Too many times I've seen it rip a hole into our friendship
This is how it's been
How it always will be
You think you're above me? (You think you're above me!)
But now I'm here to end this
FOUR WORDS TO CHOKE UPON
This is how it's been
How it always will be
You think you're above me? (You think you're above me!)
But now I'm here to end this
FOUR WORDS TO CHOKE UPON
Instead of the simplistic small camera view that we've grown accustomed to these past few viewings, there is a grander scale of a picture that is easier on the eyes in the plain looking mug of Reckless Jack. Instead of that close up on his face, there is a huge back drop of wallpaper that is a simple hue of baby blue with yellow ducks placed among particular places. Hardly the manliest place to appear on a camera to talk about your hated rival or what have you. Before too long, Reckless Jack comes forth looks displeased about the current turn of events as he stares at the camera that's set up. How about breaking the forth wall? Regardless, he adjusts his Age of the Fall skull cap as he looks a little tired at the moment...
"I took you out of that match because I knew that by getting rid of you, my name would get known as the person who took away the title that was Lance Ryan's life. Look at what's happened since then too. I've gone on to become more of a successful wrestler then you could ever dream of. What about you? You go around and be retired because I screwed you over? That was the first time in my life that I didn't view you as a man Lance. No, I thought you were a chicken **** for backing out like that. You knew damn well that could have gone after me but you walked away like the bitch that you are."
Reckless Jack: Those words that I spoke to you back in January of this year still echo in my head Lance. Those words that I string together that form more truth then what you realize haven't left me. Truth is something we'll never agree upon. You'll continue to think that I screwed you back in that Triple Chairshot Challenge back in early 2006. I'll always maintain that I never screwed you over. You knew the risks of a match like that regardless of the loose alliance we formed going into that particular match. I never, and have never, screwed you over to gain an advantage over you because I simply don't need to Lance. Whether you want to think of it as my personal code of honor, I don't have the need to screw anyone over, although many will lay claim that I have tried to use some sort of political footing to undercut them.
Actually, I'll take that back as back in my early days, I did hold a couple of people back in a promotion that's been rightly closed for a couple of years now but that's beside the fact. Those people don't concern us nor will they ever. So while you show a video of your political games that you've now admittedly played upon me, I honestly don't know what to think about the whole thing. Would you know what to say if you found out that someone you thought that was going to give you a rub by getting a couple of huge false wins off of them. While you were away plotting the whole screwjob finish, I was left to wonder why I was getting that title shot in the first place. To me, that match was my breaking through in the wrestling business and now I find out it was all based upon you and your selfish ego.
As much as you'd want to it, this new found knowledge negates nothing I've done after and until this point. If you had told me sooner then this current time then maybe I would be reacting in a more of an angrier tone then what you're seeing right now or even listening to. But your ego got in the way of what was a great moment and a great match. For the longest time, I viewed that as a great match with a hot finish but now, it's nothing but tainted with the egotism of Lance Ryan because he couldn't lose his title, his livelihood to someone like me. Now you realize the Triple Chairshot Challenge was NOTHING but karma coming your way for what you have now admittedly done to me. I've said it in the past but karma is one hellva force in this universe and I think it all came full circle.
What you've done to me has completely changed the rolls in this whole saga though. You had the advantage because you were the victim of a horrendous sneak attack by a man who is regarded as a heartless fiend. But now... but now you've managed to do something so stupid, so recklessly dumb you've changed the playing field. You screwed me over when you had NO ***damn right to. You took my career in your hands and you ****ing toyed with it as if it was nothing but one of the common places whores you call a girlfriend. If you want to resort this to nothing but petty insults and accusations, I have no problem LOWERING myself to your simple level.
Every single one of my words has a meaning behind it, why I might emphasize one word over another. Right now, I'd like to say something about karma. It's always come back to bite you in the ass Lance. Look at what happened with Cassandra or with any other female you've been with in your pathetic life. Karma is one of the only things I'll believe in and it's almost fitting that at Reborn, your career shall be over at my doing after the fact you have now admitted these long standing truths that were better served as skeleton's in the closet, waiting to be released long after WE'RE both done wrestling. Like I said, this information should have shattered me just a few days before this huge match but it's done the complete opposite.
Stopping for a moment, Reckless Jack inhales as he collects his thoughts, gathering what he wants to say next. Taking one of his hands off the camera view, he pulls forth a bottle of water. Reckless Jack takes a sip before putting it down by his feet or on a table, not visible on camera.
Reckless Jack: What you've managed to do is motivate me that much more Lance. With each passing word that comes out of my mouth. With each passing thought that impulse through my brain all I can manage to do is get more focused on Reborn. Every single kick that I delivered on Collision was that focus and determination of ending your career. You want to talk about hate and disdain, you heard what I said the other night about my hate for you and much like my focus, it's increased ten fold because your actions and your words. But I maintain that my actions we mandatory. I had to do it because I couldn't stand you going on and on about how you want to end your career and all this sort of bull****.
This whole system you've devised is nothing more then a simple facade as I've earlier alluded to. I've had to sling the mud because I knew for a ****ing fact it would throw you into a tail spin to where you would do something so drastic that you'd make a mistake and I'd be right there to pounce on it and pounce on that mistake I have. I'm not lying when I call myself the perfect puppet master because you are continually playing into my hands along with the rest of this company. Since the beginning of the year, people have been EATING out of my hand, waiting to see what I would say next or what actions I would perform to gain that notice that all of us crave for our own personal reasons.
What's your reason Lance? Is it the reason to get yourself over as a guy who was beaten by someone so you had to go off and leave wrestling because you've felt like you've done it all? That's nothing but a lie because I know you well enough to realize that when I beat you, that's going to fester inside of you, knowing that you've NEVER beaten me cleanly in a one on one match in your career when it's been all said and done. You've beaten me through screw jobs and because I was saddled with someone who couldn't keep the same pace as us from a couple of weeks ago. So while I watch you running around, raising your hands into the air screaming "I'm better then Reckless Jack, I'm better then Reckless Jack, I'm better then Reckless Jack!" IT ****ING SICKENS ME!
Everyone who knows about our careers knows the truth that I am the superior one Lance. You think that screw job has caused a downward fall in my career? If that was the case would I be STANDING here right now, talking towards you and anyone else who wants to watch this? Would I be getting ready to retire you in a few nights at Reborn? Talk about a hellva downfall that you've caused my career. I guess main event pay per views around the world, forming faction after faction with the people I honestly considered real friends. From main eventing the first Collision for New Championship Wrestling to main eventing Reborn, I guess EVERYTHING I've done has been part of the huge downfall you claim it to be from. And the reason why I continue to talk about it was due to the simple fact that I thought we put on a fantastic show that night and thought it was something noteworthy.
This is what separates us from each other Lance are our views about how our careers have gone since that night. If anything, you've suffered the huge downfall while I've taken off into the bigger picture. While you bring instant name value, I manage to do the same while providing better in ring work then what you can manage at this point in your career. Admittedly, I refuse to fall into the whole politic trap that you've pointed towards. I don't need to get in bed with the boss' daughter to keep myself as champion for another month but hey; we all can't act like you. I've also admitted that, at times, I really don't feel the need to perform at the highest of levels but I do it for a reason. Sometimes you have to know when to keep your best inwards in order to make something that much more spectacular.
Take this month for instance Lance. I've been saving all my strength, my thoughts and my words for this week. I don't need to get backed by management to get to the top of the industry. I don't need to play the games that you feel that are needed. Maybe I'm comparable to Jake LaMotta in the sense I want to do everything on my own. Watch Raging Bull, he didn't need to make friends with his bosses to get to the top. He did it through his hard work and determination. However, unlike him, I don't drink and I'm not quite as paranoid. Then again, I've only seen the movie and know little about the real Jake LaMotta but the fact remains that we all don't need to "suck a dick" to get to the top of the mountain.
Reckless Jack stops once more as he reaches down to take another drink of water.
Reckless Jack: The fans despise me, there is a shocking development. I guess walking through the curtain to hearing everyone boo me doesn't give me the littlest bit of a hint that the fans hate me. Thanks for pointing that out to me because I never would have realized that a booing crowd would have meant that they hated and despised me. Bravo Lance, bravo for pointing out something so obvious, you've done nothing but hurt yourself in the process and I know for a fact no one in the crowd wants to see me hold onto that championship but that will become a harsh reality after I beat you in two of the three falls to claim the power that I want around my waist.
In my mind, Lance, you can't win without getting into the ear of Lenny Fox or into the love cave of Kelly Fox. By admitting that you've screwed me in the past, everyone will begin to wonder in this match if you really actually won it at all. And should that happen, it'll be much more harmful to you and this company then perhaps my winning. So you see, by admitting this grand secret, you've done nothing but tarnish your legacy and will help define mine.
Lance, at Reborn, whether you win under your own way or however you managed to get into the ear of the owner that day, no one will ever buy into you again and that's another victory for me over you. Get used to because you won't be seeing me calling Canada, I'll be going backstage and calling your mother, saying, "Mom, I'm coming home and I'm coming home less of a man because in my final defeat, karma came calling to me again saying 'I'm sorry Lance but you've made too many evils in the past for me to allow you to keep wrestling.' Sorry Mom but my career is over." The screw job is over Lance and the only thing that remotely matters now is the fact that you can't and will never beat me one on one.
The camera shuts off as does everything else.
LOOK AT ME NOW
