This is it. The last chapter in the book that Maverick created. The finale.
The question is... Does The X*Crown complete the book? All we can guarantee is... Maverick finishes his transformation from The Peasant to The Iconic Prince... to The Iconic King.
29th of August, 2018
The scene opens up, in front of a mirror in a bathroom. There, in the reflection, is Maverick. He seems... happy. But, nervously happy. Like he knows what's going to happen but he keeps a good posture to it. The nervous smile then grows into a sinister smile.
Maverick: Jack Diamond, this may be the last time you hear from me until Global Dominance. But, I had so much more to say that I couldn't get the time to fit it into one promo. This one may come as a surprise to everyone, no one expected me to talk one more time. Taking advantage, Mav? Dirty tactics? Waiting for the last minute again? No. I want to finish.
He takes a deep breath and turns around to the camera.
Maverick: Jack. You said it yourself! Nervousness... You. Are. Nervous. But, not because you'll lose? Jack, I said I can intimidate and what did I make you? Nervous. I prove my point. Jack, I don't want you to hold back any fucking punches! I want you to hit me! HIT ME DAMMIT! HIT ME AND HURT ME THAT I'LL BE SCARED OF YOU! But, you won't. You'll bitch out of every single punch. You look into the puppy eyes of mine and hold back each punch, and that will be the biggest mistake you'll ever do! I'm going to hit my hardest. They'll call me The Best Bout Machine! Fuck Dylan Viper saying he is the best bout machine, you can't have the best matches when you job to literally everyone in AXW.
Maverick laughs it off, he turns to the mirror and turns the taps and splashes some water on his face.
Maverick: What type of leader would you be, Jack? You can't kill The Icons if you're the leader! I'm not asking you to "kill The Icons" just kill me! Me! I want to die at the hands of Jack Diamond! I neeeeeed to die at the hands of Jack Diamond! By all means, rip my guts up! Tear my intestines apart! DO FUCKING ANYTHING AHAHAHAHA! Do whatever it takes. I love how you "wanted" to hurt me but you completely turned around and said "I don't want to hurt you" Jack, as the X*Crown Champion... You can't be afraid to hurt people, even if it's your best friends. Fight like you are the best, fight like you want to remain the champ.
Another deep breath from Maverick as he turns the taps off, he stares into the lifeless reflection in the mirror
Maverick: I, The Iconic Prince, The Mercenary, Maverick, hereby declare this statement. Jack Diamond, The Ace of Spades, The X*Crown Champion... refuses to fight me. He want's to pull a Brad Swann. Bitch out of facing me, he doesn't want to hurt me? What a shame. Because of the last few weeks... I have proven to have the skills to face guys like you. You know, Jackson Steele or Curtis Kanyon. If I had the chance to these days, I would face Rob Arnold or have my rematch with Hyperion.
Maverick opens the door and walks out to find himself in The XHF Arena. He looks around at the thousands upon thousands of empty seats. It wasn't long ago, he entered here and battled Seth in their legendary wars... or was a New Age Killer to try and silence The Guns.
Maverick: You have history in this building! And, when you face me, you want to throw away that history. You are the guy I watched be the sole survivor of Four Ring Circus. And, when we went to Spain, I watched you be inches away from becoming The X*Crown Champion in The XHF Rumble. Do you want to throw it all away? Do you really? I hope not. Because I remember that conversation on the way to the airport, telling me I have a bright future, telling me I was the future. But, do you remember what I said to you before leaving you that night? I do. "One day... I'll prove something to you" I found that something. I found it. Kicking your ass and taking The X*Crown from you.
He rubs his face as he heads down to the kitchen for a drink.
Maverick: Jack. This may be a short but simple message to you but, I wanted to be as clear as it can be. At Global Dominance, you may think that I will live to be the hero, all because I had the balls to get into the head of you, you know I can get into people's heads easily. Just ask Bobby. I'll be the hero for standing up to the legend known as Jack Diamond! No. I will die... being the Villain of this whole thing. Just know this Jackie boy... Money can't buy you happiness, it can't buy you emotions. But it, for sure, won't buy you The X*Crown. Fuck Money? No, that's not the Jack Diamond I want at Global Dominance... I want the take no names, undefeated ICW World Heavyweight Champion, the real... Jack Diamond. And he better show up, or I will go and find him in that thick head of his.
He pours out a glass of water and takes a few gulps of it before placing it down on the counter.
Maverick: I'm just a throne in your side, the disrespect in your eye, all because I can't control myself. I'm like a snake in your drain, I'm taking over your brain, all because I can't help myself. Every time I turn my head, I can hear every single thing that is said, you'd wish I would go away. Here I am, again... I'm The Motherfucker of the Year.
1st of September, 2018
The scene opens up just before the finale of Global Dominance, the Main Event. We see Maverick doing push-ups as Bobby and Jack walk in on his pre-match training. Maverick lays down and sits on the floor, looking up at the two men.
Jack Diamond: If you win... you, one hundred percent, deserve every single bit of it. Best of luck to you.
Maverick: You know, I have come a long way. A very long way indeed. From being this rookie that couldn't pull out his potential, to Main Eventing a PPV for the X*Crown. Never, did I ever, thought I'd be where I am. Thanks to you two, you helped me see my true and full potential.
Bobby Barratt: This is only the beginning of new things, Mav. You could be in more matches like this in no time. Trust us when we say that. And, as far as killing The Icons go. Nothing is going to change after tonight, show everyone why we are the very best at what we do. Show everyone why we are champions, the top champions. Show everyone why we are... The Icons.
Both Jack and Maverick look at each other with smiles on their faces, they shake hands. Whatever happens, they know that this won't end The Icons. The Icons live forever.
Jack Diamond: Iconic Forever.
Bobby Barratt: Iconic Forever.
Maverick turns to the stage curtain, putting on his entrance gear. His back turned to Jack and Bobby. The show's producer counts down...
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
Maverick: Iconic Forever.
SHOWTIME!
Jack and Bobby smile, knowing that everything is perfectly fine. Nothing can hurt The Icons.
This may not be their last journey but, it will be the start of something new.
THE END.
