So exactly what do you hope to accomplish Evans, whats the goal this Sunday night? Are you planning on just beating me so unmercifully that I just crawl back into the pit of obscurity and go away forever and ever? Or is it something so much more devious? Has Seth Evans really cast aside all his morals and his rhetoric and become exactly what I always said he was inside,
Just like me?
Or is this all some clever ploy to make the odds more even just in case I decide to cheat this time too? I mean, I'm looking at it like this Evans, I cheated last time, this time low blows, holding the tights, crushing your face with a sledge hammer, it's all legal brother, so whats the big idea, bring my wet dream to life?
You've got to be joking.
Because if your master stroke in this feud is to give me exactly what I wanted, then Christmas has come early to the Diamond house this year. I guess I should just go right ahead and thank you Seth, but I'm sure you'll come out with some whole diatribe about how now you can give me exactly what I deserve, just deserts and all that other jazz, but frankly, I just want to kick your ass one more time and be done with it. I just wanted you to open your eyes Evans, see things the way we see them, realize that the fans, the boys in the back, nCw as whole was just waiting for their chance to watch you fall from grace and smurf all over everything you stand for. Sure, they cheer you, sure they say "great match" sure they give you a sweet pay check and pat you on the back, but in time Evans, you would become just another worthless commodity, another sad individual unwilling to stand up and take what he's earned.
But I changed all that.
Now you've manned up, sure all it took was me man handling your girl and doing everything in my power to make your life a living hell, but look what you've accomplished in return. You managed to not only get what you wanted, another shot at me, but you also managed to find my weakness. Maybe it wasn't your intention, maybe you didn't even know, but the fact is, I care about Jenny and your girl hurt her. You'd think I'd be mad but honestly I'm so proud right now that I could cry Seth. You've grown up right before my very eyes. Not only are you taking what you want, but your doing it on your terms, not even considering the life's your destroying to get there. Right now Jenny is laid up in a hospital, staring at her parents like their a couple of strangers...
Because of you.
Did I play my roll? Of course, but you Evans, oh you did what no one would expect, you jumped off that high horse and decided to get a little dirty. You decided it was high time to see what all the fuss was about. I hurt your pride one month ago and you struck back with a vengeance; and I can't help but marvel at my own handi work. Seeing you pound your chest and make your case in that ring, it was like watching myself on that TV. A little Rob Diamond with that fire and red hot passion, so hell bent on proving his worth to this company. But really Seth, when are you going to realize that I'm not the one you hate?
Look in the mirror, your the only one to blame for the turns your career took.
You didn't just let me play my games Seth, you invited me in the front door and begged me to do what I did. You wanted it Seth. You wanted someone to light that fire and I did. You needed to be freed and so I've freed you. All you have to do is slay the dragon Seth. All you have to do is take this X-Division title out of my hands and pin me in the center of the ring. It's not that hard, people have done it before, and like you've pointed out all month long, you did it yourself. If its so easy to do, if I'm such a push over, if my ability in the ring had nothing to do with out smarting your ass and getting the pin...
Then shut up and beat me already.
Theres nothing stopping you besides air and opportunity Seth. You want my belt, you take it. Don't talk about it, just do it. I've heard what you've had to say, I know how you feel about me, all I want now is for you to do what you failed to do before. Beat me. If you can't do it, if it's just too much to ask, then get over it. Because I warned you last month, I told you I'd do what I had to. It's not my fault you weren't prepared. Its' not my fault you were naive. It's not my fault you just don't have what it takes to survive. I'm going to survive Seth, I'm going to be here long after your career has fizzled out. Why? Because I have the heart, I have the passion and I have the perseverance to fight through anything this company throws at me. But most of all, I have no regrets. Look at you, you encountered one road block on your way to the top and you crumbled like a blubbering baby. What have you done but cry since I beat you? What have you done to truly make me regret messing with you. Honestly...
What have you done?
Nothing, and that is all you are ever going to do Evans.
( The scene opens with Rob Diamond and Falcon. The two of them are backstage at an arena, not necessarily the one from Collision, it could really be any arena with a locker room. Anyway, Rob is walking back and forth, Falcon is just watching him before he interrupts him. )
Falcon: Whats up man, you look anxious?
Rob: Whats up? you heard them out there, didn't you? Those mindless morons cheering for Evans and all his crap. What has that smurf got that I don't? What can he do that I can't? What the hell is the appeal? I don't smurfing get it and I'm a little pissed man. I bust my ass, I do what I can and still the fans, this company, goddam everyone pisses all over me like I'm a door mat.
( Falcon shakes his head and smiles. )
Falcon: Maybe you should try acting like less of a douchebag.
Rob: Smurf you Larper.
( Falcon blushes and face palms at the inside joke. )
Falcon: Listen. Your pissed that this guy you claim to be better than gets all the fan love and attention.
Rob: Yeah, I guess.
Falcon: Now tell me, if someone came up to you and told you how much you suck day in and day out, would you want to hang out with them or tell them how cool they are?
( Rob thinks about it. )
Rob: Not really, I'd probably punch them in the mouth.
Falcon: Exactly. The people aren't cheering Seth because he's some amazing, awe inspiring talent, their cheering him in spite of you. They hate you because of how you act, so they cheer him as a consequence of your actions.
Rob: So I make him matter?
Falcon: To an extent. The point I'm trying to make is this. To date, all you've done is give the people a reason to hate you. Try giving them a reason to remember you.
Rob: How?
Falcon: Thats something your going to have to figure out on your own.
( Falcon walks over and pats Rob on the shoulder before walking out of the locker room. Diamond just stands there as the scene slowly fades around him. )
Theres no excuses this Sunday, not for me, not for you. No more falling back on how our last match ended. No more pointing fingers and screaming "NO FAIR!" Evans this is your last shot at my title, you either win or you lose, no in between. But I swear on my career, I will not stop until I'm either dead in the ground or the winner. So the real question is this Seth, do you want my title bad enough to end my career? Are you really so set on being "right" that you could take away my very livelihood like Camilla took Jenny's memories? Or is the cost of winning this one match just a price your unwilling to pay? I'm going to tell you the cold hard truth Seth... Your career... Your legacy... Your life...
Are all worth sacrificing for my glory.

And it feels right this time
On his crash course with the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
New Day fills his head with wonder, boy
