Butch shakes his head sardonically, a wry smile finding its way across his face.
(Butch): See at first, as you may have probably seen, I was quite angry over the events that transpired at the end of Fatality. But now that I’ve had time to reflect, it actually makes me laugh. I mean, listen to you, Talon, is there no indeed to your hypocrisy? Does it know no bounds?
Honestly? I think you’ve been letting Eddie put far too many words in your mouth that you’ve actually forgotten how to think and speak for yourself. It’s a truly sad state of affairs, both sad and pathetic.
One of the many things that struck me Talon, is both you and Eddie, ever since the two of you arrived here in the HWA over two years ago, you have shielded yourself both physically and verbally with those around, using others to deflect what anyone said about you. I mean there was Hennessy, that jackass brother of Eddie’s, Angel, DNA, AC James, Nightwolf, Ricky Evans, Merlyn, even your own sister, Talon. And now look at you, in full knowledge that you, Eddie and Ronnie are unable to win anything unless you band together. I mean Talon, come on…you’re the “Reflection of Perfection” you shouldn’t need to ride anyone’s coattails to accomplish something….you’ve been wrestling since you were kid after all, you’ve been to Japan, you’ve accomplished more by the age of 22 than anyone other living wrestler has done in their entire careers.
Butch snorts a pitying laugh through his nose.
(Butch): Like I said, truly sad. You also failed to mention that before you bribed Hogan to pull his 57-year old cock out of Dixie Carter’s ass that both you and Eddie practically begged me, among others to join your little boy band. Phone call after voicemail after text message after email, it was kind of pathetic to be honest, desperate if you will. I guess when you couldn’t tempt the some of the best names, you had to settle for a man who despite what he’s done for pro wrestling, is only living off a legacy that has long since lost its appeal, a man who these days is more akin to a cartoon character than he is a wrestling icon. And what’s even sadder is that you actually think that just because you have Hulk Hogan at your side, that this automatically means that all the championships are going to systemically find themselves around your waists. If you really think that’s the case, you’re more stupid and fickle than I took you for.
Ronnie McNeil is not a champion, Eddie is not a champion and you Talon are most definitely not a champion. You are the definition of mediocrity Talon, and you all have proved in your own amazing ways. Like Senester said, you didn’t drop the ball during your miserable title reign; you put the ball down and let it roll away from you. McNeil lost his All Star Championship, a title he claimed never to even want in the first place, he only wanted it just so he could get one over on Hans…childish and pathetic. And if you want to talk about bottom feeders, you needn’t look far to find the perfect candidate in Eddie, a man who single-handedly took on your mantle of worst HWA World Champion in recent memory and knocked it out of the ball park. I mean I daresay the length of time I spent as a two-time HWA World Champion is longer than the time the three of you spent with that belt. You think you all deserve to be champions just because you feel you’ve earned it, well I’m going to ask what makes you think you’ve earned it? What have you done since you lost the World Title Talon? Nothing but cry and complain about how hard things are, oh by the way, how’s your Lamborghini collection coming along? Yeah things are really tough, aren’t they? And what has Ronnie McNeil done since he lost the All Star Championship? That’s right, nothing! And Eddie, well, I’m not even going to dignify with a response. So what makes any of you think you’ve earned a shot at any of the championships currently available? I’ve declared my interest in challenging Hans for the World Title but it doesn’t mean I will get, because I have to prove myself and that’s what you three are going to have to do. So if I were you, I’d stop fannying around in Eddie’s cesspit of a bar, put down the goddamn bucket of wings, leave the bottle of Tequila where you found it and try earning your spots again.
Butch can feel his temper rising the more he talks and takes a deep breath before continuing.
(Butch): And you want to talk about Buff Bridges, Talon? This is where my blood boils. Not when you spray paint across my back or humiliate me in front of thousands, I can take that on the chin day in and day out. But when you question the ethics of a legend, just because you’ve got some undeserved feeling of self satisfaction. Only you or Eddie could think that anyone gives a shit about ratings! About the number of promos that we post over the HWA Network. Buff Bridges got his title shot at Ronnie and defeated him because he EARNED it. He may not have done much recently but his past credentials hold more value than any of your pathetic résumés put together.
Whilst you were learning how to whack off with that thing between your legs, Buff Bridges was putting professional wrestling back on the map whilst your beloved Hulkster was making a fool of himself in WCW. You think any of the matches you’ve had with Eddie or anyone else is a rival for any of the matches “The Real Stuff” had? Try Buff Bridges vs. Butch Parker at HWA Forbidden 2004 try Buff Bridges vs. David Hollis for the HWA United States Championship, try Buff Bridges vs. X-Treme Jay – the night he won the HWA World Championship for a tenth time and went on to hold the title for over a year. You have no right whatsoever to question a man like Buff, Talon. In ten years time, and you’ve won the HWA Title nine more times, became the first man to win Ring Master twice defeated every single person management can put in front of you and seen your name etched in the Hall of Fame, then you can come back and justify your words, but not today Talon. See, men like Buff, myself, Hans, AC James even Senester. We come from an era where respect was measured by the amount of blood that was spilled, sweat poured and tears shed; by our integrities, pride and courage. If you lost a match, you didn’t b###h, cry or moan, you got on with it! If management told you were facing someone you knew wasn’t fit enough to lace your boots you didn’t bat an eyelid, you just got on with it, because it was your f***ing job. Just like if it wasn’t for Hulk Hogan, guys like Buff and me wouldn’t be able to do this, but if it wasn’t for guys like Buff and me, YOU wouldn’t be able to do this. Busting your ass? *Butch scoffs* you don’t know the meaning of it.
Butch looks down at the watch strapped around his wrist and his eyes widen at the time.
(Butch): Well, I think I’ve rambled enough for one sitting, if you’ll excuse me I have a wedding to plan and a dictatorship to overthrow. Remember this though Talon, you started this, you drew first blood. These events that are about to emerge were set in motion by your actions. But every action has a reaction….and a Scottish reaction is quite a f***ing thing.
The scene fades to black.
