"Uvazheniye - vraga, kotorogo legko sdelat', a soyuznika deystvitel'no zasluzhit'."
Presented in English subtitles below as the Cyrillic also sits above.
"Respect is an enemy easily made and an ally truly earned."
A pause as we fade in on Evan's form pushing it's self over the top rope in various ways, arms catching himself and pushing back over as a voice over starts up.
"My ancestors, those who sit in my past they come out of the Carpathian mountains near the Ural's making their way towards Russia, Poland, then Prussia and the Baltic states via the Vanagarian way."
Evan stands at one end of the ring staring at the top rope huffing a breath and charges full speed at the top rope leaping into the air a hand reaching out to catch the top rope...
And he misses the hand on the ropes sending his form crashing over the top rope ...Into a waiting crash mat landing with a loud sound as the air gets forced out the mat.
He roll over and looks at the ceiling, anger and frustration etched on his face as the voice over kicked in.
"My family made their way over here to escape the Stalinist purges, hoping that America would be a brave new start, it wasn't easy, pain taught the way, life is cruel and uncompromising.."
Evan sits up and loos at the ring and that Top eope and rolls himself back in to start the drills again.
And what begins is a super cut of him hitting that crash mat, again.
And again.
And again as that voice over kicks in.
"Which is why with very hit you take, you gotta keep getting back up, if you can't run, walk, if you can't walk, crawl and if you can't do that then offer hand up, swallow your pride and find someone to carry you."
Evan lands into the crash mat again and as he rolls on his back he lets out a shout of frustration and rage getting up on one knee as he punches at the crash mat with annoyance, words just gone the way of the Dodo as he stays on his knees and breathes hard looking at the crash mat, and then the top rope.
"Persevere, survive, take risks."
The next camera cut shows Evan Pulling the crash mat out of the way exposing hard wood floor and he looks it for a while and moves back to the other side, revealing he's moving crash mats away from all four sides.
"Everyone's been doing a lot of talking, some more guarded than others, Some talking about just wo they might eliminate, what it is they're going to do when they face Warren Kane, what the Night of immortals means to them, making the mistake of gazing at the stars , reaching for the future without really and fully considering the present, of course I'm making a generalisation here but that is how the business works Think of tomorrow, hope for today.."
Cut back to Evan in the ring once more bouncing himself over the top rope in various ways before we see him stood at the opposite end of the ring, staring as cis chest heaves, the wide shot exposing that hard wood floor and top rope as he just stares.
"That's when the fear sets in, the voice in the back of your head that plays on all those doubts the worries the insecurities, that human half of your brain getting prodded by that Lizard making you act in stupid irrational ways but I've learned like the roulette life is risk."
The camera stays on that wide view as Evan starts to run for the top Rope at full speed with a roar of anger and jumps , catching himself with one hand and somehow the other hand snaps around in time to arrest his momentum swinging over to start a natural curve towards the apron legs curling as he swing himself between the top and middle rope, natural momentum meaning he has to hop some to slow himself down.
He pauses, seeing how much of he ring he covered trying to recall the events as instinct was now giving way to learning as he smiled and looks up at the ceiling with a laugh and then he howls with a smile on his face.
It echoes.
"Without Risk, none of us evolves."
Fade out, but the voice over continues.
"What does this have to do with the roulette? I hear you ask. Why should we care? Do you even think you're going to win? With all the odds all the names all the drive everyone has?"
We fade in on Evan sat in front of that ring drinking from a bottle.
"Simple, Because I have to try, I want to try, if you don't if I don’t what respect is any of us worthy of? Slinking back in the shadows with my tail between my legs is now way to be, we need leaders and so if somebody has to step up and try? Damn well I'm gonna, Warren Kane is new, fresh and untested as Champion, not as warrior not as king and prince he's going to need all the reminders he can get all the allies he can gather who aren't Dean Harper and Angel Blake... The people in that ring are going to get lessons in respect and humility if not by my hand, but by someone else’s but I can't and won't let this slide through my fingers so easily."
Evan shakes his head with a slight growl looking dead seat into the camera.
“Doesn’t matter who you are, where you stand the hunt is almost over and the real challenge will begin, watch your backs, front s and sides make all the friends you want, all the betrayals you need only one of us will survive this.”
He manages to give that slight wry smile.
“Come the Roulette? I aim that one to be the Thunder child , best of luck to you all most of skill to the others, and if you get in my way? Don’t cry too hard if you end up kissing floor. It’s nothing personal, not yet anyway.”
He caps a cheeky little salute.
“Happy hunting.”
Fade out.
