My moment
(FADEIN: The First and Muse, now back all done up. First’s face painted white with the Eye of Horus make up, his new “Outcast Hero” T-Shirt, black dress pants and black sneakers. Muse has her gold rimmed goggles with a top hat, red corset, black tank top, brown leather mini skirt, fishnets and black pumps. “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf playing.)
FIRST: You told me yourself you were gaming Westscott…You’re the top dog for a reason, and it’s cause you get into people’s heads. You have people in awe of the legend of Triple X, they walk into that ring already defeated. I know it, I was one of them. I threw up before our match at Aggression 42, it's why I didn't come out wearing a wife beater, I'd covered my shirt in puke...
I was fighting Sean Stevens...That's big time, what the hell had I gotten myself into, what kind of an idiot was I to pop my mouth off such that I'd end up having to pay the piper and fight this titan of wrestling? I was doomed...A lamb for the slaughter.
But fighting you taught me you’re just a man, you’re an opponent, highly skilled, maybe the greatest wrestler on the face of this earth, but still just a man, and everyone can be beaten. We all lose, sooner or later we all fall…The fact that you’re so good, so respected, so well known makes my beating you all the sweeter…
They say the man makes the belt, the belt doesn’t make the man, and you’re living proof of that, EPW’s World Title is so sought after because people want to fight Triple X, they want to get in that ring and take a shot at the best…Most fail…But not me…No, I’ve taken the measure of you twice…For all your talk, I’m the one guy you haven’t retired, haven’t shown up…
MUSE: I’ve changed my mind you can bring up the DQ win as legit.
FIRST: How kind of you.
MUSE: I am nothing if not merciful.
FIRST: Well she said it…So it has to be true…I guess that means for all your talk, we’re still 1-1 in our little series…Of course I didn’t get the belt for beating you…But that’ll be fixed come Black Dawn…
I didn’t say that wanting to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue was a bad thing, I’m just saying that is what you want, what you need…I need it just as bad, and for me…Well my stay at the top hasn’t been nearly as long, after Aggression 42, oh how I watched the promos by you, JA, and Rocko, how I hoped I’d hear my name come up and make me still relevant…
But I wasn’t…Yesterday’s news, just another guy who fought the champ and came up short. It hurt I saw how intoxicating it was to be in the spotlight and how painful it was to have it taken away.
And that’s where you’ve spent the better part of the last two years, fighting all comers, leading this company, and that’s why you’re so horrified of losing it. I was upset for being ignored after just a night, but years of that attention and then it’s gone…No wonder you tried to put your career up against me…Once you lose that title you won’t know what to do with yourself…Oh maybe you’ll send Stalker to cripple me like you did with Rocko, oh you’ll be desperate, because your world will be falling apart…
Oh they’ll still call you great, they’ll still say you’re the man, but when those main events roll around, when I’m defending the EPW World Title against the best the EPW locker room has to offer, we won’t be sitting there talking about Sean Stevens and his greatness…No, you’ll be off the front page…Slowly the page will turn…Slowly I’ll creep into the conversation of “Greatest EPW World Champion of all time.” Slowly you’ll fade from the main event, to legend, to the person spoke about in the past tense. “Was great” “Had dominated” “Used to rule EPW”
I get that you’ve suffered, you’ve had the surgery, you’ve suffered the injuries, been maimed and had to dig down deep to overcome all of that to get to where you are…And to be honest, I’ve never suffered that badly…I busted up my knee once, but the doctors said I just had to rest to fix it, so I did…So if we were comparing medical horror stories, you would win…But that’s not what will be the subject at hand at Black Dawn…No that will be four men fighting to prove themselves the best in the world today…
MUSE: Time is cruel to us all…Our futures are so distant, they seem so full of possibilities, there’s always something to dream of, to aspire to, yet it’s not yet here, it’s not been made real, and when you get there, it’s never as you thought it would be…And the past, if painful, cuts like a blade, a prison you can never escape, and if beautiful, the bitter melancholy of having those days lost forever sets it…We struggle and fight but for moments…For they are all we ever truly have…
FIRST: And that’s what I fight for to stand in that ring in the middle of the Rose Garden, with 20,000 people screaming and yelling, as I hold that EPW World Title Belt over my head…I will have my moment.
