4/27/2009: So "Behind the 8 Ball" is over. There's ssstill gold around my waist. And “The Bobliographon” is in the record booksss. So let the record show, that a championship team is only as strong as its weakest link. And there's no mystery about who was the weak link in The Osirian Portal. It was you, Escorpion.

Back in March, the biggest pro-wrestling tournament of the entire year was ours for the taking. But as far as Amasis and I are concerned, sssomeone didn't pull his weight, and the result was King of Trios 2009 ssslipped through our fingers like so much Qattara sand.

Amasisss and I are the top tag team on the circuit today. We captured the prestigious Campeonatos de Parejas before anyone ever heard of Escorpion Egipcio. And we've defeated the biggest stars in all of CHIKARA - from The Colony to Jigsaw to the Super Smash Brothers to Mike Quackenbush himself - and we did it all without the help of Escorpion Egipcio. How is it that Amasis and I could do all this on our own, but with the added "help" of Escorpion's vaunted sstrength, we could not overcome The Future is Now?

It's simple. Pro-wrestling requires a lot more than brute ssstrength. A tall stature and unrefined power are no substitute for speed, agility and cunning. Amasis and I intend to be the longest-reigning Campeones of all time, and that won't be possible carrying around a giant load of dead weight on our backs. The chain must be strong, and the weakest link must go. Welcome to the ssscrap heap, Escorpion.

For the glory of Osiris!
