*The scene opens in the relatively simple hotel room of The Ace and much like the room, the scene inside was a simple one where the man himself is sat on the bed, Tiffany is sat up on the other side cradling Solitaire in her arms who seems at ease, unlike her father...who just keeps hid eyes fixed on the monitor as he watches Dave spend at least three quarters of his promo talking about nothing that mattered...*
Dave, you really do have a knack for being able to talk about nothing that matters either to me or to anyone in nCw so unlike you I'm going to come straight to the point and actually tell you why none of these things matter or will have any consequence for our match tomorrow night...and I will start with the thing I could care the least about...right now, and that is that other place where you beat me for that other belt...yes you ended my reign with that minor league belt, and yes I expected you to throw it back in my face, but do you think I honestly care that much about it now that I'm going to go on a rant about how it was a fluke, how you just got lucky?
*The Ace raises an eyebrow*
Not this time...
*The Ace smirks*
In that other place, I was without focus, lacking direction, I was always the underdog, nobody respected me even as a champion, all because a man had gone before me, a lesser man that they considered a legend because he was a gambler who shared my name...from day one I was considered the rip off, the copy, the imitation...but I know in my heart that I have always been the one true Ace in this business - and that night you beat me, I was your big break, I was the man who put you over, forced people to see you beyond the tremendous tag team wrestler you were, are and will continue to be...and if you think this Sunday that I will once again be the man to cut you a break, to bring you into the singles realm as a legitimate threat, think again...I am done creating stars who fail to respect me or even acknowledge me...now, here in nCw, its all about me and what I can do for myself...
*The Ace laughs*
See, I don't need to go on a long drawn out speech about how I have changed, how I am not the man you faced, and most of all I am not the man you were so quick to label as a wannabe Dave Holland, all those years ago...I don't need to tell you how much I've improved, how much I've garnered from those early days, the culmination of my hard week ever since I arrived here in nCw speaks for itself, and its obvious that you just haven't been listening, even as I turned up the volume last week you still address me with a deaf ear, a blind eye, an ignorant mind, and a running mouth...who else can say they beat the first Hall of Famer, the first nCw World Heavyweight Champion, a former National Champion and the current World Heavyweight number one contender in the same match, on the same night? And you, Dave, you still want to believe that I haven't changed...you want to ignore the reality because you are comforted by your perception...but this Sunday, I will make you very uncomfortable indeed...when the reality hits you even harder than I will...you're right Dave, we're no strangers to each other...but equally we're not friends either... and that is why if you piss me off by continually underestimating my resolve, I will make sure that Melanie has her husband not only put back in a wheelchair, but put on the shelf permanently...its the least I could do, and if I did, I'm sure you would thank me in the end for giving you so much more time to spend with your family...
*The Ace laughs*
I know all about you and your brother Dave, and yes Milo beat me but he didn't last too long with the prize he fought so hard for, infact he lost it to one of the men I beat only last week, so that isn't doing much to help your case...I do know the games you like to play eith your opponent's mindset, but I'm afraid its all water off a duck's back for someone that has known you as long as I have, as you say I don't need a demonstration for what your all about, but it's quite clear that you need a re-education as to what I'm all about, because all those things you claim to know about me and my speed, skill, technique, strength and ability, you should know that the passing of that knowledge was never a one way street, if indeed you can counter it everything I have, then you should know that the same can be said for you and what you bring to the ring...you want to claim your just as dangerous as your brother but in a different way, well even if that is true it is not much of a threat, since the best your brother could manage on his own was one of the shortest National Championship reigns ever, not to mention being beaten by Sloppyy Joe...and let's not forget that Milo simply took advantage of when that bitch distracted me, but now Ruth is all behind me...and Tiffany, well she knows not to get involved in my business in that ring...so this time it will be just you and me...and I know that your ego is just as inflated as your claims that you can counter everything I will throw at you...such ridiculous claims are exactly why I sided with the uprising, you so called top dogs are nothing but very high strung little bitches with a bark infinitely worse than your bite...you say I don't deserve your respect and attention, yet that I deserve everything that is coming to me, and that everything is you...how delightfully contradictory...
*The Ace smirks*
See you go on and on about how I should beat the number one contender for any title I want, well last week I did that, I proved that I'm better than Christian, yet he still has a main event spot he doesn't deserve, I proved I'm better than a man whose still whining about the National Championship he lost and most of all I proved I'm better than the absolute best in this company, and still I am without a title or the PPV headline...so you see I've already tried your way, now I will do things my way...and I will prove that I am better than the best Holland...our demands will be heeded, even if we have to write it in your own blood, even if I have to brand you with my sledgehammer, we will not be ignored any longer...and when we're done, I'm betting that not even you will know what to expect...I will not waste any more time telling you what I will do, I will simply show you on Sunday...its probably best you don't have a contract per say, believe me in the end it'll save the xompany a lot of time when they just might be forced to release your piddly ass...
*The Ace laughs as he gets up and heads to the en suite bathroom, seemingly having said all he wanted to to Dave Holland...inside The Ace steadies himself against the sink, gripping it with both hands, haviing suddenlt come over all light headed, he suddenly vomits, coughing and spluttering rather helplessly, his throat burning with the acidic after taste in his mouth, he screwed up his mouth, repulsed by its bitterness...suddenly The Ace feals a hand slide across his shoulder...he looks up and sees a concerned Tiffany's face looking back at him...*
Tiffany: Honey, you alright?
I'm fine...
*The Ace knew he wasn't - a Holland had gotten to him again*
Tiffany: Are you sure that you should even go through with this match?
*The Ace turns to her, falling into her embrace...she holds him tight as he buries his head in her shoulder...*
I have to Tiff - even though I've never beaten Dave - or Milo, for that matter - I guess I'm letting it get to me...my god, I haven't even won a single pay per view match since I came here - I have to do this, I have to slay my demons for my own sanity, I can't let anyone down, least of all you and Soli...
Tiffany: But you already have let me down, Jake...
*The Ace looks up and to his horror its not the face of Tiffany he sees anymore, but the face of Ruth...then...Snowy...then Tanya...*
What did you say?
*He blinks and Tiffany is back...*
Tiffany: I said you could never let me down, Jake...even if Dave wins, I'll still love you, and so will Soli, we're not going anywhere...
*Tiffany kisses him, and for that moment, The Ace felt a new relentless confidence fill him, as if drawing strength from her, the two lovers remain locked in their passion as the camera fades to black...*
