Awesome: Hey Jack. I figured since you were just doing the whole “Zordon” thing I figured I’d match you and do my own floating head deal. I kind of like it this way, it’s sort of like I’m looking right at you. And that’s good because I wish I was looking directly at you. Because I really wanted what I’m about to say, to be said to your face. But that’s okay. I hate you. It’s better were not in the same room, you know? I might just get the urge to kick your head in.
So I watched your promo earlier. Didn’t really like it to be honest with you. It was a little too thick for my taste. I felt like if you eliminated a decent chunk of the speech it would have been a top notch promo. If I could offer a suggestion, I’d probably have to say that you should cut out everything after the first part. If you did that then I would have been happy. When you first started talking it sounded like you took what I said last time to heart. It looked like you were actually going to accept the fact that I don’t give a rats ass about your bleeding heart causes. I thought maybe you would give up on the “save the world” mumbo jumbo for three miserable ****ing seconds and focus on your match this damn Sunday. Maybe look into the fact that your going to get your teeth kicked down your throat at “A Night to Remember”.
But you didn’t go that route did you Jack? No of course not, because in typical Reckless Jack fashion you had to go into lecture mode on me because I choose to let your issues slide off my shoulder like it’s no big deal. What’s a matter Jack? Does it make you angry that I don’t care? Or do you think if you drill it into me long enough that one day I’m just going to drop to my knees, stop resisting, and gradually learn to accept it? Well it’s not going to happen Jack. I’m not going to play a part in your sick fantasies, so you can stop wasting your breath.
I just don’t care.
And do you know why? Because people are stupid. Idiots! When it comes down to it, they really have no idea how to take care of themselves. When our great grandparents were kids they had strict rules and regimens. They had school and chores and manners. They never even touched drugs or alcohol. Now, in OUR generation, half of the people in the world can’t even hold a job. There’s people who have screwed themselves so hard that they are never going to get back up. There’s people so addicted to drugs that they either have to do that drug or die. How messed up is that? That particular drug is in there system so much that there body literally needs it to survive. There life is now wasted! And they did it all to themselves and now you want me to feel sorry for them and offer them a hand?
**** that!
Not when I know that I did things the right way. Granted I had natural talent to begin with, but I spend a lot of time in the gym. I take a lot of time to just study this world of wrestling just SO I can be that damn good in the ring. Just so I can spend a little dough at a night club and have a bit of fun before I go back to work. Is that against the law? Having some fun? I put one hundred percent effort to get where I am, Jack. And now you want me to drop my life just so I can help the drug addicts and stop the all the drugs and horrors in the world because our fellow humans are too stupid to figure out for himself that it’s a bad situation. It’s sad that more and more of those low life ass wipes are falling faster and faster each year, but it just goes to show you how are society is dwindling.
People as we know it are getting dumb. You can agree with me on that right Jack? People are seriously just pathetic with some of the things they do. The drugs, the alcohol, the reality TV, its just a gradual loss of responsibility. But I like to look at it in a more positive light. It’s adaptation. Darwinism in its finest. Eventually people are going to realize that they should really cut the crap, and until then just let them do whatever they want. They don’t need you telling them what to do. They don’t need to hear Reckless Jack’s life story every time he comes on TV just because he has been part of a ****ed up childhood. Newsflash, Jack, now a days EVERYBODY has had a ****ed up childhood. I even told you about mine. The difference is that I’ve learned to accept the fact that it happened and adjust my life accordingly so that it doesn’t happen again. You just want to keep telling everybody who will listen that you were brought up in hard times like it makes you any different than anybody else. Here’s a suggestion Jack, take your life story and tell it to NA.
That’s just my opinion on the matter. That’s how its going to stay, Jack. So either learn to accept it or realize that the next time you dive into another one of your lectures I’m just not going to listen to it. You say your sick of me, I’m ****ing sick of watching a telethon instead of a damn promo.
Oh…and by the way….me standing on that balcony looking at where I grew up wasn’t supposed to be dramatic effect. Dramatic effect would be tracking down some mob boss for killing your brother and then forgiving him! What I did was more like a metaphor. I am above my childhood. It’s below me now and I can move on. Sorry you couldn’t grasp that Jack.
But it’s cool man. If you want to continuously talk about how your life and your drug free lifestyle in every promo you ever cut then go ahead. You talk about Ace being boring but at least he isn’t predictable. I’d like to talk about the match though, just like I’ve been doing each time I got in front of a camera. See everybody thinks that your unbeatable. Everybody thinks that you can never be stopped. That might be true, but I think that it’s only because you haven’t faced the right opponents yet.
You beat me last month at Sovereign, that’s true. But isn’t that how the pattern goes with us Jack? You beat me, I beat you, you beat me, and now….its my turn to beat you. It may not of been in an nCw ring but all of that still happened Jack. You can’t deny it. And each time I face you I take a little bit more away from it. Last month you got me with that ATS pile-driver, this month I’m going to be looking for it.
See the fact is, I know what it takes to beat you. I’ve done it before. I’ve pinned your shoulders to the mat. It is possible. Same goes for Spike. You two aren’t as scary as you’d like to think you are. And this Sunday, your facing the greatest tag team in the world today! The Smokin Aces. And your just a pair of twins who believe there own hype.

Steve Awesome walks out of a big black door marked “studio” on it with big white lettering. Obviously where he just cut the previous promo in. He grabs a water from a cooler nearby and then hits play on a monitor as the same promo comes up on the screen. He watches intently as he guzzles down the water.
“Don’t worry, man. I thought it was pretty good.”
Awesome looks back behind him and the camera reveals the owner of the voice as fellow Empire member James Franklin Karn.
“I hate facing Reckless Jack some times.”
Steve says, still watching the monitor.
“Why? Because he kicks your ass?”
JFK quips with his sly grin. Awesome shoots him a hard glance.
“No. Because no matter what my original intentions were going into the studio, I always come out having talked about all that drug crap. It’s like he can’t stand the fact that not everybody wants to feel sorry for him because him and his brother were stupid enough to allow themselves to fall into that type of lifestyle.”
JFK nods.
“I don’t know about Jack, but I know that we had DARE in high school. I know that I didn’t get into drugs and alcohol to much because I knew what they could do.”
“It’s typical American life though, dude. People ignore all the warnings and the dangers and try drugs anyway. They get hooked and become a drain on society and then what does Jack do? Wage war on drugs! Grr! It’s the drugs fault that people tried them even though they knew what would happen. That’s why I say let them do it, eventually all the idiots will kill themselves off and we will be left with us smart people.”
“But that isn’t really important in the long run. What is important is winning at “A Night to Remember”. I didn’t join the Empire to lose.”
“Well, I’m the one with a match that is going to take some effort. You on the other hand are basically getting the National Title handed to you on a silver platter. Joe Everyman and John Anthony? Come on now!”
JFK grins.
“Hey, one of us needs to win that belt.”
Awesome glares at his friend again.
“You can get the hell out of my studio for that one.”
“I’m going, I’m going. But hey, maybe if your lucky, I’ll let you actually touch a singles title. How does that sound tag team boy?”
“Tell me again why I suggested you to join The Empire?”
Awesome asks him as he is heading out the door.
“Because I’m better than you?”
Awesome attempts to answer but JFK quickly slams the door shut before he can. Awesome just shakes his head and grabs his hoodie so that he can head out as well. As he puts it on an index card flutters out of the pocket and hit’s the floor. On it? The address to where Carly was staying.
We cut as we find Awesome walking through the hall of a hotel. He is looking at that same index card and scanning the door numbers for the right one. He stops finally as he finds the right door.
“I think this is the place.”
He balls up his fist and raises it to knock. But before he does, he looks at the camera.
“I know what your thinking. Last time you saw me I was talking about how I was going to change my ways. How I was going to treat Layla right. And now that I’m here, outside Carly’s hotel room, you probably think that I’m going to go in there and completely contradict what I said. Well I assure you that isn’t the case at all. As a matter of fact, everything I said previously still holds true. I’ve realized that I do in fact love Layla. I’m just simply going to let Carly know this and get a little closure on the situation.”
He grins.
“And you people thought that I was a horrible person.”
He snickers as he knocks on the door. It doesn’t take long for it to open and we find Carly standing in the door frame, looking hot in nothing but a Steve Awesome t-shirt.
“Hey Carly, I just came by to…..”
Steve’s jaw drops to the floor. Carly just smiles.
“You want to come in?”
Awesome nods slowly as Carly grabs him by the wrist and pulls him into her hotel room. Inside looked like a scene from a romantic movie. The lights were dim and there were candles flickering all over the place. Carly takes a spin around the room to help show it off.
“So you like what you see?”
“It’s very nice. I dig that shirt as well.”
“Well I can give it to you if you like?”
She starts to lift it off her body but Steve stops her.
“Stop that!”
Carly is confused by this.
“What’s wrong?”
“I just thought that maybe we could talk…or something?”
They take a seat on the bed in the room.
“What did you want to talk about?”
“About how much I love it when those legs get together and make an ass of themselves!”
He said, mesmerized by the hotness of Carly.
“Well, there’s more where that came from.”
She grabs the side of his face and kisses him.
“*ahem* Well then, your definitely making it difficult for me to tell you.”
“I need to tell you something too. Me first.”
“No, no. I should go first.”
“But it’s really important. I can barely hold it in.”
“Yeah well, I’m sure your going to want to hear this. So hear it goes.”
Steve takes a deep sigh.
“Look Carly, you’re a very, very, very hot chick. But I can’t be doing this because I have a…..”
“You have no idea how I feel about you, yes I know!”
“Well I’m glad you took that well and….wait! What?”
“It’s okay. I understand. And that’s what I wanted to talk about. The other day when I said I had a crush on you…that was just an understatement! I mean it’s no doubt that your one of the sexiest men in wrestling these days and when I first got the job as interviewer, I noticed that first hand. God, your abs alone just made me melt. But then when we started hanging out and everything I got to get to know you and now I know your more than just a pretty face. You’re a great, man. Your respectable, your honest and you have a big heart. And that makes me want you even more!”
This causes Awesome to look at the camera again with a “Is she serious?” kind of look.
“No. You don’t understand, I did all that stuff just so I could get in your-”
“Mind. Yes, I know. Jeeze, Steve you are sounding pretty dumb right now.”
She giggles.
“But that’s okay. I know that right here and now is the start of something new. That’s why I set all this up, so that you will know exactly how I feel. I don’t normally do stuff like this but, you’re a special person Steve.”
She pounces on him as the scene fades out.
I Tried telling her. I really did! You herd me. But she just wouldn’t listen to me. And like always, when push comes to shove I opt for the push and shove. I don’t know why I do the things that I do. I guess I just do them. Some people say I lack quality judgment. I’m just to impulsive. Maybe there right.
Maybe they were right when they said I was addicted to women or afraid of commitment, I really don’t know. Maybe there is no real reason at all. Or maybe the reason is the same reason that all of you are thinking right now…..
I’m just an asshole.
