Where It All Started 521134

Shot opens up outside what looks to be an abandoned church. Looks like it's on the verge of being condemned. It sticks out like a sore thumb as it's situated off the highway out in Fort Worth, Texas, not too far from TCU. It's a warm, but not hot, fall night as David Broom, dressed jeans and white polo shirt with red stripes, walks into the scene. Laken, dressed in a white dress with red stripes, isn't too far behind.

DAVID BROOM
Dowtown Tabernacle in Fort Worth, Texas. This is where it all began and ended for my parents. They started off like a lot of ministers gone astray start off, with little to no money, working during the week to help get their church off the ground. Then they met with some people who had connections and were able to get them television time. They started making money hand over fist, and before you know it, not only did they have enough that they could quit working, but they had enough to build them this big, swank building. Now one would be wondering "How did they get so many donations so fast?" Well, they didn't. You see, my parents never practiced what they preached to those in attendance and to those watching on television. They made money running a prostitution ring, turning their ministry into a den of thieves. As I got older, I began saving the money I'd make in allowances and working on the weekends and during the summer so that I could get away from the cesspool that my parents were dragging themselves into. I moved out just in the nick of time, because not too long after I moved out, my parents were busted, and they are still in jail to this day. And to this day, I refuse to visit them. They were such hypocrites, living a lie, and I cannot have anything to do with that, lest I go down the same path.

What does any of this have to do with this Friday night when Luke Lethal and I take on P2H to determine the first ever SWE Tag Team Champions in SWE history? Well, let's take our opponents, Phillip Phillips and Anton Hinston. They claim that they're fighting for the fans. They claim that they love the fans, when Luke, Sev, Laken and I all know the truth. We all know that deep down, P2H don't give a damn about the fans. They love the fans' money, and that is it. Just like my parents. They didn't love the members of their church, or the loyal viewers they had watching their television show. They loved the money they swindled from them, telling them "Send us big money, and God will give you even more!" Money that helped fund the hookers that worked in their prostitution ring.

LAKEN
You know what sickens me, David? The fact that you, Luke, Sev and myself will flat out tell everyone "Hey, this is who we are, this is what we do." We let people know up front that we're not nice people. We make no bones about the fact that we're going to do whatever it takes to be at the top of SWE. Meanwhile, guys like Phillip Phillips and Anton Hinston flat out lie to the fans, talking about how they're grateful for the fans' support, when we all know that they're the first guys to try and blow off the fans to and from the airports, the cabs, the rental cars. Yet who do the fans hate? Us. And who do the fans love? Them. It's enough to make me vomit.

DAVID BROOM
It makes me sick to my stomach as well. But eventually, the truth will come out, and the fans will be wishing that they had listened to us. They'll be wishing that they didn't shun us. But that's OK. Like a wise man recently said... We'd rather be hated for what we are, then to be loved for what we're not. We're bad... Bad to the bone.

David and Laken walk off as the shot fades to black.
