Monty this seems strange to me
The movies had that movie thing,
But nonsense has a welcome ring
And heroes don't come easy

The Second Rate Riders lost last week. And I honestly can't tell you why. On paper, we were the stronger team. The other two are nobodies compared to us. And yet... here I am, admitting defeat. I don't know how it happened. I wish I did, because I could figure out some way to get ready for this week. But, I just don't see that happening the way I wanted it. So, instead, I'll tackle this week with a different approach.
As much as I hate to admit it... Matt Jackson taught me something last week. He taught me to never judge a book by it's cover. That's something I can't afford to do every again in my career. Just because he looks and acts like a bitch does not mean he's a bitch. We should have won that match, I got over-zealous, and we lost because of it. I had so much confidence that it turned to cockiness which turned to letting our guard down. We can't afford to do that again. Someone could get hurt, either physically or mentally. We can't let that happen again. Instead, we have to band together and take down whoever stands in our way. And this week, it happens to be Jabari and Matt again. But now, it's divide and conquer. I personally hate that notion. If a team is a team, fighting individually proves nothing. Sometimes, you can have a bad night. Sometimes, you can be so good that nothing can beat you. In a team setting, that balances out. No matter what, you are what you are. In individually, the tables can turn. This week is going to be interesting for us.
Even after a full week of thinking, I still don't know what to say about Matt Jackson. He's sort of an enigma. Apparently he was in the military. He's a cocky brute. Otherwise... what is your back story, Matt? I just don't see it. Everybody has their positives and negatives about their lives, and yet with yours, I can't find any either way. We just know nothing about you. And call that an advantage if you want, because in some ways, it is. Everybody in this industry knows who I am. They know all about my personal life and it's ups and downs. And here you are, standing toe to toe with me, trying to be my equal... and yet, you're far from it. And in some ways, that's good. You can know you, but we can't know you. But, I can tell something with you. One of these days, a big truth about you is going to come out. Something you've tried for so long to hide from us. And when it does, everybody will jump on it and ruin you for it. I know this, because they did the same for me. They've done the same thing to everybody here. They'll eventually get to you too.
Maybe that's what I need to do. I need to let less people into my life. I've very susceptible to people picking apart something of mine. It's hard to focus on a match when you want to just hurt somebody. I've been in that situation too many times. And I can't do it anymore. Everything that can be said about me has been said. Anything now is just recycling old material. Nothing you can say to me will phase me anymore, Matt. I know what kind of life I have. I know what kind of career I've had. None of it is a new things to me. So, at the end of the day, I'll still be able to stand tall with my chin up. I'll be able to do this because I know what I've gotten myself into. I know what I must do to succeed. I know what I have to do to make it through this f*cked up thing we call life. I feel a rant coming on, but I won't go into it. That is neither here nor there for this week. This week is about moving on.
One of us will prove something this week. If I win, I'll prove that last week was a fluke. But if you win, you'll prove that you are here to stay. It's a big week for the both of us. We'll both come on, guns-a-blazin'. We'll both have something big to prove. But, I know that I'll come out on top. This isn't as big of a caliber as I'm used to... but when it comes to a big match situation, I rarely lose. I just have what it takes. I know what must be done in those matches. And you never know. If Davey and I both win this week, maybe it will set up another tag team match, where the winner goes on to face the Tag Team Champions. That would be just lovely. But, if that's not the case, we'll earn it some other way We refuse to get up. This revolution is stronger than ever. And despite our losing ways, nothing can possibly derail us now. You don't have some hidden ace up your sleeve, Matt. That I am sure of. Your cards are all on the table. I, however, still have a trick or two saved up for a rainy day. And when it comes to crunch time, I'll come out on top. And do you know why, Matt? Because I'm just better.
Now nonsense isn't new to me
I know my head, I know my feet,
But mischief knocked me in the knees
Said, Just let go, just let go
I know my head, I know my feet,
But mischief knocked me in the knees
Said, Just let go, just let go
