make you pay like he has countless of forms of evil before you. The man has defeated entire civilizations. This will go beyond the ring. . . it will be personal.
English: Oh hunny. . . it already is! I know that I have broke Star down. I know that I have broken you down. If I didn't you would be in this ring face to face with me, and not down at the end of that ramp like a poor little girl waiting for her daddy to walk her across the street.
Laura stomps her foot and begins a march toward the ring. Just then Back In Black blares briefly as Stephan Frei cuts her off/ Laura stops dead in her tracks. Casanova sits in the ring wide eyed with excitement. He places his elbow in the ropes and rests his head on his palm with the cigarette billowing smoke hanging loosely from his lips. Frei stops at the ramp with a microphone in his hand.
Frei: Casanova. I don't know what you are trying to prove with your statements, but if you want an example of just how much I own you when you signed on the dotted line for this company then maybe I have to make myself clear. I won't have you disrespecting my roster, putting ashes out on Reya Serra. Physically assaulting this young lady. . .
Frei points to Laura and briefly Laura chants billow out of the VOW fans.
Frei: . . .and attacking Star. See Casanova I have dealt with your type many times in the past. Since you want to think you still have all the power, that’s fine. If you want to destroy the match these people want to see that’s on you, but if you make it to Armed and Dangerous, without breaching your contract you are in for a surprise. It is time to see if you can back up all this propaganda you spout about being the best there is. You wanted to put Starrkadian in a cage like an animal at Heatstroke? Then you will find yourself in a cage with an ENRAGED animal. At Armed and Dangerous you will find yourself looking across the ring from “The Neon Avenger” Starrkadian. . . inside a STEAL CAGE! You say your elusive. . . then lets see you escape.
The crowd pops huge as Casanova steps back seeming to be not bothered by the bold statement of Frei. Casanova backs up and takes a drag off his smoke.
Axel: YES! Now we will see justice truly be served. We will see Casanova English with no where to run, with no where to hide!
Ruby: This is a conspiracy.
English sneers at Laura who smiles at him halfway down the ramp. She begins walking to the back as Back in Black the instrumental plays through the PA. Shortly after she disappears English slides out of the ring and walks up the ramps slowly smoking a cigarette, pondering his next move.
Axel: English has dug his own grave.
