The scene opens with Rich sitting in his living room no lights on hands between his knees and a package torn open on one corner. Sitting on the package is a DVD. You can tell that maybe he watched it already. You can tell that there is something he is cycling through his head a few statements he is going over. The camera man then walks around the front of him as he begins to speak.
X: Well Striker I was hoping you were going to make it easy on my self. I was hoping you wouldn’t talk. I know that in the business we are in that’s impossible. As I was watching your segment it was the truth. Out of all the opponents I have faced here like you said it will be difficult. I don’t think I have ever faced someone with your determination, your heart, and confidence. Fighting to get your daughter back is well, what’s the word I’m looking for ah yes instinctive. See you are fighting to get your daughter back and I on the other hand have a choice to make. I have to decide whether I go through with this match. If you lose the match you just not lose your title but your family the foundation of your whole being. What is there to live for if you have no family no stability? Even the badest of the bad have families. Cairo has your daughter huh. I’m standing in your way. This is life. This is our punishment for being on this earth. Choices is what made people who we are. Striker I bet its killing you inside right now not knowing what is happening with your loved one, your child. How could one man be so evil and I’m not helping the cause. I feel like an asshole so selfish in my own desire to be WCF champ and all this talk for me you really don’t give a shit because your daughter is being held captive. This is type of shit we see on TV or in the movies and it is happening right before our eyes. I can feel your pain the hunger of getting to explosion for the opportunity to see your daughter. How can I stand in your way when I too have a child! How could I put my self in your shoes?
X reaches down and grabs the bottle of jack takes a few swigs and sets it down screwing on the cap. He takes a cigar from the box on the table in front of him and lights it up. He takes a few drags and puts it in his ashtray on the same table. He then reaches over and grabs a picture from the table in a silver frame. He stares at it for a while and sets it back down. He then begins to speak.
X: It’s a tough world we live in. If I don’t do this match then I don’t get paid. If I don’t get paid my family doesn’t eat. This match this situation is the toughest situation a man has to go through. Do I let one man fail or do I go with my heart and my soul. The decision will be on Sunday. You will know if you look in my eyes and you see what you need to. If I win the match and you don’t get your daughter but I get what I want it will be a dark victory for me. But on the other hand I get what any man in this company wants. I also did what no one has done beat you. You have been winning these matches with pure heart and tenacity. What happens when that leaves your body? What happens when you are so over whelmed with everything that you can’t go any further. What happens when you lose? We could find out this Sunday. You whole existence could be over! You could possibly never see your daughter again. But I also noticed you have two men that are with you in your quest to get your daughter back. Even the WCF Champ needs a little help ever now and then. This is huge I to would ask the assistance of my fellow wrestlers. What I want you to know if I have to go through them also I will, you can bet that I will be ready for anything. This is the last match in the Championship series. Could this be the darkest day in Strikers life and brightest one for someone else? I don’t think I could live with my self if I beat you on Sunday. It’s not the way I want to do this. I believed I received this match as punishment. Punishment for not helping Seth a few weeks ago when he asked for the services of the former tag team champions Team Xtreme. Knowing this decision was going to be the toughest decision of someone’s life! Go for the gold or save a mans life? As simple as that right? Wrong again! This is the question that makes or breaks a man. If someone starts to fall off a cliff and you grab them and are holding them by the arm and they are dangling off a cliff and then right next to them is a sack of money hanging on a branch that is ready to break but far enough out of the man that is dangling reach and you have the choice either let the man drop or grab the money. Now anybody would say save the man, but would temptation come over you? Some people will say save the man but how many would let the man drop and take the money? Knowing that this money could help you out for the rest of your life! Do I help you out triker or do I go for the gold. I know you never asked me for help but.
X gets up and paces for a few minuets bobbing back and forth holding his head, Hearing voices say kick his ass and another voice saying just lie down and get out of the match. What is X going to do? The greatest challenge of his career is only a few days away. He takes a few puffs off his cigar and he begins to speak.
X: See what I’m faced with Striker we both don’t have an easy match this Sunday. If I let this opportunity go right out the window who knows this could be the last chance I get. But If I help you out I will have to have faith that someday I will get another shot at the gold. If I just work hard at what I’m doing I have to have faith that I get there once more. Striker the pursuit of happiness sometimes could be the darkest path a man walks down. Well they are right on that one. It’s a cold dark day for me right now. I am not trying to say that I am having a worse time than you, but I am just a couple steps behind you. Striker see you around my friend.
X tells the camera man to shut the light off. The only light you see is the amber of the tip of the cigar light up as X takes a drag every few seconds. The camera then fades out.
