"S.O.S...."

"KENNNEDDDYYY!"
Ken Kennedy enters through the curtains and walks onto the ramp. He pauses and looks around as fans boo him. The lights dull as he raises his arm and a microphone drops down from the ceiling into Kennedy's arms. The crowd's boos get louder and chants of "You suck!" break out.
"I don't care what you idiots think. It's obvious you don't know talent when you see it. Tonight, I am here in a King of the Ring match against some run-down, bob-sledding loser. Tonight I will be victorious and I will go on... I WILL GO ON and I WILL win the King of the Ring tournament. No matter what any of you think, no matter what Kofi Kingston thinks, I am...MISTERRR KENNEDDDYYY ......Kennedy. Your next King of the Ring!"

"I've struggled. I've struggled for years to find who I am. Struggled to find the real me. I went through stages being pissed off, I went through stages being annoyed at the world. I spent time caring what you idiots in the crowd think of me. I don't care anymore. All I care about is ME! CM Punk. I care about me and me only. I will NOT hinder my success here because some little 12-year-old jackass wants to sit their cheering me. I will not waste away so some internet nerd can sit their typing "Punk is awesome. He's hardcore! He's hardcore!". I don't give a crap. From now on I am focusing on showing everybody who I am, what I can do and why I do it!
Rob Van Dam, you should take my lead. You used to be a great athlete, a World Champion. You cared what people thought about you, you tried to be 'a better man'. Look where that got you. It got you NOWHERE! At SummerSlam, Rob, I will show you what I think of people like you. At SummerSlam, Rob, I will beat your sorry, weak, pathetic ass and I will show everyone EXACTLY who I am. I am CM Punk. I'm better...than YOU!"

Rhino stops him mid-way through his speech.
"You honestly think I believe this bull-crap coming out of your mouth? The greater good? What the hell are you talking about!? Join you in a quest for power? There ain't no chance in hell I'm joining a madman and his goon. I am my own man."
"I see you've made your choice. I guess you've chosen the hard way. I hate to say it, Rhino, but tonight your going to face the consequences. You deny my help. You deny OUR help. Your going to pay.
Rhino laughs at him, taps him on the shoulder and says "See you out there" before walking towards the ring.
