[Fresh off his relaxing and reflective trip to the beach, Jimmy Zane is in need of some alone time. Some rest time. Some time to just get his mind right for this match on Sunday night. A match of epic proportions...
THE COLISEUM!
A match in which the winner gains the opportunity to face whoever the World Champion is next month at A Night To Remember. Jimmy is obviously dead set on winning this match. He doesn't just WANT to win it...
HE HAS TO WIN IT.
Not for only for INFAMOUS, but for every person who ever said he couldn't do it. For every person who held him back while other, less talented wrestlers, were pushed ahead of him. For every single one of the past World Champions who have fallen at his hand. That is a long laundry list, I might add! But most of all, Jimmy needs to win the Coliseum and go on to win the World Championship for himself. To cement his legacy as the champion his father...
NEVER WAS!
His father was a decorated performer to say the least, however, his accomplishments were tainted by his lack of respect for those around him. And that lack of respect transformed into a lack of respect for Jimmy from those who the Punisher screwed over. Which, in turn, lead to Jimmy behind held back and held down for the last 3 years. But come Sunday night, Jimmy will be able to stand tall and proud and declare to the world...
NO MORE!
The days of fighting for table scraps are OVER! The days of hoping to make an impression on management so that they will see fit to put him in a position to succeed, is OVER! And the days of trying to live up to a mythical shadow, trying day in and day out to compete with something that was never real. Trying to cast off the sins of his father.
ARE OVER!
Now is the time for Jimmy to step forward and become the face of nCw. Now is the time for him to slay the demons that have haunted his career. NOW IS THE TIME!]
(The scene fades in and we see Jimmy Zane walking into his hotel room. The camera follows. He walks in and over to his cell. He sees a number of missed calls and a ton of missed text messages. He then pulls his laptop out and connects to the internet. He catches a few of the promos his opponents have posted on the web. Once he has watched them all, he closes his laptop and grabs his cellphone. He sends a few texts to friends and then puts the phone down. He gets up and hits the mini-fridge. He grabs a couple of small bottles of Jack Daniels and a Coca Cola. He walks over and tosses a few ice cubes in the glass and then pours the Coke in. He twists off the top of one of the Jack bottles and holds it there a moment. He is just about to pour, when suddenly he stops. He looks down at the bottle and then begins pouring...
RIGHT DOWN THE SINK!
He grabs the other bottle, twists it open and pours it down the sink as well. He grabs the glass of Coke and drinks it down. A smile comes across his face as he immediately feels better. Another demon cast aside. He walks over to the sitting area of his hotel room and sits down. He places the half full glass of Coke in front of him. He sits there a moment and then he breaks the silence as he begins to speak.)
DEMONS!
They have haunted my past and present for far too long. They have haunted my dreams for as long as I can remember, and it's all because I let it! Today is a new day, boys, and I will prove to everyone in this match, in the arena, and watching at home, that my resolve is as unwavering as my determination. This Sunday night at Sovereign, I will prove to the world that I am the best nCw has to offer. Now, I do have a little help this week as my teammate Kristoff Liam Bates is also in this match. While our solidarity is unmatched and also unwavering, I am sure that we will both make the best decision for the business, for nCw, and most of all...
FOR INFAMOUS!
Now, I heard Jacobsen running his mouth about me only have won a single, solitary title here in nCw. Well, smart guy, that only goes to prove EXACTLY what Kris, Ace, Rob and myself have been trying to tell all of you jackasses! We have been held down and held back for WAY TOO LONG! That's why we have banded together as brothers in arms. That is why we have joined forces. We plan to bring down the establishment and rebuild it with something new, and real, and most of all..
SOMETHING FAIR!
That way, this doesn't happen to anyone ever again. That way people who are talented enough to be in the top tier around here can actually get there. That way nobody else has to suffer the embarrassment of losing match after match to Joe Everyman when the bottom line is, he isn't nearly as talented as them. Having to walk around for nearly a month with the overwhelming embarrassment of losing to Joe is something NOBODY should ever have to endure! It's painful. It's completely and utterly disappointing. Hell....
YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW YOUR FACE IN PUBLIC!
But I am here to let you all know that it won't happen to you. But I am also here to tell you that this week is MY week. You guys all are worthy competitors, there is no denying that. But it's simply not your time, and it never has been. Sure, you each won qualifying matches to get here. You each did what was asked of you to get into this match. But none of you have been through the pain and heartache like I have endured for nearly three years in this company.
NONE OF YOU!
Now I know you all have your hearts set on facing whomever the champion may be next month, incidentally, my money is on Homeless Harold, but that trip belongs to me. That spot, belongs to me. After everything I have done for this company over the time I have been here, I deserve that opportunity, and I plan on taking it with both hands and never letting go.
(Jimmy pauses for a moment as he stares directly into the camera. You can tell he is calculating his next statements.)
Now I had the opportunity to review a few of the promos that you jackholes put up in the last few days. Before I actually address any of you, I have to know...
DID YOU JACKASSES GET TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE ON WHAT TO SAY ABOUT ME?
Jesus H Christ, assholes, it's like you are all repeating the same thing that the last jackass said. So let's cover the same **** again, shall we? Ricky, Paul, Jacobsen, listen up.
YES!
I have only had one championship around my waist here in nCw. It's a well documented fact, and as I said earlier, is a HUGE reason I joined forces with my fellow INFAMOUS members. I, along with them, have been held back time and time again, and that time is OVER! I will say, however, I am glad you all pay attention to old news. Well, I got some new news for all of you.
SO LISTEN UP!
I don't care what you say about me. I don't care what you think about me. And I damn sure don't care what you jackoffs think the outcome of this match is going to be. I just want you to know that when all the smoke has settled and the dust is cleared, there can and will be only one winner of this match. That winner, in equivocally and without doubt...
WILL..
BE..
ME!
Now I know that Bates, my teammate, my partner, my friend, is training hard. He is training smart. He is preparing himself for all out battle, and I have nothing but respect for that. In the end, there can be only one man left standing. There can be only one man walking out of the Coliseum a legend. I firmly believe that it will come down to he and I as the last two men left standing. We will discard all of the other slackers in this match first, then we will meet nose to nose...
FACE TO FACE!
Kris, we both have the same hopes, dreams, and goals, my friend. We both want to be the man to walk into A Night to Remember as the number one contender for the World Title. We both want to represent INFAMOUS and forge our way into the record books on the night of all nights. Now, don't mistake me for someone who agrees with anything Ricky Johnson has to say, but he was right on one point. I will not lie down and let you walk out of that cage the winner. I will not just step aside and give up on my dreams of becoming the nCw Champion for you. It's every man for himself, and in the end...
MAY THE BEST MAN WIN!
After the match is over, IF you somehow defeat me and move on to A Night To Remember, I will gladly shake your hand and embrace you as my brother. I will support your quest to become champion, and I will be there for you every step of the way. But as someone once said, there are a lot of if's in that sentence. There is no doubt that you are one of the toughest sons a bitches to ever set foot in the ring. I have a ton of respect for you and all of your accomplishments. But know this, my friend...
THE AGE OF ZANE IS UPON US!
Be ready for a hell of a war come Sunday night, my friend. I will follow you into battle any day of the week, my friend. But as Christopher Lambert so eloquently said all those years ago in Highlander...
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
(Before he can start his next sentence, there is a knock at the door. He rolls his eyes and gets up. He walks to the door and opens it angrily. He looks up, and standing in the doorway is his father. A look of anger and disgust comes across his face as the scene fades to black.)
