We are not enemies Roberto.
Adversaries? yes. You and I will do battle this Sunday, in Chicago, on pay-per-view. We will fight for the National title, to which I have held and you have become extremely adept at holding onto as of late. And we will have the best match on the entire show because of efforts and talent.
But we are not enemies.
No, we are quite similar, you and I. So much so that the powers that be are attempting, in plain view of everyone, to kill two birds with one stone as it were. You can see it, they're getting desperate to stop us. Think about it, you and I are both prime suspects in the attack on Leonard Fox, we've pushed everyone's buttons, pissed a lot of folks off. We've been a thorn in their sides for a long time. So now, the confused, clueless suits have gone all Demolition man on us. "Send a maniac to catch a maniac" if you will. They figure either I defeat you, halt you brakes, and render you less of a threat, or you defeat me and tarnish my chances enough so that I do not get even a second look at being the next contender for the world heavyweight title.
That's where we stand Roberto.
I'm sure you understand I cannot allow the latter to happen.
Ricky - I still don't see why we have to see this, You already know it's going to be bad.
Roxi - I know. That's why it's fun.
Ricky - You enjoy watching terrible movies?
Roxi - No, just this saga.
Ricky - Ugh. It's not a saga. It's a story about a horny chick and a pedophile.
Roxi - Always straight to the bone with you isn't it?
Ricky - Always.
Roxi - Can't just accept the movie for what it is?
Ricky - What is it?
Roxi - A romance tale. Romeo and Juliet, you know.
Ricky - It's a poorly written, poorly acted, series about three really awful people.
Roxi - I get it. You don't like it. Let's at least have some fun.
Ricky - Fine, but if we get kicked out, it's your fault.
Roxi - Why would we get kicked out?
Ricky - I am going to loudly point out all the stupid crap in this movie.
Roxi - You do that.
Ricky - I could just stand out here and do it.
Roxi - It'll be more fun after the train wreck.
Ricky - If you say so.
Roxi - Plus we get to watch all the teenage girls scream their heads off and cry and all that other nonsense. The audience is just as dumb as the movie.
Ricky - Another reason why we shouldn't see it.
Roxi - Where's your sense of adventure?
Ricky - Let it in my other pants.
Roxi - You should have just forgotten to bring your brain too.
Ricky - Gonna have to to get through this crap.
Roxi - If it's that bad, We'll go see Mission Impossible 4.
Ricky - But you hate Tom Cruise...
Roxi - Exactly.
Ricky - Really?
Roxi - That's the deal. Take it or leave it.
Ricky - Two for Breaking Dawn please.
Make no mistake about it Roberto, in now way am I discounting your skills and abilities. I am thoroughly impressed with you and your current title run. The way you have carried that title makes a former champion like me proud to have worn it. But let me explain something to you right now; that title that is currently around your waist is NOT what I am after. They knew exactly what they were doing when they put me against Zane last month. They knew what the outcome would be. They knew my pride and ...well I guess my sense of doing what's right, would not allow me to allow filth like Zane anywhere near any title match where his 0.001 percent chance of winning might actually happen.
And I took the bait. Hook, line and sinker.
But now I have to turn the tables and end up on top. And to do that, I have to beat you Roberto. I must prove superiority over you on Sunday. That is my new mission.
I take no enjoyment, I love to see Fox and his stooges shaking their collective fists in anger like a Scooby-Doo villian as men like you and I seize power from them.
I have no doubt you will continue to do great things after this Sunday, But as for Sunday itself, I will be better than you. I will emerge victorious because I have to.
Your title will only serve as proof of this.
Ricky - That was the worst movie ever. Of all time.
Roxi - Worse then New Moon?
Ricky - Yup.
Roxi - Worse then Street Fighter?
Ricky - Your damn right.
Roxi - Worse then Rocky 5?
Ricky - A hundred times.
Roxi - Worse than Kazaam?
Ricky - ...Yes.
Roxi - Okay, now I know you're just crazy.
Ricky - Were you just in that theater? Did you not see that abomination?
Roxi - You mean Renesmee.
Ricky - No, not the baby. The whole stupid movie.
Roxi - Yeah, it was pretty bad.
Ricky - So, I guess that means Mission Impossible 4 right?
Roxi - ...Fine.
Ricky - You made the bet.
Roxi - I know. I know. Can we go get banana splits now?
The powers that be are calling this my chance at a "consolation prize" by facing you Roberto. But I don't really call it that. If I haven't made the point clear, the only reason I'm taking that title is the fact that I plan on winning this Sunday. If this match wasn't for your title, it wouldn't change what has to happen for me. They seem to think that with the title around my waist, that both you and I will simply be satisfied with the outcome.
It doesn't and won't appease me to take your title and hold on to it. I don't want it, because I don't need it. I want the world title. That's my goal. It's what I'm here for now. Nothing else matters.
I'm running out of time Roberto. I need to win this Sunday. If I take your title, there may be use for it elsewhere. I can hand it to Joe Everyman and make him a four-time champion. I could melt the belt down into a ring. I could do a number of things with it, because I have no real use for it as a belt to hold and defend.
Truth is I beat Zane because he needed an ass-kicking. If it wasn't fine-printed into the contract I signed to face Zane, We wouldn't even be having this conversation right now. I wouldn't have to deal with you.
I will defeat you this Sunday Roberto, not for them, but for me. They don't like me, just as much as they don't like you. I'm only going to do what I need to in order to get where I need to.
Back to the top.
How does that old adage go?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Maybe. Just maybe.
