*The scene opens in The Ace's hotel room where he is sat on the bed looking through an encyclopedia as Kathy explained something to him...*
Kathy: Honey, you know I never criticise your promos, but in the last one, you made a pretty fundamental error, you said our independence came one hundred years earlier than it actually did...
Damn!
Kathy: Its okay honey, I didn't expect you to be up on our history all that accurately, they probably never taught you that in England, but I can understand your eagnerness to make it work, what with the Devil references and all...
I made a mistake, and it takes a certain type of man to admit that, maybe I didn't research your history that well before I delivered my promo or maybe it was just good old fashioned ignorance. Either way I was a hundred years out and that means all my numbers are out as far as talking about Satan and the triple six but ultimately none of that matters, maybe its a sign that I can't reduce this match to simple numbers and that if I do my number is up. Admittedly. its not the first mistake I've made heading into this match. I mean who would have thought JackHammer could cut two half decent promos in the week? And it seems I'm not the only one having trouble with my numbers here, JackHammer made an issue about his age, just another number. For once I'm going to agree with him and say age shouldn't come into wrestling ability, but then I would say that being a huge fan of Ric Flair myself and despite what many may say, to me he is still the man.
*The Ace sighs*
I have already been forced to admit my ignorance when it comes to American History Jack, but hey I can get away with it being a product of the British education system and all, sure it would have been more embarassing to make that kind of mistake if I were American but hey. My point is this, its no news to these people that I'm incredibly ignorant, especially when it comes to you and your accomplishments JackHammer, in fact its a strain for me to remember anything impressive you've done during your entire time here apart from hold the National Championship briefly. Now okay, you may say that makes you 'better' than me because I've never held that belt, but I don't care. You call me a greedy old man, a charlatan and a bringer of false hope, well maybe I am but from where I sit I'm not the only one. Are you not giving these people false hope when you say that you will be the one to end my career this Sunday? Is it not a greed that drives you to try and snatch that priviledge from the others around you? The point is you are a hypocrite Jack, just like so many others around here.
Kathy: I think JackHammer is not only a hypocrite but also has it wrong, it was not you who vowed to bring nCw down all those months ago, it was Adam.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one around here who is getting his facts confused, but you're right, the fans cheered me and thought I was the future not because I was a part of Adam's anti nCw campaign in the Revolution, but because I was against it in The Resistance. Ultimately The Resistance did its job and saved nCw and so disbanded, that is when my team mates left me, or perhaps you want to go back even further to my Empire days, but even then we weren't strictly anti nCw and I didn't really have a grudge against Leonard. In fact as part of the Resistance, I was the one who championed his return to power and now this is how he repays me. Without my contract, now I have a reason to hold a grudge aganst him, he could overrule Diamond and just give me back my contract but he won't. Now I have a reason to destroy nCw or at least its new talent initiative, you are just a rather large piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit, thrown into the mix because of your brute strength - the logic being when all else fails, pound him into the canvas...
*The Ace closes the encyclopedia and puts it aside before continuing, obviously finished checking his mistake...*
First you discard me as a failure of a champion, then you completely contradict yourself in the same breath by saying I am the best wrestler because I've held the title to prove it. Which is it Hammer? You're damn right though, I am not Chris Brock because I am not just some punk kid who got lucky a couple of weeks ago, nor am I Steve Ramone because I am not some fly by night rookie who is happy to simply take the quiet road going into this match. JackHammer, you have said nothing to me that I haven't heard a thousand times before. You say I failed to live up to my hype, you promise to deliver me a wake up call and you state that I don't have what it takes to be a real Champion and all of this might matter if this was indeed a title match or if you had even held the World Tile, but you haven't and this isn't, therefore I fail to see the relevance of your comments. I already know I have an ego, an ego you claim will be my downfall when you scar my face, that's nothing new, that's nothing original...
*The Ace raises an eyebrow*
What's even more confusing to me though Hammer is that in July you talk as if it were December, you talk about taking nCw into the new year, but then maybe you mean nCw's third year as opposed to an actual new year, at least I hope that's what you meant. You, like Brock, claim nCw to be sick and you endeavour to nurse it back to health because you are more than coompetent to do so. Forgive me Hammer but when I think of you, the last word that comes to mind is competent. Again you criticise me for feeding off my opponents before I deliver a rebuttal and that may well be true but at the moment, its just been between you and I and that is surprising. My money would have been on Brock being my main competition promo wise but ah well. You turned out to cut promos this week, and I just wish they made more sense. You criticise my championship run even when I'm not a champion and you talk about this match as if you earned your spot in this match as if it were a title match when it isn't. In fact the only thing you got right was that my career is on the line and that I'm not happy about it, who would be?
*The Ace sighs again*
See Hammer, the fact is I don't need to insult your intelligence, you do a pretty good job of that yourself every time you cut a promo where you seemingly just string any words that sound good together. I am not a puppet master, if anything that is what you claimed to be earlier in the week, not me.I don't care if you are older than me or stronger, but that definately does not make you smarter. Sure, I have the hollywood good looks and I thank you for noticing, and you may call it a duty to end my career, but its still a duty you cannot fulfill and it is still a priviledge you are not worthy of. The fact is I know exactly who I am, I am The Ace. I am not a Champion, I am not a joke, but I am loathed. I am still a schemer, a cerebral kind of guy. That's just how I choose to play the game but I still don't know what you're talking about most of the time. What other perspectives do I look at things from? Who are my backstabbing flunkies that I wander around with? What childhood dreams have I not realised? What match do you think you are in, because its obviously not the Russian Roulette from the sounds of it? Who do you think you are facing, because it doesn't sound like me?
*The Ace shakes his head*
So my title reigns have been short, is that it? At least I've had title reigns in the plural sense, and no Hammer, I cannot afford to forget about Brock because he is in our match as is Ramone and I make it my business never to dismiss an opponent, no matter how stupid, lucky or absent they are. Ramone may be absent in body, bt you Hammer are quite clearly absent of mind most of the time. You criticise me for not being able to do anything without my lackeys, and I can only assume you mean my wife but she is not plural, even though sometimes I wish she was, I could have some real fun with that...
Kathy: I bet you could, and hey I've just thought of something. Maybe that's what he meant when Hammer said 'backstabbing flunkies' after all I did betray Jason...
Ah yes, Jason, ironically the man Hammer can do nothing without. Maybe, maybe, in any case it's not important. As for last year's event, if you had paid any attention at all to the footage I showed, you'll notice Kathy only came out to congratulate me in the end, she had no part in the match so once again your logic that I would be nothing without her in s professional sense is deeply flawed. You question my manhood, I question your brain. Such is the natural ebb and flow of our verbal ping pong, you say I'm weak and I admit you have the physical edge over me but that's not all it will take for you to prove to the world that I am indeed a nothing this Sunday. You say you're a conceited bastard and for once I believe you, you say you are a warrior and demand I draw a sword to do battle upon my steed, I say no. I don't need a sword to wound you, and I don't need a mighty steed to mount because I am The Blonde Stallion and I will trample you underfoot. You want me to understand you as being one who speaks the truth and I'll admit that's impossible, given I have such a hard time understanding you at all big man. I can see your angry, and I'd be frustrated too if I didn't make sense in my promos, but as I said before it'll take so much more than simple promises to hurt me to guide nCw and end my career. Hammer, you've tried your best this week, unfortunately it was futile. Brock tried the old samaritan approach and ultimately that too was futile and Ramone, well he tried the silent approach and in the end all three of you have failed to intimidate or worry me. In fact I'm pretty sure my job is safe, too bad none of you are...
*The Ace laughs and kisses his wife as the scene fades away to black...*
Kathy: Honey, you know I never criticise your promos, but in the last one, you made a pretty fundamental error, you said our independence came one hundred years earlier than it actually did...
