It is a museum. It has museum stuff in it. To elaborate, there are numerous wooden glass cabinets with a number of artifcats all labelled. Everything looks clean and old, as I suppose must be expected. The lighting is fairly weak and there are a number of signs scattered around with bold red writing, 'Do Not Touch'. There is nobody there it is either closed or there is simply nobody interested in Roman artifacts. Footsteps can be heard, loud crisp footsteps against the wooden floor. WFWF Superstar Master of Destruction comes into view, wearing as per usual his Armani suit. He has taken his sunglasses off and they sit in the top pocket of his shirt. He is carrying a brochure from the museum and is looking intently at the cabinet closest to him. There is a sword, helmet and a hand drawn portrait in it. Underneath the portrait there is a label which says, 'Julius Caesar – Dictator of Rome – 100BC to 44BC'. Master of Destruction taps on the glass towards this portrait in recognition. He then turns and begins to speak, slowly and methodically.
“The Wrestling Figures Wrestling Federation has never been a beacon for culture. To make here you do not have to have intelligence, you do not have to be refined in anyway. The current heavyweight champion highlights this point well. It was therefore a surprise when I found out that the name of this Sunday's Pay Per View is to be called 'Veni, Vidi, Vici'. As a man who knows what he is talking about, I am going to educate you slightly, take time out of my busy schedule to discuss if I may the foundation of this phrase and how its founder for lack of a better term relates to myself and indeed everyone else in the company. You see the man who coined this pharse, Julius Caesar is credited as being one of the most influencial Roman leader ever. That phrase means 'I came, I saw, I conquered' and that is exactly accurate. Much like WFWF Rome at this time, around one hundred or so years before Jesus was born, was a pit of bribery, corruption and cheats and thieves...generally people who lacked morals. Each election, each decision was taking after huge ammounts money and threats had been given out. The only way to succeed above this was to be dirtier than the rest. To be willing to go lower than everyone else and to do things that nobody else would do. And that my friends is why I, Master of Destruction am like this great man. You see WFWF is like a lions den. What you guys at home do not get to see is the backstabbing, the bitching and the moaning that goes on. Not one day goes by when people are not having issues. There are people who stir things up so that they can get there own way and then there is me. Because I am the type of guy who sits back and watches before making my move. Fools rush in as they say. When I see that the time is right, I do what I have to do. People like Sunday's opponents Calvin Lee and Luther Castle are not as strong willed as this. They are people who cery rarely speak out, in fact very rarely do anything. And when they do, it is easily overlooked. It is people like you two who fell at the feet of Caesar and you two will fall at the feet of Total Apocalypse and myself. Caesar saw a problem and didn't moan about it or cry about. He lost battles occasionally. He was outvoted at times but he didn't think any less of himself. Calvin Lee for example loses one match and thinks it is all over for him. I may lose matches from time to time but I do not become a loser. Calvin Lee and Luther Castle you are both a pair of losers. You think nothing of yourselves which means that everybody else thinks nothing of you. Around here, myself and Total Apocalypse carry a certain degree of weight around here. People know who we are and when we walk into a room people look round and adjust themselves to suit us. Just like the working classes of Rome bowed down to their leader. You two on the other hand walk into a room and when people realise it is you two they see it is a great dissapointment. You guys are uninteresting. You have nothing to seperate you from any other tag team on the roster. You carry no reputation and no fear surrounds your name. This company needs champions that can lead them into battle. By this I mean other wrestling organisations watch us and when they see weakness in champions they see weakness in general. When me and TA walk over you two this Sunday, we will take one step in becoming the tag team champions and one step on the road to giving WFWF some credibility. We are leaders and we can be poster boys for excellence. Once again I can draw parallells to ancient times when people from around the world respected Caesar and knew that if they wanted some...they better be ready for a fight. We are people who do not lay down for anyone.”
He pauses and walks over to another part of the museum where there are yet more Roman artifacts. He spends just a few seconds surveying them before once again continuing to speak. This time a little quicker than before.
“Just like the man himself, myself and Total Apocalypse have a great list of accomplishments and achievements. Now even I can admit that our achievements might not match up to Caesar himself who did invent the modern calender and who shacked up with Cleopatra, The Queen of Egypt whilst still married. Now if that doesn't show him in an impressive light I do not know what does. Like I say, our accomplishments may not match this but in terms of WFWF we have held six championships between us, we have been dominant within the company for the last four years and there is no doubt that when people read the history of wrestling we will be a pivotal part and people will read up about us and be just as impressed as I was when I read up about Julius Caesar. He himself said, 'Cowards die many times before their actual deaths'. This quotation relates back to Luther and especially Calvin. You see you fear failure. You do not have the guts to go out and do anything you can to succeed. You have already lost anything that you ever could have had. Basically guys you are gone before a bell even rings. As much as you may have some talent and some ability in the squared circle, mentally you are weak. You're minds are dead to the fact that if you win on Sunday you are one match away from becoming tag team champions. Instead you worry about what will become of you if you happen to lose. To myself and Total Apocalypse there is no other outcome in this match except victory. We are already planning our victory party. Call it over-confidence or call it cockyness but I call it being a winner. We do what we need to do win, there is nothing that we wouldn't do for a win and there is nobody that we would not cross for a win. We are not intimidated by anyone or any challenge and that is our main advantage. You see in terms of overall wrestling talent, whilst me and TA do indeed have a huge degree of wrestling ability, more than most, you two guys are up there...technically. But you see you two are gonna be sitting there worrying about us and worrying about the outcome. We on the other hand will work out how to beat you and in the most simplistic way, we will carry this out.”
Master of Destruction clicks open easily one of the cabinets and pulls out a spear. It is a worn looking spear, which is fairly blunt. He looks at it all over and makes a couple of fake stabs and swipes with it...who wouldn't in this situation. Then, when it seems to have gotten boring for him he tosses it to the side. It makes a clatter magnifyed perhaps by the silence elsewhere. He rubs his hands together as if it was dirty and then continues to speak as if nothing had happened.
“To conclude the story of Julius Ceasar, all that needs to be said is that he was a target of many and on one fateful day he was a victim of assassination...but you must understand that it took sixty men to finish him off. Now you see myself and Total Apocalypse know that we too are wanted men. People are always trying to get one over on us and people are trying to take away our achievements and destroy our legacies. But you see as it took sixty men to ruin him and kill him...it will take more then this company has to ruin our storied careers. No matter what you want to throw at us, we will take it all because we are not like any other tag team. This Sunday is not just a wrestling match, but it will be a statement of intent. Luther Castle and Calvin Lee are going to realise that they are simply not good enough to compete with us. No matter what they want to do to us in that ring, we will be one step ahead. Live on Pay Per View we are going to roll back the clock as it were. We will win this match and then walk on to the tag team title match, where we will win that too. And then we will once again sit on top as champions in this company. We will once again have some rule and that means that we can move on up even more and eventually take this company by the scruff of its neck just like we used to. After this is all said and done, people will no be talking about EBR's mystery partner and they will not be excited by some half assed iron man main event but they will be discussing the night when Total Apocalypse and Master of Destruction came, saw and conquered!”
Seemingly impressed with himself, Master of Destruction puts his sunglasses back on and smiles smuggly. He has made his point. He takes one last look around before walking to the exit, his footsteps once again echoing loudly. There is a slam of a door and he is gone. The screen fades out to black and then to a preview for WFWF's Veni, Vidi, Vici – Live on Pay Per View.

OOC: Yeah, I'm quite satisfied with this RP, I tried to use the theme of the PPV name and think I achieved it. Again descriptions aren't great but I always think the speech is more important, and I have never been great with descriptions and got this far so...yeah, reply if you like etc etc and as always no offence meant...
