Addressing the Elephant in the Room. (Vs Eddie D vs Fowler)

[eddiehavok]

The video footage slowly comes into focus. Eddie is standing in front of the Skulls of Grimm clubhouse. 

"Well, I wasn't surprised. Ed D was the first to respond." 

He just shook his head briefly. 

"So my remarks on you being the big fish in a small pond. Seemed to hit hard. Left a sour taste in your mouth, damn then you should be more careful with what you put in there!" 

He took a moment to look around, while choosing his words. 

"Damn.. are you really trying to justify the level and revelations of SWAT by dropping the X Crown into it. Right let's get one thing straight, SWAT wasn't a big promotion. You sure as hell ain't the big deal that people make you out to be. All hype, fuck all talent!" 

He pulls on the front of his leather jacket, while still looking at the camera. 

"Let's backtrack for a second. The X-Crown! So you dropped that in. What was the expected response here? Was I meant to suddenly accept the SWAT is a huge deal, cause some of the champions also held the X Crown. Was it meant to show me how revelation SWAT is, well to you. Guess what, I wasn't impressed, just showed me that one thing. SWAT was truly a one small pond. True you might have shared talent with XHF. That still doesn't give SWAT any revelation at all." 

"I have taken a moment to look at the precious champions of the X-Crown title. What stood out to me? Honestly not a lot, not one of the names on the list stood out as a big player. To be honest with you, I haven't got a bloody clue of who any of them are. Let's face it, the only good thing about XHF at the moment, is that they have WUK on the network. Even with the announcement of the upcoming Call to Arms show. It hasn't affected the rating for the network."

He takes a moment to brush his back out of his face with both hands. 

"I was approached about taking part in the CTA show. So were many others from WUK. Guess what no one was interested in, why would any of us go through the effort to turn up to these shows. Well that's not totally correct, a team of former SWAT people. Have decide to sign up, well the team doesn't represent the best of WUK. What bonus would it have for me to sign up to this.. none at all. Its not like if my team won, anything would come of it, other than bragging rights. Well WUK has the best best talent on the XHF Network anyway" 

 

A smile slowly emerges across his face. 

"Let's face facts, if I want to challenge myself in the ring. Well I can do that here in WUK at any time. Do I want to Hold a prestigious title? Once again WUK is the place to be for that. Anyone on the network who wants to take a shot, then come to WUK to see if you have what it takes." 

Taking a moment, Eddie is doing a mental checklist.   

" Eddie, if you actually think your odds on favourite walking in to match, then you Obviously have taken more hits to the head than I gave you credit for. You are actually going to have to outline out the best match of your career if you want to win this match. Let's face facts, Ed D. You're a two time former SWAT World champion right? So you was beat for the title at something. Who was it that beat you for the honor? Oh yea, John "Frostbite" Cannon. I almost forgot about him. You see a few years ago when I faced him in another fed and kicked his ass and toom the title he had held for ages, the little bitch quit the red and went running to SWAT. So if that punk can beat you for the World title. It really doesn't say alot about your ability at the end of the day. Before you get all offended It's not that I hate you, I am just not impressed with what I have seen, generally if you want to pick up the win. Then you better go to pray for a bloody miracle." 

Eddie starts to rub his hands together. 

"True that Fowler was attacked by Donzig at the last show. Even not at 100% it is going to take a lot to take him out of the decision. It's true, Billy, we have been in the same feds over the years. Definitely on different paths during that period. I was a newcomer, finding my feet. Yourself, you were doing your thing with the Bastards and being a solid mid carder. Now fast forward to the present. We are both In the main event for the World title." 

Eddie starts to crack his knuckles. 

"Surprising how things have changed over the years. True to a point there is a message of mutual respect. However when the time comes and the bell rings. It will just come down to who wants the win and the title more. The desire to become champion and the most important the first ever World champion in history books. I saw how dominating and impressive you were in your last match. I have to say that is the most focused I have seen you in years. What you need to remember is I am also very focused on winning this match and becoming World champion. I'm not that younger sterling that you meet back in RSW in the tag team match. It will take a lot more to keep me down now!" 

Eddie moves closer to the camera, couching down to look straight into the lens

 

"I'm looking forward to this match, bring you best guys. You will need to!" 

Suddenly Eddie stood up as the feed cut out.
