Sometimes people need to be reminded. Either of where they came from, who they are, or why they should be concerned. I myself had to look back, and reflect on things that have passed by. For the time I was away, I learned many things, and even re learned things about myself. Most notably I was reminded of the Cardinal Sins. the Deadly Vices.
The Seven Deadly Sins.
Some of us portray ourselves as bigger than life, more human than human. As a Savior, an Alien, an Icon, a Maniac, a Genius, and a God. We all may enjoy to act superior, but we are none the less susceptible to these simple seven sins. No matter who...and in some cases what you are...you can not deny what I am saying. I invite you to sit back, relax and turn off your mind. I want you to see the madness that brought a Genius to the brink of the edge. I want to blur the line.
Some of you may be inept in your theological studies, allow me to open your eyes and broaden your horizon.
The Seven Deadly Sins:
Pride(Superbia)-This is the original sin, the sin of all sins. This sin once brought an Angel to it's knees, this sin has cost men everything they ever loved. If it wasn't for Pride, no other sin would exist. In Dante's Inferno, the men and women guilty of Pride were forced to walk around with stone slabs on their back, inducing humility.
Envy(Invidia)-This sin is closely related to Greed, but they differ. They have two main differences. Envy is a more general term, to be envious is to want what others have because you are lacking. People who are envious will destroy the person who has the quality they lack, just so they can not have it anymore. In Dante's Inferno, those who had indulged in Envy had their eyes sewn shut with wire, so they could not see what others had.
Wrath(Ira)-Possibly the most brutal of all Sins. This sin is unadulterated hatred for a person, or people. This sin can lead to Murder, Assault, and even Genocide. People who dabble in vigilantism are also guilty of Wrath, hating the justice system and taking matters into their own hands. In Dante's Inferno, those who were wrathful are in the river Styx, continuously fighting.
Sloth(Acedia)-This sin has seen many changes since it was original introduced. It was first called the sin of Sadness or Despair. Though much like the Bible, it has been corrupted by man and is now linked with apathy, lethargy, melancholy, or, in laymen terms...laziness. Those who do not love life to the fullest, or any of ''God's'' gifts. It represents the failure to realize one's full potential. The Slothful in Dante's Inferno were forced to run at top speed for all time.
Greed(Avarice)-A sin of excess, much like Lust and Gluttony. The difference between Greed and Envy is that Greed focuses on material possessions, wealth in particular. In Dante's Inferno the Greedy were bound by leather straps face down for concentrating too much on Earthly pleasures.
Gluttony(Gula)-Another sin of excess, this time focusing more on food. Eating just to eat, a wasteful sin indeed. It also refers to with holding from the needy. In Dante's Inferno, the Gluttonous were forced to lie in a sludge of ice, snow, freezing rain, and hail. This symbolized the garbage they turned their lives into due to the sin.
Lust(Luxuria)-Our final sin, Lust. Another one of excess, though this referring to one of sexual nature. This sin can lead to sex addiction, adultery, rape, perversion, and incest. In Dante's Inferno, the lustful were forced to walk through flames, purging themselves of the sin of the flesh.
These are the Seven Sins, in a nut shell you could say. Though in my mind, they are so much more. You, too, shall soon see my way of thinking.
The scene opens at a Las Vegas air port. A crowd seems to have gathered around a terminal. People screaming, others simply curious as to who is causing this sensation. Even a camera crew is their, covering what is looking to be a promising event. The crowd begins to part as a man makes his way through, an it is none other than Davey Ortega who can not stop smiling as he waves and nods to people. The new's man gets his attention, signaling him and Davey happily obliges.
New's Man: Mr. Ortega! Do you have time for a quick interview?
Davey: A quick one...
The new's man smiles, and tells his camera man to begin rolling. He straightens his tie, and makes sure his hair is nice and neat and then smiles as the camera man gave him the go ahead.
New's Man: This is Richard Verone here with an exclusive interview of Mr. Davey Ortega. Davey your appearance on last week's Collision was shocking, most would like to know why you decided to come back?
Davey: Unfinished business. I have much to do, and many ''superstars'' to teach a lesson too.
Richard Verone: Though why come back with Jack Manson and bring back The Upper Echelon?
Davey smiles wider.
Davey: All good things in time. If you'll excuse me, I have to be somewhere.
With that, Davey walks away from Richard and the camera. Davey continues his way to the doors of the air port, walking outside. Once their he is looking around, but not finding what he wants.
Davey: Oh you have got to be kidding me. I told him four thirty. This is ridiculous.
A few minutes later, a limousine pulls up and the driver gets out. He walks to the back door and opens it up and Davey get's in. The driver says something like ''Good to see you again'' though Davey simply ignores this and gets in. Once in he sighs and relaxes a bit until his phone rings. He reaches into the inside of his coat and pulls out his cell, answering it.
Davey: Yeah? Oh hey Jack. I just got into Vegas....no...no I haven't seen or heard anyone from nCw at all. .......Well when I get back to The Casino I will...yes...I will. No..no...Yeah. OK. I don't know man. Look just watch O-TV. Why? What do you mean why? because it's O-TV! No I didn't....maybe. Look, can I call you back? I just kind of want to clear my head. Uh hu..yeah...I will. Yup, talk to you later broseph. Bye.
Davey then ends the call, and lets out a sigh. He puts his phone back into his pocket and looks out the window on mid day Las Vegas, taking in the sights. The limo soon pulls up to a giant building, a building familiar to many. The driver gets out and opens the door for Davey who steps out, looking around. He walks through the doors and enters his Casino. He looks around at everyone spending all their money. He walks for the spiral staircase and begins his ascension up them. He comes to the double doors that our branded ''VIP'' and walks in. The room has not changed. The desk is still their, the couch, the X Box 360 and two way mirror looking down on the floor. He closes the double doors behind him
Davey: Finally.
Not more than thirty seconds does he hear some odd noises. he raises an eyebrow to a door he has never seen before. He walks to it and opens it with no fear...which later proves to be a terrible decision as his eyes widen, jaw drops as he see's his General Manager...Mr. James Preston in bed with a phenomenal looking women.
Davey: What...the...hell...?
Mr. Preston: Davey!?!
Davey: ....Preston...
Mr. Preston: It's great to see you man! Oh..this is Naomi. That's I moan backwards.
Davey: Really? I see. Preston...get dressed and come out here.
Before he can respond, Davey leaves the room and shuts the door. A few minutes later Mr. Preston comes out.
Davey: Care to explain?
Mr. Preston: I was having sex.
Davey: I know that. Care to explain the new room...and her.
Mr. Preston: Yeah I made a few additions while you were gone. The room is just convenience. And she is Naomi.
Davey: You said that...how much?
Mr. Preston: The room?
Davey: No.
Mr. Preston: Then what?
Davey: The girl, Preston. I know their is no way she would willingly have any type of intercourse with you. She looks like high class stuff too.
Mr. Preston: Davey..do you really think I would need a common hooker?
Davey just stairs at Preston until Naomi, the ''Hooker in question'' comes out with little more than she had on.
Naomi: I have to go. Thank you for everything though.
Davey: How much?
Naomi just smiles.
Naomi: Lets just say, if you weren't a good friend of his he would of never came close.
Davey just smiles, Preston looks away and Naomi leaves.
Mr. Preston: I have needs...
Davey: I don't really care, Preston. Right now I just want to get the image of your ass out of my mind. This image will disturb me for the rest of my days...like Brad's porno.
DAMN! Mental image of that!
Mr. Preston: Well, in any event it is good to see you.
Davey: You too.
Mr. Preston: When did you get in, anyways?
Davey: About five minutes ago.
Mr. Preston: Oh...
Davey: Look it doesn't really matter...is the system still up and running?
Mr. Preston: Yeah. Dirty Deal and Echoes of Freedom both cut a promo. Dirty Deal did two of them, and Echoes only one. Manson also did one.
Davey: Great.
Mr. Preston: I take it you want to see them?
Davey: Not yet. I have things that need to be said. I feel people need to know a few things before I get to heavily into my opponents. Like why I came back...why I am with Manson once again.
Mr. Preston: Jack already explained that.
Davey: There are two sides to every story, you should know that. Preston, fire up O-TV.
Mr. Preston walks to the computer, getting everything around as Davey positions himself so he can be seen. Mr. Preston points to Davey
Davey: It feels so good to once again be talking to you all. Yes, do not adjust your screens it is I, David Allen Ortega. I come to you with a new sense of Pride, a new sense of want. I am ready to storm the gates so to speak. I am ready to embrace 2009 with open arms. I am ready for One Eleven Zero Nine. First of all I need to get a few things off my chest...namely why I am back.Now I have heard what everyone is saying. ''He will choke again'' ''Why bring back the oh so unsuccessful team of The Upper Echelon?'' First of all I have no intention of giving up this time around, no matter how bleak the road seems. I am ready to do what I wanted to do oh so long ago. Though that comes later, I want to focus on now. And now is the time of The Upper Echelon. You see I do take full responsibility for the epic failure this team suffered when first conceived. The great thing about it is, though, that that was in '08. All the past failures I had, everything was seemingly washed away when the ball dropped.
I came back due to unfinished business, both in the tag division and single. I have been apart of three not so great tag teams in my time in nCw. Stroke of Genius, The Upper Echelon, and Ego's and Icon's. Well, I feel the best team of the three was when me and Manson teamed up. He feels this too, he felt it when we were in Japan. I was going through such a hard time back then, when first formed. I seemingly lost my drive, my will to fight had left me. I didn't have the thing that drove me. I didn't have Pride.
Yes, Pride. One of the Seven Deadly Sins, the sin of sins. Yes I openly embrace it now. I am fully aware now, no longer haunted by my past and for the first time I feel fantastic. I feel like I can take on the world. Hell, I feel that I can take over the world. I am back because the tag titles have eluded me for far to long. I am back because I want to be where I should of been, right at the top. I messed up early on, and kept digging my grave. Well, now I am ready for a fresh start. A fresh start with a newly revived team. Yes now that me and Manson are on the same page we will be unstoppable. I am ready to atone for my past mistakes, and prove my worth this time around.
Though I do need to take care of one thing, and one thing on my own. No disrespect to Jack, but I have to do this. If nCw management is watching...if one man in particular is watching I want you to listen to me. Listen to me for the first time in months.
...Angel...
I want you to listen to me. I want your full attention. Forget about The Resistance, forget about Jimmy Zane and AJ Phoenix. This is to you and you alone. You and I have unfinished business to take care of. No, this is not about your title, this is personal. I believe we are stuck at one and one...and we need a tie breaker. Angel I know I can beat you...hell I have done it. I want to do it again, just to put you in your place. You seem to have gotten an ego while I have been away...and it disturbs me. Angel you need to remember that you are nothing compared to me. I want you to leave your Revolution out of this as well. I want a straight up match with you, whenever wherever. I'm going to get back on track, and I left off with you. You don't have to answer this week, take some time to think about this. Contemplate your career suicide. Next week though, I demand an answer.
Davey closes his eyes and breathes in...deeply
Davey: Now...to my opponents at Meta. First of all let me just say I have a lot of history with this pay per view. This is the only show where I walked through hell...and came up short. I am not prepared to do the same. I am not prepared to repeat my actions last year. I will revive my career where I lost it. I will enjoy the taste of gold once more...the taste that I should of enjoyed one year ago. NAZI, Dirty Deal, Redneck Renegades, and Echoes of Freedom. All of you are now nothing but bumps on my road. My road to salvation. On Jack's road to greatness. You are just in our way.
Firstly..NAZI..why in my name are you still here?! Seriously, you are the Mark Evil of tag teams. You occupy space, don't do anything...and put into a title match for no reason. I have nothing more to say. You suck...go away.
Now onto more pressing things...like Dirty Deal. I heard you cut a few promos and the like, but I have not seen them. So..if you will excuse me.
Davey walks to the computer, and Preston pulls up the System. Davey watches. Watches everything that Dirty Deal and Echoes had to say...along with Jack. Time passes by and Davey smiles. He walks back into position.
Davey: OK, I heard all that you had to say Dirty Deal. Ron...Curtis...do you need a history lesson? How dare you come to nCw and talk about things you have no idea of. Jack Manson helped place nCw on the map, if it wasn't for him you would still be in a small pond thinking your top dogs. The fact of the matter is you are insignificant compared to him. And you damn sure can not compare to me. The Upper Echelon is an idea...transcended into life. The two of you can not fathom the pure greatness of it, we are Chuck Norris's inspiration you fools.
Curtis, for your information The Upper Echelon has been around for awhile, predating your terrible existence in this company. I don't give a damn if you just walked in the door...do not ever question who we are or what we have done. Our comeback is permanent, trust me. I'm a man of my word.
The two of you are an annoyance at best, claiming you earned a shot at the titles? Boys, this title shot has been in the making for us since a real team like Spike and Trent held those titles. I feel management felt sorry for you, or just wanted to stop your incessant begging. Your promos are laughable, resorting to childish puns? Monsoon and Oregano? That's it...no honestly...that is the best you can come up with? Do you know what a monsoon is? It's a violent storm you jack asses. So yes..I suppose in that since Jack is like that. The two of you will see soon enough.
Which brings me to a team that does pose at least a viable threat...Echoes of Freedom. Joe I assume you are the leader of this tandem and Scotty is the loyal follower? Joe I remember one match in particular, a certain Ladder Match. What happened? Did you drop out of the running for the title? Though I will not underestimate you, I know how tough you can be. I also know you have taken on some of my unfavorable traits. I do hope you, like me, realize this and abandon them. No showing is no was to get to the top man. In fact Joe I believe we have a lot more history than anyone seems to think. Like...it was me who shelved you shortly after that match with a steel chair. I did have fun doing that, just thinking of that fills me with pride. It was also me who ended your Xtreme title reign just two weeks after I came back. Wouldn't it be grand if I once again took a title opportunity away from you? It will happen, I mean honestly how can it not? We are The Upper Echelon for Christ's sake!
Patience is not going to help you. No virtue can save you from the Original Sin. You can try, you can attempt to plan your moves with me in that ring...but you know it won't help. It will merely delay the inevitable of your shoulders being pinned, and you counting the lights high above. What's Scotty going to do to help you? Order me a salad? Your track record is deplorable against me, and now that Manson has my back once again the odds of you besting me are astronomical. You can't beat us, though I find your faith in yourself refreshing for once.
Then we have the mysterious team of the Redneck Renegades. I have not heard anything from you, but word around the locker room is that you are truly a force to be reckoned with. Well so is The Upper Echelon. You see guys, the fact that you are the only team to be silent thus far is fine with me. It tells me you are
A: Afraid
or B: Dumb.
Though I do not believe you are afraid. From what I have heard you are a very capable tag team, so your silence mystifies me. This leads me to one conclusion. Dumb. Stupidity. Perchance you think that the longer you wait, the more drama you build? Spare me your theatrics, gentleman. No matter how long you wait you will still fail to impress me. Maybe my partner is right, and you are just so ingrained with your own family DNA that you are the two stupidest people alive. Or you may have just been busy.
Yes, I know...you have just been busy. Have you been at the family reunion trying to find a date? Maybe you are home worshiping your golden idol of Jeff Foxworthy?
It doesn't matter, because the fact is no redneck joke, or git-r-done saying can help you. You see this is destiny, now I know that for me and you destiny means two different things.
For me it is the realization of a long dream...and for you it is getting to third base with your first cousin.
OK..I truly am done with the jokes and puns...fact is I am done with all of you so called ''competition.'' I leave you though with one word and thoughts behind it.
Pride.
I embody this sin to a T, I am Pride. I am who you will see when you look it up. Come Metamorphosis I will show you all what I am capable of. It will be a highlight in my life and one of the proudest moments to take you all out, and claim what is rightfully mine...rightfully ours.
One Eleven Zero Nine is closer than you all think, and soon this date will go done in history as the return debut of the most dominate tag team this company has ever know. I wish you all the best of luck...on a formality though.
With this the signal is lost and the image is gone

Firstly..NAZI..why in my name are you still here?! Seriously, you are the Mark Evil of tag teams. You occupy space, don't do anything...and put into a title match for no reason. I have nothing more to say. You suck...go away.
Now onto more pressing things...like Dirty Deal. I heard you cut a few promos and the like, but I have not seen them. So..if you will excuse me.
Davey walks to the computer, and Preston pulls up the System. Davey watches. Watches everything that Dirty Deal and Echoes had to say...along with Jack. Time passes by and Davey smiles. He walks back into position.
Davey: OK, I heard all that you had to say Dirty Deal. Ron...Curtis...do you need a history lesson? How dare you come to nCw and talk about things you have no idea of. Jack Manson helped place nCw on the map, if it wasn't for him you would still be in a small pond thinking your top dogs. The fact of the matter is you are insignificant compared to him. And you damn sure can not compare to me. The Upper Echelon is an idea...transcended into life. The two of you can not fathom the pure greatness of it, we are Chuck Norris's inspiration you fools.
Curtis, for your information The Upper Echelon has been around for awhile, predating your terrible existence in this company. I don't give a damn if you just walked in the door...do not ever question who we are or what we have done. Our comeback is permanent, trust me. I'm a man of my word.
The two of you are an annoyance at best, claiming you earned a shot at the titles? Boys, this title shot has been in the making for us since a real team like Spike and Trent held those titles. I feel management felt sorry for you, or just wanted to stop your incessant begging. Your promos are laughable, resorting to childish puns? Monsoon and Oregano? That's it...no honestly...that is the best you can come up with? Do you know what a monsoon is? It's a violent storm you jack asses. So yes..I suppose in that since Jack is like that. The two of you will see soon enough.
Which brings me to a team that does pose at least a viable threat...Echoes of Freedom. Joe I assume you are the leader of this tandem and Scotty is the loyal follower? Joe I remember one match in particular, a certain Ladder Match. What happened? Did you drop out of the running for the title? Though I will not underestimate you, I know how tough you can be. I also know you have taken on some of my unfavorable traits. I do hope you, like me, realize this and abandon them. No showing is no was to get to the top man. In fact Joe I believe we have a lot more history than anyone seems to think. Like...it was me who shelved you shortly after that match with a steel chair. I did have fun doing that, just thinking of that fills me with pride. It was also me who ended your Xtreme title reign just two weeks after I came back. Wouldn't it be grand if I once again took a title opportunity away from you? It will happen, I mean honestly how can it not? We are The Upper Echelon for Christ's sake!
Patience is not going to help you. No virtue can save you from the Original Sin. You can try, you can attempt to plan your moves with me in that ring...but you know it won't help. It will merely delay the inevitable of your shoulders being pinned, and you counting the lights high above. What's Scotty going to do to help you? Order me a salad? Your track record is deplorable against me, and now that Manson has my back once again the odds of you besting me are astronomical. You can't beat us, though I find your faith in yourself refreshing for once.
Then we have the mysterious team of the Redneck Renegades. I have not heard anything from you, but word around the locker room is that you are truly a force to be reckoned with. Well so is The Upper Echelon. You see guys, the fact that you are the only team to be silent thus far is fine with me. It tells me you are
A: Afraid
or B: Dumb.
Though I do not believe you are afraid. From what I have heard you are a very capable tag team, so your silence mystifies me. This leads me to one conclusion. Dumb. Stupidity. Perchance you think that the longer you wait, the more drama you build? Spare me your theatrics, gentleman. No matter how long you wait you will still fail to impress me. Maybe my partner is right, and you are just so ingrained with your own family DNA that you are the two stupidest people alive. Or you may have just been busy.
Yes, I know...you have just been busy. Have you been at the family reunion trying to find a date? Maybe you are home worshiping your golden idol of Jeff Foxworthy?
It doesn't matter, because the fact is no redneck joke, or git-r-done saying can help you. You see this is destiny, now I know that for me and you destiny means two different things.
For me it is the realization of a long dream...and for you it is getting to third base with your first cousin.
OK..I truly am done with the jokes and puns...fact is I am done with all of you so called ''competition.'' I leave you though with one word and thoughts behind it.
Pride.
I embody this sin to a T, I am Pride. I am who you will see when you look it up. Come Metamorphosis I will show you all what I am capable of. It will be a highlight in my life and one of the proudest moments to take you all out, and claim what is rightfully mine...rightfully ours.
One Eleven Zero Nine is closer than you all think, and soon this date will go done in history as the return debut of the most dominate tag team this company has ever know. I wish you all the best of luck...on a formality though.
With this the signal is lost and the image is gone
