Chapter 1: Respect
..........Don't you love it when everything goes according to plan? When every detail down to the tiniest fiber of your elaborate scheme is executed and performed flawlessly? Don't you love the thrill of knowing something you cooked up works to perfection? Tell me...what does it feel like, because I sure as hell wouldn't know! Let us discuss my recent failure, shall we? So, I go down to that ring and pour my heart into that Triple Threat match last week. I was on the verge of victory twice, and yet I didn't pick up the victory in the end. Hell....I wasn't even involved in the decision! I mean, where did I go wrong in that match? I mean, I didn't make any mental mistakes; stayed focused the entire match for once. And from the footage I have watched, it doesn't seem that I made any physical mistakes. My moves were just as solid as my thoughts. Or did I make a mistake somewhere? Damn....I'm having a tough time keeping to this philosophy. Nonetheless, unless you are “The Time Traveler”, it is impossible to go back and change the past...all you can do is live with your mishaps and look towards the future, and hope it is bright...and that is exactly what I plan on doing. This week I have yet another Triple Threat match, my fourth in three weeks might I add. I'm up against the new comer Ace Bennett, and an old “friend” of mine, Flam.....I mean David Roberts.
..........Ace Bennett is an enigma to me. He really is. Week in and week out he is booked in impossible matches, gets the stuffing beat out of him, and returns for more the next week. Sure, he's gotten lucky a couple times as of late, but the fact remains...there is something about him that I just can't put my finger on. In the past, the bookers have pitted me against rookies like Pluto and Pink Floyd, and these guys just disappeared after our match. I proved to them they didn't belong in this business. But there is something in Bennett. I don't think he is going to go out like that without a fight. I mean I've seen this type before, but none with the will this Ace does. I mean, I have a physical and mental advantage over both of them, on top of the “veterans advantage”, and I know I could put down Bennett easily. But still, I know I cannot afford to take him lightly.
..........Dave and I though, we have a past I guess you could say. I was a key fixture in the demolition of The Independent Scene all those years ago. We also had us a little Fatal Four-Way Tag Team title match back at Super Brawl. And while neither of our teams won that match, I still lasted much longer than you. And when my team was finally eliminated, I wasn't the one that got pinned! Hell...it took a cinder block to get Williams and me eliminated. You just got kicked by Obo once, and were out like a light. You're weak, David. That's all there is to it.
..........In closing, I think of it like this. While he confuses the hell out of me, I have an immense amount of respect for Ace Bennett. A man that can go out there and get his ass kicked weekly and come back for more later deserves it in my book. It also seems like he has a good head on his shoulders, and an immense love for this business. But I hope he doesn't think that means I'm going to take it easy on him. If anything, I'm ten times more motivated to get in that ring with him and slap him around a bit. I want to push him past his limits, and see what the future of this company can really do. As for Roberts...well...let's just say I'm going to try not to hurt Bennett to badly...

OOC: Good luck, Bennett/Roberts! ;D
