Bruised challenger

When ''Hate me now'' hit the speakers the fans errupted in boos, hatred was really getting shown towards the Danish-Dream.
He walks out from behind the curtains and the booing gets louder.
He was wearing his street clothes; black Converse, a set of jeans, his 'HateClub' armband and his old white T-Shirt with the word 'Hate' printed on in black. He was limping a bit and he looked to have a bandage around his stomach. He might have gotten those bruises from the fall off the ladder in the Sadistic Six match.
He slowly entered the ring between the third and second rope. He was handed a mic from the ring personnel and started speaking.

Anton Hinston
Past friday, I lost my change at the World Championship.
I lost the match because of one thing. I trusted Phillip Phillips.

The fans errupted in cheers for Phillip Phillips

Anton Hinston
I made a mistake. You wanna hear something?
I would have done the same thing. I was right about to destroy Philly but he hitted me first.
As you can see from that, me and Philly aren't that different. The only two things is, that I don't lie about why I am here in SWE. I am here for the money and the fame. The other thing is, that he is cheer for his lies, I am booed for my truthful mind. Philly, I wan't you and me in this ring tonight!

The fans cheers for the match, that would be legendary.

Anton Hinston
But I wan't it to be in a falls count anywhere match! So what do you say, huh?

He drops the mic and lean up against the ropes, waiting for Phillip Phillips to come out to the ring.

After a huge gust of hate towards Anton Hinston, their boos quickly transitioned into cheers as soon as Across the Nation blared through the speaker system. Phillip was holding a microphone and also wearing his street clothes. He slowly walked down the ramp then began to speak.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
Anton, are you kidding?

He chuckled.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
If you trusted me so much, why'd you leave P2H and claim that I "sicken" you? Nice try, Anton. But your lies won't get pass these fans and sure as hell won't get past me either.

He shook his head and raised an eyebrow.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
Anyways, that was a brilliant choice you made there, Anton. Falls count anywhere is my specialty. So don't let your guard down anywhere, whether it's at ringside, on the stage, or even backstage, because I can and will pin you wherever the hell I want. In other words, I would (and will) accept your challenge in a heartbeat.

After quieting to listen to Phil speak, the crowd cheered again in excitement for the match that was to come.

Anton Hinston picked up the mic again and started speaking before Phillip could start talking again

Anton Hinston
My lies? I trusted you for ten seconds and I regret it because it costed me the match, we all now that. I would have won if it wasn't for that. You do sicken me. Telling theese people that you love them, when deep doen, you only love the money and the fame. I love that too, but the thing that sickens me, is that you say that isen't why you are here in SWE.
It was a brilliant choice, you say? I don't care what match I beat you in because at the end of the day, all that matters is, getting the win. A thing you hasen't really been able to get lately, have you?

He took the mic down and waited for Phillips respond

Phillip raised an eyebrow again.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
Yeah, and if Luke Lethal hadn't pinned me I would've won, too. Anton, that's completely irrelevant. Everyone would've won if something hadn't happen to eliminate them. But things did happen, and 5 out of 6 men were eliminated. That's how it works.

He shook his head, then continued.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
And Anton, you don't even know me. I know myself better than anyone else, and the truth is, I do love these fans. I won't lie, fame is nice. But it's not a requirement. I could care less whether I was famous or not, as long as I'm doing what I love and I have these people to love me doing what I love. It's a dream come true, it really is.

The crowd cheered, and Phillip grinned.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
I mean, has anybody else notice how it's always the ones that are booed that go around calling the fan-favorites "liars"? Seriously, guys. Jealously is never the answer. You know, a wise man once said: "winning isn't everything". And he was damn right.

Anton Hinston
Yeah you should no, you never win!

He grinned and the fans booed

Anton Hinston
Come on! That was funny! Okay maybe not funny but it's the truth. You won ones. One out of five. Really? Is that the best you can do? No wait! You would do better now! So you didn't give your all when you do the thing you love? That makes no sense. Philly you are on a wrong path. You are a liar, Philly.
A liar.

Phillip rolled his eyes and ran a hand through his hair in frustration.

PHILLIP PHILLIPS
Anton, a fucking lemon would provide better conversation than you. When did I ever say I was going to win? I said I was going to try harder to win. I never claimed that I was positive about actually doing so. You know what? Maybe I haven't been giving my all. But that doesn't mean I don't love this business. I guess all the lights were getting to my head or something, but the point is, now I'm striving to do better. It's all about now. Not the past. Not the future. The present. Now.

Again, he shook his head confusedly in pity at Anton.

Anton Hinston

Getting mad, huh? Save it for our match later tonight. I would beat your ass now but I want you 100 procent ready to fight later. I will give you my best, as I always do when I step in that ring, and I will make it four weeks in a row.



He drops the mic and ''Hate me now'' re-hits the speaker. He taunts to the fans and leaves Phillip Phillips standing alone in the ring.
