It’s that time again. It’s another big match situation. Obviously I am going to choke. I didn’t win Road to the Gold last year. I didn’t win my match for the national title at the Road to the Gold event. I didn’t win a lot of things. Have I ever won anything at all? I like to think so. All I hear is people doubting me. The Burning can’t do this. The Burning can’t do that. Well maybe I haven’t been the most reliable talent in this company. Maybe I haven’t had a lot of the big time matches that every else has. Steve Awesome doesn’t consider me a threat. The Ace, a man I HAVE BEATEN, doesn’t think I can beat anybody. Apparently Ricky Johnson is a nobody. Apparently Davey Ortega is a nobody. Oh I can hear it now. Wow you beat a choke artist. You know I am about tired of choke this and choke that. Throwing that word out there is like leaning on a crutch. You choked. He choked. If Steve Awesome (wow he loves himself) and The Ace are so emphatuated with choking, I can only imagine what their chickens go through. Davey Ortega has been to the big dance. Ricky Johnson is a major player. But No I haven’t done anything worth noting. My last loss I wasn’t even pinned for. Just because I don’t use a numbers game to get to the top, or ride a champions coat tails I am seen as a nobody. I have kept quiet, wrestled, and went about my business.
I guess in this business if you don’t let a camera into your bedroom or stand around talking about how cool you are then you are a nobody. Fine brand me a nobody. I hope it stays for the rest of my life. I hope when my hand is raised twice this Sunday that the dirt sheets all recall that a nobody won his first major title by defeating two men in one night. I hope to hear the stories of how a nobody who has never held the Xtreme title, the X-Division title, the Tag Team titles, or the National title finally won the big one. I can hear it now. The commentary rings so clear in my head. Philip Burns, the man who would never amount to anything has become the World Heavyweight Champion. It will sting. Is it so wise to call me names like that?
Ace, how will your reputation look on Sunday when you have been beaten once again by a failure, a nobody, and a wannabe main-eventer? How much will your name be worth when somebody when just can’t win the big one puts you in your place? Who is going to buy a ticket to see The Ace, a man who can’t think for himself or out wrestle a man who is worthless in the ring? Ace, if you are done with me then I am done with you.
Steve Awesome; we all know you would be better of facing me. I have heard it time and time again that you don’t consider me a threat. But think about this. You know Ace better than anybody probably, except the Queen of clubs or whatever he calls his wife. What do you have to prove by beating someone who finally decided to step out of your shadow? This man is so jealous of you that he can’t see straight. You guys hid under the “it's just business” veil as long as you could. I know you don’t like him. We can all see that. I know you don’t think very highly of either of us. And Ace obviously wants everything you have. He becomes more and more like you every day. It would not surprise me if he started using Rogaine to get your hairline. Lord knows his is lacking.
I want to know why you don’t respect me. I want to know why I have to be a jobber, a jabroni, a nothing. Like I said, I hope it sticks. I am sick of this. You will hear from me later.
Early 2008
Our scene opens in a garage. Philip Burns is seen in a white t-shirt and some old jeans. He pushes the hair out of his face and picks up a large box, full of something as of yet unseen. A nice Nissan Altima pulls up in the drive way. The woman we know as Julia jumps out of the car.
Julia: Philip! What the hell are you doing?! Leave my stuff alone.
Philip is not impressed with her presence and drops the box on the driveway cement. The sound of broken glass rings out through the yard. Julia is instantly angered.
Burns: How dare you show your face here? After you told all those lies to Fox! Do you know how much trouble this has caused? I know it was you who claimed that Ruston Bourne and I were plotting to sign away talent. Why would you do that? I hope you are damn well satisfied.
Julia: (crying) I just wanted you to have some time off! I never see you I thought you would just get in a little trouble! Maybe a suspension! I'm sorry!
Burns: (at this point yelling in anger, right up in her face) You knew what would happen when you got into this with me. I am a wrestler. I travel. I come home a couple days every week and I leave again. You said you loved what I do and you didn’t mind. This is exactly why I never let anyone in. You took away what I love and it will take an act of God to get that back.
He throws another box on the ground.
I want you out of here. I am going to spend the next several months or more getting back to nCw and I will be bigger than ever. I don’t need you. You put Ruston, News, and me all out of a job!
Julia is very upset. Not realizing what she was doing, she now regrets what has happened. As the scene fades, Phil continues kicking her out. The relationship that had gotten Phil through his injury at the hands of the Ace has broken down. Phil has been dismissed from nCw, and no end for this anger is in sight.
