You think you know who I am, what I'm about, and what makes me tick, you think that I'm some kind of egotistical jerk who doesn't give a damn about you... well, you're right. I am egotistical, I am a jerk, and I fully believe that I'm better than every single person on this roster. Shane Hunt and Paul Star are meaningless falshes in the pan. Ander and whoever it is he decides to team with going from week to week are meaningless. They don't match up to Adam and DDK, they don't compare to the Kings of Wrestling, we are the single most important tag team in NCW right now and I don't care if you don't like that or not, but you'll have to accept it, because it's the truth.
Now with that show of my ego and cockiness out of the way, let me say to those who haven't grasped this yet.... that's not all I am. I'm not solely an arrogant jackass, oh no, I'm quite different really than your bully stereotype. I do what I do simply because it's fun, simply because I like to see other people stand up and fight me. Look at the Revolution and how I demanded for others to stand up against us, how I pleaded for those in NCW to call up to arms and fight us with all they had... I love the thought of people raising their game to challenge me, I love the thought of somebody chasing me, trying to catch me and pass me. No I'm not going all Falcon and trying to say that I love being a mentor and idol, no... I want all of you to want to strangle me, I want to see your blood boiling, the fire in your eyes as you try and take my thrown, it just isn't fun unless there is some emotion coming from you.
That's right... this is all a game to me... got a problem with it? I don't care. Try and tell me how wrong that is, try and tell me how that line of thinking is only going to cause me to fall harder... you'll be lying to yourself. I'm a former world champion, I'm in the hall of fame... I'm not going to stop goading people into hating me, i'm not going to stop having fun by pissing you off... deal with it.
JANUARY 29th, 2011
[Opening up we see a small gathering of friends and family sitting around and enjoying the 30th birthday of Adam over the weekend outside at a good old fashioned Texas BBQ. Kelly sits with Ryleigh in her arms next to Adam on a bench who is playing with her and making her giggle, also he plays with Ryleigh a little too. Suddenly a loud scream startles everybody as DDK thunders through the door.]
DDK: Get up you SoB, I'm going to give you the best Birthday present ever!
[Adam, confused, stands up and DDK charges at him, lowers his shoulder and prepares for the “BANG!” but before he hits, he pulls up and stops, then extends his arm for a handshake which Adam accepts.]
DDK: See, I didn't BANG! You, best present ever right?
Adam: I've gotta say, not getting “Banged” by a short pudgy man on my birthday is always a plus.
DDK: Have a good one buddy.
Adam: Go get you some cake or something if you want.
DDK: Cake? What are you 11? Where's the booze and strippers?!
Adam: Kelly insisted... and I don't drink, and my wife is right there.
DDK: She's looking pretty good right now, she could be the stripper. She doesn't have much up top, but she looks like the type who knows how to work it.
Kelly: HEY!
Adam: That's “getting punched in the face” talk right there Kanyon.
DDK: Yeah, and she's probably all stretch marked up from the kid and stuff too... oh well... I think Obsidian and GQ might want some cake.
[DDK and his cronies walk back to indulge themselves in some of the food and cake. Adam sits back down next to Kelly, he shakes his head and laughs at Kanyon's behavior but Kelly doesn't seem too amused.]
Kelly: I hate that guy, I still can't believe you're friends with him.
Adam: He's unpredictable, that's his best quality.
Kelly: Until he unpredictable “BANG'S” you from behind.
Adam: You've never complained about getting “banged” from behind.
[Kelly's jaw drops and she smacks Adam across the arm, then takes Ryleigh's arm and playfully forces her to slap him across the arm as well. Adam pretends to be in shock before laughing and putting his arm around Kelly as they watch the friends and family converse. Adam looks down at the ground and there is obviously something on his mind, and it doesn't go unnoticed by Kelly.]
Kelly: She's not going to miss your birthday Adam, her and Gib's flight probably got delayed, or she's held up in traffic somewhere.
Adam: Yeah, but I still worry about her.
Kelly: She's not a teenager any more and she finally has a family that isn't you with Gib in her life... she's going to be fine.
Adam: I know. Oh and... don't tell her I was worried about her, don't want her thinking I've gone all soft...
Kelly: -laughs- I won't and speak of the devil
[She punches Adam in the arm as he turns and see's Gib and Zelda walking up.]
Kelly: Told you.
Adam: Hush you.
[Adam smiles as he stands up and gives his friend a manly hug, Zelda stands next to her dad and is quiet and is looking off somewhere like her mind is wondering, looking amazingly a lot like Adam was just a few seconds ago. Adam points Gib in the direction of the food who happily heads in that direction. When Gib heads away, Adam turns to his sister.]
Adam: Hey Z, how's things.
Zelda: Good.
Adam: How are you liking Gib's place?
Zelda: Good.
Adam: What's wrong?
Zelda: I've got something for you...
Adam: A present? Sweet, hand it over.
Zelda: I wan't... can wee go somewhere alone?
Adam: Why? What is it?
Zelda: I just don't want a lot of people around.. please?
Adam: Ok I guess.
[Adam grabs Zelda by the arm and signals to Kelly as they head somewhere away from the crowd, they find a nice Treed area and stand there. Zelda begins looking around and inspecting the spot to make sure nobody is around or close enough to see them.]
Adam: Why are you being so secretive...
Zelda: I wanted to give you this... I didn't want anybody else to see.
[Zelda doesn't look at Adam at all as her eyes stay fixated on the ground, she slips him a small beat up white envelope with “Adam” written across it with black ink in large capital letters. He looks it over, confused at what this is.]
Zelda: I wrote you a letter....
Adam: Zel... if you didn't want to buy me anything you didn't hav....
Zelda: I wrote it for you... three years ago... maybe I should of said it was a “note” instead...
[Adam's left eyebrow raises, suddenly he becomes deathly serious as he looks down at the envelope in his hand. He looks at her, tries to gauge if what he's thinking is right at this moment. She starts to give it away as she turns her head, her bottom lip quivers and it's now obvious to Adam what this is judging by his sister's emotions.]
Adam: I don't want this.
Zelda: You saved my life that day.
Adam: I didn't do anything...
Zelda: YES YOU DID! Without you, I wouldn't be here right now, I wouldn't be living this dream if you hadn't been there for me, I wouldn't of even made it through to that point if it wasn't for you sending us money to live off of, money for that private school to get me away from all that trash... this is my thank you... my way to show you just how much you mean to me.
Adam: You kept this, this whole time?
Zelda: I wanted it to be a reminder of a life I never wanted to go back to, to keep me going and fighting, and to one day give to you... so you'd see just how important you are.
[Adam shakes his head as a small awkward small forms across his face. He's in a stage of trying to smile and laugh, to hold back the other emotions that he doesn't want to show.]
Adam: Zelda, I never knew what was going on back then, I didn't see the signs and I've beaten myself up over it everyday for the past three years... I'm glad that I didn't lose my little sister, I'm glad I wasn't too late, I don't want this...
Zelda: you don't have to read it, or even keep it, but I just wanted to show you... I don't need a reminder anymore, I don't need that anymore... thanks to you giving me confidence and helping me through all that, building me up, training me, always being there for me, I've got the confidence to keep going no matter what happens... you were my knight in shining armor that day...
[Zelda chuckles as she begins to tear up, the conflict of emotions is almost overwhelming her.]
Zelda: Sorry about the pun.
Adam: Zel...
[Adam doesn't finish his thought before the siblings embrace in a hug, Adam squeezes her playfully and she manages to choke out a small chuckle.]
Adam: You know what the best present ever is? ...That I never got a chance to see this.
[She lowers her head and gives a small half smile as she looks at the ground, Adam pushes her face back up by her chain and smiles back.]
Adam: Now lets go back and get some food... you look like you need some anyway.
[Adam pokes Zelda in the stomach with his index finger and she sheepishly laughs before nodding her head in agreement. They head back and Kelly smiles at the two, Zelda heads over and sits down, where after asking, she's handed Ryleigh. Adam heads over to the grill, he gives long time friend Davey Boone a shove pushing him away from the burgers and pulls out the note when no one is looking, he aims it at the flames but hesitates, he closes his eyes and gets lost in his thoughts.]
Kelly: What's that?
[Adam opens his eyes and smiles at his wife, now standing next to him.]
Adam: My present from Zelda....
Kelly: Money? Classic Zelda gift.
Adam: No, this is worth far more than any amount of money she could give me...
Kelly: What?
Adam: Her.
JANUARY 29th, 2008
[The door to Adam's apartment swings open before Adam and Zelda walk inside. Zelda didn't grab much before she left but she puts the two suitcases she got down and looks around the living room.]
Adam: You can have that room across from me, I'm sorry it's all I have.
[Zelda suddenly bursts into tears, she throws her arms around Adam, grateful that she's finally away from her “dad”.]
Zelda: Thank you Adam! You're the best big brother ever... you save....
Adam: Hush Zelda... I don't want to think about my sister like that, we're not going to talk about it... You should probably get your stuff together and get some sleep... You'll need your rest if we're going to start your training in the morning before we go out and get you some new clothes and junk.
[She pulls away and smiles at his attempt to act all tough, she mockingly gives him a military silute before turning and heading towards her room. Adam smiles, before he shakes his head... he clothes his eyes and thanks every diety that he can think of for his little sister, fade to black.]
Just don't lump me into the same group as every other petty asshole who was only out to gain his personal fame and achievements, because you'll be so far off base you'll need a map to find your way back. There is more to wrestling, more to life than titles, than gold belts, there is more to life than winning and I embrace that, I've come to accept that in my life. If you think you'll be stepping into the ring with a common jerk, with a common egomaniac, then you've totally misjudged your competition, congratulations, all your training, all your tape watching was for nothing because you didn't catch a single damn thing about me that was right.
So let me ask you Paul and Shane, what is it that you care about? Is it those tag team titles? Is it he joy of wrestling two former world champions, the love of a challenge, or are you just looking to get past us so you can retain those titles? What drives you? Because if all you want is to hold those titles, if all you want are those gold belts, then get prepared for the biggest disappointments of your lives, get ready for a long... long night as we rip those title from your hands and force you to watch us wrap them around our waists, before walking out of the arena crowned, champions. You'll see your precious titles, your oh so important fame and glory, washed away in the blink of an eye, in the span of 1...2...3 seconds.
However, if you want to instead walk to that ring, with the intentions of pushing two NCW Hall of Fame quality wrestlers to the brink, if you want to go out there and put out the best match that you've every done, then you just might stand a chance, you just might be able to walk out of the show as better wrestlers, as better champions than you walked into it as. You could become legendary tag team champions, I see a lot of talent in you... it's my job to bring that out, to make you use every ounce of it that you can, which I absolutely have every intention on doing. You're going to get the monster trying to break you in half, you're going to get the King of NCW... the only question really is what StarHunter are we going to get? Do you have what it takes to take on the threat of DDKnite head on? We'll see...
either way.... it's going to be the Knite of your lives.
Now with that show of my ego and cockiness out of the way, let me say to those who haven't grasped this yet.... that's not all I am. I'm not solely an arrogant jackass, oh no, I'm quite different really than your bully stereotype. I do what I do simply because it's fun, simply because I like to see other people stand up and fight me. Look at the Revolution and how I demanded for others to stand up against us, how I pleaded for those in NCW to call up to arms and fight us with all they had... I love the thought of people raising their game to challenge me, I love the thought of somebody chasing me, trying to catch me and pass me. No I'm not going all Falcon and trying to say that I love being a mentor and idol, no... I want all of you to want to strangle me, I want to see your blood boiling, the fire in your eyes as you try and take my thrown, it just isn't fun unless there is some emotion coming from you.
That's right... this is all a game to me... got a problem with it? I don't care. Try and tell me how wrong that is, try and tell me how that line of thinking is only going to cause me to fall harder... you'll be lying to yourself.
