Talon, “wow… Buff has a little wall of people shields too I see…”
Talon watches on… and then finally hits “STOP” and turns back to the camera.
Talon, “Butch… really? You want to talk about our offer to you about possibly joining our group? You really want to go there? Because I’ve got the conversations archived on the computer over there… I mean, I’m pretty sure that when I said “so where do you stand on coming on board” and you said “I’m still on the fence”…. My reply to you was “yeah me too, still not sure if you’d work out”…. Or something to that effect. Like I told you when we discussed our potential pairing… I told you it was simply for the shock value of you joining a group of guys you hated… You hate us all for various reasons and it is ok with me. Frankly Butch, I don’t think you’d have lasted a week before we decided to give you the “booker T” treatment and kick you out of our group anyways… You’re too worried about your personal legacy… from complaining about your win loss record against certain people…. *COUGH COUGH* HANS *COUGH COUGH* to being so mad that until last month, you had never beat me either… Not in that four way cage match, not at Ring Master…. But when you sided with Senester, you managed to beat me, so congratulations on over coming that personal demon of yours… Meanwhile… what was that about your perfect record against Hans? Do you really think you’ll keep that perfect record when you get picked in the “lets get the champ some street cred Lottery”… I mean c’mon Butch, Hans is in position to be champ for at least six months… especially with the lotto bit, because only three people have a legitimist shot at winning it, and honestly, I don’t think the HWA would let myself or Ed win, even if we out classed Hans in every facet of the competition. There’d be some kind of stipulation that played into it, or Hell, You’d step in and keep it from happening, so honestly, who has a chance of beating Hans? I’d say Ronnie, AC James… and maybe you? Maybe…. But I still think the company wants you to put him over, which has to eat you up inside… but enough about you… let’s go back to what you were saying… Me, a hypocrite…. Maybe? But really, since I can’t really be that “insignificant” if you are constantly thinking about me Butch… Why is it that you’ve gotta fire back at me? Is it because I painted the W on your back? Or is it because I’ve got a nice collection of FBP t-shirts? …maybe it’s because you want to go 2 and 2 against me and you think that you have a better shot now that I’m demoted and am currently in the Spotlight division?... Or…or…. Is it that you don’t think we’ll even get a match since Im not in the division anymore, so you think you can run off at the mouth like a big bad Scotsman, with the comfort of knowing I’m not in a position to drive you face into the mat? Go adjust your kilt and come back when the times right Butch… Then again, neither of us have a match at Havoc, turn in a favor and step into the ring with me next week… Hell, looking at the card, it would be the main event, but I know that won’t happen, so don’t get a hard on just yet… I hate to build you up just to find out management won’t give us the match… I’m “not worthy” of facing Buff Bridges, so why would I be worthy of facing someone as epic as Butch Parker… the One man Tartan Army….”
Talon laughs out loud as he smirks, continuing his address of Butch.
Talon, “Butch… I always had a little bit of respect for you… but when you step up to defend a guy like Buff Bridges… using the defense of “what he’s done” as an excuse for his current actions… or lack there-of… it just washed the little bit of respect I had for you down the drain. My comments on Buff actually pointed out that he used to be great, the entire rant I had about Buff was his lack of recent actions… as in the past two to three years. I said he was a joke these days, and that he has done even less than myself, which, admittedly after last year, is pretty bad… I went from doing all kinds of public appearances, promos and segments…. 150 in 2009, to only about 60 in 2010… but I received my punishment, and I admit to failing, So when I called out a guy who deserves a punishment similar to mine, Its not calling for anyone to chime in their ‘2 cents’ its more to either motivate the guy to do some f*ckin’ work, or man up and say something back… Oh, and Senster, I also made it clear that I didn’t care about Buff’s title, I just wanted to face him… He can keep the All Star title, it’s apparent I’m not allowed to go for the All Star, so I plainly stated, that if Buff wanted to face me, it could be none title without a qualm from me… I just want to kick his ass and see if it will get him motivated to be “THE REAL STUFF” again… but I guess he can’t speak for himself, so Butch, Senester… thank you for speaking for the All Star Champion.”
Talon looks back to the TV, now back on the black “HWA NETWORK” home screen… and thinks about what he has heard on the TV over the past several minutes and then continues…
Talon, “Butch… you class yourself with guys who “without them” I wouldn’t be about to “do this”… well I hate to burst your bubble Egomaniac, but you were sitting at home toying with your Braveheart action figures when I entered the HWA through the RWF.. You showed up right at the end, when I had already turned on the RWF and was driving them out… once again you had to get in on the action, so you popped up and tried to be a hero. You tried to steal the spotlight and be relevant again after being gone… kind of like you did after you retired and walked away from the game last year, but the you came back again… I had never even heard of you before you popped up and came back when I joined the HWA…. And I did my homework, I knew about Hollis, Bridges, Dredge… all the great matches and classic battles… but your name wasn’t amongst the “must knows” that everyone talked about. Butch, you think so highly of yourself, and its almost amusing, and it would be, if it weren’t so sickening… You may have been the “gladiator of god” for a few months, but other than that, you’ve been the same old guy you’ve always been… short fuse, hot head… roaring and pounding your chest as you run around doing your thing, all the while thinking your something greater than you really are… You kept saying that I was complaining about losing the title, and complaining about how hard life is? …no, I never said life was hard… I simply point out facts about things… my life is great, I have a penthouse in New York City, I have 20 cars, a home in North Carolina, a private jet, an awesome little sister, and an amazing family… I have a job doing something that I love, and I have a group of friends that would ride and die with me… I just have to work day in and day out to refute the stupid accusations of people who are jealous of my quick success… bitter veterans who can’t stand the fact that I am more popular and better in the ring then they can, have, or will ever be… My life is great Butch Parker, I’m just climbing out of one of life’s many ruts and pitfalls… So you can fire back at me all you like, but your opinion is of minimal significance to me, so unless you say something that really catches my interest, I’m done with you until we meet in the ring next… Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some important business to attend to.”
Talon goes to walk away, when suddenly the HWA Network page pops up and Han’s interview begins to play… Talon pauses and sits on the couch, watching and listening to the world champion’s views and thoughts… he listens to Han’s as he answers question regarding himself… After a moment he raises an eyebrow and stands up, facing the camera one final time…
Talon, “Hans… I don’t know if maybe I did not speak clearly enough, and that’s not an insult, but let me make clear what I said in my last Promo… I said at Fatality, you were in the wrong place, at that wrong time… being champion and in the main event… Not that you are undeserving of the belt… but that you were only attacked by myself and the rest of the NWO as a result of ‘wrong place, wrong time’… I doubt you need me telling you that you are a deserving Champion, but I will say that you earned it, from your quest to the title since your return, to the matches against Eddie to win the title… Perhaps you figure that all of us ‘bad guys’ are the same, but I do respect your abilities Hans, and when I say Ronnie is the next champion, it is not a slight to your abilities, I am simply pointing out that when you do lose the title… and eventually, you will lose the title… It is going to be to Ronnie McNeil… So Hans, hopefully you now understand what I was trying to say. You were a victim of circumstance, not a blatant target, at least in my eyes… So Hans, I say to you, good luck in your lottery matches, and I look forward to facing you in the future… but just know, when we step into the ring, I will be coming for your title, whether I am told prior that I have a chance or not… my in ring ability has never been in question, and you know that… and now, with my focus returned to the HWA and wrestling in general, you will get to see me start my trek to once again merit a fair shot at your championship.”
Talon grabs his coat, throws on a Yankees fitted hat, tips it to the camera, and leaves the penthouse, gym bag in hand once again as the scene fades to black.
