Thor stood in the center of his office staring at the XVI Xtreme Title that graced the wall behind his desk over the window. He look at that title remembering the legacy that the belt represented. He had been the last to hold the belt before it had been merged with the the XVI World Title to create the XVI Universal Title. A belt he had been seconds from winning the night of its inception. The title he had just been screwed out of getting a shot at the night before.
As he stands there Thor slowly shrugs out of his now all to familiar black cloak. He absentmindedly lets it fall to the floor behind him as he turns around. The XVI Elite Title revealed on his waist where it was now a part of his normal appearence. He was now wearing the rest of his customary all black out fit. His face is slowly revealed to the light and his expression is one of utter distaste and extreme displeasure with life in general and several things in particular.
One only had to think back to the last Underground Assault to know what had put such a paint pealing look on the face of the one and only "Heart and Soul of XVI." Thor grins darkly as he steps towards the back wall of his office and touches a book in the bookcase causing it to slide to the side. Thor licks his lips and the tips of his fangs as he steps into the now revealed passageway.
Several moments later the passage ends in a small room with a black sheet covered table. Thor pulls back the sheet and starts laugh as he sees the reminders of the past. The black leather biker jacket and the nine tailed braided barbwire/razor whip lay on the polished wood like relics from a lost era. A unknown chapter of Thor's past.
"The past it seems is not always left alone. It at times gets your attention with a rapid hit to the skull with a sledge hammer. There is a saying about how your future is the results of the past come to haunt you. Well if that is the case I would prefer to look at it this return of the past as the return of a chance."
Thor starts to laugh maniacally as he picks up the black leather jacket and slips it on. As he it settles around his shoulders he stretches a bit and then does a few twists to gauge the jacket's fit. Within seconds he had ascertained that the jacket still fit his form as perfectly as it had the last time he had worn it.
"The past can at times be like an old set of clothes. Comfortable and easy to wear. Now with this jacket begins the reinvention of what it means to be been me years ago. I have waited for this for a while. Now have you ever seen the effects of certain actions that need to be taken to ensure success. Commit just that and enjoy the results"
Thor reaches out to the table and picks up the pair of black sun glass that had been under the jacket and slips them on before picking up the whip. He lets the ends of the flesh tearing metal caress the floor as he turns around and walks back up the passage way to his office. Once in the office he sees the cloak on the floor and kicks it out of the way as the hidden door shuts with a soft click.
With that he makes his way the ring and the tails of his nine tailed whip whisper across the floor as he walks. Moments later he is standing in the ring having encountered no one back stage. Once in the ring he stand there looking out on the crowd as the braided metal strands flick against the mat.
"I am going to say this only once so listen up. I am sick of you spineless worms cheering as I continually get betrayed and screwed in the center of this very ring every time I come close to taking this company to the next level. Well I have had enough of it. I am here to tell you that there comes a time for us all to under go a reinvention. A change of self if you will. Well you pathetic maggots look at the new me. Or rather a person I used to be. you have heard Nikolai King say that he is one of my friends. Oh at one point we were more than just friends. We were comrades."
Thor stands there with a crooked grin as the crowd sits there in shocked silence as the last of Thor's words echo through the arena. The silence is broken by the cracking metallic twinge of his whip strands as he flicks his wrist. This was a disturbing sight and none of them knew how to react to this new Thor.
"At one point the two of us were brothers in arms in a cause that many of you would find to be beneath your notice. Well you have heard his views on the world. I agree with him when he says you are all a bunch of weak willed spineless cowards. You all are a pack of rabid mongrels. You are all so easy to manipulate. All it takes to draw your attention is a bit of blood or something shiny. But I am sure you scum bags want to hear what brings me out here in the first place."
Thor falls silent as the crowd takes in a shocked hissing breath as they try to take in the attitude that Thor was showing them. Thor just starts to laugh as he sees the crowd's incomprehension. It was both sad and amusing at the same time.
"I have one reason for bing out here you pathetic morons. I have a match this week against the man who screwed me out of my Universal Title shot at at Payback, Justin Evans. Oh I know you are sitting there quite pleased with the fact that Prozac is new number one contender. Like I said you are a pack of fickle weak minded scum bags. It doesn't matter I am going to show you all that I should have been the one in the main event at Payback. Justin I am sure you are pleased with yourself. Oh well I have been given a chance to exact my revenge on you. For that I have to thank Mr. Plumtree."
Thor laughs as he hears the audible intake of breath from the audience as he the name of the hated XVI Chairman of the Board is mentioned.
"Now Justin we will be strapped together and forced to drag each other around the ring as we try to touch the ring posts in order. Now rest assured that I will be doing everything I can to make you bleed before making the end of the match. I can assure you that I will make your life a living hell as you descend into the my realm. As for you unworthy meat bags in the stands the time for a reckoning is near at hand for in time I will have the prize that has been so long denied me."
Thor turns to leave the ring and then stops with a laugh as he remembers something. He looks back at the fans and grins.
"I have been alluding to there being a new boss coming up in the XVI. Well everything will become clear at Payback. But on to something else. Nikolai old friend I am glad you accepted my invitation join the XVI roster. Well I think it is time we set aside some time to talk about old times. What do you say comrade?"
Thor grins as he drops the microphone on the floor then leaves the ring with the strands of his wire whip flicking on the ground. As he walks away the scene shifts to that of a Wal-Mart commercial.
