When you fall off that horse, you have to get back on again.

January 23rd, 2012.
The screen opens to a...blank screen. The only thing we hear is music, clearly, the radio is on. In Detroit. At 8:15 in the morning.

Mojo: That was Adelle, and welcome back to Mojo In The Morning here on channel 955 in Detroit. And we have a pretty special guest in the studio today, everybody say hi to WCF superstar and tag team champion Jeff Purse!
Jeff: Thank you Mojo, Shannon, Spike. I appreciate it. Glad to be here, love Detroit.
Spike: So you were in town for the Auto show right?
Jeff: Yeah, I came in for the Auto show, not so much that I am a huge fan of cars, but car people generally are huge fans of wrestling. And I listen to you guys all the time on IheartRadio so I said to Kari, "we can't leave Detroit without stopping in on Mojo in the Morning".
Shannon: Thats great. My fiancee Andrew is a big fan.
Mojo: Yeah so are me and my boys, we watched last night. Tough break man.
Spike: Yeah, I am not a big wrestling fan, but Mojo was saying you lost to a guy you have to face soon?
Jeff: Well Spike, that's exactly it. I lost to a guy, um, Johnny Reb, and on Sunday, my partner and I, Night Rider, have to face him and his partner for these here titles.
Shannon: That's got to be kinda disheartening. I mean I know Andrew still thinks you guys are going to win, but if he has already beat you...
Jeff: Well see that's the misconception Shannon. A lot of people think that because I lost to Reb, I can't beat Reb. But that has come up before. I have beaten people I have lost to and vice versa. Its not so much about the fight as it is about the drive, you know? Sure, Reb beat me yesterday, but I really, I wasn't in it you know? My mind was elsewhere. To win a match, especially against a guy like Johnny Reb, you really, really have be focused, and understand what you are up against. I lost that focus yesterday.
Spike: So how do you know you won't lose that focus next week?
Jeff: Well that is a good question Spike, I wish I could explain it but I don't think I can. I'll try though. See, yesterday I had other things on my mind. Let me explain the day I had. I had to arrive in Pennsylvania early in the morning. I had to eat. I had to work out. And if you know me, working out isn't an easy task for me to do. I can't go to a gym to do it, too messy. I travel with work out equipment, very expensive, very stressful to coordinate. I had to visit the doc, make sure everything was good to go, and on top of that my mother called me crying asking me not to wrestle anymore. Then when I got to the...you know this is just me making excuses. The fact is is that Johnny Reb bugged me last week when he said he didn't care about winning or getting the tag titles. He made it seem as though even if he lost, it didn't matter because he didn't care. If I lost, well, hell, he wasn't even trying. So I thought to myself, alright Reb, lets play this game. You don't try, I won't either. And basically, I was better at him then not trying.
Shannon: So, what makes things different on Sunday?
Jeff: Because on Sunday, its not just about me and Johnny Reb, Shannon. Its about Night Rider. Its about Doc Henry. Its about the tens of thousands of people who will be in that arena watching. The millions of people around the globe who will be watching. Its about the tag team titles. And when that much is at stake, when that much is on the line, I don't care what anyone says, I don't pussyfoot around. I take things seriously. I come one hundred and ten percent, always.
Mojo: Good to know, Jeff. We have some callers who have some questions on the phone, hello Sarah?
Sarah: Yeah, Jeff, I want to know what you have planned for Reb and Henry on Sunday. You're stuff is always good.
Mojo: It is, and you know its also funny, a lot of guys stick to the serious I'm going to win but not you man.
Jeff: First of all, Sarah, I have something up my sleeve. You will have to keep watching to see it, but lets just say I am doing a lot of traveling this week. And Mojo, the reason I like to keep it light is because, well, that's who I am. I am a guy who likes to joke around, and that reflects in my promos. I have never been a down to brass tacks "I'm going to beat you up grr" type of guy, so I wouldn't want to show that in my promos.
Spike: We have a text here it says 'Jeff, are you really OCD or is that just a gimmick for television? I have to say I can vouch for him, when he came in the studio today, he wiped down his headphones, the first time I have ever seen that done.
Jeff: Hah. Yeah, I really do have OCD. I was ashamed of it for a while, but hell, now that the cat is out of the bag, I am trying more and more to accept it.
Mojo: Good. That's all the time we have with Jeff, but before you go could you give us a tag line or something, a "Hey this is Jeff Purse waking up with Mojo In The Morning'?
Jeff: Sure, I got something for you. "Hey everyone this is WCF's Jeff Purse waking up with The Future of morning shows, Mojo In The Morning. Peace!" How was that?
Mojo: Good, that was good. Loved the peace.
The sound of them laughing drowns away as though the color from a television set would fade to black at the end of Jeff's segments.

January 25th, 2012.
The scene opens up to Jeff standing in the middle of a small town. He has on blue jeans, a little tighter then normal, and brown cowboy boots. He wears a white tee shirt with the words "The Future" written in green jagged, lightning bolt letters, but over it he has on a red flannel button up shirt, sleeves rolled up. He has on his trademark Aviator sunglasses, but a cowboy hat sits atop his head instead of the Monster hat. He is chewing on a piece of wheat, and addresses the camera.
Jeff: In my short time in the WCF I have learned a few things. One thing is to never, ever, under any circumstance, take Seth Lerch's booze from him. Another is that CD will be at this company until the day he dies. Another thing I learned, don't underestimate anyone. Of course, I knew this before getting here, but Johnny Reb knocked that sense back into my head just a few days ago at Slam. And I thank him for that. He probably will regret it come Sunday, come Payback, but for now, it is what it is. Since I began wrestling I have learned that to beat someone, you have to truly understand who they are. Johnny Reb said, before our match, that he thought I only thought of him as a redneck, inbred, yadda yadda. So I figured what better way to get to know Johnny Reb, then to visit where he grew up. Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Sweet Water, Alabama. I have a glass of water from this place right here. Lets see...Drinks some water, then spits it out That is some of the most nasty water I have ever drank, blah.
Sweet Home Alabama plays in the background through the rest of the shots. The volume getting lower as Jeff talks. The next few shots show Jeff on a montage through Sweet Water. He is high fiving the school mascot, the bulldog. Biking through the streets with some of the children. Drinking at the local bars. The montage stops on a pool table. Jeff is racking the balls. He is putting them in order by number...and color.
Jeff: So you went to school with Johnny Reb, right Frank?
Frank: uh, yeah, we went to school together.
Jeff: And what was he like in school, Frank?
Frank: Um, I don't really know, we really didn't hang out or anything, I just knew him. We are all pretty sure he will beat you though.
Jeff: Can't wait to prove you wrong Frank.
More shots of Jeff's montage show through, Jeff talking to some locals. Jeff bowling. Jeff throwing the football around with some high school students. Trying to ride a horse but not being able to, to dirty. Jeff washing his hands. Its stops on Jeff in an office, the music dies. Jeff is sitting across from a middle aged man, with a name tag "Mayor Kyle". Jeff addresses the camera.
Jeff: This is Mayor Don Kyle of Sweet Water, Alabama, isn't that right Mayor Kyle.
Don: Yes, that is correct. I am the Mayor of this beautiful town.
Jeff: The Sweet Water Bulldogs are 10-4 this season so far Mayor Kyle, and that is partly because of you, no?
Don: Haha, I don't know about that, Jeff, they are a good bunch of kids.
Jeff: Lets get down to it, Don, with the upbringing Johnny Reb had here in Sweet Water, can he beat me and my upbringing in Venice Beach, California?
Don: Hah. You know, Mr. Reb is a great performer, even better wrestler. I will tell you want, Sweet Water vs Venice Beach, the small town with charm wins every time Mr. Purse.
Jeff: I disagree, well thanks for answering that question Mayor Don, I know you have to say that to save face. Its ok, I know you expect me to win. Thanks.
The scene fades with the two shaking hands.
==============================================
January 27th, 2012
Jeff is sitting at a round table with two men. One of them has a name tag that says Kenny Smith, City Manager. The other is a regular guy with a name tag that says, quite literally, regular guy. Jeff addresses the camera, wearing something quite different then last time. he has on a suite. Black tie, black coat, white shirt, but still white sneakers.
Jeff: Folks, we are here in Griffin Georgia for a round table debate. Who is more handsome, therefore will win the match at Payback, Jeff Purse, or Doc Henry. I have the City Manager of the city Doc grew up in, Kenny Smith. And a guy Doc went to high school with, his name is Barry. Gentlemen, I think Jeff Purse is more handsome, and therefore will win, what say you, City Manager Kenny Smith?
Kenny: Ha, you know Jeff, I don't really watch wrestling. But you say Doc is from these here parts, I would have to say Doc would win. I don't quite know what he looks like, and you are a pretty handsome man, but if Doc is from Griffin, then he is more handsome, I am basing that on city pride that everyone here in Griffin is handsome, just like Doc Herny. Er...Henry.
Barry: haha. Mr. Smith that shows that you know nothing about your town. haha. Doc is an ugly son of a bitch. Man. He is a good fighter though. I will tell you want, Jeff. Based on skill, it would be close between the two of you. He has power but boy can this boy move. He does this trick of the top Mr. Smith, a 720 DDT they call it. Its impressive. Looks though Purse, you have Doc beat. Doc has been uglier then horses behind ever since High School I tell you what, whoooooo doggy.
Jeff: Well there you go folks, I am better looking, so I will win. Actually, Doc, I would like to address you in more detail right now. Obviously, I am not basing my offense around you that I am better looking. I am basing it around two things, Doc. The fact, is, like this...s...smart man said, I am faster then you. I can move and you can't Doc. You are getting old if anyone is, and if you try to out power me, I have Night Rider there to bring the power for me. You have been quite Doc, since I have gotten to the WCF, so I am not sure what you are about. You are very stoic, and creepy. You fit into the persona of an old western cowboy to a tee. However, Doc, its not the age of John Wayne westerns and "howdy pardners." Its the age of speed and agility. An age when "Do you feel lucky, do you, punk" has turned into Ashton Kutcher "punking" celebrities. I don't agree with most of it, Doc, but its true. Your kind, Doc, is outdated and boring. My kind, its new, fun, fast, and exciting. And to top it all over, I have have the skill to pin you in the middle of the ring. Ha, who knew? I hope you do show up, Doc, because I know there is fear you wont. I hope you do, though, so I can make you wish, Doc, that you didn't show up. That's a promise. Welcome to The Future, Doc.
The scene fades to Jeff looking at the camera, the other two men looking uncomfortable.
==============================================
January 29th, 2012, Present Day.
The scene opens to Jeff standing in the center of the ring for Payback. He has his ring attire on, and his belt strapped to his waist. There are stagehands and crew making some last minute adjustments to the ring, fixing any problems. Jeff looks around the arena, he is taking everything in. He stands there, and closes his eyes. He balls his fists. Taking everything in, breathing slowly, its as though this is a different Jeff. A Jeff WCF has yet to see...serious. He opens his eyes slowly, and addresses the camera.
Jeff: It would seem that the WCF has an epidemic. Everyone who has been in this federation for over a year just collectively shit their pants when Night Rider, Nathan Von Liebert, Myself and the rest of these, as we have been named, "newbies" arrived in the WCF. It would seem it made them all nervous that there was actually some new competition coming in. They were used to fighting the same people, week after week, in the same matches, week after week. And then us "newbies" came, and Seth Lerch latched on. He decided that this was the age, the era of the new WCF, giving me and my fellow "newbies" a virus. A virus of having the support of your boss. I am not going to sit here and say I like, or even agree with Seth Lerch. Because I don't.
I see and experience the history the WCF has to offer every day. Just standing in this ring, knowing all the greats who have fought at Payback before, who have defended these WCF Tag Team Titles before. Roy Speed and Mr. FPV, for example. Bishop and Priest. Logan and Blades. Torture and Creeping Death...all the way to The New Confederacy Johnny Reb and Doc Henry.
And I respect that history. I respect the history of the titles, I respect the history of this place. I want to add to that. I want to make new history. I want to be the best DAMN IT! So far, because of becoming part of this new epidemic, it would seem those with established careers here forgot what it was to start at the bottom. To be new. They forgot that there will always be a younger class, jumping at their heels, trying to do great things just as they did. Trying to be the best.
Johnny Reb you and Doc Henry are one of the best tag team champions...ever. Not only did you guys hold the belts here and there, not only did you guys dominate the tag division, but you guys brought interesting story's to the table. You did everything you should have as tag champions. You layed the path for guys like Night Rider and myself.
And yet you disgust me. You don't care anymore about the titles? The titles that you helped to define in this company, and you could care less? You really think, Johnny Reb, that you are too good for the tag team titles? That's why, Johnny Reb, you are going to lose tonight.
But it sucks, Johnny, it really does. That you can't even give Night Rider and myself the satisfaction of knowing that we beat the best tag team champions tonight. Why? Because its just like last week, Reb, you made a cop out. "I rely d'nt 'c'ar H'nk iffn I w'n or iffn I lo'e." That's shitty Reb. That's horrible. That's not fair. Now, again, if you lose, chalk it up to the fact that Mr. Ego found himself too good for the titles, and didn't want to win. If you do win, what does that say about Night Rider and myself. And the funny thing is, Reb, I know deep down you would like to have this gold again. You are going to come down to that ring and try your damnedest to put Night Rider and I down on the mat. And news for you, buddy, you won't. You never will. Period. End of discussion. Once you get to big for your britches, Reb, you start to suck. And you have just made that leap.
Tonight the New Confederacy parts its ways for good. Tonight, Doc Henry and Johnny Reb realize that there is no way they can be any better in the tag division, losing to a team, as Night Rider said, that is similar to them. They are going to recognize that Rider and I are the better versions of them. Faster, stronger, more like able. Johnny Reb, you are going to go on, probably have one more year here. It will be good for you Johnny, you might even have another world title shot. Maybe. Doc Henry, this is going to hit you hard. You are going to realize that you are nothing, NOTHING without Johnny Reb. You will start drinking, even more heavily. Showing up to work drunk, Seth will be forced to either pull you from your matches, or make you go out to the ring where you will stumble around, make a fool of yourself, and either get pinned or walk out of the ring like you did last week against Night. And this is just a fact, New Confederacy. You can believe it or not. But one thing is for sure, boys, don't underestimate us, because we are going to defend those titles tonight, its written in stone. Johnny Reb, Doc Henry, welcome to The Future.
Oh and Reb, I didn't just call you a redneck, inbred, an alcoholic...I also called you sterile. Get it right next time.
The scene fades with Jeff admiring the arena.

And yet you disgust me. You don't care anymore about the titles? The titles that you helped to define in this company, and you could care less? You really think, Johnny Reb, that you are too good for the tag team titles? That's why, Johnny Reb, you are going to lose tonight.
But it sucks, Johnny, it really does. That you can't even give Night Rider and myself the satisfaction of knowing that we beat the best tag team champions tonight. Why? Because its just like last week, Reb, you made a cop out. "I rely d'nt 'c'ar H'nk iffn I w'n or iffn I lo'e." That's shitty Reb. That's horrible. That's not fair. Now, again, if you lose, chalk it up to the fact that Mr. Ego found himself too good for the titles, and didn't want to win. If you do win, what does that say about Night Rider and myself. And the funny thing is, Reb, I know deep down you would like to have this gold again. You are going to come down to that ring and try your damnedest to put Night Rider and I down on the mat. And news for you, buddy, you won't. You never will. Period. End of discussion. Once you get to big for your britches, Reb, you start to suck. And you have just made that leap.
Tonight the New Confederacy parts its ways for good. Tonight, Doc Henry and Johnny Reb realize that there is no way they can be any better in the tag division, losing to a team, as Night Rider said, that is similar to them. They are going to recognize that Rider and I are the better versions of them. Faster, stronger, more like able. Johnny Reb, you are going to go on, probably have one more year here. It will be good for you Johnny, you might even have another world title shot. Maybe. Doc Henry, this is going to hit you hard. You are going to realize that you are nothing, NOTHING without Johnny Reb. You will start drinking, even more heavily. Showing up to work drunk, Seth will be forced to either pull you from your matches, or make you go out to the ring where you will stumble around, make a fool of yourself, and either get pinned or walk out of the ring like you did last week against Night. And this is just a fact, New Confederacy. You can believe it or not. But one thing is for sure, boys, don't underestimate us, because we are going to defend those titles tonight, its written in stone. Johnny Reb, Doc Henry, welcome to The Future.
Oh and Reb, I didn't just call you a redneck, inbred, an alcoholic...I also called you sterile. Get it right next time.
The scene fades with Jeff admiring the arena.
