“You know, I’ve won my fair share of crowns.”
The camera comes into focus on a lapel pin that once represented a collection of championships.
Zoran Sainovic:
I opted for zis more dignified symbol of my superior fortunes. So ze zought of your spoils being a briefcase, greatly appeals to my business-oriented aesthetics.

The Final Boss sits in a black leather chair, against a black backdrop, making his white Armani suit all the more stylish.

Hello Infinite Pro. You may know me as ze manager of El Rey. Zat came about because he has a contract with a promotion I am a commissioner for, but due to some family issues – Rey decided to put ze Atlantic between himself and his shallow gene pool. Now zat federation was on ze same Network as IPW, and seeing a conflict of interest – I decided to make Rey honour his commitments to US. At ze very least, train him until he was ze kind of killing machine zat could stand up to his family and return home.
Hello Infinite Pro. You may know me as ze manager of El Rey. Zat came about because he has a contract with a promotion I am a commissioner for, but due to some family issues – Rey decided to put ze Atlantic between himself and his shallow gene pool. Now zat federation was on ze same Network as IPW, and seeing a conflict of interest – I decided to make Rey honour his commitments to US. At ze very least, train him until he was ze kind of killing machine zat could stand up to his family and return home.
Circumstances have changed since my initial scheme was put into action...
Recent results suggest zat despite all our hard work, and extensive training, Rey may still not be able to stop Tracy from murdering him.
...And Infinite is now on another Network, so no longer a direct rival to my federation.
Without mentioning ze Network, out of respect to my hosts here, ZAT is my home. I am basically ze leader of zeir ...new generation. I do not, however, come here as an invader or vengeful enforcer. Nor will I make you see ze error of your ways. ...Your enemies are my enemies. You do you. I am simple a journeyman. And without you taking Rey away from MY federation, you are more zan welcome to him. In fact, I zink zis could be a good learning experience for him. Gives him a chance to mature. It’s certainly safer zan returning home.
Having taken El Rey under my wing, however, I want to ensure zat his time here is comfortable. Ze only time I throw my charges to ze wolves, is when zey are real wolves, and it’s a training exercise. To zat end, I have entered ze Royal Crown Rumble to win ze briefcase FOR El Rey. I have no doubt zat he will win ze openweight championship at ze event, but it never hurts to have an extra title shot lying around. So zat is my motivation. Not winning for me, but for my charge. Rather selfless, I know.
So best case scenario, I continue my Rumble winning ways – and carve out a nice gift for my pupil. I will do my best for Rey’s sake. Only it's a battle royale, and with zat many bodies in ze ring all at one time, being ze best wrestler does not mean zat my noble ambitions may come to pass. It really does come down to luck. So worst-case scenario, a talented IPW star of ze future manages to turf zis poor, old, manager. A loss doesn’t do much to hurt my image, while eliminating me would be ze career highlight of ze lucky tosser... whether zey know it or not.
Having painted a picture of ze stakes involved, I can now enjoy myself. And I intend to do just zat.
See ze Jamrockers might have rusty nail on chalkboard charisma, but once you ignore ze promos, and actually wrestle zem? Zat was a treat. I will keep someone’s eyes peeled for a chance to settle ze score with ze lesser Touchdown. Beyond zat opportunity for revenge, I always look forward to spilling ze blood of fresh faces... and ze IPW roster presents infinite possibilities for opponents I have yet to make. Sadly, ze political climate suggests zis will be my brief window to permanently maim Ana Somnia, give Stefan McCain a Glasgow smile, or open Tommy Hate’s heart to ze concept of love... using a saw to cut zrough ze breast bone. So many unique pairings to tease, and zat is before you get to surprise participants, I am not unlike a kid in a candy store.
Zank goodness for battle royales...
So zat is me.
Probably my last time in an IPW ring, due to circumstances outside of my control – yet committing atrocities for a lofty ambition, and dare I say, noble goal. See, Jason Long is about ze only wrestler I consider my rival... equal – we have a history zat has forged a grudging respect. It may be some time before we can reignite our bitter flames, so zis also acts as an enticing parting shot. He is about to venture out into a brave new world, where ze last zing he needs is half his roster failing medical exams due to nagging injuries.
I’d like nothing more zan to spare Jason that extra burden...
But like I said... some zings are just out of my control.
Zat’s ze nature of zis beast.
Smiling faintly, The Final Boss nods at the camera, having made his unenviable position as clear as possible without directly stating it. Looking back down at the lapel pin, Sainovic places the bauble back in his pocket. For want of a crown. As the image fades out, the extent of the threat sinks in. The Royal Crown Rumble is going to be feel bad.
