Don't Call It A Comeback...
* Cameron Cruise RP for C11.
(Fadein, Cameron Cruise standing dressed in black slacks and a black dress shirt with white buttons, with his hair slicked back and black Anarchy-style shades in front of a Season 3 logo version of a Cyberstrike, complete with italic-style spelling. He mockingly claps his hands EVER so slowly, smirking at the camera.)
CRUISE: Well, well, well....Suicide, we meet again AFTER ALL....or is it Spectre.
Lord knows...I've got enough on my plate to keep me going, now I'm supposed to remember some brat who can't keep a roster spot for more than six months at a time??
But before everyone gets a laugh out of this...believe me...this IS one kid, I remember.
You see, you seem to cling onto the fact that my career was in any danger, when in fact...
I knew what I was doing the WHOLE TIME.
Suicide, you look at me and it's like I've never carried the ball in this business, let alone am I able to put forth a decent, competitive showing.
That kid at Primetime didn't stand a chance, and what's more...it got worse when he just didn't get what everyone else told him in the last EVER:
"No Means No."
Which is something you just don't exactly understand yet.
Yes, I know you had afew moments.
Everyone does.
Taking a worse shot here, a shot there....the car accident that strangely had you off a wrestling company roster for a SECOND time in as many months.
Unfortunately, until last season...that put you "Out of Action", for quite frankly...the better part of ten years.
For being out almost a decade, Suicide...you've got an interesting way of the definition for "Perserverence".
Skipping months and years at a time before showing up to remind audiences that you indeed had a chance at a career in this business is NOT the way how to do things, kid.
No, you don't know me, you only pretend to do so based on what you've SEEN me do.
Especially when I was the one who stopped you from nearly ending OTHER careers of wrestler's in this industry, back when you were in Empire Pro as well.
(Cruise smiles as he takes a moment to let it sink in.)
That's right, I'm not a leader to you, but that's okay....Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
That's right, I said it.
(Cruise continues)
I'm not a Leader but I've been one of the very few who's lasted as long or longer than anyone else in New Era's Battle Brawl, three events running.
Granted, I've yet to win the darn thing, but I don't see it as a bad experience, but one I can only do better by WINNING.
In the meantime...you're nowhere to be found.
You don't think I'm a leader, yet at the same time...I show up to every show on the schedule, ready to work.
Your three wins you had last season...sparingly, which is not exactly what I would call "impressive."
In fact, your first win was my RECENT win, so case in point...
Anything you do I can do and HAVE DONE...BETTER.
You've held ONE title in this company's history...for about a month, before getting "injured", and then that's the last we heard from you, as I said...until recently.
I won the SAME title from a man who held it for almost THREE YEARS, the longest Championship reign in history...and also held the NEW Tag Team Championship at the same time.
You don't think I'm a leader but it was only after I signed a contract with Paul Freeman and Empire Pro that I saw what you were doing there, and took action.
No one else did, and as a reward, I won a Four-way match in Empire Pro to receive the VERY FIRST World Heavyweight Championship title shot.
As far as taking in the consideration of what The First had in store.....he had the right track, this is true.
I also failed at accomplishing what I had set out for, this is also true.
But the man does have legitimacies in his arguments, kid, something that EVERYONE ELSE had failed at convincing me in at the time, and continues to do so today.
But I didn't cash in my soul...I cashed in an opportunity at taking ADVANTAGE.
See, you don't know The First at a level, like I do; The First is SMART, he found a loophole in the system.
Which is more than I can say for you, son....you think I've screwed up another chance at succeeding??
At least I've been making a constant ATTEMPT; you think I've been waiting for something to happen, after I just explained to you something fairly simple; I earned a shot like everyone else...and then I TOOK another one.
You??
Hell, until last season, you've been at home.
The fact is that you think I'd even be OFFERING you my "spot", when the truth is that despite your handful of victories in New Era since last season....you don't deserve to shine my boots.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
You see son, I don't take kindly to people who think they know my career better than I do, especially when they don't show up a few months at a time and still expect a handsome paycheck.; that stuff generally doesn't work around here.
One might think that after you leave two different places...and don't return for the better part of a decade, that you don't incur...a destiny. No, unfortunately as well as for the rest of the New Era Roster, you're gonna learn fairly quickly...the destiny incurs YOU.
What more "false bravado" can I show you??
I'd like to believe that "Mister Main Event" Rob Sampson is performing somewhere....but I can't say much for someone like Rob, because Rob on a completely different level entirely, much like Tsunami.
However...if you wanna be technical about it...I just saw Tsunami last week, which means, two things:
One: Yes, somewhere on this planet...Tsunami is proving you wrong by LIVING.
Two: Everyone else but you is able to heal from an "accident", and even furthermore...
Still doing alot better than you are.
I've been waiting for you to show your face---er---mask, for seven years, to see you in the ring again.
Not to ask you to lay down your roster spot, not even to ask you to step aside; on the contrary.
I plan on going straight THROUGH YOU.
(Cruise takes off his shades as the camera pans closer.)
I just ended a man's career in New Era at Primetime...LEGALLY....and I get to start Season three against not just anyone...I get YOU.
(Cruise smirks again)
As far as MY situation is concerned??
It's like it's Christmas in JULY.
And I'm bringing more than just a Red Rider Bee-Bee Gun.
I'm bringing the whole ARTILLERY.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
