I sat in the Marriott Hotel café looking at my cell, continually checking the time. I was waiting on Carly Robbins to interview me as scheduled…and frankly the interview couldn’t come and be done sooner. I hated interviews. These felt pointless to me, because I had said what I already needed to and I hated repeating myself especially in a canned format.
As I sat there drinking a cup of coffee, now hankering for a cigarette, seeing that Carly was now. I was now annoyed at the situation and was about to up and leave when and even worse…thing….made its presence.
In through the café came Davey Ortega followed by the unlucky sap that was his camera man. While I was initially praying for him not to be here for me…I knew those prayers were fruitless as I saw Davey come and take a seat across from me as the camera and the lights were blaring right down on me…
I shook my head and let out a sigh. “This day, really couldn’t get any worse…” I thought to myself.
“Good Afternoon, Mr. Webb…my name is Davey Ortega..and we are here to give you the interview of a lifetime…”
“Who is this guy?” I asked pointing to the cameraman.
“Oh…that is Preston…you know the guy who is usually with me in my promos…”
“Uh-huh…” And for the first time ever, I had to say I actually felt sorry for Joe Everyman. “So…I really ..hate to ask…but why am I getting you instead of Carly Robbins?”
“Listen…” Davey said leaning in and whispering. “I am not proud of this but I led to mislead Carly…you know man the ratings are down…and I had to do something. I feel bad about doing this but just do me a solid and stay and answer the questions.”
I shook my head…I should have left right then and there but for some reason I didn’t…and Lord only knows why.
Davey: Okay…Welcome one and all to the new and improved O-TV. I am your humble host and yes, creator Davey Ortega. Tonight I was offered to take on a new role in that of ace interviewer. My first guest is a man who is waging a war against NCW management, and has been making some statements around…Mr. Nathan Webb.
Nathan: Hey…Davey
{God what was I doing here…doing this…}
Davey: So I think a lot of people want to know is what did you think of what happened at Collision?
{I sat there looking at Davey tapping my fingers, not amused by such a ridiculous question.}
Davey: Don’t you remember…need me to jog your memory…? For you it began with an Ace…
Nathan: Okay…what do you mean think? Listen I am very aware of what happened on Sunday….My sister Rose got a well-deserved win…and the next thing you know we got our asses handed to us. So what is there really to think about…huh?
Davey: Maybe knowing the terms of your Mind Games match? Knowing you will be chained to Adam Knite with a Dog Collar…
Nathan: Oh yeah so getting my legs whacked repeatedly with a roulette rake…while being handcuffed mind you…was freaking awesome since I got to hear the stipulation for match at Mind Games…
Davey: Sometimes loners get mauled. Buck up. Though I think a lot of people are curious on your strategy from Mind Games. I for one am unfamiliar with the match.
{I shook my head wondering if this was pumping up for the interview’s sake or if this guy was that ignorant.}
Nathan: First off for those that don’t know…a dog collar match is essentially the basic no DQ match…except that Adam and I are going to be wearing collars with a big ass chain attached to each of them and oh yeah that chain is going to get used….
Secondly… my strategy…well while I want to beat Adam within an inch of his life…my goal…my main goal is to win…and to do whatever it takes to do so…a win sticks in the record books…and a win shows that I am serious…I am sure you understand that right?
Davey: Oh yeah I understand that drive…though it’s not just some guy on the other end of that chain…It’s Adam Knite…The King of NCW…A man that you have targeted since returning…How far are you willing to go to get that win?
Nathan: It technically is a NQ match so really is there any line to cross?
Davey: There are always lines to be crossed. It takes a certain kind of man to go the distance against Adam and win. Being that it is a NQ match means a repeat of Collision could happen to you. Can you stand toe to toe with Adam and possibly contend with his associates?
{Another self-answering question that could have been answered if he had ears and listened to my promos.}
Nathan: Okay…first off…I know I can stand toe to toe with any of Adam’s associates and not only compete but win but we will worry about that later won’t we…But let me respond to a more important point…the fact that at Mind Games we could see a repeat of what happened at Collision but it could also mean me turning the tables on him…I could make him the bloody…because I as well as the fans and other wrestlers want to see it happen and what deserves to happen…Again I have no real “code” in times like these…and something that I am definitely going to be bringing to my match…thus I have nothing binding me but myself.
Davey: Balls to the walls than? Now I have noticed Rose Acantha, your sister, has been acting strange…er. Will she be a factor in Mind Games?
Nathan: {shaking my head} No for the sanctity of everyone involved…I have asked that she not come to the ring with me. This match is about me and Adam…this match…this rivalry…everything at this time falls on Adam and I and thus well at least I am going to handle the situation like a man.
Davey: {Flashing me a cheap smile} You know, I, myself know what it is like to be through a tragic ordeal like watching your brother get destroyed…If you want you can have her talk to me…
Nathan: {really wanting to slug Davey in his teeth} Dude, really…really you are the last person…and I mean LAST person I would have my sister go to.
{Davey started to laugh chessily after that at which point I asked myself why in the bloody hell I couldn’t get Carly Robbins}
Davey: Point taken…Now good sir, let us shift our focus from your lovely albeit unstable sister back to where it should be…your future…Please tell me you have plans for your attacker…The Ace.
Nathan: Eventually I might do something…I haven’t decided yet…but a slight fulfillment might come if Jake gets beat down by Andrew Jacobson at Mind Games and gets that belt taken from his slimy hands.
Davey: Nathan I have to say you are the most unique wrestler on our roster. You refuse to accept help when you CLEARLY need it…and you hope Andrew Jacobson wins the title that you could possibly fight for if Ace retains. Nathan Webb now here is the hard hitting question that this is all about…In the end if and this is a big IF you somehow win this war…Do you want to take control of this company from Kelly and Adam?
{Wow actually an interesting question}
Nathan: Believe it or not I really don’t want to take over this company…I actually believe that the best person who could run this company...was Kelly Knite…unfortunately Kelly Fox decided to take control…and when she did that is when New Championship Wrestling went down the ****ter… With that it was not about what was best about what was best for the company but what fit her over sized ego…. All I want to see is the person back in the seat of power that made decisions based on what was right from wrong not fair and unfair in her eyes…
I want logic over emotions….
Reason over feelings…
And especially now that Verona is there pulling strings at the top…I know I needed to do something that effected real and serious change within this company…or…well…die trying…
Davey: Ah yes Roberto Verona…our esteemed World Champion…If that National Title holds no interest for you then surely the top prize does. I am sick of seeing nobodies…like Mike Lazlo…If you want to make a full effect…our World Champion is the way to go…
{Wow this guy actually just said that…}
Nathan: So first off I assume you are a somebody with that statement of yours…but let me continue on by saying that Mike Lazlo earned his shot at the title…and he is doing only what I could dream of at this point…showing the world they hypocrisy of Roberto Verona and people like him…but in that chance that Mike Lazlo is not able to beat Verona you can bet your ass I am going to do anything in my power to assert myself in the World Title picture…but of course I have to beat Adam don’t I?
Davey: Well yes…yes you do…You have to best a man you couldn’t do a month ago. You torched his car hand he handcuffed you and in turn made an example out of you. Now you have to be chained to that man and expect a half way fair fight in essentially a no DQ match…you are pretty much a lamb for slaughter.
Nathan: Okay please explain that to me “Mr. Second Rate?”
Davey: {grinning from ear to ear} Adam will employ any and all means to defeat you and not only defeat you but try and drive you out of NCW forever. This isn’t just you versus and Adam and Collision just proved that…This is you versus our staff…and I have to tell you your little tongue in cheek comments you have been making discourages people from helping you with your cause and essentially with your war.
{I really wanted to knock this man out…and frankly it took a lot of discipline to hold myself back.}
Nathan: Be glad I am holding my temper right now but I will tell you this…If you think Adam is the only person who is going to do whatever it takes…then you are sorely mistaken…I burned his car and kicked him in his face after he “gracefully” handed me a victory over Josh Stevens…and that is simply the tip of a gigantic iceberg… On Sunday Adam and I are going to war…and it damn sure going to be bloody…but I refuse to think of myself as simply a sheep to the slaughter…and if you want to talk about my words and actions discouraging people well let me tell you about some people…Those are the people who only seem content with a paycheck and nothing more…I am not that person…a person only content with getting a paycheck and nothing more…I don’t allow myself to have someone else to speak for me and I sure as hell won’t let myself speak for someone else…All I have ever wanted to do in this war is to be the person who get people off of their collective asses and not just think but speak and actually do…if for nothing else but for themselves…so they are not simply walked all over…
So if I discourage some people someone well it sucks to be them…because in the end all those people are going to be is dead…with nothing to show for their sorry lives…So if you like what I have to say and what I do…that’s fine with me…If you don’t I could give less than a damn…
Davey: Wow strong words coming from a man who hasn’t done a damn thing since returning back…
Nathan: You got to start somewhere…and frankly this win over Adam would surely be that start…
Davey: So you intend to make 2013 your year huh?
Nathan: While it isn’t my priority…I do feel that making this year my year would definitely means my impact is surely being felt.
Davey: Well everyone I am sure wants to be “that guy” in 2013 do you think it is a possibility for you?
{Didn’t he just ask that question?}
Nathan: I don’t make guarantees…but if you were surprised by the way I came back…the fact I burned Adam’s car…well I have to say I am sure I have more surprises up my sleeve…
Davey: Well ladies and gentlemen…I would call that a guarantee you can question at our 2013 End of the Year Awards…good luck Mr. Webb…Now get off my set…
Nathan: Dude…we are at the café at the Marriott Hotel…
Davey: {looking around and sighing} Well…Uh do you want to get some coffee?
{God this guy makes my skin crawl.}
Nathan: Hell no…thanks to you I am actually dying for a cigarette now…
