failure is not an option

[Cliff o Clink]

In a back room at a undisclosed location is Cliff o Clink being thrown through a wall into a smaller room like a broom closet and the larger, bulkier figure clad in a hooded sweatshirt, face unseen reaches through the wall to pick up Cliff who is bleeding from the mouth and choke him as he is lifted to his feet. Cliff almost limp from a beating he has taken far beyond what we have witnessed thus far and the larger man dragging the CoC out to slam to the floor choking him some more and yanks him by the collar bringing his head inches off the floor.

You were supposed to go for the number one or nothing else, not some mid way title, you're better than that. You have succeeded in nothing more than what I gave you in your old home, they can't even get your name right, but who cares if you keep putting on clinic after clinic!!! BULLSHIT! You failed Cliff, now go back to the bottom and start anew, start from the ground up and reinvent yourself, so nobody forgets who the CoC is or you will be dead to me! I will never take you back after you waste your potential in ECWF, you and I will be through if you don't do what I know you can do.

The large man drops Cliff to the floor like a dead weight and stands up nudging him with a foot and scoffs.

You could never beat me though, so why should I expect you to make it anywhere else!? Maybe I should just cut you off now, not like you have a future anywhere. Maybe TJ was right, you're at the end of your line, this Nex Gen title is your last hope at doing anything relevant for this business, so run with it cause its all you get from now on! I won't take you back, you failed me for the last time. You're a failure Cliff, you couldn't be the face of a brand new show, you have no business being here or anywhere, so you're done with me and my business.

Cliff lifting his head to look up with blurry vision.

CoC

I have a World Title shot coming when they decide to do something with the Series tournament I am in!

Like Chaos Theory, that Series is just another failed opportunity for your to waste like you will do with that belt you hold.

The large man stomps on Cliff's chest taking the wind out of him and his head drops limply.

That is your career Cliff, in a nutshell, you can't keep your sails full. Your life is leaving your body and nothing you do will save you. You will ride out your career in ECWF, maybe move on to some other unknown entity to try and hang on to once was, but you just relive what you already did rather than be someone who breathes new life into one entity to live forever! You're a joke Cliff and I wash my hands of you!

The large man removing his foot to bend down and rips Cliff up by the throat throwing him across the room into another wall where he crumples among the drywall bouncing off wooden one inch boards crashing to the floor in a pile of beaten, bloody meat.

Fade to Black.
