..::PROLOGUE::..
I would like to start off by telling you all a little story. A story that is apparently an old tale of self love that I found while researching this mental condition that Seth Evans apparently suffers from. I am a huge fan of Greek Mythology, so this was an incredible story. Just to be perfectly clear, the self love I am speaking of is the kind of love of yourself over all others, not the Gib-esque, man to hand self love. Just so we're clear.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who had never seen his reflection. The nymph Echo had been punished by Hera for gossiping by being cursed to forever "have the last word". One day Echo saw Narcissus walking through the forest and wanted to express her love for him. Narcissus heard her but could not see her and when he asked, "Who's here?", all Echo could reply, because of the curse, was "here". When Echo finally revealed herself, she was shocked when Narcissus scornfully rejected her and she fled into the mountains. One day, when Narcissus became thirsty and stopped by a pond to take a drink, he saw his reflection in the water for the first time. Not knowing any better, he fell in love and started talking to it. Not yet understanding reflections, Narcissus thought his reflection was speaking to him and became more engaged. Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away at the pool and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus.
Narcissism is a love for one's self. It can be healthy for one to be confident and have real loving and nurturing relationships. But I feel that Seth suffers from pathological narcissistic tendencies. These can be defined by a few very telling features. All of which, as you will see, easily apply to Mr Evans.
---------------------------------------------------
~Unrealistic Sense of Superiority~
---------------------------------------------------
As we have seen demonstrated time and time again with Mr Evans. He feels he is literally better than everyone in New Championship Wrestling. This is neither true, nor realistic. The man is blinded by his love of himself so badly that he can't see the truth from behind his rose colored glasses. Had he been a sane individual with a healthy view of himself and the world, there is no way he could feasibly believe that he has a shot at winning our match this week, let alone being the best wrestler in NCW today.
---------------------------------------------------
~Pursues Power At All Costs~
---------------------------------------------------
As demonstrated by his promotional videos this week he has a mission. An unrealistic mission, to hunt down Rob Diamond, strip him of the NCW World Championship and be named the champion of NCW. He wants to ascend to the top of the mountain and be considered the best. He wants to control the ebb and flow of New Championship Wrestling at all costs. Classic case, if you ask me!
-------------------------------------------------------------
~Devalues & Exploits Others Without Remorse~
-------------------------------------------------------------
He has stated several times that he doesn't care what he has to do to attain the power he seeks as long as he reaches his goal. If he leaves a wake of destruction in his path, injuring and ending careers in his wake, he will not blink an eye. He would revel in the carnage he left behind and be proud of it. He would mock those that have fallen at his feet and he will sleep well at night with the thought that it was by his hand that those people suffered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
~Lacks Values; Easily Bored; Often Changes Course~
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on my research of Mr Evans, this easily fits his motives. He was climbing the ladder of success. Blowing through opponents left and right. Until he met a wall. An obstacle by the name of Rob Diamond. He has stated that the NCW Champion has ruined his life and shattered his career. Mr Evans became bored of the uphill battle he was fighting against Mr Diamond and his course changed. It changed to downright retirement. He lost his focus. He lost his confidence. He lost his swagger, as they say. And rather than work harder to defeat his opponent, he simply moved on to a life of solitude and depression.
--------------------------------------------------------
~Traumatic Childhood; Lack of Foundation~
--------------------------------------------------------
Now, I can't speak on Mr Evans' childhood as that history is not readily available. However, based on his actions, thoughts, statements, and other qualifying criteria, I would say that he was either an only child that had no boundaries and no rules growing up, thusly he never learned a healthy respect for others, the rules of life, or any other such things. He has grown into a cold and cruel individual and my theory is that it all started at home. He was likley not an only child, but more likely the child of an abusive parent. His father, most likely. He was a horrible person who set a horrible example for Mr Evans. So when the boy became of age, he was out of there and now, we fight that battle with him each and every week here in NCW.
I will commend Mr Evans on being able to escape the horrors he most likely has seen in his life by making it here to NCW, however, getting here is only half of the battle. As he stated previously, he felt as though his life ended. He felt as though his career ended. He felt as though his world was going to come crashing down around him because of the NCW Champion. Well, I have a question for you, Mr Evans. If you think that the NCW Champion beating you made you feel bad. Made you feel so incredibly worthless; so much so that you quit the profession you love.
What's going to happen when a man you call nothing beats you in the middle of the ring Sunday night?
Who is to say you won't be devastated to the point of no return?
These are questions you may want to answer before we step into the ring Sunday night, Seth. These are things you need to come to grips with BEFORE you set foot in the arena this weekend. Otherwise, you may as well pack your bags, put in your letter of resignation, and get ready to move on to the next phase in your life!
..::SETTING::..
The scene opens with Dr Potter and Phillip Claxton leaving the office of Dr Mullins. Claxton walks not too far behind Potter who is walking briskly. He hurries up his pace to catch the good Doctor as he tries to talk some sense into him.
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
Have you gone mad?
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
How do you mean?
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
Dr Mullins just told you that you have cracked ribs and should sit out of your match this week and avoid more damage to your body, and you just walk out of his office?
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
In case you have forgotten, I am also a Doctor, and I have given myself a second opinion.
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
You don't think your ribs are cracked?
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
Oh, they are definitely cracked! Make no mistake about it!
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
Then what did you give yourself a second opinion about?
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
Sitting out of this match this weekend.
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
I must insist that you at least think about this, Jonas! This is your career we are talking about!
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
Indeed! You are right about that! And that is the EXACT reason I have decided to continue on this week in my match, Claxton!
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
You're not making sense, Jonas!
..::SETTING::..
Jonas, aggravated, stops walking and turns around and finds himself squarely in the face of Phillip who stops in his tracks.
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
No! What doesn't make sense, Phillip, is letting something like cracked ribs stop me on my journey here in NCW! If I were to pull out of this match now and let that derelict Seth Evans get an undeserved victory over me, then I will not be doing myself or my career the justice it deserves. I have made it my mission this week to let this man know how incredibly asinine his delusions of grandeur really are! I will not sit out of this match because of a few little injuries...
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
These aren't small injuries, Jonas! These are cracked ribs!
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
It doesn't matter! Injuries are a part of the business, and if I were to go running off and sitting out matches every time I sustained an injury, then I would be looked at as sort of a "nancy" and would never be booked in serious matches. The owner of this company looks for toughness! Intestinal fortitude if you will, and if I went to him and told him that I am not going to be able to compete in this match this week, who knows when the next time he would want to use me would be? I refuse to sit this one out. Cracked ribs or not, I will be at Picture Perfect this weekend!
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
You really are serious!
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
As the perverbial heart attack, Claxton! I understand your concern, I have acknowledged it, and now we can press on. Yes?
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
Absolutely. But as your friend, I am requesting to be at ringside with you during this match. I don't ask to be out there often, but I want to be able to keep an eye on this whole ordeal from out there.
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
Absolutely not!
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
But..
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
Out of the question!
..::PHILLIP CLAXTON::..
Jonas!
..::DOCTOR JONAS POTTER::..
Absolutely out of the question, Claxton! The last thing I need is a Nanny at ringside looking worried the entire match! It's a distraction to me, to the fans, and to the entire match. I'll not have it! So, if you are finished being a worry wart, we can move along now to other things.
..::SETTING::..
Jonas turns, perturbed, and begins walking away. Claxton, with a look of both reservation and concern in his eyes, follows. The walk past the camera, and as the camera spins to see them walking away, the scene fades to black.
..::EPILOGUE::..
It's the story of the week in my world! Claxton hasn't shut up about it in days, and he continues to beg me to not compete this week against Seth Evans. I bet that is exactly what Seth would like, isn't it? An easy way out of this match? An excuse not to compete because in his heart he knows he can't win. He has been looking for an exit since he got into this match, I'm sure. But don't you fret, Mr Evans. I will be there. Cracked ribs or not.
I.
WILL.
BE.
THERE!
Nothing will stop me from walking down that ramp and climbing into that ring willing, able and ready to kick your teeth down your throat. Oh my. I sounded like a bully just then, didn't I? Well, let me rephrase, if you please.
*Clears Throat*
Nothing will stop me from being fully prepared to take you on in any matter in which you wish to compete! I am fully capable of handling myself, and I will not back down because you want me to!
Better?
Yes! I thought so to! Children there are two rules in life! Never start a fight, and never back down from a bully. The moment you start running, you will never stop! Don't be a bully, but don't be bullied either! It's a reckless life to say the least, but if you take pride in yourself, and stand up for yourself, then there is nothing that bully can take from you. I have been there, and let me tell you, it was incredibly hard to finally stop running and turn and face the bully head on. But once you have, it's quite liberating to say the least.
To say the very least!
Seth Evans, you are a bully. And I will deal with you Sunday Night the only true way bullies need to be dealt with. The only way you are accustomed to. The way that Rob Diamond dealt with you. The way everyone in the past has dealt with you.
WITH FORCE!
