(Hans): I’ll make this quick, as I’ve got more important things I’d rather be doing with Vanessa and family at the moment.
He adjusts his standing position, spreading his legs further apart somewhat, as his hands slip into his jean pockets.
(Hans): Eddie. That you can sit there, and actually say that you deserve a rematch without your tongue being fixed so far into the side of your mouth that it makes it look like you have an ulcer, says it all. You’re deluded. You ‘hate to sound’ like you’re making excuses do you? Why do it then? That I’ve faced you numerous time when you’ve not been at your best? Not my problem Eddie. That it’s happened so many times, and over a period of time tells me that you need to start evaluating where it is in your life that you need to make some serious adjustments. I’d start by showing a little bit of class, and admitting that if a man has four victories over you, there must be something he’s doing that makes him the better wrestler, because ‘problems’ or not, someone who claims to be World title material, needs to set things aside and focus on the task at hand. AC James fought through injury in defence of his title. Butch Parker fought through seeing Sean being crippled. Many others have done similar actions over the years.
You didn’t.
I think that says a lot.
Putting down my match and subsequent title victory over you to me simply ‘cashing in my chips’ to Senester though? Please. You’re in danger of having the next bitter fruit or vegetable they find being named after you.
I did no such thing as ‘cash in’, because you sealed your fate when you bottled out of facing someone who actually gave a damn about getting a shot for the World title, and named Senester instead. He wasn’t pleased, and made it very clear what he thought of you. The only thing I did was position myself as the best candidate for your next title defence by beating AC James, not to mention coming off the back of what many regard as the greatest title reign in the ‘All-Star’ history. Put two and two together Eddie, even you can get four.
Speaking of numbers, you say that viewing numbers will fall if my lottery fails to pick out one of the top guys? Au contraire Eddie, they won’t. You see, the HWA fans are clamouring out for a World champion that… fights. They want a World champion that day in, day out, doesn’t sit there making excuses, skipping shows or walking away in the middle of his matches. They want a World champion who day in, day out proves to them just why he holds that belt in the first place.
I can also speak for a large percentage of the HWA fans when I say that things don’t revolve around you Eddie. So it could be a few events before your name is drawn from the tumbler? You’re in the same boat as everyone else Eddie, and so far, I don’t hear them complaining. A lot of them are happy that they’re in with a chance, deserving or not. And you my friend, are definitely not deserving…
I find it amusing that you moan about how long it could be before you get your shot, only to then add that you’re not ready yet for it anyway…
A derisive snort escapes.
(Hans): As for your ‘rematch’ clause. Take a ticket, and join the large queue of wrestlers who have yet as been unable to cash theirs in in years past. One thing you have in common with them all, is that by the time they lost their title, they’d lost the right to hold it in the first place.
You feel ‘angry, overlooked and misunderstood’ do you Eddie? Well, you’ve only yourself to blame for that. Try, for once in your life, to accept that, instead of sitting there bleating about the injustice of how a man who has earned his shot at the World title then beat you for it, and has then set about actually showing why he’s the man on top.
You, Eddie K, are nothing but a cowardly liar. And that is what separates everyone from you, the man who thinks a fair fight is outnumbering someone with your cronies. You, the man who has to keep looking at viewing figures that are now a year old because he can’t stomach the thought of not being able to say that he’s a ‘big draw’. You, the man who compares AC to a spoiled child, temper tantrums and all, even as you sit across from Ronnie McNeil…
He tilts his head back, laughing.
(Hans): You’re right though, your time will come again Eddie, and this time, I want there to be no excuses on your part for why you yet again failed to beat me. I don’t want to hear a single peep out of you, not even a hint of a whine. It will be pure chance that determines when you face me… and you’ll sure as hell need it to be on your side once we step into that ring. Fact.
As it stands though, we’ll use this upcoming Lumberjack match to see if you’ve got what it takes in that respect.
He flashes a smile at the camera.
(Hans): As for your illustrious partner; Ronnie McNeil. What a pleasure it will be to finally have you attack me head on, rather than your usual blindsiding…
He glances down at the iPhone he withdraws from one of his pockets.
(Hans): Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got someone I need to speak too…
The scene fades to black.
