I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ ’don’t blame me’
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin; your daddy’s too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
A whole lotta people cryin’ ’don’t blame me’
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin; your daddy’s too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
I think everyone is going to be surprised this week. Even through all of my struggles in the ring, I am still being graced with a match on Collision against two of the strongest and best female wrestlers nCw has to offer, in Cleo and Ayla St. James. And if that wasn't great enough, I get to team up with the current and probably forever nCw Women's Champion, Zelda Knite. Except, due to recent events, I won't be teaming up with the strongest competitor in nCw history. Instead, I will be teaming up with the woman who injured her own sister in law, Kelly Knite.
Now, I may sound a little bitter. I mean, sure, I had a huge chance this week to pick up a gigantic win. But, instead, I have to fight out there with a woman who recently gave birth, and hasn't wrestled in...four years? This is her first match in nCw...ever. Ever! And yet, I'm suppost to go out there and wrestle my heart out, with a person with less experience than me, against probably the best female tag team in nCw history. And people will expect me to go out there and say great things about Kelly Knite, because I'm one of the "good guys". But the question remains...should I?
I mean, really. Everyone knows me for being nice. Everyone knows me for being cool headed. Everyone knows me to be the positive side to Joe's more, drastic side. But should I really be all nice and kind and happy this week? I go from teaming with the best in this company, man, woman or child, to teaming with someone who I absolutely hate. But, I don't hate you because I think you're sleeping with Steve or anything like that, because I don't. Deep down, you're just a scared little girl who has been pushed back into the corner by her peers for something you didn't do. I know you're still faithful to Adam. But, that's not why I hate you. I hate you because to this day, you have never believed in Joe or I. I mean, you can't even deny that. You can say all of these nice and good things about me now, this week...but deep down, I know you don't believe yourself when you say that.
And even this week, you had a chance to change that. You had a chance to apologize for the things you've said, and right your wrongs...but do you remember what you said? You said my husband is allergic to winning. And do you remember what you said about me? You said that I was...pretty much useless. And that's not all. When he had the biggest match of his career against Angel for the nCw Championship, you still cut him down. He was on top of the world, and when he logged on and read the Knitelife, he was distraught because of what you told Zelda to say about him.
Do you know what Joe told me to do this week? He told me to just take you out, and injury you like you injured Zelda. And to be honest, I wanted to. This is the first time either of us have been near you. Close enough to do significant damage to you anyway. This is the perfect storm, don't you think? A person who hates almost every fiber of your being is forced to be your partner. Fighting against two others who hate you even more than I do. So, which path should I take? That of what I am used to, or that of revenge?
All people can change. I even think you were the last person to say that. Good men can falter, evil men can repair their hearts. So this week...I will trust you. I will work with you. But I am not doing it for you. As you said, everyone hates you, me included. But, I am doing this not only for myself, but for Joe. I am doing this for your husband, who I respect more than most people in nCw. And I am doing this for Zelda. Intentional or not, you still hurt her. If you're going to do this for anyone, do it for her. And maybe after this week, you can actually finally realize how damn good Joe and I are. I am doing this for the honor of the Everyman family. Maybe after this week, you won't think we are just a joke. Maybe after this week, your wicked heart will finally be turned. Maybe after this week, you can burn your days and rebuild. Your life is how you make it. If you want people to think of you better, do better things. If you want people to not hate you, be a better person. If you want to win...channel your husband's skills and your sister in law's attitude. I will be going out there to win. And even though I don't like you one bit, I will still respect you as my partner.
This now brings me to Cleo and Ayla. Kelly sure had one thing right this week. Of anybody in nCw, you two know each other inside and out better than any parring...literally. I'll try to abstain from as many lesbian jokes I can this week. But you two are a well oiled machine that enjoys wrecking havoc in your wake. But you're going up against a couple wounded wolves. Kelly is saddened by everything else going on, plus the fact that she injured her own sister. As for myself, I have been backed into the same corner so many times, it's about time I sprung out and attacked. You two may be damn good together...in bed...but you don't have the help that we do. Look at who our husbands are. Joe Everyman and Adam Knite. In my mind, and a little bias too, Joe and Adam are the two best in this company right now. Every chance Adam gets, he punks Steve Awesome and his bunch of goons. And Joe is starting to win left and right.
Adam and Joe have helped us in the past and taught us everything we could possibly learn. Who were your teachers? Ellen DeGeneres and Rachel Maddow? Cause...they're...lesbians...yeah. But the fact remains that even though you two can win in a moments notice, Kelly and I can do the exact same. Kelly has two of the most dominant wrestlers in nCw history in her family. And Joe's never say die attitude has been passed down to me. After this week, Kelly is have no choice but to take the hate she uses on Joe and I week in and week out, and move it onto you two. Cleo, Ayla, you two don't stand a chance against us this week. We have too much on the line this week. The only thing you two have on the line is deciding who gets to be the man this time. And I swear that's the last crack. But you two can fight and claw all you want. But I will show you two this week why you never question the heart of an Everyman.
The scene opens up inside of Joe Everyman's locker room. Maria Williams and Scotty Callaway are sitting on the couch. Maria is in her workout garb, and looks completely exhausted. He has a bottle of water, and is constantly taking drinks for it.
Scotty Callaway: Did he really push you that hard this week?
Maria doesn't say anything, still taking drinks out of the bottle, trying to rehydrate herself.
Scotty Callaway: I guess so...what all did you two do?
Maria Williams: Everything we could have. He wanted to make sure we were both ready for this week. He said making me ready for my match was even more important than his own, saying his match was basically a joke.
Scotty Callaway: Well yeah, with his opponents, anything would think that.
Then, the door to the locker room opens up. Joe then walks in, looking fairly exhausted himself. He walks over and leans on the back of the recliner Maria is sitting in.
Joe Everyman: Do you think you're ready for your match this week, Maria?
Maria Williams: Of course, I've got the greatest teacher on the planet.
Joe leans down and gives Maria a kiss. Maria smiles after Joe gets back up, letting the confidence flow through her.
Joe Everyman: Ok, I'm going to go train for a couple more minutes. I need to get my blood pumping once more before I quit. I love you baby.
Maria Williams: I love you too dear.
Joe grabs an extra water bottle from the table near Maria and walks out of the room. After Joe leaves, Maria pats around her pockets for her something.
Maria Williams: Scotty, have you seen my cell phone?
Scotty Callaway: Oh yeah, you left it in here when you left earlier. You have a voice mail on it.
Maria Williams: I do? Give it here!
Scotty lobes Maria's cell phone to her. She catches it and pressed the voice mail button. He puts the phone up to her ear. The number plays over the speaker, and it is not a number she recognizes. The message plays over, as a weird look goes over her face. Scotty tilts his head some.
Scotty Callaway: What is it Maria?
Maria takes the phone away from her ear and presses End. She then puts the phone down on the arm of the chair.
Maria Williams: Um...that was Joe's dad. He said he's coming here next week.
Scotty's eyes get big at what Maria said.
Scotty Callaway: Oh god...this isn't going to end well for anyone.
The scene then starts to fade to black.
