The scene opens to John Cavanagh seated inside of the locker room within the Powerade Center. He had just found out what his next matchup was in the NPW. He knew that after a few shows off he felt rejuvenated, but he also knew that things had not gone the way The Celtic Club had hoped--and now, as always, it was up to Johnnie to steer the ship back in the correct direction. John looked up to the camera and began to speak.
Opportunity. Opportunity is a funny word, it's also a loaded word. It’s a word that originated from the Latin language, evolved into French and came to English by way of French domination of England. The word itself, means a chance or as I would prefer to say “a shot”. An opportunity provides a person the shot to complete a goal, the chance to obtain something--if they have the wherewithal to get it done. Now, let’s delve further into what an “opportunity” truly means. The root word in “opportunity”...opportune. For those of you less worldly pieces of shit that I share the locker room with “opportune” happens to mean that something happens at just the right time, something that is convenient. Hm, funny how the “opportunity” to challenge for any championship in Northern Pro Wrestling is dangled in front of Johnnie Cav--the most “opportune” human being this industry has to offer.
John produced a feint chuckle.
Funny that old man Arnold thought it would be a good idea to hang a raw, bleeding steak in front of the face of a starving Pit Bull. Funny how anyone in their right man can sit back and think that this wasn’t ordained by the man upstairs himself. The opportune bastard has the ability to take an opportunity by the balls and hold the lives and psyche of everyone who holds championship gold in this promotion hostage. That’s a scary thought, isn’t it? If you’re a champion, how will you feel after John Cavanagh is the one holding the golden ticket in his hand--once John Cavanagh is the one you have to watch out for. See, my brother Trigger, he gave a valiant effort--he really did, I gotta commend the little fucker where its due. The problem for Trigger though, he thinks life is a fucking game--he goes through his days thinking that everything is going to be his, that he doesn’t have to bust his ass to make sure he gets what he wants! That’s a difference that people have noticed since we were little shits running around on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen. Trigger thought that because he was, who he was, the world would bow to him and all of the power he desired would be bestowed upon him.
John sucks his teeth and shakes his head before continuing.
Well, I love my brother, but he just doesn’t seem to get the way this sport works. See, in the streets, you don’t need to be the toughest or the smartest--you just really need to have the better support or need to be the one with the most screws loose. Inside those ropes support helps but for the most part, you’re on your own. In that squared circle having screws loose is actually more detrimental than one would assume. In this sport we call a profession, the opportunistic, calculated bastards are the ones who attain their goals and grasp their opportunities. And, believe it or not--we usually get it done most efficiently and have the longest, most successful careers out of them all. So what do I think about this opportunity?
John raises his right eyebrow slightly and nods his head up and down.
Opportunities are a bitch, they don’t come around as often as we would all like them to. But, just like when a beautiful woman presents herself to you, if you're a man and you've got a sack filled with balls you're gonna take that opportunity and make the most of it. You're gonna take that pretty woman's hand, drag her out on to the dance floor and at the end of the night? That pretty bitch, that opportunity, is coming back home with you! Why? Because unlike the other 99.9% of the competitors in the sport, or men in that bar or club, you had the fortitude to get it done. You had the confidence to make sure that in the end, you got the desired outcome! You weren't taking no for an answer.
John pauses for a moment.
Now, before someone makes a smart ass remark--no means no boys.
John laughs before going back to his speech.
So, to my two opponents at Vicious Valentine's--Shawn Kutter and Leon Van Zandt--we all have this beautiful woman standing in front of us. Leon and I are staring at the same beautiful woman and as far as that bitch is concerned, I guess she's with you right now, ain't she Shawn? Now, we all know what happens when two or more men want the same female--there's bound to be some blows thrown. Somebody is bound to get their mental and physical hurt, its a guarantee. Well boys I'm gonna break it to ya, Shannon's had my heart long enough that I wouldn't wink at another bitch but you bet your ass that at Vicious Valentine's...I'm going to be that heartless, vicious, cunning bastard that takes that beautiful woman that you're both drooling over...and make her leave with me. Don't worry guys, I'll treat her right--I'll make sure that she gets me exactly where I want to be.
The left side of John's lip curls to a smirk.
I guess I should get this outta the way now. All the champions around here, get ready--the Irishman is coming for ya. Your days holding championship gold are numbered. See you guys soon!
John laughs, stands to his feet and walks off screen.
