Stephen Callaway is sitting in his usual seat wearing a blue checked shirt.

"There's a lot of rumor running around the locker rooms of late. Rumors of my future, Pride's future. Even Kurt and Jeremy's. I know my place here so I'm not going to address those rumors at this time, I'm going to leave that to people more higher than me to address should they chose to.
In the meantime, I look toward doing what I do best, what I am paid to do. What I do is go in the ring and wrestle to the best I can. I have been placed in what's been called an 'All Star Elimination Match'."
He raises an eyebrow.
Stephen
"My team has the current World Champion, the number one contender, yet another Flanagan and Eric Valor. I'll be the first to admit that tag teaming is not the first priority in my mind, that said my boss in SML has been having a go. Although tag teaming is not my highest priority, it doesn't mean I'm not going to be out there working on a 'DTA' Steve Austin thing. Like my time here in Pride, I am a team player, if my team needs me to go in to the ring and weaken an opponent, I will. Any animosity I have toward my partners I leave at the door until the match is over, I always have done."
He removes his glasses and gives them a clean.
Stephen
"But what of my opponents? I have John-boy Noble. I could say he only got the job here because of his brother. He did! I'm sure he'll tell you the same. I got my brothers jobs in SML so I can't complain. What sets people like John-boy apart is he may have got here because of Kurt, but he's still here because he has proven to be good enough. He has proven, under the scrutiny of all, to be not only good enough, but possibly better than us all and may be the biggest challenge to my team in this match.
Pitbullshit may be a new competitor here in Pride, but he has all the tools to make himself a star. He's big, he's strong and, trust me on this, he hurts like hell!
Obscene I know how good he is. On the occasions I have peen paired up in a tag team with him we remain undefeated, that's not all down to me. I have seen Obscene win and lose and never once has he looked bad in the ring. Never once has he looked second best to his opponents.
Dru, I apologize. I haven't seen a lot of your matches although I will this week. I can not comment on how good, bad or indifferent you are in the ring, but I have heard from others and the general consensus in that you are perhaps THE danger of your side.
Jason. I may mock you for the name changing and I may also mock you for losing to Josh twice for the World Title. Yet, any man who is named as the number one contender to two successive super-cards can not be that bad. I know we've had our problems in the past and are more than likely days away from a one on one clash, don't take that to mean I think of you as any less of a challenge than Robbie Venom or Shawn Stevens.
He picks at his right glove, removes it and puts it back on.
Stephen
"Just because I have looked at you all and discussed how good some of you are and how much potential have, do not underestimate me or my team. As good as you collectively are, we are BETTER! We have the World Champion who, Donnie Darko problems aside, is by definition, the best in this entire company. We have the number one contender for the World Title in Eddie Nash, we have the Syndicate Champion in Kid Flanigan and we have Eric Valor who has had a good run of form in the short time he has been here in Pride.
We also have Stephen Callaway the man who has ALWAYS had an Angle! Always. A former six time SML Champion and a one time number one contender for the Pride World Title and who recently pushed the World Champion to one of his best matches in the company.
If the rumors I've been hearing are true then I intend to end Oblivion like I ended last weeks Oblivion, standing in the ring above my competition!"
We go to black.
