Our camera open to Xavier walking into the airport in Nebraska. Bag slung over his shoulder and Gears of War hoody sipped up and the hood up as he walks through the airport. We can see the iPod earphone in his ears as he makes his way out. Without even turning to the camera he throws his bag into a waiting car, he grabs the keys from the valet and drives away.
------
We re-cut to Xavier driving down the streets of Nebraska. The city lights providing the only light. He mounted a small cam corder to the dashboard, point toward him as he focuses on the road
I had some time today. It was a decent flight, decided to get some work down, checked the nCw website and what pops up? Venom... with more words of wisdom for me. Before I clicked, I leaned back and i let my mind drift for alittle bit.
And something hit me. It was just a realization that I needed to be focused. That I needed to keep my mind focused on this match. I know that sounds dumb. But normally I'd watch your stuff and just go from there... right off the dome. It was just the sudden reality that no matter I say, it wont matter. I can come out with a list and just go there listing point after point, but everything you wanted to say to me, you said it the first time.
Everything else... is just icing on the cake.
Xavier stops, as he checks the road, as the reflection off Xavier's face is red, obviously he is at a stop light.
For some reason you thought hat I was some dog, would needed to be put down, ro some person... who was done. Like it was my time to hang 'em up. The only thing they can grab onto is the nCw World Title..
And hell you mention that damn World Title again...
Let's face it, there have only been 9 champions... and I'm one of those champions. And probably pisses you off. How can some loser like me, win the World Title, let me tell you... I busted my ass off for it. Did I do some dishonorable things? Yea... but I've never denied it, I've never turned away from my past. I'm not proud, but i did what was I needed to do to get where I wanted.
you can throw as much garbage you want at me, becuase in the end, I'll be the one walking out clean.
Yeah, you beat Hammond, but you're gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that he isn't a hell of a talent? He lost it to Ace.. yeah Ace is a giant douche bag, but you know what? He was a talented douche bag.
But I see you and I hear your words and you're reaching, grabbing for things that aren't there. Hoping to find the chink in my armor or something to use against me. You bring up my past and that is only that... the past. It's already written. No changing it. And you're not the first man to do so... all I can do is smile and keep working.
The lights change green and Xavier presses the gas and goes.
Venom, you've never been tested since you stepped in this company. I'm sure you've had tough matches, but this is different. This is your first Honor championship match and mine's too. But I have no reason to worry, I have no reason to cheat, but I KNOW I can beat you.
Because like I said before... this title was made for me. Honor, it's something that I fought for. Be it in the Age of the Revolution, Social Distortion, Social Enemies or even on my own. It was always about the fight. Seeing the man across the ring and know that were are gonna leave it all hanging out in that ring and when the bell rings, if I'm laying on the mat... I will KNOW that I gave it my all and i have no reason to be disappointed in my performance.
And if my hand is raised, I will know that I was the better man all along.
Xavier stops. He checks all around him and he shuts the car off, he grabs the camera and grabs his bags form the back and makes his way into the hotel.
He cuts the camera off as he walks toward the door..
---------------------------
Xavier cuts the hand held camera back on as he is dressed in a white tank top and red and black basketball shorts. He sits on the kitchen counter as he cracks open a bottle of water.
It goes simply like this. Venom, I know you look at me and look down at me. Which is fine, perfectly fine with me. Because my goal isn't, impress Venom, it's win. Simple as that, just win. I know you want to lump me in with jobbers or people who are not even the same planet with you, but I'm not. You might be destined for bigger things, but don't let a loss to me, hold you back... because like you are doing now...
The next person might be, "Remember when you lost your belt to Xavier, you were talking all this junk and at the end of the day, Xavier was the bigger man"
Now,w hat kind of champion is that if he can't even back up his words?
Xavier... rubs his chin and takes a swig of water.
I don't know, maybe I can ask you that question on Monday, as I'm polishing MY belt...
Xavier smirks and he shuts the camera off.
