Full steam ahead.

[Seth Evans]

November 19, 2011

{The scene opens up inside of a restaurant, where we see Seth Evans and Kiela sitting at a small booth. Both of them are enjoying a meal while Kiela's eyes are looking up at her love, who has a smile on his face as he indulges himself into the burger that he had ordered. After a few moments, he lifts the napkin to wipe his face clean and notice that Kiela hadn't taken much more than a bite from her own order.}

Kiela:
"Are you having a good birthday?"

{Unable to contain himself, Seth chuckles and has a smirk on his face.}

Seth:
"It's not my birthday. Tomorrow is."

Kiela:
"But you have a match tomorrow, so we have to celebrate tonight."

Seth:
"Plenty of celebration to be had when I beat Roberto."

---

It wasn't meant to be. Roberto Verona was assisted in dodging a bullet by the match not being able to take place... fine with me. I don't really feel like facing him without having that National Championship on the line. Don't get me wrong, though. Roberto. I respect you. I respect the force that you've become in New Championship Wrestling from the very first time that you laced up your boots inside of the locker room! I believe that the fans did deserve to see a match between us. Between two of the youngest, rising stars in nCw.

And they will.

I believe that you have what it takes to defeat Ricky Johnson in the middle of the ring and retain your National Championship... when that's done, I'll come for you. I'll take that title from you.

You're not my concern this week.

I've got Mike Laszlo and Doc. Chris. However people know him, however people want to call him... I don't care. I like to save the best for last, so --- no offense to you, Mike, but I'm going to start with you.

I don't even know you.

I don't know what you're capable of doing inside of the ring.

The only thing that I've noticed over your few months inside of the nCw ring has been one thing: you're not consistent. I've seen you step into the ring more times trying to keep your career in this company than I've seen you wrestle an actual match! That's why... I'm truly not concerned with you. I'm truly not bothered by you. Because the only way that you're going to even make the fans notice you, or even make administration notice you, is if that pressure of your career is put on the line.

Get your head in the game.

You need to find something worth fighting for to keep all eyes on you without having to put your future on the line.

The next person on my list is Chris... Doc... I know you a little more than some people think. It was your own sister that introduced me to the world of professional wrestling, and to this day, tries to keep me on the right track. Because of her, I remember seeing you inside the training facilities... remember being struck with awe over what you were capable of doing.

There's no denying how great of a wrestler you are, and there's no questioning the heart that you and your family have for this business for how long you fight for it! Throughout this injury that very well could have ended your life.

You asked me if I'm still a legitimate threat...

The answer is yes.

You can ask anybody that would step into the ring. I have not lost my focus, I have not lost my drive. I'm still moving forward. I had... a little incident... that I dare not speak of that kept me from getting in the ring with Roberto --- that was just a small bump. A very small bump.

Much like my loss in Road To The Gold... much like my loss to Gjenrei.

I'm still standing. I'm still here. I'm ready to move forward.

Are you?

Or are you grasping at the end of your rope, trying to keep your career alive? Like Mike Laszlo. That's the difference between both of you, and myself. I'm not grasping at the end of the rope. I'm climbing.

Full steam ahead, buddy. I'll beat both of you this Sunday, and I'll let the nCw world know that I'm still here. I'm still standing. And I still have my eyes on the prize.
