Showdown Promo 4

Master of Puppets

Hehehe, dingleberry. He said dingleberry. I love that word.

And now we see where we are at. With less than 24 hours to go before Showdown, we have Kurt Burton, a man with a plan. And Rex, who is seeming like he is about to have another breakdown. Actually I don’t think that is the case. Not at all. But it is obvious he is flustered. For the past week, he has been speaking much more eloquently than we are accustomed to. We have been listening to him this past week waxing poetic about image, and momentum. But obviously, I must have gotten under his skin. Because now he is raving. He is angry. He thinks that me going after his character is not enough. And it is not. He wants facts. So now I am going to lay some facts down on him. Now, I here that the internet has a really hard time putting together big chunks of information. So, I am going to list the top five facts about Sexy Rexy McAlister.

#5 - Rex has a basic understanding of physics.

Rex McAllister says that momentum is not the most important mental factor. And he is almost right on that, so let’s give him a hand there. But he acts as though this is insurmountable. There’s something interesting about momentum, it can swing in a heartbeat. Hell, he said as much to Nobi in the buildup to Dia Del Diablo, and he utilized a swing of momentum to try to take me out. But here’s the thing he hasn’t considered. He didn’t take me out did he? I mean look at the card. This match is for the #1 contendership to the National Elite Championship. While he was declared the victor at Dia Del Diablo, two weeks later I am still here. He hasn’t taken me out. Plain and simple. I mean, he put my head through a table, a fiery one at that, but here I am still. See, momentum is big, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not the most important thing. He even said as much to Nobi in the lead up to Dia Del Diablo. That even if Nobi had “a momentum” that this would mean absolutely nothing for Nobi. But let’s talk about momentum a bit more. An object in motion tends to stay in motion until it meets an equal and opposing force. Now here’s the interesting part of this. The best part about momentum actually. You do not need to stop someone to take their momentum. Rex thinks that I intend to be the tree to his Ferrari, when really, I am going to be another car, hitting a pit maneuver. See, I don’t need to stop your momentum. All I really need to do is use your momentum against you. But how does one do that? Well buddy, that is a big part of the mat game. But it’s also a big part of the mental game.

#4- When agitated Rex Makes mistakes

You just bitter man, but not because the business is as you have assessed it, but because you have watched it evolve without you, and now you have to play catch up. I thinks it, Kurt. You are are shitbag.

I just bitter. He think it. I am am shitbag.

See, we spent almost one whole week, listening to him speak. Calmly, cooly, collectedly. But now when he speaks, there is a fluster and stutter in his voice. The veneer is cracking. And this is not the only time that we have seen it. We saw it at Dia Del Diablo as well. I whipped his ass from piller to post. I made a mistake, which, give me a break. I just put three men through tables. I hit him with a piledriver onto a lead pipe. A nasty maneuver. But he still got up. And then I went to finish the deal, and give him a Helter Skelter through a table. But he got out of that too. But he was agitated. And he made a mistake. No, right now I am not talking about he handed me the match but the ref was too dumb to follow the one goddamn rule. No, I am talking about sending himself through that table at all. Why the fuck do you want to go through the table? You don’t, but Rex erither has a burning fetish, or he is about the dumbest person when he gets pissed off. Because he burnt his own flesh. Fucked up, ain’t it. It’s a good thing though that there are not any signs that Rex is getting flustered again and about to make a mistake.

“So far he hasn't in the way of a win lately”

Oh goodness

#3- He has fabulous hair.

I have made fun of his hair a lot. But in truth, I am jealous of it. I started going bald, so I had to shave mine down. I see guys like him and DeDeDe, and I am truly jealous. I miss my long hair. I can tell though, that he spends a lot of time on it, every day. At least three hours a day.

#2 - He is only starting to grasp how this business works.

Ten months, Rex has been scraping and clawing his way up out of obscurity and into the living rooms of the waiting masses. And with this, after so long scraping, he is now actually in contention for a title. Not for long, but he is in contention for a title. And he thinks that this is a great accomplishment. He thinks this makes him better than everyone else. But it is a position it took him much longer to get into than his opponents. Nico Borg, actually got a title shot after only a couple of months. Nobi, got into the same position Rex was in until Dia Del Diablo after only five months. And myself. Two weeks. He talks about momentum, but it seems to me his rolling stone has gathered quite a bit of moss. Which is ok. Some of us are late bloomers. But this illustrates a point. Rex is not better than any of us. I mean, he is definitely talented as a grappler. And if you give him an opportunity to weasel out, he is going to take it. But he doesn’t understand what the bosses want. And he doesn’t understand what the crowd wants. He is unremarkable in his move set, and his promos put people to sleep. But he says that doesn’t matter, as long as he wins in the ring. And anyone who knows anything about the history of our business knows this is not true. But that’s ok, because he doesn’t know as much as he thinks he knows about the current state of the business or the competitors. He confuses me with Killer Keenan. And he thinks that because I wasn’t invited to join Omerta, this means that Zack Crash doesn’t think I am that good. Do I look like I would fit in with Omerta? Is my style similar to theirs? Do I run around, skulking in the shadows? No. I confront my issues head on. And Crash knows this. Crash knows that I cannot be controlled. I used to hurt people, like outside of matches. Not because I had a problem with them. Just because they were there. Guys who have absolutely no work effort. Guys like Kevin Hunter. In this case, his name was Jimi Hamilton. He was talking to Crash. He was standing there backstage, after putting on one of the worst matches I have ever seen in my life. He had two functioning legs. I decided that was unacceptable. But that doesn’t mean shit here. Besides. I am not that guy anymore. I prefer to deal with lazy pieces of trash like him in the ring now. And that’s not you Rex. But how influential do you think Omerta would be, a group all about imposing their own order onto this organization, should they have a wild card like me on their payroll? Or maybe they would still be influential if they had me. Maybe Zack came to me after you stole my victory, and promised me that would not happen again. Maybe I threw my match with Rattik under Zack’s orders, to lull you into a false sense of security? Huh? Maybe that’s what’s happening. Maybe that’s not. That’s the thing Rex. You don’t shout everything into your little webcam in your hotel room because you couldn’t find a woman to keep you company for the night. You don’t lay your cards all on the table before a fight. Unless of course, you are a cocky little prick who thinks he knows more than he does. All I’ll say is this. Omerta, if I’m not part of it, it don’t bother me one bit. I don’t care about taking orders. And I don’t care about trading on my past. The past means nothing. The past shapes us, but the future is here in the present, and that is what I care about. I care about pinning you or making you tap. I don’t care about Zack Crash, or Omerta. They can run around doing their thing. Making their power play. Trying to remove Murrow from power. I don’t care about that. What I do care about, is taking the National Elite title. I care about getting back to where I was before I left this industry. And that is not me living in the past. I know that I am not a main event guy anymore. I need to get back there. I need that title, locked around my waist. Because I need to push myself. I need to take what other people say, and make them eat it. I need to prove the naysayers wrong. And you think jokers don’t make it here? Have you fucking looked around. TLA and Kenny Drake would beg to differ. Hell. Even Zack Crash was kneeling and squawking like a parrot last night. Because we have to deal with this shit. See, you still haven’t been around too long. You still don’t know. You still don’t know what’s it like to feel someone’s knee tear in your hands, and know that the person will never compete again. But you will. I have no doubt about that. Because you will do anything to get ahead. Because you care only about yourself. I don’t know if you will feel regret or pride when that happens. Something tells me though, it will be the latter. Because you are an arrogant piece of trash who thinks that he is better than everyone else. Looking at you Rex, it is like looking in a mirror. And I could tell you where your road ends. But you wouldn’t listen if I did. History repeats itself Rex. Unless you learn from your mistakes. Which actually, leads me to my last fact.

# 1- Rex does not keep his eye on developments.

Rex found a winning formula. You know this. I know this. He is now weaseling and squirming his way on up that card, because he has a few tricks that work. But we all need more than one trick. And as of right now, all I see is a one note competitor. Who knows. Maybe he has more than one trick. I wasn’t here while Rex was beginning his move toward this title. I was in the process of working out a contract, determining what merchandise I had the rights to, you know the shitty mundane parts of this business that no one ever wants to talk about. And during that time, was when you made a move for power. And you weren’t worth my time. I was looking at guys on the rise like JJ Silva, TLA, Lioncross. I was looking at guys at the top, guys like DeDeDe, Crash, Vendetta. I was watching people who were entertaining, like the Santiorium, and Cerberus. And no where in that, did I give a crap about you. So I was surprised. Because you are a guy who talks about honor and competition, when you teamed with Nico Borg to take me out. But I saw your singles match with him. And I was less than impressed. And I saw your match with Terry. And you beat him. But I was less than impressed there too. All you did in that match was beat down a bald primate. You committed monkey abuse. But then, Dia Del Diablo. I had you to rights. And you surprised me again, by being a weasel. Once again, you took me by surprise. But you have been saying and doing the same thing for these two months. And I have taken note. I am not going to underestimate you. I know that if I make one mistake, you will take me down. So I have to go back to basics. But you would think that you would actually be paying attention to what has been occurring this week. If you remember, before Dia Del Diablo, you said that I was your only competition. So I am very confused, how as I say things, that you get everything wrong. I am not 33, I am a couple months shy of forty. I said that. My back isn’t bad. I never said that. I never said that I didn’t need to change, and I have been changing absolutely everything up. At first I thought you were trying to play a mind game on me. It’s not a bad one to play. “You don’t matter.” But then I realized that it goes deeper than that. His only response to no weapons was “Duh, you’re going to get disqualified”. Even though I have used weapons in matches where disqualifications are a factor, and yet I haven’t been DQed yet. And then I realized that it is not just me. It is with everyone. Rexy doesn’t know shit about what happens to anyone but himself. He called Rattik a new guy, but Rattik has been here almost as long as me. Sure, that’s only two months, but it’s not quite the “He hasn’t been here at all.” It wasn’t his first rodeo in EAW. He is not understanding that the people who came in after him have already risen to his level, and possibly even higher. DO you think he would walk into a match with Ryan Marx and be like “You haven’t put the work in. You are no good.” Because that is exactly what Rex would do. For a person who is so obsessed with change and evolution, he seems to not realize that the influx of talent, guys like me, Rattick, Marx, Keelan, we are changing the landscape. And there is Rexy, doing the same old thing, and saying the same old shit. He is not looking behind him at the people nipping at his heels. He is not looking forward at the people in front of him. And he is not even looking at the people he wants to have in his future. Because if there is one person in this whole place who screams COMEDY!!!!!! At the top of his lungs it is the current Elite National Champion. The Pizza Boy. And I beat he could not even tell you his real name. And I don’t think you are lucky. I never said that. You have a really bad habit of putting words in my mouth. You know that? No. I said you spam the same shit over and over again and you capitalize on mistakes. Mistakes I am not going to make.

See this time it’s different. I am focused. I have my sights set on Rex. I have learned a lot about him. And I have learned a lot about this place, Elite Answers Wrestling. I am not saying that I am better than anyone in this place. I am not saying that the people in this place don’t love this business. I am saying that there are too many people like Rex who have the wrong attitude. And they have the wrong outlook. And they look at the wrong things. They think that wins and losses are absolutely everything in this business. If that was the case, some of the greatest wrestlers who have ever lived would not be so fondly remembered. Hell, one of the most legendary performers of ALL TIME lost 11 of 17 on the biggest stage his company had to offer.

And so now we come to Showdown. We come to what I’ve trained to come back for. I am going to walk into that ring, on Showdown, with no momentum. With a losing streak. And I am going to pin one of the “brightest stars” of the future of this company. And I will be the number one contender. And then I will face the Pizza Boy. And the fans will love it. Because that shit, it’s going to be hilarious.

As for Rex’s mental game, he has forgotten one of the most important parts of the mental game. It’s not just changing the environment. It’s not just momentum. It’s not about intimidating your opponent, and getting in their head. It’s not ring awareness. There is one more piece of the mental game, and one thing that Rex has normally excelled at. But this time, it’s going to be different. Because I am taking that most important aspect of the mental game. Do you know what it is? Have any clue? Any idea at all? You will see, Mr. Strawman I am pitching my ideas to. You will see exactly like Rexy is going to see this week on Showdown. Because at the end of the day, this one portion, is the single most important aspect of the mental game. It is a part that I forgot. It is a part that I let him beat me at. It’s why he was able to get in the Rex Effect on me. But not this time. Because this time, I am the one who holds the advantage. If you haven’t figured out why after this week, stay tuned. This isn’t exactly a card that I want to play. Not yet anyway. If it’s played, then it’s gone.
