“Maybe it the fact that I’ve face death that makes me fearless, or maybe I use the idea that I’m fearless to run away from responsibility. No matter the fact, I’ve reached the finals, I’ve won every match in my nCw career. I’m hot comet streaking for the top of the X-Division, now only one thing stands in my way… one man, stands in my way of my first title shot…. A.J… Pheonix…”
The scene opens with Xavier Cross standing in the middle of an empty ring, in the back room of some gym, seems like a wrestling school. The view pans around, showing Xavier from multiple sides. He is the only one in the gym, and from the look of the sweat rolling down his face, and a bit of heavy breath, he has been working out. The camera pans back into Xavier’s face as he stares down the camera.
“I can’t honestly say I know the first thing about you A.J. But you should take a page out of Kahne’s book don’t show up. Hammond, Talon, Kahne, Bukkake Man, and the Brown Paper Bag are my list of victims A.J. People who have entered the ring with the Undying Machine. I won’t give up, I will not submit. I will not have my shoulders down for longer than two counts. I just won’t lose A.J. I won’t let you beat me, you’ll have to kill me to face Angel. This is my shot…”
Stepping between the ropes and out of the ring, the camera follows Xavier out of the room. As he reaches the door, he leans down, grabbing a duffle bag. He wears sweat pants and a ‘shooter’ fruit of a loom shirt, with a skully training hat. Slinging the bag over his shoulder, and opening the door leaving the empty training ring behind him…
As the door opens, a bright light surrounds Xavier, blinding the camera as he walks into the light….the sound of a electric keyboard starts beating, the sound of a crowd cheering loudly fills the light.
If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera's here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera's here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh
“I got no reason to pretend anymore A.J. I became a failure, I let myself fall so deep into the depths of hell, I became nothing, I became a figure of something that was half great. The only thing I ever did right was get loved by an amazing woman, and have to wonderful kids. But even I failed them… your just a stepping stone for me A.J. just like the opponents before you, and after you, no one will remember this match, they will only remember that at his first pay per view, Xavier Cross won.”
Yea, uh
A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Want to believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design?
Did you do something new?
Well your name ain't on the guest list
Who brung you? You
The more famous person, you come through
And the sexy lady next to you
You come too
And then it hit me
Standing outside of heaven waiting for God to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And too gum shoe
Too much of a newcomer
And too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle
I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who sung blue
Go back what ever you did you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on me two tonnes too

“I can’t stand here and say anything about you A.J. Again, I don’t know the first thing other than that you advanced through the same amount of opponents as I did to get here. Maybe your some hot shot upstart, maybe you’re a trained veteran whose gone through wars between these ropes. Again, I don’t know, and personally I don’t give a damn who you are…. All I know is it won’t be you that ends my streak. I think I’m on the right road to becoming something my children can be proud of… do you know what that means to a man? That’s a motivation to take on an army, to take on a country… to take on the world. But you are just one man Pheonix. Can you handle a man destined to take on god himself in order to regain even an ounce of self respect, a man who only yearns for his wife to love him again…. I’m unstoppable, most of all I’m untouchable…”
And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down through the basement
Past the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
And out through China
Nearly misses air liners
Magnified times five
This is pointed at the rhymer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that's important to say
Cuz even with all of that
Most of us don't want it to fade
We want it to braid
Meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to stay
Like the governor called
And they told him to wait
Un-strap him from the chair
And put him back in his cage
The audience ain't fazed
And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back that they paid
Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

“I’ve never had complete control over my life, only the control of choices I’ve made. I’ve made some stupid one’s AJ. But I’ve had a few good ones, and those good choices, they are my fuel. They make me the man I am today, the only reason I stand here is because of love. Because of my family. Beating you means one step closer to a bigger pay check, and in the end isn’t that all we are here for. Sure a little respect would be nice, but I don’t need it, nor do I want it. I just want to win, I want the money, I want to provide for my family. Being the opening match of a pay-per view isn’t always goin to pay the bills, and with my mental health, and previous injuries, I’m not always going to be able to compete… but you bet from when the bell sounds, till someone is declared the winner, I won’t quit till I die…”
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I been standing in this line
For like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting along
And when I got to the front they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown
M&M's are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every song's a favorite song
And mics don't feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha

“I’ve taken iniative into my life, I’ve ran from responsibility. I one point I welcome death like it was the mail man A.J. I rose up from the ashes of a drugged out loser to become a man, I’m still developing my pride, **** my pride I don’t need it. I see dollars signs believe it. In the end, I just want my heart whole again, I won’t let you get in my way Pheonix…. Was your mother dyslexic? **** your last name I don’t give two ****s who you are, I don’t know, and after I beat you, I still won’t give a ****, your existence is nothing but a blink of an eye to me.”

“Go ahead and pop off. Say who you are… cuz the spot light remains here AJ. I’m Xavier Cross. I’m the Undying Machine. The camera is here…. I am what I say I am. I damn sure ain’t got not fear…. And if I did, you’d be the last thing I would ever fear!… get the camera outta my face…”
-Fade from bright light to Xavier Standing in front of a bar-
“I’ve beaten my demons Pheonix…. I can beat you too.”
-Fade to laughter-
