**I was too lazy to switch to my other account**
What is there left to say. I don’t want to end up being long winded and boring as so many others are accused of around here while they are trying to make a point or a philosophical argument. See, the people here they don’t have the attention span they need to. Blame it on video games or too much fluoride in the water or whatever you want but it is hard to tell a story when people are seemingly all suffering from ADHD and when you tell a story people use the ever so original response of…
Oh man, you are so boring.
Have we become so lazy as a country and community that we resort to such immature reactions to what probably are things that are just a little too difficult for you to understand? This game isn’t all about two men in a ring, which is what separates us from normal boxing or mixed martial arts we tell stories we make comments and we try to entertain people.
Let us be entertaining.
I may say a thing about a guy being a douche or about a person not knowing his ass from a hole in the ground but ultimately when it is said and done, when I see these men in a locker room, I am going to shake their hand. I am going to take them out for a beer and I am going to back them up when they need it.
Except Jason Evans, who I really can’t stand at all.
I loved listening to the intricate details about Gjenrei, his eloquence of speech is amazing and his ability to tell a story is awe inspiring. He has ignited a passion and a desire to perform and to take this game to the next level. I want to know the secrets that exist under the mask and the reason he wears it. I want to know what his story is.
I love this business.
Watching Seth grow from a cocky ignoramus thinking that the world owed him something because he proclaimed himself great has been one of the stories that in many ways has mirrored my own. I was like you at one point Seth, I was a cocky arrogant kid that thought I was owed something and I changed, boy have I changed.
Seth I want you to be a champion, I want you to see success and good things because you deserve them. But, I don’t want to see you take my title, I don’t want to see you take my championship.
I love this business.
That is what makes this business and this game different, the fact that we grow, we develop and we change. The fact that we have the opportunity to share our changes with the world and the ability to have so many people go on our journeys with us. I am glad that my change has been documents, I am glad that my path has been viewed and I hope that through my change and through my story someone else is inspired.
That is the power of this business. And that is why I am proud to be a part of it.
{Scene opens, Todd and Xander are standing on a street and waiting by a crosswalk, a little old lady appears and Todd pushes Xander towards her.}
Todd: Now is your chance, you have the chance to be a huge heel. That old woman represents a big opportunity. There are a lot of things that you could do to her, like ask her if she needs help across the road, bringing her half way and then leave her in the middle of traffic.
Xander: What happens if she gets hit?
Todd: Manslaughter, but normally people won’t hit the elderly. Ok, you are a beginner I need to remember that, so, you can go over to her and trip her. I mean, that is funny and heelish tripping old ladies.
Xander: Old women are frail and what if I break her hip?
Todd: Come on man, you are killing me. Then go say something funny to her.
Xander: Ok, yeah, that’s a good tweener thing to do. I will go up to her and make a ruthless comment.
Todd: Boom, instant heelshot!
{Xander walks over to the elderly lady and you can see him talking to her she nods and then crosses the road without incident. Xander lowers his head in shame and walks back to Todd}
Todd: That didn’t look like it went so well.
Xander: No, I thought I had hit a home run. I told her “I bet if you were younger you would be hot.” She just said something about how she used to be able to something about a garden hose and a golf ball.
Todd: What? That was your insult. You suck.
Xander: Yeah, I am pretty humiliated right now.
Todd: Watching you try that was more uncomfortable then a Bates promo.
{Uncomfortable silence as a woman walks by, holding a child’s hand.}
Xander: Did you bring that candy?
Todd: Yeah, why the hell do I need lollipops?
Xander: Because, good guys do good things. Give that child there a lolly.
Todd: That seems easy enough.
{Todd approaches the people and the lady smiles as he hands the lollipop to the women, Todd walks back}
Xander: That went well, I am surprised she took the lollipop.
Todd: Why, because you shouldn’t take candy from strangers?
Xander: No, because you are black.
{Todd shakes his head in disappointment as the child starts crying. His frowned face turns to a smile as the two men walk down the street}
Xander: Wow, that kid was upset. I wonder why.
Todd: Well, I did give that kid a **** flavored sucker.
Xander: Dude, that isn’t facelike at all.
Todd: I told you, I am going to be a tough nut to crack. I mean business when it comes to being a heel.
Xander: TODD MEANS BUSINESS!!
{Scene fades}
This weekend you are going to see something special. You are going to see a match the way a wrestling match is supposed to be done, with five men all aiming at a single goal one at a time. Sure, I have heard the conspiracy theory that I have been placed in a match where speed and agility are the best attributes to have so that the belt could be stripped from my waist, so that I can bring ratings in the Road to the Gold.
And I won’t lie, being in the Road to the Gold would be a great honor, I would love to be in that tournament again. I was in it a few years ago, I was in that tournament and I lost in the second round to Philip Burns and I knew and still know that this tournament is something I must go through again. It is something that I must right.
But now is not the time, I am already the gladiator of the nCw, I have had my chance at the spotlight and I failed. I know I will be ready to rise to the top of this place again someday, but right now I don’t feel it is time.
Plus, I am not willing to relinquish this title. I am not ready because I want to hold this title for a very long time. I want this title to be coveted and longed for by each and every member of this roster. People are drawn to things that are out of their reach, expensive cars, gorgeous women and designer jewelry.
This title since its inception has been on an endless carousel ride going from one titleholder to another in succession, changing owners frequently. I refuse to allow this to happen; I refuse to hand this title to the next competitor. I am defending it and I will defend it month after month, I will defeat challenge after challenge and I will go down in history as the greatest X Champion ever.
{Scene opens again, Gib and Xander sit on a couch watching television. The promos from various wrestlers are on the television and the two are talking}
Gib: You are definitely the favorite to win this match. Sometimes it sucks to be the favorite. A lot of pressure is on you, especially considering this match isn’t exactly one that people like us excel at.
Xander: I know, these guys are fast and agile, and they can climb fast. I am going to have to knock them all out, and that is just in order to have enough time to get to the title. You know I always sucked at the jungle gym.
Gib: That’s true, watching you on the monkey bars was like watching a dog hump a football. It wasn’t enjoyable even though it seemed like a novel idea at the time.
Xander: Thanks.
Gib: Hey at least I am honest. You know son, I think your best bet for this match is to rip that whole structure down from the ring. Wait until the guys are climbing on it, the break one of the poles in the corner. They will all fall and you can walk to the center of the ring and grab the belt.
Xander: Not a bad idea, but those are pretty strong steel poles aren’t they?
Gib: Not as strong as your will boy. You have proven that several times. Get your head out of your ass, go to the ring and break those little guys in half.
Xander: You got it pops…
{The two turn their attention to the screen where Bates is shown kissing his “partner”}
Gib: What this **** is that crap?
Xander: Didn’t you know, Bates is gay.
Gib: Really? Huh. I thought I felt a bit of a bulge when he locked up with me from behind. Well, good for him. And good for me for being retired.
{Xander looks at him shaking his head as the scene fades}
Wow Caleb you are full of Venom aren’t you. You who throw the insults like a master wordsmith taking my discussion and turning it against me in a way that makes me question my very existence.
Well, maybe not. It seems like you may have listened to a few words of my promotional material and then turned it off. Sure I was talking about how I wasn’t impressed with the Japanese wrestling world based on my fathers interactions with that country, which mirrored those of Terry Gordy and Steve Williams. But, if you had listened for a brief second or two more you would have heard about how I had changed my opinion after tagging with Gjenrei, you would have had your eyes open to the ignorance which obviously has taken your world by storm.
Gjenrai doesn’t have a problem with what I said about him, but you do. It is interesting. I think you are fishing here. You know that I am on a different level then you my friend, you know that my eloquent vocabulary and choice of verbiage are far to complicated for someone of your mental capacity to understand so you play the role that I am sure you have played your entire life, that of an ignorant douche.
But hey, I have some good news for you. After this weekend you can cancel your next proctology appointment, because I am going to shove your head so far up your ass that you are going to be able to check your own prostrate for polyps.
And Jason, I was hoping that my little poll this week would help you, it would make you realize that you aren’t anything special, that you aren’t as attractive as you think. I wasn’t trying to make myself out to be some hot stud, but what I thought would happen… Happened.
You received no votes, you received not one word of praise regarding your looks so please get a dose of reality. I am not trying to crush your dreams, I am not trying to take everything you have worked so long for your entire life and smash it. I just want you to stop being a one trick pony.
Or if you are going to be a one trick pony at least be a pony that uses a trick that is relevant to it.
For example, you could play the part of a mentally retarded professional wrestler. You have all the tools for that.
This weekend is going to be one crazy ass match. I know it won’t be easy and I know that I am not going to walk away from this match with an easy victory.
But I will walk away the champion. And I won’t stop until I have cleared this entire division out.
What is there left to say. I don’t want to end up being long winded and boring as so many others are accused of around here while they are trying to make a point or a philosophical argument. See, the people here they don’t have the attention span they need to.
