Post by Scotty Addams on Jan 8, 2015 6:28:32 GMT

It was a cold… very cold day in the Midwest as Scotty was back in his home of Chicago with his beautiful wife, Tani Lyons. They weren’t at home, however. They decided that they would head off to the Squared Circle, a wrestling themed restaurant run by Lisa Marie Varon; formerly known as Victoria in the WWE. It was a little hole in the wall place, easy to miss if didn’t know you were looking for it but inside there were multiple televisions with wrestling airing. The restaurant went back a little ways with a bar in the back corner where a couple of guys sat. Some kids across some of the long tables, and some adults enjoying meals too, but it wasn’t too busy. At this moment it was some independent wrestling but Scotty and Tani sat at their table just enjoying a couple of their burgers and some drinks.

It was a cold 2 degrees outside, some snow on the ground but the roads cleared for the most part. This was January in the midwest so naturally the weather was going to be at its worst. So Scotty and Tani sat at the table as they waited for their friend to show up with the camera for him to film his first promo towards Frankie Cocheese. Scotty’s jacket was hung on the back of his chair and he sported his black “Platinum Three Oh Nine” shirt which is an homage to where he comes from in Central Illinois. With that was a pair of black denim jeans and some insulated steel toe boots, a backwards black baseball cap and the JDF dog tags around his neck. Tani was dressed casually as well, just a pair of jeans, a zip up hoodie and her winter coat hanging on the back of her chair and some white Nike tennis shoes. Scotty and Tani’s friend whom was in town to visit with Scotty and Tani for a couple of days had arrived with his camera handy.

He stands at the edge of the table, just back a few steps. Scotty takes a swig of his drink before turning his chair to look to the camera and with the cue from their friend, we begin.

[Scotty]: Three days ago I made my debut in the Revolutionary Division. Ya know when things over in Michigan didn’t work out I sat at home for a couple of weeks and I talked it over here with Tani if I should take some more time off because it wasn’t like I needed the wrestling business to financially support me anymore… but I still love this business and everything that it has to offer-- the good and bad-- and that’s one of the reasons I love this woman to death because she convinced me that wrestling is what I love, it’s what I know and it’s what I’m good at and that I shouldn’t hang it up quite yet because I’ve still got a whole lot ahead of me. So then it comes to me that I have to find a place to continue my craft. I have to find a place where there’s a challenge, where there’s the best talent in the entire business and where there’s an authority figure, management, that knows what the hell they’re doing so when the choice was in front of me there was only one choice to make!

Scotty paused for a moment as he took another swig of his drink with a smile. He was enjoying his day off and spending it with his wife, but he also enjoyed the decision he made and the way he chose to go about doing it. He challenged an old friend and now we’re here.

[Scotty]: The RWD was the only logical choice. So that was step one: contact Travis Rech. Now let me tell you, Travis is a smart man, he’s a businessman! So when I contacted him the deal was already done. So step two: how to make an impact. I could have gone for anybody in the company. When I said I wasn’t going to hold myself back and I was going to take that RWD Championship because I’m the best, well that narrowed it down abit. There’s my old friend, rival, and running buddy, Frank Washington. We all know the history there: Jokers Wild, Uprising, ICWA Championship yada yada yada. But Frank has his hands full with Garland and now KONSTANTINE. Then ya got KONSTANTINE but he’s going to have his hands full with Frank Washington. Then there’s Prince Assad and Maxwell Schneider. Both great opponents but they both have their hands full. So there’s one man… one man I know ALL too well-- Frankie - Cocheese.

Scotty yells out with applause as he’s watching the screen and enjoyed a spot that had just occurred. He finishes off his drink and holds a finger up to say “just a moment” as he swallows. Outside the snow was beginning to come down again. Welcome to Winter in the Midwest.

[Scotty]: So now here we are old friend. The ever-so-dominant Frankie Cocheese leading the Contest of Conquest, next in line to become the first ever RWD Heavyweight Champion. But one man needed to be able to stand across from you, Frankie. One man needed to be able to stand up and stand opposed, to be able to threaten you with competition the likes none of these other wrestlers have had the chance to encounter. BUT now that the formalities are out of the way, old friend, I’d say it’s about time we really get down to business. It’s been a good while since we’ve faced off, Frankie, hasn’t it? But what’s different about the last time is that all it ever takes is a little bit of time for me to grow, to change, to evolve… to evolve into something more, something better, something… stronger. And that is exactly what has happened.

Scotty stood from his seat and began to walk towards the back of the house, more closer to the location that the bar was at, and in front of the kitchen and the camera followed.

[Scotty]: After our last encounter I took another little trip around the world. I stepped up to take on competition the likes I’ve never faced before at that level… much like the position we’re in now, Frankie. For all of my career I’ve taken pride in knowing that I can step between those ropes against an opponent and finding myself able to adapt to them, to take what they have and dish it back ten fold because in case you have not figured it out yet, I don’t give up. I never give up. I traveled the world, and more importantly I became a World Champion; and a damn proud one at that. Then it was time for the RWD. So knowing that right now you’re the only one undefeated, you’re ahead of the rest of the guys in the back and that put you on the map that I've been looking at. That put you on my radar and I knew--I KNEW that you were the one for my return and that’s what is going to make this night a PERFECT night.

Scotty leaned against the wall after getting a budweiser from the bar and took a drink letting out an “Aaah” as if the drink was refreshing.

[Scotty]: Now don’t get me wrong, my friend, I respect you. I respect the hell out of you! You came into the business with a quarter of the time under you that most everybody else, myself included. So there’s never a moment that I can’t take anything away from you, Frankie. You’ve got the tenacity and the will to go further than most anybody will go to do what you gotta do. It’s admirable. But don’t you forget… and hell maybe you never knew but I've been there before and I’m never afraid to rise to the challenge. I welcome the challenge. But I think you’re forgetting one thing: I’m just as hungry and I want this just as much as you do. It’s been a little while since you’ve faced somebody just as hungry as you are, and that’s why this is going to be one of your biggest challenges to date, and this will be one of mine. This won’t just be some good ol’ good sportsmanship match and we both know that. I didn’t come to the RWD for sportsmanship, or just good matches. I came to win. YOU, Frankie, came to win. That’s why you chose this place, isn’t it? See, I’ve come in and I’ve put myself into a position where my back is against the wall. I’ve got myself into a tough position and I know you understand it all too well.

He paused once more and made his way back to Tani and his seat. He pulled it out and sat down getting remotely comfortable again.

[Scotty]: And so here we are, the week is just beginning and on January 18th at the Baton Rouge River Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, both of our backs will be against the wall. We’ll stand across from each other with everything to gain.. but even more to lose. You’ve got the streak, the lead in the tournament and I’ve got everybody behind me, rooting for me to beat the the streak, to dethrone the almighty “Notorious Thug” Frankie Cocheese and make my debut on an impact.. just how I like it. So I’m going to go ahead and enjoy the rest of my time here and then I’ll be in the gym. I’ll be training. Night in and night out. Day after day. There will be no rest for the wicked and when we meet on January 18th… when worlds collide only one will be able to walk out the winner and I’m letting you know right now… it won’t be Cochedder.

Scotty turns, taking another drink of his beer and returns to finishing his dinner while the camera feed fades out to an RWD logo.

"So I'm privileged am I? That's how it's gonna be? Frankie Cocheese pissed at the world and everybody in it..."

It was still cold as crap outside but still warmer than before. Scotty had his jacket zipped up and he sat on some stairs up front of a building. You could see his breath as exhaled. It was a good ten degrees or so outside, his hands were in his pockets and he wore a black beanie and his face was red. He wouldn't be outside for too long but he did enjoy the fresh air every once in a good while. Frankie had come back at Scotty but this match, this main event was going to be an event that they'd remember for ages to come. This would have match of the year written all over it.

[Scotty]: You came back hard just like I knew you would! You came back just as hard as I expected but one thing that fell short... one place that YOU fell short was that you've continued to do what only the foolish do and that is underestimating me. You've begun to underestimate me and make accusations that I don't quite think that you're in the position to make. But don't you worry! Don't you worry one single hair off of your head because ol' Scotty Addams has got it figured out! The mouth of the privileged speaks out! I mean only a man who gets to "cherry pick" his spot, his opponent is privileged, right? Only a man that can step on your toes the way I did MUST be privileged and then little Frankie Cocheese got upset because somebody new decided to call his bluff and he didn't like that. But ya know what man?

Scotty paused for a moment, letting out a breath.. kind of like a sigh if you will.

[Scotty]: Get over it.

A little snicker with a smirk came about as he got up and headed through the door to go inside.

[Scotty]: You're right about one thing, Frankie, and it's one thing that I never hid from anybody. The moment, the very MOMENT in time, last Monday on the special edition of Combat I did choose you. I chose you and I chose you for a number of reasons and I thought I laid it all out on the table the first time around but I guess things went a little bit over your head so lets break it down for you since you think I'm here skipping lines. Skipping lines? That gets me. I mean, am I skipping lines? Nah, I’m not skipping anything. I’m not in the championship match, am I? It just sounds like maybe you’re starting to get a little paranoid because you know that everything I said is true. You know that I’m the best competition you’ve got right now and that there’s a damn good chance that when we’re in that ring I’m going to beat you. There's no lucrative contract here, Cocheese. There's no "SWEET deal." And I certainly didn't try and start any petition to bring the Jokers back together. Our job as a team, for now, is done. I don’t care about some power rankings and I didn’t ask for it, nor did I swindle my way into it or the Main Event. But hey! Look at you, Frankie, you're right there with me! The only thing that I've got is my past in the sport that's had me busting my ass night in and night out for the past 10 years. I met my wife that shares the same love and passion for this sport as I do and has had her share of kicking some ass; but every single thing that I have, I've earned it. I've earned my right to be able to go to my favorite wrestling themed restaurant on my day off and enjoy a day out with my wife. I've earned the home that I live in and I'm sorry that everything I have, that I earned, pisses you off. But hell since we're on the subject, let's take a little trip down memory lane.

Scotty paused for a moment as he got up from his seat and began to walk around the building. He tossed his jacket off to the side and the speed of his voice began to increase as he walked in a pacing fashion. The speed and tone of his voice was him speaking as if he was putting some pieces of a puzzle together, like he was figuring something out.

[Scotty]: Memory lane is always such a great place! Don't you? See, I got my start fresh out of the Emerald Academy in a little place in Manhattan, New York run by a guy you could call a bit of an Evil Genius in just a little athletic center. Young punk, thought I knew everything of everything in this business, fought some of the toughest sons of bitches you could think of. Oh sure I got my ass handed to me a couple of times but I grew, I evolved, I learned. I learned a lot from them and when I moved on I had my share of independent companies off and on, and if memory serves me correctly it was the one of those that all four of us came together... wasn't it Frankie? BUT that's not all! See my time in the independents allowed me to get that big break. A big time company hired me, Frankie, and I spent six years of my time there working my way through the ranks, becoming the first man to be the triple crown... to win the World Heavyweight Championship in the big one. I couldn't have been happier but with it having a break I had a decision to make and I decided to take it easy for a bit and then we fast forward to now. Being a trainer at the Emerald Academy, helping new wrestlers get their break and then I got that call to come here and you know the rest of it from there.

Scotty slowed down from his pace and took a seat with a bottle of water.

[Scotty]: Maybe you've got a right to be pissed off, but if you wanted to come find me, Frankie, all you've gotta do is say the word. You don't need to go trolling the streets of Chicago, you just gotta say the word old friend! OH!

Scotty realized he said the "F" word that Frankie didn't like so much.

[Scotty]: I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't like that word too much because of what happened on Combat. But let me ask you this, Frankie-- when you come looking for me, what are you going to do? What are you going to do if you come find me? Beat my ass? I’ve fought bigger, badder and tougher.I respect you for what you’ve done in the short time that you’ve done it, and like I said before, I can’t take that away from you but what are you going to do next Frankie? Stomp your feet, throw a fit and yell “MINE MINE MINE?!” All because I wanted to challenge you because I thought you were the best this company had to offer, because I thought you needed the challenge to push you to that extra limit. All because I chose to make an impact, to think outside the box and do things nobody else in this company has done. And for what? Because somebody decided to step up to the plate and do what nobody else in this company has done or has been able to do: challenge you, and I mean REALLY challenge you, and give you the biggest run for your money that you've had since you had to deal with them swindlers down in Tennessee.

Scotty opened his bottle of water taking a drink while he sat on the bench, seeing now that we've been inside of a local gym.

[Scotty]: But I can tell you is that if I wanted to listen to somebody pissed off and angry at the world then I’d just call up Wolf Parker and do another round with him. I don’t need to sit inside of a freezing car in the middle of some random city that lord only knows where you’re at just to get my point across when I can do it in the middle of the ring. You’re upset because you think I’m trying to take something away from you, away from a former teammate but let me fill you in. Who do you think I won my World Championship from? I had three opponents, my old tag team partner, my rival and one of them was a man I consider to be one of my best friends, Drew Stevenson. That’s right, Frankie. Drew wanted it but I wanted it more and in the end I won. Do you want to know who I was going through battle after battle with, who became the number one contender for my belt? Another man I consider to be one of my best friends, Frank Washington. I can see it in your eyes, Frankie, that it’s eating you up that you know every single word up to this point I’ve said is true. So you’re mad I didn’t get to swing by your place over in DC but what about me, Frankie? Since you want to play it that way why didn’t you ever come by my place in Chicago? When we’re in the ring, friendship doesn’t matter. When we’re on opposite sides of the fence with something like the championship hanging in the balance, the friendship doesn’t matter because we all know when the bell rings, friendship won’t win but the will TO WIN - WILL win.

Scotty just shook his head.

[Scotty]: This isn’t because I hate you, Frankie. It’s because I want to win the RWD Championship-- it’s because to prove that you’re the best you’ve got to step up and defeat the best and right now? You’re the best so I guess that means I’ve got to beat you. I’ve got to end the streak, I’ve got to beat you square in the middle of the ring. No jealous ex girlfriend act, no bullshit and no excuses. Just you and me, and me beating YOU in the middle of the ring because I’m the best, and I aim to prove it to ya so that you’ll finally get it. In the end I did choose that moment, that specific moment and I did choose you but it's not wrong. It's only wrong because you're not sure how to handle it. Just over a week left, old friend. I'm not pissed at the World and I'm not pissed at you.. I'm just here to win.

With a nod, Scotty signs off and we fade.

"Guess things are starting to go a little over your head."

Opening on Scotty sitting in a wooden chair, hunched over with his hands folded together. But it was like that for just a moment as he sat up in the chair and crossed his legs with his right over his left and crosses his arms. Heading towards this match, Scotty knew that this match was going to be tough. He and Frankie went back and the history was out there, nothing hidden, nothing being held back but it was time for Scotty's final promo going into the show on this upcoming Sunday. There was no love lost between these two former teammates and those watching would see it once they locked horns.

[Scotty]: When I talked to Rech, the deal was done. The deal of me getting back into the ring. The deal of me challenging the best of the best that the entire business has to offer. We could be kicking off the show for all I care, Cocheese, but at the end of the day when all is said and done, I'll be the one with my arm raised. Now before you fly off the handle and start losing your shit again and trying to stir up crap that ain't there let's sit back and really look at this. Let's really look at why you're pissed off. You're pissed off because you grew up and you lived in a place that you didn't like; I get it, we all get it. But when things don't go your way, you fix it. When you don't like the place you're living in, you get out. You find a way to improve your situation but you still haven't done that. Instead you're pissed off at the world, and pissed off at everybody else because you let your situation be the way that it is. You might not say it, but you're looking for a "whoa is me" and maybe ten years ago it would have worked but not anymore. We all know politicians are corrupt and America is being run by a bunch of idiots but that's no excuse. Everybody is affected by them and their policies but life goes on. Everybody has their own reasons to be mad at something but you're just full of hot air and on Sunday it's time we let it out. It's time that we deflate you and bring ya right back down to Earth.

He paused as he looked around, collecting his thoughts.

[Scotty]: You can go wherever you want to in this world and talk to whomever it is that you want to talk to to try and get yourself ahead, to try and get into my head, but all it's doing is showing how desperate you are. Keep going to Drew's house, it's fine! I'm sure I'll run into ya there eventually. But Drew is a man of his own honest opinion and whatever he wants to say he can say and it's no skin off my back. He and I have been up and down the road together so ya know what? I'm sure he's heard me say a few things a few times but all you're showing me and everybody else how desperate you are to avoid your own realization that on Sunday you're not going to beat me. No matter how hard you try, Frankie, no matter what you do I'll be a step ahead. Do you really think you're gonna hurt my feelings by saying Drew beat me? What is that going to do? Drew Stevenson is one of the single best athletes in the world and has made some of the single best tap out in the middle of the ring, no questions asked. So you think there's shame in another man losing to one of the best, except when it's you, right? That's the kind of crap that you've had to say. But I guess it's to be expected, right?. After all you're the all mighty FRANKIE COCHEESE!

Scotty keeps a serious look on his face. He was ready for this match, he was ready for the victory.This match was going to be nothing shy of intense and Rech knew it. Scotty knew it and so did Frankie.

[Scotty]: THIS Frankie, is why we're the main event. The history, the once mighty alliance that in this business now lies dormant, two guys that in the ring know what each other can bring and then some. The "thug," and I'll use that term loosely, that'll go to any lengths to win, the loathed yet undefeated and the guy with the "never say die" attitude, the one that won't stay down and won't give up, the one that just keeps coming harder, faster, and stronger each time you think you've got him beat. That's what this is, Frankie, and you know it. It's two of the best of the best this wrestling business has to offer standing face to face, toe to toe, FIST TO FIST! The night the undefeated becomes defeated. So what makes me so different than everybody else, right? That's the one thing that's in the back of your head, the one thing on the tip of your tongue that's bugging you. How can I dare claim that I can challenge you harder than anybody else but I can tell you exactly how. I'm not oblivious to the RWD, as much as you might think it. I've seen everybody, I've seen every match, every event, the men to come and the men to go. I've seen the rise and I've seen the fall and I saw where the rest of them failed and you succeeded. They all thought they knew what they were up against. They all thought they could beat you but you wanted it more. Each and every time! But I know what I'm up against. I know WHO I'm up against.

Scotty stood from the chair and began to walk closer to the camera, his posture stern, saying he means business. This was one of the biggest matches in his career in a while and it had high stakes going to the future. Both men needed it, Scotty wanted it.

[Scotty]: You ran them all down, one by one but with each victim that fell, Cocheese, I saw where they went wrong. I saw their mistakes and the openings that allowed you to take hold and bring it home. For almost all of them it's never been about this sport, the wrestling, instead it's been about the fame. For you and them with the small exception of guys like Hayden Phoenix that you can pretend to be in favor of him all you want but we all know it's just a facade. The small percentage of guys like Fallon King , John Carter and Frank Washington-- they're the ones that are in this for the business, for the love of wrestling, the ones who GET IT but not you. For you I see that it's all about the fame in the end, not wrestling because you love wrestling. And that is why I will always from this moment on, triumph. It's why you'll fall because eventually those in it just for the fame will fade away when somebody else shows up who can do what they do better but the vicious cycle will always continue for those in it just for the fame. I owe everything to this business and I will beat you, Cocheese. RWD and me, it's not about the fame or the fortune. It's about proving each and every single night that I compete in the ring that I am the BEST! I've been in hostile environments before, I've been in situations than seemed near impossible for me to walk out the winner but I did it. I've had my critics everywhere I've been but for the ones that have stood behind me the whole way, for the ones that watched me grow and evolve in this business, I fight for them and they give me all that I need to keep going. They give me all I need to keep getting up!

The intensity from Scotty grew. The passion that moved him forward through everything, the good and the bad, was visible now.

[Scotty]: Like I said before, Cocheese, the backs are against the wall. One to win, one to lose and huge future implications are on the line. Doubt my words to be true or believe them, you've obviously made your choice but you just remember that on Sunday you're going to eat your words. You'll see that not everything is as simple as it seems. I know this match will be tough. I know you're going to bring everything you've got and so will I. Not because we want to, but because we'll have to. Over the past few months I learned a lot from the others mistakes. I learned a lot from the others that fell before this match. I respect your tenacity to get the job done. I respect what you've done in the ring as an athlete but I don't respect your choices and I certainly don't care for your attitude but one thing is for sure when it comes to Sunday night. There's no line jumping, no personal vendetta; just the will to make sure that when I step in the ring I'm the best. When one of us falls-- you will be the fallen, Cocheese. You will be the fallen, I will be the victor. See ya soon.

End.
