There's an old tale about the Frog and the Scorpion.
"I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you."
A Frog was sitting beside a river, minding his own business.
"What about? Going to tell me how much better Rob is than I am?"
A Scorpion made his way over, and asked the Frog to take him across the river.
"Please.. let's not fight right now.."
The Frog refused, maintaining that the Scorpion was a dangerous animal, and would sting him.
"Who's fighting? Hell, I don't even know how we got to this point in time."
The Scorpion promised he wouldn't, but the Frog was not convinced.
"Maybe one day.. when we're passed all of this.. I'll explain it to you."
For days the Scorpion begged the Frog, insisting that he would not sting him if he was granted this favor.
"Why do I always have to wait? I've been waiting for an explanation for weeks now. All I got was ignored."
Finally, the Frog relented, allowing the Scorpion to climb on after the Scorpion insisted he would not sting him.
"I have my reasons for why I do things. You'll just have to trust me."
The Frog dutifully carried the Scorpion across the river. The Scorpion climbed off the Frog, and then promptly stung him.
"Trust you? I'm not sure I even know you."
"Why did you sting me, after you promised not to?" The Frog asked, weak from the Scorpions poison.
"So, you're just going to Walk Away?"
The Scorpion turned to the Frog and did what we would call a shrug.
"No, you've already done that. I'll be here. Take that what you will."
"It's just the way I am."
"It's good to see you haven't changed."
Because you're going to need to be that way...
I'm Sorry
For the Demon I've become
You should be sorry
For the Angel you are not.
I apologize for the cruel things that I did
But I don't regret one single word I said

"I know what you're after Will, really I do. I hear the same things you do. The way people snicker when they mention your name. The way they shake their heads in disbelief that Will Washington has yet "another title shot". To most, you're the lovable loser. The guy who always comes close to gaining the top spot, but always falling a bit short. Like a Nascar driver who constantly finishes second, or the golfer who's always right behind Tiger Woods. Sure, you have the talent, and the drive, but you need to learn how to put them both together. You have focus, but you need to control that focus. You need to be able to block out everything else, and push forward against the grain. I don't mean either of those to be taken super literally, mind you. Point is, there is such a thing..
As trying too hard.
When you reach for the stars, you can overextend your grasp, and you end up falling. It's the nature of the best, you know? What you need to do, is not come back at me with tired insults and insistance that you know what you're doing, and I don't know what I'm talking about. You need to understand that I'm trying to help you. Here I am, facing a myriad of my own problems, and I'm still finding the strength to give half a damn about someone else. You need to not let your pride disregard me Will. You need to swallow that pride this week, check your ego at the door, and give what I'm telling you a hard look. Promise me that. And you'll go farther..
Than even you imagined."

"See, when you've been in this business as long as I have, you notice things most people don't. You watch people pick their path, and you see where they end up. You see the same results to the same equations with different faces so many times, that some things just become predictable. People like Will and Ian, they see someone who's respected, someone who's 'been around the block', take a notice in them, and they suddenly believe themselves to be worth more than they are. I'm not talking about potential, because you both have that in Spades, but I'm talking about the assumption of potential. See, when Lance Ryan.. or whatever he calls himself now, decided to use more people to ressurect his career like he tried with the Revolution, he picked you, Will, to be his battle standard...
You haven't been the same since.
It's not a pretty thing to say, but it's true. He filled your head with his rhetoric of trying to make you like him. And I know there was a lot of talk about Lance's group and how it was somehow more important than my group, mainly talk from Lance himself, but in the end, the results speak for themselves. So, here I am, offering my sage advice to you guys. The constantly almost enough Will Washington, and the guy who's never stepped into an nCw ring before. I'm going to tell you what you need to do to come out at top. Basically..
I'm going to tell you how to beat us.
No, no, don't thank me just yet. Here's what you have to do...
When you're fighting your hardest, fight harder...
When you're running your fastest, run faster...
When you black out from the pain, get up anyway...
And when you can't take anymore, give it back four times as hard...
Simple, isn't it? Good luck."
Could you forgive me
If I told you that I cared?
Would you be sorry
If I swore that I'd be there?
Please forgive me
For laughing when you fall
I'm so sorry
But I never cared at all

Ever felt like going crazy?
Ever thought you'd feel better if you went and hurt all of the people who hurt you?
How do you deal with that?
I was always the one people went to when they had problems.
Now.. I have the problem...
Who can I turn to?
Who can I trust?
Who gives a damn about... me?
Why wasn't I selfish?
Why was I trying to be the hero?
Where can I turn...
I can only thing of one place..
The bluest eyes I have ever seen...
She'll know what to do...[/color]
Just Walk Away
Make it easy on us both
Just Walk Away
There was never any hope
Just Walk Away
You already know the deal
Just Walk Away
Pretend that none of this was real.
