"Mercy, huh?"
The scene opens to a stark contrast: a white wall with a man dressed all in black in front of it. It's much like the conflict with the person himself, one of the few good guys in his business who seemingly shattered this image with a dark act at Anniversary Armageddon. He currently has his head down; he either doesn't want to meet the camera's metaphorical eyes, or refuses to acknowledge its existence entirely. Would he divulge his reasons? Or would he just challenge his one time ally's vicious remarks?
Kolic: It's funny you talk about mercy. Would you believe I showed it to you? Or were you still unconscious and couldn't hear it? As much as everyone wants to think I'm somehow commanding Clan Mayhem, I didn't order them to attack you, or anyone. They already planned on that. What I did was make sure they didn't leave anyone paralyzed for life in the ring. But you won't accept that, I know, even though I didn't even harm you in any way directly. I had an easy opportunity, and I didn't take it, yet that somehow makes me out to be the greatest evil walking the "wasteland" in your eyes? Out of all the borderline, and sometimes literal, criminals who have walked GZW's halls, because of one act...I've become the Devil incarnate?
Now he looks at the camera, and instead of guilt or rage, all he shows is steely resolve. This was not the Kolic willing to make an obscure joke or self-depreciate to ease tension. This version is all business.
Kolic: You're right, my goal wasn't to hurt any of you personally. That's the thing. Eva, if you asked me face-to-face, I would still call you a friend. I recognize and appreciate all you've done for and with me over the years. You're a hard fighter and an awesome mom to your kids. But you won't hear any of that. No, all that apparently gets cancelled out by one action in the ring. Is that the thing you and Leon keep talking about? How there's no separation between the business and your personal lives? I guess that helps you go all out in the ring, but it really sucks for your life outside of it. Your friendships and relationships are only as deep as what we do in those arenas. But...I suppose if you've already torched that bridge to ashes, I can't drive over it pretending it's still there. It's a shame too, I guess we'll never finish that game of Words With Friends.
He chuckles a bit, though it's more sarcastic than sincere.
Kolic: Is that more like me? The Kolic you all thought you knew? It's a part of me, sure, but it's more of an ambassador to this corrupt world that I used to make connections with all of your better aspects. None of you would have accepted me if I was 100% myself. You talk of selling my soul, of abandoning my morals? No. My soul was bought with blood, and my morals have never changed. But neither have any of you. So screw it, I'm done trying to make you better, because that hasn't worked. Clan Mayhem may be as rotten as anyone in GZW, but as long as they're trying to break down this company, I have no problem letting them do so.
So in summary Eva, I do hate that my professional actions were misinterpreted as being so personal. That's your fault though, not mine. And you're partially right, I did fight for this company for a long time. But the truth is...I haven't been doing that for months. I've given up on trying to turn around this cesspool that calls itself a wrestling federation, on waiting for allies who join me when it's convenient for them. So call up all of your hatred, even though it's misplaced. Tap into the Nemesis to take down someone who, in the real world, would still go bowling with you. It doesn't matter to me anymore. Your wasteland, your world, your playground, will burn. And I won't save it anymore.
He hangs his head again as the camera fades out.
