Scorch

Whenever we work towards a major goal, after we achieve it we find ourselves vulnerable to a let down. When you put everything you have into reaching one objective, to have to turn around right after and reach another one, it is an adjustment that many people are just not prepared to make. Because of this, they stumble and all the momentum they had gained from reaching that goal is lost. Not everyone has this problem, some people are still not satisfied even after achieving the greatest of goals, these people keep on striving to do better, to be better, and it shows in their accomplishments.
A large white door with a silver handle fills the screen. The handle lowers downwards and the door swings open. From the room on the other side emerges Scorch, clad in his black Reeboks, some black jeans, and a red Chris Duhon Chicago Bulls jersey. Scorch looks to be somewhat upset with something. He turns his head back towards the door as if he wants to redo his entrance, but he turns back, now looking more determined than angry, though the irritation is still evident in his face and when he begins to speak the feeling of annoyance is apparent in his voice.
This past Tuesday, I went out to the ring and for the first time in my short WPW career, I was in a one on one match that served as the main event of Turmoil. Yes, I had been in the main event before, but not in singles competition. My opponent was a former PCW Champion, Mike Adams. I went out there, I stepped through those ropes with a chance to prove myself. I had a chance to show that I belonged. The bell rang and we gave each other our best that night, he had me looked in his Straight Jacket submission finisher. The match, it was all over, I was going to prove him right. I was going to show the world that I did not belong, but I did not give in. I did not pass out, I saw my chance. I saw that rope, my opportunity, and I reached out and I grabbed it. When the bell rang again to signify the end of the match, it was my hand being raised in victory.
It was probably the biggest win of my WPW career thus far. There were titles on the line, no promises of a future title shot hung in the balance. If I had come up short, my contract was not going to be terminated. I was not going to be forced to do something degrading, like wearing some humiliating outfit or being somebody’s servant. I was not fighting for my company against another organization. No, there was nothing on the line, except vindication. If he had one, he could have claimed that he was right all along to do what he did to me and plenty of other wrestlers in PCW. Many people would have reluctantly agreed with him, because he I had my shot and I did not get it done. So I went out to that ring with everything to gain, unwilling to lose.
Now this week I find myself once again scheduled for a one on one match, with nothing appearing to be at stake. This week, I find myself set to go up against the Rockstar Johnny Saxton on WPW Live. We are not even the main event. Now, Johnny you probably think this is your perfect opportunity to score the biggest win of your career. Hey, you get me coming off a main event victory, I am primed for a let down, right? I must be feeling down about the apparent demotion to Live, while Mike is once again in the Main Event of Turmoil.
I know you saw my match with Mike, and you heard what Max said about me not belonging. I know you have heard the talk since the show, people making it seem like the match was not worthy of being the main event. I must be feeling pretty down right about now, right Rockstar? Not in the slightest, see I went out to the ring last Tuesday with one thing in mind, to win. I will come in to the ring this Sunday with the same goal, the same thought, win. This is not your time to shine Johnny. Do not think you can catch me underestimating you either, as far as I am concerned, anybody who steps in the ring with me belongs, and I will treat you accordingly. At the end of our match, it will be my hand once again being raised in victory.
I always knew there would come a time when I made it back to the main event scene, and when I got there, I had no intention of leaving. This past Tuesday was the first step in the process. There is no turning back no, and a loss to you Johnny, well that would be a step in the wrong direction and I cannot afford that. Bring your best Johnny, and just like Mike, you will learn that is still not enough.
