Orion Slayde
Slayde appears on stage to a very mixed reaction from the crowd in which the boos overtake the cheers directed at "The Shadow" as he now heads to the ring, sliding under the ropes and taking a mic placed for him in the center of the ring with a confident smile upon his face before he begins to speak.
Slayde: Last week.....
Crowd boos heavily interrupting Slayde for a moment but again he gives a coy smile before continuing to speak.
Slayde:....Elric, shocked the world by picking a 3 Stages of Hell Match for our encounter at Destined for Immortality. A fitting match for what we will go through on that day...Hell.
Crowd boos again with great intent.
Slayde: Why is it that you people feel the need to boo my words? Much less boo my actions? What makes you understand why I've done what I've done and decide me to be the villain to your superhero, Elric?
Crowd murmurs among themselves unsure on how to answer
Slayde: Exactly.
Actions have purpose. They hold greater meaning than many may even believe possible yet people question the actions of many including my own because it's deemed as good or evil. Actions are the aftermath of our decisions and you all made the decision to put Elric on the back burner of your minds because you did not understand his actions as "The Punisher of Pain" because you made it so that you would never see the potential behind such a man until you saw it fit.
Would you still clamor for Elric if he did not have purpose? If he did not came to reach his mission of punishing pain? I made it so you that would by making sure my actions towards him deserved to be punished. So that you would you open your eyes and see the man I saw, much like my mentor saw the man in me and made it clear I should do the same in time when the right person came along.
Boos rain down on Slayde but are signs of acknowledgement in his words as he goes on.
Slayde: Elric knows he needs to fulfill his mission and the 3 Stage of Hell Match is perfect for it. We are to go through a Tables, Last Man Standing and should it be necessary a Submission Match. Each match more intense than the last and with the stakes so high so high for Elric to live up to his moniker question becomes, is Elric ready to know how I earned mine?
"From the depths of the shadows of darkness is only when people see the light at it's brightest."
Words that have been with me for years now as spoken by my mentor and the truth behind them was so rich in value that I knew I had to be the shadow to show people the light. Hell is something we live through everyday some more than others, but whenever we are our lowest and you feel the shadows darkness surround you...that's it....that's when you have to fight with all your might to be the best you can be. Elric will soon learn that lesson.
I'll put him through a table,render him unconscious to answer a 10 count and even after those matches have assured me the victory, I'll make him tap for the hell of it.
Boos have lessened but remained there all the same as Slayde continues.
Slayde: I said last week, Elric. In this 3 Stages of Hell Match, I'll either make you live up to your potential or I'll break you in half without breaking a sweat and that's a promise I plan on keeping so help me-
Victor Elric

Elric's theme interrupts Slayde mid-sentence as The Punisher makes his way to the ring to the cheer and praise of the crowd
Elric: Slayde...For the past few weeks you have claimed that your assaults and attacks on me were to push me, to make these people see the real "Punisher of Pain". That is not the truth.
Elric enters the ring and looks on at Slayde
Elric: The truth if the matter is you needed an in. A way to break into IWA, and you picked me as a target. Hoping to make a name outside your floundering tag team of The Shadows of Madness. You were going no where fast so you ambushed me. You choose what you thought would be a weak target and came out with a bullshit story about pushing me to past my potential.
Elric's eyes shifts around a bit
Elric: Slayde, you talk about light and darkness, but the truth is I only see the world in gray. There is no good, there is no evil. Only an individual and the path they choose. You chose the path that will eventually lead to your downfall.
Slayde laughs at Elric, Elric does not take the laughter too kindly and pushes Slayde back to which Slayde smiles before speaking
Slayde: There you go. Do it. Punish those who inflict pain. You call my words a lie, that I do not speak the truth. I'll go one step further and call your mission in life a lie. You've done nothing but fail at everything you've done here in IWA. You had no desire to live up to your potential, Elric and you yourself know it to be true. You needed a push. No, better said, you needed the right push. You needed to experience that which you claimed to fight against to really know the thirst for vengeance it truly requires to stand up for what you believe in.
You think I needed to find a way into IWA? Ha. Quit kidding yourself. I can find success anywhere I go, in anything I do because I know what I believe in and will fight for it. You do not know that feeling. That feeling of self righteous accomplishment in knowing that you fulfilled that which you set out to do. You want to feel it, hell...you need feel it....that shove was your bluff. You gave yourself away. You need to punish me to prove yourself not be a failure, thing is I'm just as easily prepared to dish out pain....
Slayde headbutts Elric right in the face forcing Elric to take a few steps back holding his nose, before it's revealed his nose has been busted open as blood drips down from it and he stares coldly at Slayde
Slayde:....so come on, Elric. Do your worst, cause I sure as hell will do mine.
*Elric feels the cold blood drip from his nose and loses his mind. Spearing Slayde and throwing lefts and rights to the face of Slayde*
Elric: You want to see punishment?! You want to feel the pain!? Fine! I will destroy you, I will rip you to shreds and destroy your humanity!
*Elric launches his fist and it connects solidly on Slayde's face knocking him down and Elric is now directly above a fallen Slayde as he continues his onslaught of his fist until he finally gets up and starts stomping, he leaps up for a knee drop but Slayde moves his right leg up delivering a stiff kick to Elric's jaw that leaves him stunned long enough Slayde to reach his feet and once more kick Elric in the face before grabbing on to him and locking in a triangle choke he calls Lights Out! Elric is fighting to get out of it but Slayde's hold is tight. Elric begins to fade as the crowd looks on before they begin to cheer for their hero and give new life to Elric who begins to fight out of the hold and does so after connecting a big punch to Slayde's injured left knee forcing to drop the hold as he rolls over in pain before Eric desperately tries to catch his breath.
Eric now pounces on Slayde and begins to attack with fists to the face of Slayde blood drops falling from his nose coat his mouth and soon teeth as he smiles enjoying the moment but that smile cost him as Slayde now locks in The Lights Out! once again ignoring the agonizing pain of his knee even as Elric punches it again and again and begins to fade once more before a security team finally steps in to break the fight.
The Boss
Smokey comes out, as security has pulled the two men apart. Smokey has a mic.
Smokey: You two want to fight!?
Elric nods.
Smokey: These fans want to see you fight!?
The fans cheer with excitement!
Smokey: Fine! Up next, we are going to see Victor Elric team up with Ace Note to take on the team of Orion Slayde and Domino!
Smokey turns, leaving, as Elric grins.
Mike: Well folks, we have a huge tag match next! Don't change the channel!
