(Cue up "Soulwound" by Fear Factory)
(Fade into the basement of the Jobber's whitelandia compound. He stands amoung some discarded trophies, old framed pictures, and what other trinkits didn't make the cut for his trophy room.)
The Jobber: 9 months ago I said that the time for wrestling as a shadow was over. But not 5 months into that promise did the shadow return, and here I am, a broken bored man who sees no future despite knowing there should be one.
I killed Golem.
I killed Sean Edmunds.
I killed Jared Poe.
Yet what did I get from it? Another worthless contendership match up with someone like Jean Rabesque. Why even try. Jean Rabesque, a man I should have beaten 2 years ago rears his ugly head and I'm left with another case of "Hey, I should have won, right guys? Am I right? Guys?" Now this insipid battle royale. Like I'm going to even give a second thought as to what I should do in a battle royale. Get out of the ring, take my paycheck and leave. Theres nothing learned in a battle royale, nothing gained, nothing won. I don't leave the ring as a better man if I am declared the winner, and I don't leave the ring as a fallen man if I lose.
I made the Television title something worth chasing. I made Jared Poe a star just by getting in the ring with him, despite him failing twice in his attempts to beat me. I made Sean Edmunds worthless by killing his GLCW career before it started. I slayed Golem after he thought he had avenged his loss to me. So why am I standing here whining? Because, it is time to cast the shadow off again. No more losses, draws or disqualifications. I'm sick of the count outs, I'm sick of the DQs, I'm sick of the battle royales, the gauntlets, when I come into the ring I want to wrestle a single man. I don't care about titles at this point, I just want it to be seen that I am the man I claim to be, the man I proved myself to be even if no one was paying attention when I did it.
But no matter where I go, I see the words "I'm a legend, you... you are NOTHING. Maelstrom gets to be a legend, Michael Manson gets to be a legend, for some reason I think Jean Rabesque gets to be a legend now.
Forget title shots, forget contendership, forget the belts themselves. I'm sick of the Great Lakes, I'm sick of being counted out, I'm sick of each and every god damned loser I have to listen to in this federation that I'm supposed to prove myself against, I already did that, that isn't happening again.
All I want to do is humble someone. That's it. Give me 30 minutes with Jared Poe, and he won't walk again. 20 with Jared Wells and he'll never enter the ring again. Why should I even spend 20 on some washed up self promoted star like Wells, but at this point, I can't say I care who it is above me, all I want is at the final bell for them to be below me.
