(CUT TO: A concerned JJ DeVille sits in a chair, chessboard in front of him.)
JJ: "Rook Black, I pray tell you get this message. First -- and I don't do this often... or ever... but I'm going to say something heartfelt, earnest and true. Scout's honor. Even the gay scouts.
I'm sorry.
You see, Rook, I had the full intention of addressing our situation in the latest HFC missive. However, you're a smart person. There's the rule of three -- I had to address situations, as did my two cohorts. We excluded you from that promo for a reason. It was not to disrespect you. It was not to make you feel less important in our eyes.
It was because I wanted the public communication between yourself and myself to stand out. My message should come earlier, true, but the HFC has been a bit busy... oh... having the entire wrestling community coming after it.
As far as where we left off -- your title versus my membership... I'm still considering that. Yes, the HFC values your title, just as we value EVERY title here in NFW. And if that's what it takes to get a match for that title, then, yes, I will accept that wager. Because, Rook Black, you are one of the few men in this sport -- nay, this earth -- who truly understands what this whole thing is about. In fact, Rook Black, I am even willing to suggest that Rook Black IS INDEED YOUR REAL NAME.
(JJ purses his lips.)
So we can work out this match and I can say mean things about you and you can say mean things about me and we can do this. But, being a man of cold and unfeeling logic, also known as an adult, I think you should reconsider a few points before we go that route.
Your concerns about me are indeed legitimate. I did a lot of bad things to a lot of people here in NFW. I will not nor never will apologize for what I've done. The NFW wronged me many, many times as I've addressed. I was out of this sport, blackballed by the political game, largely because I used to beat Eddie Mayfield's ass in the CSWA and also because Troy Windham wanted me to become not the man who rode his coattails... but the man who would replace him as the biggest star in the world of professional wrestling. And, there's no doubt about it, NO ONE gets the reactions that I do. NO ONE gets hit with garbage quite like I do. I rather enjoy it, in fact.
That also ties into Dan Ryan. I did not sign up in the Windham Clan to help Dan Ryan win yet another world title. I signed up in the Windham Clan in order to steal the spotlight that comes with the name Windham. Dan Ryan winning the NFW World Title would be a threat to my quest for power. Dan Ryan winning the title means HE has a say in Windham Clan affairs. Well, he didn't win. And then he crossed me. And then I came back at him harder than anyone else ever has, in a way no one else ever has. I stood out on national television and told the world THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH about he and his dead daughter. And guess what?
I'm here. Dan Ryan's not. I'm here, Troy Windham's not. I'm here, Mike Randalls' not.
So, Rook Black -- again, indeed your real name -- that explains that.
But now I'd like YOU to address some points that I asked of you.
NUMBER UNO!
I have hurt the shareholder equity of NFW. But should you blame me for that or should you blame the fact that Il Duce Mayfield is a complete and total dumb dumb? It was my mission to do that. I succeeded. It's Eddie's mission to stop me. He has filed at every single turn.
NUMBER TWOOOOOO!
There was a 5 on 5 match where Eddie Mayfield picked the people he felt were most likely to defeat The Windham Clan. Was your name on that list? Or even considered?
NUMBRE TRES!
You were in an alliance of sorts with Impulse in the not too distant pass. Like any right-thinking human being would, you attacked him and left him laying in a pool of blood. Was there any quest of vengeance on his part? Hell, was there even a match between you two? If there was, pardon me for not noticing it, because it was no doubt the second opening match on a random Brawl.
QUATRO QUATRO QUATRO QUATRO!
You've held the Triple Crown Championship longer than any other title holder in NFW has currently held their title. Yet, how many times have YOU -- a man rightly concerned about NFW finances -- met with Fiona Love at a marketing meeting? You, Rook Black -- again, indeed your real name -- are a worldwide legend and true icon in this industry. Yet, curiously, there are no links to your Instagram or Tumblr or other of your myriad of social media platforms.
Thus, Rook, I ask you to analyze this.
NO ONE from NFW has ever dared embraced you as they should.
WE in the Hellfire Club have offered you a membership in our elite organization.
The offer still stands.
But it's up to you YOU YOU YOU!!!!
