I guess this is what it has come down too hasn’t it Xander?
Our journeys couldn’t have been any more intertwined then what they are right now and at Breaking Away you and I are going to write the final chapter of our careers as being mortal enemies. To be honest it felt like yesterday when I had my good brother in my life. A life where I came out there to that Oswego house with you and your father, and the three of us had a good time drinking a couple down, and enjoying our company as bros. I am not going to get all sentimental on you Xander but it really meant a lot to me because it was those moments that I have longed for since I was born.
I didn’t know my mother as the childbirth in me resulted in her death. I don’t know why she would give life to me despite the doctors telling her she was far too weak to do so after having Jennifer basically within the same year but nothing was going to deprive her of letting her son see the light of day. She gave up her own life just so I could live a happy and free life, and growing up I felt like I was nothing but Scrooge from Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol.” I was forced to live in a world where I was resented greatly by my father, a father who just couldn’t stand to look at me because I resembled my mother too much.
So he sent me away Xander… He sent me away to live with relatives in Detroit, and in doing so I was forced to grow apart from my wonderful sister who made it in her best interest to keep in touch with her brother. She was my very salvation when I was growing up and I honestly don’t think I would be here if I didn’t have her to push me forward. She was that boost of confidence that I always needed to get me going.
Jenny and I may not be actual twins but we are damn sure Irish twins, and the two of us have a connection that makes us inseparable. I didn’t know what to think of you Xander when I found out that the two of you were going out with one another. I just didn’t know what to think, I knew you were a good guy and all but I only saw you as a threat who wanted to take that relationship with my sister away from me, a relationship that I had worked so many years trying to build.
However I know that wasn’t meant to be and if I could say anything to you Xander it would be the words of I am sorry. I am sorry for ever misjudging you. Regardless of whether or not you and I are beating the living hell out of each other senseless you will always be my best friend and much more than that. You will be my brother.
The moments that I spent at your home are moments that I will cherish because I didn’t have that growing up. I didn’t have those family moments and I am glad that I could share and create them with Xander. Regardless of this match result I just want you to know that you have my absolute blessing when it comes to Jennifer. You are a good guy and that’s all I ever wanted since the get go. I just wanted you to know that not giving her the attention was a foolish thing. She treasures you man, more than anything else in this world.
In the same respect that she holds you high all I wanted was to see that in return. When you struck me in the face at her Birthday party I couldn’t help but smile because it meant you really did care. It meant that there was still a piece of the old Xander residing within you.
I love you man…
You will always be my brother…
I just want that to be known as you and I walk into this huge match up…
{We find ourselves at the home of the Williams and it is there where we are taken to the backyard. We are able to see Todd and little Brittany having fun with one another in their backyard. The father and daughter duo are jumping up and down on the trampoline. Brittany does a flip over her father and she bounces off the mat of the trampoline and brings herself back up to her feet. She grins as she bounces off the trampoline and does yet another flip over her father’s head. Todd can’t help but grin as he stares at his daughter with a smirk on his face. Crystal who is standing on the outside of the item smiles as she claps her hands in excitement.}
Crystal: Way to go pumpkin… You really have a thing for flips… I can see it now one day my little pumpkin is going to grow up and she is going to become this Olympic gymnast complete with winning the gold medal and what not. Watch out we could perhaps be staring at the next Gabby Douglas or Dominique Dawes.
{Crystal grins as she just stares at her family having fun with one another. Isn’t this what family time is all about? Just bonding together for the purpose of enjoying each other’s company? Todd however grins as he stares down at his daughter offering her a passionate smile.}
Todd: Wow Brittany… You really are amazing who taught you to do all of that? That is some good stuff….
{Brittany excitedly looks back at her father jumping up and down in excitement.}
Brittany: Auntie Jenny did… When you were gone for a few months, Auntie Jenny and I spent so much time together. She taught me all of this cool stuff including how to flip. It was so awesome!
Todd: I am happy for you Brittany… It’s good to see you having fun with your family… I am sorry I wasn’t around much. I just needed to get away to figure a few things out. I am happy that you are happy though. Nothing else warms my heart more than seeing the smile from your precious little lips. You truly are the best daughter a guy could ever have….
{Todd and Brittany engage into a hug with one another and as they do so, Jennifer walks onto the scene wearing her heavy coat. She glances at her family offering a long sigh as she stares at the three of them.}
Jennifer: Hey… How is my beautiful family doing? Todd you think you and I could have a moment to speak amongst ourselves? I really have a lot on my chest that I need to share with you…
Crystal: Ummm sure thing Jenny… Come on pumpkin let’s go inside and get some ice cream… or maybe hot chocolate it is pretty cold out…
{Brittany nods her head in agreement as she rushes to Crystal. The two of them head for the house leaving just Jennifer and Todd standing outside alone. Todd just sighs as he looks deeply into his sister’s eyes.}
Todd: Look Jenny there’s no turning back now… I hope you didn’t come over to keep the peace between Xander and I because there’s nothing that will stop this match from happening… Xander and I are too deep in this mess to let you pull us out of it…
{Jennifer however just shakes her head as she looks into her brother’s eyes.}
Jennifer: I didn’t come here to stop anything…That problem is between you and him… I am no longer in this anymore. Between hitting all of those officials last month the two of you took this far beyond anything that I could have imagined… I came here because my wedding is coming up Todd and well Xander would never muster up the courage to ask you or he would let his pride get in the way but would you be his best man? It’s the only thing that makes sense to me… Crystal is my matron of honor so it’s only right for you to be his best man so you could walk down the aisle with her….
Todd: Jenny I….
Jenny: Come on Todd… You two are best friends, you are brothers. If you won’t do it for him would you at least do it for me… I want this wedding to be magical. I want to be happy….
{Todd thinks about it for a few moments as he smiles back at his sister.}
Todd: Fine…I’ll do it… but only because you are my sister… It’s definitely not for him….
{Jenny grins as she hugs her brother tightly gazing into his eyes.}
Jennifer: Thank you so much… You really are the best brother in the world….
Todd: Yeah…. Yeah…..
{Todd replies and it is on this image that we fade out on.}
However now that we got that sentimental bull**** out of the way let’s talk about where the two of us went wrong Xander. Do you want to know what the thing was that put a wedge in between our friendship? Do you want to know what the thing was that came in between us? It was the battle for the World Championship. It was the drive to fight one another for the sake of being the best in the world and going out to that ring competing for that thing that makes you the best.
Last month you made this claim that I was jealous of what you had… You made a claim that I somehow envied what you had and at the end of the day I wanted to basically be you. That in itself is just a pile of straight up bull. Why the hell would I want to be you Xander? Why would I want to walk in your legacy when I could create my own, I am sorry that I was the man who outlasted in a match for over a hour and 29 other wrestlers to get the mere opportunity to chase after my dreams.
I am sorry I went all out to make the dream come true… I am sorry that I had put in the time and the effort to be the best in the business. That is the problem that killed our friendship Xander, it was a drive to be recognized as the best and in the wrestling world isn’t that the sole reason why guys like us lace up the boots and we go out there and compete in the middle of the ring? Sure I will admit the fame, fortune, and publicity that comes along with it is something that I admire a lot but we go out there to that ring to be the best.
There is no mistake that you hold records that I cannot fathom to try to tackle. I might not be good enough to break those records and there might not be another man who would come anywhere close into doing the things that you have done in this business but there is a reason why I love to dream Xander. I dream because in my mind I have a goal set out and if I am not chasing after that said goal than what is the purpose of even competing at all.
That is something that I know you would know but upon seeing what you did to Ricky Johnson selling your soul to Kelly Fox just to give yourself a cheap way back to the World Championship makes me feel a little offended. I feel offended because it was I who took that championship from you in the first place. It was I who defeated you, granted it was in a four way match but I still defeated you none the less.
Instead of holding that respect in high regard, you took an easy way out, and that’s the part that makes me highly upset. That is the part that doesn’t sit well with me. I drove myself into becoming a Redeemer Xander. I became a man that saves others because I didn’t like what my best friend had become and if you don’t know it by now that best friend is you Xander.
Today it seems like you are slowly regaining your senses and I respect that. I am glad you are seeing what’s important but that still doesn’t excuse the fact of what you did. This match at Breaking Away is about closure. This is about writing the grand finale of a long drawn out chapter.
I don’t know if I can fully redeem you in a verbal sense there is one way that I know I can save you Xander, and it’s through competing inside of the ring. It’s with our fists because you and I are warriors. We are warriors who leave our everything inside of that ring.
So maybe just maybe I am hoping that blood, sweat, and tears are the language that you can understand. You and I have met inside the ring one on one on two separate occasions and we haven’t had a decisive winner.
This is our third encounter, and hopefully we can have that clear winner among us.
This isn’t about a title…
This isn’t about a catchphrase…
This is just about two warriors standing face to face in the center of the ring, and one emerging as a winner.
I wish you the best Xander…. Win, lose, or draw…. I hope that by the end of it you and I will walk into this match as two great warriors, and we can emerge from this match as best friends….
Let’s Break Away from the past…. It’s time to Break Away the chains that bond us… it’s time to be warriors and it’s time to lay it all in the center of the ring….
Let’s do this buddy… In the only way we know…
See you there…. Todd Williams ain’t no punk… He is coming to handle his on Sunday….
