All around the World it's the same "Song"

[Top Tier Terry]

Inside the LDFC video room is Terrence Tillman. He sits alone in the center of the room with a remote on the small school style desk in front of him. On the big screen in front of him is the closing moments of Triple T’s first match in the LDFC, a match he lost. Noticing the camera he smiles slightly, pauses the video and begins to speak. 

TRIPLE T: You see that guy right there? That guy got his ass kicked that night. That guy sulked and went home, and thought long and hard about giving up. Everyone liked that guy. He was great! No one took him seriously. The first time he walked into the Training Facility after that loss, no one paid him any attention. No one cared. But then something happened. He didn’t give up, he kept fighting, He got knocked down but kept getting back up over and over and over again until it got really hard to knock him down. In fact he started being the one knocking others down. Now all of a sudden he’s not liked anymore, now he’s got a problem that EVERYONE feels they need to solve. Now when he walks into the LDFC Training Facility there are dozens of eye stabbing at him like daggers. The side looks the mumbling…he’s public enemy number one solely for doing what everyone else wants to do. And what’s funny is he’s not even the champion…yet.

Tillman stands to his feet and walks over to a window. Looking outside he takes a deep breath and begins again. 

TRIPLE T: So here we are another Pride and I’m in a 6 man tag match. More moving parts, more dangers, and partners I don’t even know…what could go wrong?


Well first we have my partners 420 B.C. These girls have been her for a while and are going from good to great! But they keep to themselves and they are very close…making me the third wheel in this equation…now add the fact I just faced off with Serenity a few weeks ago and you have a very uneasy situation. But if they keep it cool with me…I’ll keep it cool with them.

And then we have our opponents…opponents…

Triple T pauses for a moment. He drifts off as if he is thinking about the next thing he says.
 

TRIPLE T: Can someone answer a question for me? Why do we have to do this again? I mean is there a Triple T Haters club or something? Like Kuntz built a little tree house fort and Majima decorated the inside with Anti-Triple T posters. Hana is in charge of drinks and cupcakes, and everyone just sits around Baroness telling stories about being salty? I mean come on! Every week I’m someone’s “target”. Every match someone is going to prove this or that. “I’m taking you down Tillman!” “You have fans so I hate you!” Really? So now you’re going after me because I’m the number one contender? Not the actual champ mind you… no one seems to have issue with the actual Apex Champion. But my in ring success pisses you off to the point where now you feel the need to come after me?


Hana Song, you don’t have to hide in the trees and lay under logs stalking Triple T. Triple T stands in the center of the ring each and every Pride so all you have to do is slink your sassy self on down to the ring. But understand something. Having a target on my back ain’t new. I got laser sights on me backstage and at the training center all the time and the numbers are growing week by week. What you fail to realize is that I thrive on it. I welcome it. If I’m going to be the best I have to take on all the rest and if you are the next in a long line so be it. But make no mistake you are not hunting a defenseless animal…Your hunting the Pride of the LDFC!


Crimson Baroness…really? E tu Brute? You know we don’t always see eye to eye but I thought we here at least civil. But I guess I was wrong huh? I need to be humbled? You criticize my relationship choices calling them “bounce toys” with made in Taiwan imprinted on your ass? I don’t care how many cups, bowls, plates or saucers you carry with you, on your best day you couldn’t hang with “the Pride”.


Baroness, Song, Valcone, Cindy, Marsha, Greg, Billy, whoever…

Triple T points to the screen paused on a shot of him lying in the ring defeated. 

TRIPLE T: That’s not Triple T anymore! This is! Get used to it! Cause I ain’t going nowhere!
