We fade into a shot of Antonio Benito working out in a gym. Antonio is working hard and is trying his best to be in the best shape of his life on Sunday. Antonio looks at the camera man as he continues his dead lift and begins to speak.
Antonio Benito: Quince competidores, fifteen competitors, all in one match trying to determine the number one contender to a belt. Quince competidores all trying there hardest to win a shot at a piece of gold wrapped around a man’s weight. Quince competidores praying to Dios begging for a shot to be etched in history. Yet I look at my catorce competidores and they don’t seem to be working hard to get this shot they all seem to be striving for. Here I am working out, yet Senor Ronald is in a church preaching, and Senor Disciple is spending time trying to push students to their best. I spend time in this gimnasio, yet my opponent is in Rome playing with fire and my amigo Israel is sitting backstage smoking a pipe. I wonder do they all feel comfortable with their ability to win? Or do they just not see anyone as competition? I do not know why they are doing these things instead of preparing for our match, but they are maybe it is just me and I don’t feel confident in the fact that I can win this match on Domingo.
Antonio drops the weights and takes a towel wiping off his chest. Antonio walks over to the treadmill and begins to walk.
Antonio Benito: I feel afraid of losing which is why I’m working so hard. I feel afraid of losing because I have to fight not one, but two matches on Domingo. I’m the only man involved in this Royal Rumble who will have to wrestle twice in one night. So I have to work harder than every competidore in this match. I won’t let myself be too out of shape to win this match which is why I’m training as hard as I can every day so that I will not be able to say I was not prepared on Domingo. I can’t sit around and go to Rome, preach to a congregation, play with toys backstage, and influence young teenagers, as I need to focus on being at the best I can be on Domingo when I face Justin Sane, and catorce competidores in two different matches.
Antonio continues to run and wipe sweat off of his chest. He doesn’t wipe his face much as it is covered by his mask.
Antonio Benito: The first match I have to compete in will be a hell in a cell match against someone who has crucified me, beaten up my best friend, spit fire in my face, and kidnapped my wife. Justin and I will do more than just try and pin each other. I’m sure Justin has something horrible in store for me, and I know I have something horrible in store for him. I can’t lie to all of you and tell you that the Battle Royal is more important to me than beating Justin because it isn’t. I have to focus on one match at a time, as if I do not win I will be fired by Senor Byson so I will not make it to the Battle Royal. Now last week as I was knocked out Justin mentioned that he had changed me, and I will be the first to admit he’s right. I can barely think straight, all I think about is getting venganza on Justin. I lie awake at night thinking of putting Justin in his place and walking away on Domingo with my wife. Justin has changed me from the fun loving Antonio Benito I was when I first came to ICW, into a monstruo who is consumed with hatred and dying for venganza. I would be lying to say that Justin will not hurt me though, as I know he will be able to hurt me, and I’m sure I will hurt myself trying to hurt him. I will do everything in my power though to defeat Justin Sane, and then win my wife back and go onto the Battle Royal where I will face catorce competidores in one of the toughest matches in ICW history.
Antonio begins to turn up the speed of the treadmill as he takes a sip of water. Antonio is now at a running pace as he continues to talk.
Antonio Benito: Phoenix, The Kneeling Disciple, Logan Black, Daniel Fenrir, Ronald Williams, CJ Tyler, Harry Collinsworth, Hustla, Nightkrow, Lucas Fox, Bill Nye, Isabella Luna, Ralph Nader, and my amigo Israel Adams are all competing in this match. I know I don’t stand a good chance of winning as I have to fight another match, and I will be exhausted if I have to compete in the Last Man Standing match against someone else. But that is why I am working out so hard, so that I know I will be in the top shape of my life on Domingo. This match is one of the most unique I’ve ever heard of. You have to pin your opponents to eliminate them, you don’t have to throw them over the top rope but you have to pin them, which means you have to have incredible endurance to withstand catorce competidores trying to pin you and still be able to kick out. It requires incredible strength to wear everyone else out and beat them up so that you can pin them. And it requires incredible smarts because of the added twist to this match. You see once you eliminate someone they go to the outside where if someone falls out of the ring they can then pin that person and eliminate them. So it requires incredible smarts to manage to find a way to eliminate people and manage to not get pinned yourself. This match will determine who is truly deserving of getting a shot at the belt.
Antonio steps off the treadmill, and wipes his sweaty body off. Antonio appears to have stopped working out as he takes a sip of water, but he immediately goes over to where he can bench press weights and he begins to bench press some weights.
Antonio Benito: It does not bother me that I am the underdog in this match because of my height and the fact that I have to compete in more matches than anyone else. Because I’ve been this height my entire life, and I’ve always been the underdog. When I would get in fights at school I was the underdog. When I was in prison, I was picked on and I was the underdog. When I came to ICW I was and still am the biggest underdog in ICW. I understand that I will naturally be more tired than any of the superstars in the match as I will have fought Justin earlier, but I do not care cause I know I am going to be in the best shape of my life on Domingo. And I don’t care if people think that I will be too focused on getting Justin to worry about fighting them. And if they think I’m going to be the hell bent monstruo I was, then they are wrong cause on Domingo, it will be me, Antonio Benito. Antonio Benito the man who loves to smile, and the man who loves to prove everyone wrong.
Antonio places the weights back on the shelf as he gets more weights on the bar, and then he goes and begins bench pressing it.
Antonio Benito: Everyone can assume everything they want to about me, cause nothing gives me that rush like proving people wrong. So you go ahead and believe I’ll be to focused on Justin to worry about you, and then when I pin you inside that ring on Domingo you won’t know what happened to you. So you go ahead and try and take me out early because your afraid of the monstruo I’ve become, but one thing Justin has given me through this whole ordeal is that he’s taught me to never be knocked down and just stay down. So you come at me with everything you’ve got, but I will still kick out. And if I’m thrown out of the ring to doce competidores and they may all try to pin but I will kick out every time. It does not matter to me what you do to me as I will not be defeated. The underdog will not be defeated by people who are to busy going to rome, playing with plastic toys, talk about school teachers, a man who preaches while he should be prepping, or even Byson’s right hand woman. Because while they all will spend time thinking about good metaphors to use to psiquis everyone out, I Antonio Benito will be training hard. And while everyone spends their time thinking about how cool it would be to win, I Antonio Benito will be winning this match on Sunday. That is right you heard it, I Antonio Benito, the biggest underdog in ICW history will win the first ever Endless Battle Royal at Last Man Standing. Not because I’m more talented, not cause I psiquis everyone out before I came out, not cause I have more strength or speed than anyone, but Because I Antonio Benito spent time training for this match instead of my catorce competidores. So on Domingo I will win the first Hell in a cell in ICW history to keep my job, and then I will win the first ever Endless Battle Royal in ICW history and go onto main event Summerbrawl. I don’t care if I’m the underdog against Justin or the other catorce competidores I will face on Domingo I will win. Cause remember everyone even the underdog can be on top.
Antonio is struggling as he pushes up the weight one more time, but he finally manages to get it up and he places it back on the bar. Antonio then stands up as he finally appears to be done when he begins to walk over to the door. But suddenly Antonio turns around and hops on the treadmill one more time.
Fade Out.
