The scene slowly opens up inside of the Joe Everyman locker room. Joe and Maria are sitting on the couch. Joe seems to be deep in thought and is almost drifting in and out of consciousness. As the camera moves in closer, Maria can be seen sleeping. As the camera gets close, Joe looks over at Maria, stands up and puts a blanket over her. Joe then moves back to where he was originally on the couch.
Joe Everyman: There's a couple things I've started to realize this week. First off, after seeing what everyone has had to say to each other so far this week, I'm starting to think that Maria and I very well may be the happiest couple in nCw right now. Angel is out there with his family. Adam and Kelly are still separated, be it by force. But proubly the most depressing split up so far was Ron and Curtis. They just don't seem themselves since they split up. Ron just can't get a grip on much, while Curtis has reverted to the long forgotten DDK. I just hope, if anyone is going to fix their relationship, it will be those two.
But, the other thing that I started to realize this week is that I'm nothing special. I know alot of people would tell me otherwise, but it's true. Since I put Lance Ryan to rest those many months ago, I'm currently two, twenty two and one. Normal people would have quit by now. Or if not quit, they would have been let go from the company. And I think the match against Angel saved my career. Even though I lost, it was still an internal victory for me. A big one. And thanks to it, and all of the fans, I haven't given up hope completely. But, even with that confidence, I have still realized I am nothing special. But really, why should I be? I am here to represent the everymen of America. I joined because I wanted to bring some pride back to middle class America. And for a while, I did. For a while, I waved the American flag proudly. I tried to make people feel better if their lives weren't as perfect as they had hoped. I was there, to restore hope in people.
But recently, it has all changed. My thirst for gold and glory had clouded what I was originally here for. I was so close to finally realizing my dream, but I was knocked down. Like so many Americans before me. So maybe, deep down, I am living the American dream. Getting so close, doing everything at all possible, and still finishing in second. So many people have fallen into this dark category. But from now on, I will try to be the shinning light at the end of the tunnel for these people. I want to be there for people. Unlike some, who cannot stand to help others. Or others who want to only cause harm. Those people will need to be taken out. America doesn't respond to threats too well. If you don't think so, just go ask Japan and Germany. They'll tell you what's what. But, that being said, sometimes American have to step on others to get to where they want to be.
And I regret to inform Ron Gibson and Nathan Doe, you will have to be my stepping stones this week. I haven't won a match in over three months. I know, following my record, I should lose this week. But to be honest, there is just no way I can allow that to happen. Losing so many matches really starts stacking up on your heart. They can really take a toll on someone. But remember one big key thing here. Nobody in nCw, nobody in professional wrestling. Nobody in the whole damn world has a heart as big and as strong as mine. If you don't believe me, ask Angel. I'm sure he'll have some words for you if you say it's untrue.
So really, what I've started to learn is that I may not be that plain. I may be special in my own right. If anybody is not special, it's Ron and Nathan. The both of you are even more pathetic than my recent losing streak. When people talk about me, they say things like... "I wonder when Joe will pick up that next win" or "I'm really glad Joe isn't a jerk like alot of people". But when people think about you two, they say things like... "What the hell happened to Ron Gibson?" or "Who the hell is Nathan Doe?". I am still recognized for my greatness. While you two are just sitting on the back burner, slowly being forgotten and slowly falling into obscurity. Ron, I used to look up to you in the ring. I used to think you were one of the best. But recently, you've just fallen off your horse. I honestly want you to get back out there and put on a show. But this week, that just won't be able to happen. And Nathan...I'm still not quite sure who you are. If you would have done something substantial here, I would proubly know. But so far, you are merely a forgotten man.
Onto my partner for this week, I am looking forward to teaming with Destructor. People need a hero like him, no matter how weird he may be. I personally wouldn't consider myself a superhero by any means, but this kid really thinks he is. And more power to him. Alot of people don't believe in him, but I think he's going to have a great future in this company. He may not be that thrilled about teaming with me, and that's fine. If I had it my way, I would take on Ron and Nathan by myself, like a true American. But help is always nice. I think that Destructor and I will be a good pairing.
This week, my streak will finally come to an end. This losing binge I've been on has to end. Even with my heart being so strong, I just can't continue having all of these loses stack up. I won't get anywhere in this business if I just allow myself to lose so much. So this week will be different. When I win, I will finally be back on the right page. But if somehow I lose again, I will still keep my head up. I will still ride into next week with an ocean full of confidence. And this week, I will show Ron Gibson and Nathan Doe why it is very unwise to question my heart. The American spirit will triumph, as it has so many times before.
The camera moves back as Joe looks back over at the still sleeping Maria and smiles.
Joe Everyman: I love you Maria, thank you sticking with me through all of this.
Joe then leans over and gives Maria a kiss on the cheek as the scene fades to black.

Weaving down the American highway
Through the litter and the wreckage, and the cultural junk
Bloated with entitlement, bloated on propaganda
Now we're driving dazed and drunk
