"I can see why guys get sidetracked, get distracted." James begins quietly, "I mean, I never quite 'got it' while being World Champion, All-Star Champion.....although it all started making sense when I held those tag-team belts with Eddie. Other people's issues, outsiders wanting a pound of your flesh......"
James shakes his head and sighs again, then sips from his glass of red.
".....it sucks being a challenger, and having something else hanging over your head." James continues, "I mean this honestly and respectfully.....or as respectfully as someone like me can mean it.....but, I can take Buff. I can take Buff, I can take his title, and I can do SOOOOOOOO much more with it than he can, and quite frankly, more than anyone else currently on this roster. On any-given-day, AC James could take Buff Bridges down and be the next All-Star Champion.......if it weren't for the monkey on my shoulder, the shadow lurking over my back......young Ed and his 'nWo'."
James turns to the camera and leans-back against the balcony railing.
"All the confidence in me, all the confidence that made me a 2-time Tag-team champ, an All-Star Champ, HWA Ringmaster AND HWA World Heavyweight Champion tells me I can take-out Ed........take out Talon......take out McNeil.....Hell, I could guarantee that I could take-out Hogan......I've been there, done that in all respects, bar Hogan. BUT, together? I'm not so sure." James continues, "I KNOW what strength in numbers is all about. We All know how that works......thing is, I've rarely been on the receiving end of it."
"So the challenger in me 'fears' for my chances in this match, not so-much because Buff has gone from the 'Alpha-male' to the 'underdog', but because of the nWo." James says, "But the champion......the arrogant, take-no-bull$hit, loud-mouthed, 'kill you all' mentality-having motherf**ker says 'bring it ON'! It's as much a war-inside as it is a war with the world outside.....and quite frankly, in my 'old-age'.....I'm getting sick of this $hit and just want to THROW.....THE F**K....DOWN!"
James grins and nods before sipping at his glass of wine.
"So Buff, let's do this $hit like we've NEVER done it before." James says, bemused, "Whether it kills us, makes us stronger, or sends us into retirement, let's do this $hit and let the nWo f**k with us all they like."
"Quite frankly....." James says, with a smirk and a wink, "......all I want is a motherf**king FIGHT!"
Shot fades-out as James chugs down the rest of his wine and tosses the glass out into the night sky.....
