Pennyworth is accosted by Ronnie Stockholm when coming out of the medical room.
STOCKHOLM: Richard Pennyworth, I'm looking for a few words on what happened tonight.
PENNYWORTH: A few words? Stockholm, I've got more than just a few words. But I'll try to keep it brief. Two season-ending pay-per-views in a row now, I've been unjustly assaulted by The Union. Fortunately, this time was not nearly as devastating, and I've already been cleared by the PWA medical staff to compete again. So thankfully, I haven't lost my earned title shot thanks to their cowardly actions.
PENNYWORTH: Speaking of cowardly, once again, Akira Wyld showed his stripes. I was looking forward to a touch of revenge, taking his title from him. I was looking forward to a triple-threat match. I was looking forward to Wyld finally getting what was coming to him. But, like the chicken-shit that he is, Akira Wyld bravely tucked his tail between his legs and ran away. He knows he can't beat me. He knows I was in his head. He knew that when that match ended, I would have been NWC World Champion -- and the Union can't have that. Can't have a major dominating stable without holding a title, now can we? So of course they schemed, and plotted, and not only did Akira not compete or put his title on the line, but they violently attacked not only the legitimate competitors who were actually doing their job, but Gary Bloomfield, sitting at ringside talking about the match.
PENNYWORTH: But all of that, Stockholm, is water under the bridge at the moment. I'll have to deal with it at a later time, because I was able to retain my title shot. In just a couple of days, Mac and I step back into the ring for a title shot. The fact is...I don't like Mac. I find him to be a bit hot-tempered, his brand of hard-hitting in your face wrestling goes against everything I've trained to be. I'm one of the best submission artists in PWA today. I'm a technical wrestler. What he is, to me, is just a thug playing dress-up. But the fact is, he's damned good at what he does, and he is the PWA Heavyweight Champion for a reason. I don't have to like him to respect him. I have no personal enmity towards the champ. But since this is the shot I have...this is the shot I'm taking. No hard feelings, Mac, but I'm taking your belt.
Pennyworth walks off without looking back.
STOCKHOLM: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. A very determined Richard Pennyworth looking forward to his title shot at PWA Reckoning.Statistics: Posted by Pennyworth — Sun Mar 10, 2019 5:01 pm
