Cheyenne Saloon, Las Vegas, Nevada. I stand on stage in the middle of a random night singing a song everyone should know.
"Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days. And the people I meet, we just go our seperate ways. Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink. Sometimes when you're alone, all you do is think. I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I rise, and I'm wanted.... dead or alive. Wanted dead or alllive...."
I look out at the crowd and smirk.
"OOOHHH NOOOW I RIIIDE...."
The house band backing me launches into the solo as I rock out, many people chanting NCW. For some random as **** reason.
"Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride, and i'm wanted....wanted...dead or alive. And I walk these streets, loaded six string on my back, I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back, I've been everywhere, still i'm standing tall, I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all, cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride, and I'm wanted....wanttteed...dead or alive......"
The band slows down as I high five the lead guitarist, nice guy...name was Amir.....middle eastern fella....as I get down and look over I see Chad Lights at the bar with a few of NCW's crew knocking back a few. I go over to be nice and say hello.
"Mr Lights....enjoying las vegas?...."
Chad turns to look at me, his eyes glazed as he seems to clutch a glass in his hands filled with an amber liquid and a few ice cubes.
“I am loving Vegas....Alex...can I ask a question?....why, if, you know, you’re ready to wrestle Joe Everyman are you in a vegas nightclub at 2am singing bon jovi?.....”
I smirk and place my hand firmly on Chad’s shoulder.
“Well Chad. No matter what Joe Everyman says, or does, it will never, ever, be as interesting or as entertaining as me singing bon jovi....”
Chad nods slowly as I simply laugh and walk away.
“I would amiss if I were to fail to mention what I just saw.....”
I pause for a moment and sigh deeply.
“I saw a vanilla, boring, average little man attempt a humorous parody, and fail miserably. I mean a level four troll?. Really?. REALLY?. Level four?. I’m atleast a level seven our even eight. I troll so much the people of Skyrim try to burn my ass with fire. But aside from the lame troll joke let’s look a little closer at your parody. For starters Joe, you in a general’s uniform is just wrong. Seriously who the **** would put you in charge of anything?.”
“That overpriced waste of time was done to do two things. One, to make you appear as if you have a personality aside from the whiny little douchebag. And two, so you can hide how scared of me you really are. And trust me Joe I know you’re scared. I’ve seen it in your eyes whenever we’ve been in the ring or backstage together, I just saw it in that little promo......”
“And it’s because you’ve seen what I’ve done in NCW. You’ve seen the men I’ve beaten and the things I’ve done. We look at your past and we look at your titles reigns and big wins and what have you done Joe?. You’ve never been world champion, you’ve never been a true main event star or a franchise player, you’ve always been in the background, a supporting cast member to the stars. And while I’ve never been world champion, I have video proof of two separate times that the ***damn world title should have been mine....”
I stop for a moment and sigh.
“But people lump me in with you Joe, they talk about us in the same breathe because you and I are looked upon as two of the most talented guys to never be champion. But I am nothing like you Joe and I refuse to be put in the same little category as you. So I may sit here and say many things that others have said about you Joe and maybe you need to look in the mirror and admit that the things we all say about you are true.....”
“And yeah there have been many who you’ve beaten that have bad mouthed you. But me, I’m not like those guys. I’m Alex Jones, I’m one of the most talented guys in NCW and the roll I’ve been on is ridiculous. I keep asking myself who can stop me. And it defiantly isn’t you so I have to look forward to Trent or Adam. That’s where IU belong Joe, on the main card facing legendary guys like them, not on a collision pre-show to A night to remember facing you....”
“But yet here I am stuck in a match with someone who is nowhere near as good as me. We can sit here and flop our lists out and compare who has more names Joe, but the fans and the boys in the back know who’s better and the fans have spoken. They all know I’m going to beat the living hell out of you and that small percentage of people who think you’re going to win are the same toothless redneck jackasses who chant “the ace is in the place” whenever that dumbass says it......”
I scoff and shake my head.
“And if you believe that you’re going to be a four time champion, then maybe, just maybe you can do it Joe. You can have your big comeback after the dip you’ve had. You said it yourself everyone, including me, has had a dip. But see Joe, while my dips have been due to injury and needing time off and me coming back to warm up. But you Joe?. Your “dip” or cold patch or whatnot has gone on for awhile and maybe Joe, maybe it’s not about you rising back up.....”
“Maybe it’s about me helping you realise it’s time to retire. It’s time for old Joe Everyman to walk away from this business and just go home. Go home Joe. Just put the boots away, put the dreams in a little box, and just quit......”
“Hell, it wouldn’t be the first time would it Joe?. This is a big time match Joe, and while we’re stuck on the pre show which honestly I view as an insult, you need to put everything you have in this because the only way you have a chance of winning, is if you kill me, cause no one, and I mean NO ONE is going to stand in my way and stop me from getting that National title back and getting a win over Adam or Trent......I am willing to sacrifice everything...are you?....”
"Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days. And the people I meet, we just go our seperate ways. Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink. Sometimes when you're alone, all you do is think. I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I rise, and I'm wanted.... dead or alive. Wanted dead or alllive...."
