Somewhere in London's West End...well, not really somewhere, it's pretty obvious where this is taking place. The camera pans up to the giant electronic billboards of Piccadilly Circus, advertising various brands that have been blurred out for copyright and trademark reasons. It moves back down and moves left to the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, where despite the large crowds we can see Kolic sitting with arms crossed and legs perched on the steps. He starts a round of mock applause as the camera catches up to him.
Kolic: Brava, Munin, brava. You put on such a masterful performance as ringmaster that I simply had to keep the theme going. So, here I am, in the oddly named Piccadilly Circus, seeing as how there isn't an elephant or human cannonball to be found. No matter, that's not the topic of conversation anyway. Let's discuss all the wicked barbs you threw my way.
First off, I thought it was a bit funny that you made a point of criticizing me on my lack of promotion for our match at Storm. I forget, isn't it you who cares about saving this company, not me? I could only slightly care less about getting people to tune in for our fight, so it really should have been on you to hype it. Nice job with that by the way, since for all your shots about me giving a half-hearted effort, you didn't bother to show up until the week of the show. What's the proper term for that, irony? Hypocrisy? Whichever one it is, it did make me laugh a bit. Kind of like how you pretty much copied and pasted Eva's statements about me giving less than a full effort, and yet you were ready to make a return to GZW just to give me backup against my foes. I mean, come on! You really thought nobody would catch on to that? One month I'm a worthy enough cause to take you out of a self-imposed retirement with your psychotic boyfriend and adopted adult son, and the next, I'm the same ol' "sizzle but no steak" guy you've known for years to not be worth any kind of investment. That assertion is so idiotic, I'm pretty sure it gave me cancer.
A bunch of tourists move in front of the camera, causing Kolic to pause but giving him a chance to collect his thoughts.
Kolic: Oh, by the way, I'll concede a point and admit that "hero" was probably the wrong word to describe you, Eva, and Tamer. Clearly you're "Anti-Heroes/Heroines" at best, and "Draco in Leather Pants" at worst. Yes, that's a thing, look it up. Here's the thing though: to all the confused GZW fans out there, you three really are their "heroes". In a world of pitch black, the slightly lighter shades of gray you claim to be look almost bright white by comparison. It is in that sense that I used the term to describe you three. The truth is, though, there is no gray in this world. Everything really is black and white, and people like you try to muddle the two to find the shade you're most comfortable being.
As for not showing mercy, you must be quite deluded if you didn't think I realized that until you said it to me. I know what your capabilities are and I've prepared more than you would think for them. Don't you mistake me for anything but an equally dangerous competitor, simply because I don't yap as much as you all do. Tamer will tell you what I can do, since you ladies seem to have no clue. Indeed, let's get this party started. I'll be first up for the game of Pin the Munin on the Mat.
