"Back in the day... I was called every name in the book."
Marco Casas opens his promo in a backstage area, sitting on stairs leading to the upper parts of the arena. He's dressed in jeans and a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt and his dark hair is slicked back and tied into a ponytail.
"And I don't mean just swear words. People called me a criminal. Women clutched their bibles and called me the devil himself. And I shrugged it off, because at the time... they were right.
I was a scoundrel, a turncoat, and I deserved every bitter pill I had to swallow. And I enjoyed it. But then, when life struck me hard and got me on my knees, I had a ton of time on my hands to realize that being the villain is not always the best way to go. That when you hang up your boots as the villain, there will be no one to welcome you home, no one to greet you on the streets... You get it. There will be no one there for you."
He sighs.
"And that's not how I want to end up. I started this whole El Proscrito thing to turn a new leaf, begin a new life. But we all know how that went... I found out the hard way that if you want to show everyone how much you've changed, the worst thing to do is hide your face when doing it. I know that at the Rotisserie Rumble, I finally begun the right path. I came to right the wrong...
Fun thing is that True North Ant's story is so, so very similar to my own. I had a friend who trusted me. He was my tag team partner too, and I started feeling like he is the weak link. So I broke up our team by attacking him, in the very center of the ring. But I didn't stop there. I beat him up, threw him to everything that was around... and ultimately, dropped him with The Sins of the Past. But that time, it was not done to end the match... I did it with aggression, I was filled with hatred... and right there and then, I nearly killed the man I once called my best friend.
Ant, we both know how this match at Cinco de Mayo will unfold. Hammerstein and Skyfire will try to go for the Twin Egg Champs, try to show they are superior, Starship Madness will try to prove themselves some more and show they belong at the top of the division... I don't care about any of that. Because me and you will not have a match, we'll have a fight. And at the end of the fight, True North Ant, you will be nothing more than the first step to my actual redemption..."
Fade to black.
