“It’s all a question of respect..”
“Do you have it?..”
“Do you believe in it?..”
“Is it relevant in today’s world?”
“Or has it become something else that people fail to understand...”
“It’s an overused term..”
“Yet everyone wants’ it..”
“Fights for it...”
“Needs it...”
“But does anyone understand what it truly means..”
“Do you have it?..”
“Do you believe in it?..”
“Is it relevant in today’s world?”
“Or has it become something else that people fail to understand...”
“It’s an overused term..”
“Yet everyone wants’ it..”
“Fights for it...”
“Needs it...”
“But does anyone understand what it truly means..”
“Money makes the world go round...”
My eyes open, I see a bottle of water sitting in front of me as the light from above hurts my still weary eyes.
“So Roberto. You honestly wish to tell me that the money you’d get by becoming National champion isn’t an underlining cause to you wanting a shot at the belt?. You wish to use your skewed moral base as a reasoning for this and even go as far as to say you will keep getting fined for your big mouth?.”
I cock an eyebrow and take a sip of water, as I place the bottle back down and swallow I smirk and look up, my baby blues shining under the light.
“You love this don’t you?. Playing the part of the rebel?. The bad boy of NCW?. That’s all well and good but it’s been done before. Honestly Robby, you can keep running your mouth about bringing change and bringing a revolution but when I turn around and see you walk into Leonard Fox’s office, throw numbers in his face and talk about the only thing he understands it means that you went from a rebel bringing about change to a little bitch asking uncle Leonard for a present, to make you behave so he doesn’t have to give you another spanking...”
“Maybe I’m wrong Robby. Maybe I am but that’s what it seems to me. You want this title I get it. But don’t stand there and try and fool me and the rest of the guys in the back or the fans of NCW, we all know that this revolution you have is nothing more than a little act to make you stand out from the pack. And I know that for one simple reason. You chose me....”
“Leonard hates my guts, he never wanted me here, the fact I hold one of the biggest titles in NCW is an affront to his very being. So you prance in like a white knight and say that you will make him a pile of money to sleep on...like he needs it...and you’ll succeed where Andrew Jacobsen failed, well I think you made the old man get harder than Steve Awesome at a Hawaiian tropic contest...or Falcon at a freshmen mixer....”
Hmm, a Falcon likes young girls joke. Maybe I am scraping the bottom of the barrel. Or I may be “Charlie sheen winning”....wait..that’s the same thing isn’t it?....
“Let’s face it Roberto, as I sit here listening to you speak I come to a simple realisation that while I respect how tough you are in the ring and the fact you are an intelligent human being you are also full of ****. See you’re smart, too smart. I’m starting to open my eyes and see the haze that you’ve surrounded yourself with. You invented a revolution, you mouth off at the management and you create so much of a stir that you have Leonard eating out of your hand to the point he just handed you what you wanted on a silver platter....”
“You can say that the world title isn’t as prestigious as the National belt but consider the fact that the man challenging for the world title is a man who wasn’t good enough to win this one. Venom and I have defended this title with everything we have. Venom finally gave it up in a hard fought match and since then I have done everything in my power to be a champion worthy of the title’s legacy. And I refuse to allow my title reign to end with me beating the crap out of Andrew Jacobsen twice....”
“Is that the Legacy I leave behind in the National title record?. I’m the guy who beat Venom and then kicked his ass for two months?. I don’t think so. See while you have your fake little revolution to live up to I have a goal of being the best National Champion of all time. See the debate rages on over who was the best X-Division champion. Was it Angel?. Xavier?. Brad Kane?. Rob Diamond?. Or was it me?. This time Roberto..there will be no *** damn debate....”
I smirk and reach down into my bag pulling out the National title placing it in front of me.
“I refuse to let it end with you. I refuse to have the first real challenge thrown in my title reigns way be the last. So while you are a challenge you are not THE challenge. But what is funny to me is that I’m going in as an underdog. Kelly Knite doesn’t even want to weigh in on our match. In the usual pre ppv poll fans have voted you in as the favourite....”
“Yes Roberto, the fans. The people that watch your matches, watch your promo’s and listen to what you have to say. They all believe in you. And that, that I take as a personal insult. For months I’ve faced and beaten the best. In the last three years I’ve been “that guy”. The one everyone thought was talented, the guy many thought could be world champion but would ultimately fail...”
“Many people believe the greatest waste of talent in NCW was Joe Everyman. A guy who was capable of brilliance who would choke and fail. But maybe the true owner of that tag is me. Sure I have big wins over hall of famers, former world champions, I’ve main evented pay per views but I have never lived up to the expectations of many in NCW. People have believed me to be a future world champion and I have had the fall back of not only believing the hype but believing in how good I am...”
I sigh and shake my head.
“The last few months have come with a change in attitude and philosophy. I’m a natural at this Verona. I was born to be a professional wrestler, I didn’t fall into this gig because I got bored with bounty hunting like you did. But because I am a natural I haven’t always been as focused as I should. I got lazy and let my talents go to waste, I just thought I could show up and win without preparation. But now. Well now I know that I need to be focused..and a focused Alex Jones is something that many people cannot beat...”
“You Verona, you are one of the few in NCW who I know I will have trouble with. You say you want to put you revolution behind you for this match, and my quest to be widely recognised as one of the best in NCW. But this match has everything to do with me being one of the best. You are an up and coming star in NCW. A seemingly unstoppable force that is burning his way through NCW. But to be one of the best I need to beat you Roberto, I need to stop you in your tracks....”
“I know it’s easier said than done. But if there’s anyone in this company who can stop you it’s me. I’m well aware of my faults and my advantages. I’m an athlete and I’m one of the most resilient in NCW. So when I stand here and tell you that I can beat you, you better not take it as boasting, you better realise that I am dangerous and when push comes to shove you do not want to take me lightly....”
I smirk and tilt my head...
“Maybe you aren’t going to but if you are going to fall into that trap then you have no chance....see you Sunday Roberto.....”
My eyes open, I see a bottle of water sitting in front of me as the light from above hurts my still weary eyes.
“So Roberto. You honestly wish to tell me that the money you’d get by becoming National champion isn’t an underlining cause to you wanting a shot at the belt?.
