I can feel it coming
in the air tonight,
oh lord
in the air tonight,
oh lord
A handsome, relaxed Jason Blair sits in a lounge chair on a quiet beach. An umbrella shades him from the sun, but he's wearing sunglasses anyway.. because it looks f**king cool. On top of the cooler next to him rests a Corona.
How often do we hear the new guy spouting about his new beginning?
The tone of the voice-over reflects the laid back attitude projected by the image. Blair gazes into the Jacksonville beach slice of the Atlantic Ocean.
Almost every damn week we have to endure listening to some new prick talk about what he's bringing to New Championship Wrestling. We hear them take shots at our best, proclaiming themselves the next X-Division champion.. or the next National Champion.
We chuckle to ourselves as they list their accomplishments like a resume; going over their strengths and weaknesses as if it were a job interview. We chuckle because as soon as they walk through the door, we know that they aren't qualified for the position.
This week, I am the new guy. I'm not here to say anything original and refreshing. On the contrary, I'm here to tell you that I'm the next National or X-Division champion. There is a difference, however. I'm not really new here. In fact, the past 2 months I've done nothing but stand on the sideline, watch, and evaluate. This puts me in a position where I'm not just another loud, brash rookie without a clue what he's up against.
I'm fully qualified to inform you that I belong among nCw's elite.
And nCw's elite, you are not. [/center][/color]Jason picks up and sips his Corona through a straw before placing it back on top of the cooler. His voice settles and continues.
But I will make the best of this situation. Every company in every field of work gives you a week of orientation. New Championship Wrestling is no different. It's a week that requires minimal effort. A chance to learn the ropes, but nothing too challenging. Friday on Suspense, I will make it crystal clear that no further evaluation is necessary. I haven't returned to wrestling to “get-by” doing the bare minimum. I haven't come back to do just enough to earn my paycheck week after week. I'm here to excel. I'm here to stand out as one of the best. I'm here, to claim my rightful place in the spotlight. This Friday, two men have the misfortune of being the first to find out first-hand that I will do whatever it takes to get there.
Of course, I use the word “men” generously here. When I look at the qualifications and potential of my opponents, I'm honestly shocked at the rift raft they let in this place. Johnathan Bishop? I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that we will not see Johnathon Bishop again after this match. When he steps into that nCw ring for the first time, and comes face to face with a real athelete.. a prototypical wrestling specimen like myself.. he will turn and run, and never be heard from again. Hell, I can't blame the guy. If my first match in this shark tank of a federation was with a bona fide Great White, I wouldn't want any part of it either.
The other guy, well.. let's just say I made perfectly clear at Sovereign what happens to jokes. Mike Machado is a joke, and Conejo Esponjoso is a joke. I'm not laughing.
Neither will the fans when they see me snap your damn spine in half.
And if either of your cohorts try to come save you, I'll snap theirs too.[/center]This is a man's sport. You are not a man, you are a joke. The big-ups made the mistake of putting a joke like you in the ring with a predator like me. I can't see this ending well for you. My advice to you, Conejo, would be to stay the hell out of my way. Watch in horror with the rest of the nobodies as I destroy and devour the bait in the middle of the ring, but don't get out of that shark cage. I will end you in a single bite.[/color]
A shark fin in the distance surfaces and swims along the shallow waters of the ocean. Jason smiles and the camera fades.
I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life,
Oh lord, oh lord.
For all my life,
Oh lord, oh lord.
