“Tonight,” he says, “all of LWF is put on notice. The Lord of Darkness has returned. My time away from this federation has made me wiser. I no longer seek glory. I no longer seek gold. I simply seek…pain. Anguish. Agony. I will destroy every member of this federation one at a time. I am a two time Tag Team Champion, but I no longer wish for a partner. I am from this point forward on my own, and will destroy and person that would dare oppose me and hasten their own demanufacturing. I am a former LWF Champion, but I no longer wish for a title. I merely wish to hear the screams of pain, and there nothing that can stop me. I wish…for blood.”
