'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' Welcome once again, to the classroom of your teacher... Matt Striker. [Even larger grin] Now I don't wish to waste any time tonight because there are extremely important issues to discuss... most importantly of all my World Heavyweight title match this Monday on Underground TV. Yes, it appears that the powers that be here in Major League Wrestling have already recognised my considerable talent and knowledge and thus they have chosen myself as one of participants in a match to determine the MLW World Heavyweight champion. I must say they have made a very wise choice, because quite clearly a company like MLW needs someone like myself to represent it as the World Heavyweight champion. As World Heavyweight champion I would undoubtedly bring prestige and value to MLW... and that's something that this company really could do with. '

Striker pauses, leaning his elbows against the table and clasping his hand together just under his chin.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' You see walking around backstage at Underground TV last week was not a pleasant experience. All I saw were ignorant reprobates, there was one around every corner, whether it be a group of prostitutes like Val Venis and his revolting friends or some clearly disturbed man, Kevin Thorne, acting as a vampire. Do the powers that be really want people like that here in MLW? I certainly don't think they want anyone like that to get their hands on the World title... that's s an honour that only I am deserving of. If anybody is going to lead this company then it has to be a man of integrity, an up standing citizen and a truly inspirational figure... now nobody else here in MLW fits that bill other myself. So given all these facts you'd expect the powers that be would make it easy for me to win that title, but even a man of my intelligence simply could not understand the logic behind making my title shot a War Games match. What were the powers that be thinking? They're making it possible for that prostitute Val Venis or that madman Steven Richards to win the title, never mind that joke King Booker could even retain his title. And of course the fact that King Booker was awarded the title in the first place is equally impossible fathom. Then there's the other bizarre choice of Kimberley Page as spokesperson...  there really have been some peculiar decisions made around here and I'd really like to know exactly who's running MLW. I admit that giving me a title shot was exactly the right decision but from there things went down hill... first making it a War Games match, then awarding King Booker the title and toping it off with Kimberley Page as spokesperson... those decisions don't seem too smart to me. Now I don't want to question the intelligence of the powers that be but I won't be expecting any more strange, surprise decisions this week at Underground TV. '

Matt Striker shakes his head obviously quite disappointed in MLW management.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' Putting my problems with MLW management aside, I do have a very important match to concentrate on. It's a match that I must admit I've never experienced before, I'll be going up against three other guys, King Booker, Steven Richards and Val Venis, in a War Games match. I may not have experienced it before but I know exactly what to expect... a war. It'll be a savage, vicious match but that's nothing I'm not prepared for. I mean I certainly have no problem getting my hands a little dirty. You see I am true believer in war... sometimes it is the only way to sort the strong from the weak. It's all about the classic Darwinian principle of survival of the fittest... it states those who are strong and able will rise above the weak. This principle is evident throughout society and all over the world, whether it be in the animal kingdom where the spider for instance catches the fly or in the human world where at this very moment America's fine young men wage war against the foolish, weak Iraqi insurgents. There simply is no question about it the strong always prevail over the weak and yet another example of this will unfold on Monday night at Underground TV. It should be obvious to even you people watching at home, the ignorant masses, that I am by far the strongest competitor in all of MLW and that I will be the one man who walks away from Underground TV with the World Heavyweight title around my waist. You see not only do I naturally posses great physical strength but I also posses the mental strength and the intelligence, that my sad opponents so clearly lack. It is my intellectual strength that sets me aside as the strongest competitor in MLW and it is that strength that will take me to victory on Monday night. '

Striker appears as confident as ever in himself as he pauses to take a sip from the mug that is on his desk.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' My intelligence is so vitally important in all my matches and the War Games match is no different... the rule remains the same, brain beats brawn. All you need to do is look at every single war that has come before this one and you'll find that it always applies. I know you, my students watching this, may not have ever read from a history book in your lives so let me go over an historical example for you. The prime example must be the Great War, or the First World War as you may know it, a war that the Germans almost had won in a matter of months, and all thanks to planning. The Germans drew up the Schlieffen plan, cutting through Belgium and coming from behind the French... almost seizing Paris and ending the war straight away. It was an intelligent move that got them so close to victory but it was stupid mistakes that cost them the war... they made a gamble and threw all their troops forward in one big push, the Ludendorff offensive, and as you should know the Germans plan backfired and they got caught having left their defensive lines unprotected. From that brief history lesson you should know exactly what I mean when I say that intelligence is all that matters in warfare. It's never about the amount of men you've got and it's never about what sort of weapons you've got... so King Booker can bring his Court, Val Venis can bring his sick friends and Steven Richards can bring along whatever hardcore, ECW weapons he can find... they will be of no use to any of them. All that really matters in war is having a strategy and a plan. In history it's never been the soldiers that have mattered, you can get anybody to point a gun and pull the trigger... instead it's the generals and the strategists that who have won and lost wars... not just anybody can plan an offensive counter attack... that takes intelligence. The War Games match on Monday night will be just like the historical wars I'm referring to... it'll be brutal, it'll be bloody and most importantly it'll be the most intelligent man, the man with the plan, that comes out on top... and I think we all know who that is. '

Matt Striker finishes talking and gets to his feet, he moves over from his desk to his blackboard and begins to write a few phrases on it, such as, 'Brain over Brawn' and 'Intelligence wins Wars'. Striker then turns back to the camera and resumes speaking.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' As we are on the subject of history it all seems right to mention one of my opponents this week, King Booker. You see as far as I can tell King Booker is stuck in a time warp, back to some ancient time when Kings and Queens were actually of some importance. Nowadays nobody cares about real royalty never mind somebody who wants to dress and act like royalty. The few Kings and Queens left in this world have hardly any power at all, just look at Queen Elizabeth in the UK... she doesn't have any control over the country and she certainly doesn't create the law... instead she cuts a few ribbons and lives off the taxes of the British people. Now King Booker may like the sound of being able to live off other people's taxes, but this is the United States of America and this isn't a country that believes in royalty.  This country was founded on the notion of breaking away from concepts like royalty, we don't believe in archaic ideas like it. People shouldn't gain money and a life of luxury just because of the family they're born into... they should have to work for their money and most importantly they shouldn't be supported by the good, honest taxpayers. I really don't know what country or century King Booker thinks he's living in but in the real world nobody cares about his little act. I only think of him as Booker T, one of the men who I'm going to humiliate this Monday night. Of course I also have other opponents too, opponents who are practically as laughable as King Booker. There is Val Venis who I all but defeated last week, if it wasn't for the deluded King's interference then I would have hit the Golden Rule and I would've recorded a debut victory. I suppose after that I have some unfinished business with him and I hope he understands that I still have every intention of making sure he finds his way out of MLW. As far as I'm concerned this is no place for porn stars like himself, he's a filthy, disgusting man and frankly I think it's an insult that I have to step into the ring with him. It's equally insulting to my wrestling ability that I should have to face Steven Richards... a man who hasn't won a match in years, he spent his whole time in the WWE losing to fellow jobbers and I'm quite simply above people like him. There's a simple explanation for his poor performances over the years... he's insane, and the mentally unstable generally are going to struggle with whatever they're trying to do. It may seem a little harsh to brand him as insane but the man hears things, he hears voices... and that's just not normal. How anybody in his state of mind can be expected to win a match is beyond me... I don't even know if he's fit to wrestle. '

Matt Striker shakes his head and moves a little closer to the camera.

'YOUR TEACHER' MATT STRIKER: ' On Monday night at Underground TV, Steven Richards, Val Venis and King Booker will all be walking away empty handed. My vastly superior intellectual strength and my intelligence are what will win me the war and what will me the World Heavyweight title. Wars simply aren't won by the deluded, the insane or by prostitutes... they are won by intelligence... and because of that the new name on the World Heavyweight title will be... Your Teacher... Matt Striker! '

Striker grins widely once again as the picture fades to black.
