I spoke a vow today and asked if God would come and play
I've dug a shallow hole for him to sleep
But I swear he just won't answer me
I call on out, is he afraid?
I'll bury him down with the ones he keeps
And if the devil is listening, I'll come for him as well
If I suspect he had a hand to play
And if I see his face in town, there's room for two down underground
Nothing's gonna stop me till I'm done
'Cause tonight I'm killing gods
Alex looks up slowly and kicks his legs in the air balancing back on a chair as his legs come to rest on the edge of a table in front of him, his hands slowly extend up and clasp behind his head cradling it. He tilts his head sideways with a small boyish smirk coming across his lips as he leaves the viewer waiting just long enough to begin to wonder, is Alex going to say anything?. Or just smile like a loon?. Then it happens, his mouth opens and his deep voice with the slight Texan drawl comes out with a small amount of chuckle behind it.
“You know, I think I’ve earned the right to be a little bit cocky this week. See even though I lost my Honor wrestling championship, a belt I held for over 200 days, the only person to be a two time champion and I might add the only person who will be a three time champion soon, I have something that many might consider better. See I was able to walk into Dissension and beat a man who many thought was on such a hot streak it would take a miracle to end it. I was able to get into that ring and beat Adrien Cochrane. One on one. Now, I’m not going to sit here and rub it in like some other douchebags would probably do…”
Cough “Matt Shields” Cough
“See I’m not that arrogant. I’m proud I was able to get the win over a great competitor like Adrien Cochrane but I also know if a few things had gone different….hell if ONE thing had gone different, Adrien would have had his hand raised and now me. Now the four people in this tag match. Damon and myself against Adrien and Jessica, we all know the value of real competition and staying humble even in a win. A company like NGW is a shark tank, full of talent just bursting to get their hands on some gold and be the next champion. We all stand equal. Well...most of us….”
“John Blade and Alicia Hixx don’t count….”
“But the rest of us, we all know that anyone can be beaten on any given day. One day I can beat Adrien, the next he could beat me, Jessica Sears could beat me and hell so could my own partner Damon. Who I have gone to war with and against before. I have never been the type to rub in a win or act like I’m unbeatable. Sure I’m one of the best professional wrestlers on the planet, a fact I have proved time and time again but with competition this close it isn’t saying as much as it should. See even the Destroyers for all their faults are great competitors. Jaxon is a beast, Kayla ia a hard hitting psycho, Jack is a technical master and Matt as much as everyone dislikes him is ALMOST as good as he says he is….”
Alex laughs to himself and shakes his head before stretching his arms out and pulling his legs down off the table.
“But just look at the talent we have in this match. Take out myself and Adrien, the two men who are in my mind the top two contenders for Johnny Maverick….”
“Who do we have?. Damon Graves, the current Young Lions champion. A guy who has taken all the bullshit, all the criticism about being in his wife’s shadow and thrown it back at everyone. Damon is a guy who I stepped in the ring with thinking he was a great competitor and not on my level, but then he showed me I was wrong. And I couldn’t ask for a better partner. But then again...neither could Adrien Cochrane…”
“Jessica Sears is a woman who has put up with a lot since coming in NGW but has never let it impact her. Despite the weird obsession from Matt Shields and the hatred from Kayla Richards. And last week she was almost able to beat Damon for the young lions title. It was a great match and now, well now the four of us will go out there and try and probe who is better again. Like a cycle round and round. But I just wanted to clarify something, see a few weeks back prior to stepping in the ring with Adrien I called him the face of the franchise, and it seems like Adrien didn’t fully know what I meant by that…;”
“See being the face of NGW and being the man we all see as the one to lead NGW to where we need it to be isn’t based on winning percentages or titles or even that you stood up to the destroyers. It’s because you are the best of us. Damon is a good man but he also has that dark side the same as me where we have done and will do things that are borderline unethical. Even Jessica for all her positives has a bit of a side where she can snap and want to end people...sure Kayla Richards makes most if not all people like that but the truth is you are pure...you are a competitor who loves competition, you’re someone so against cheating that I could never see you taking the easy way out. That’s what I meant by it. This match in the grand scheme of things won’t mean much, in fact it’s literally just for bragging rights and for the thrill of competition and honor….and that is the best kind of match…”
