Odin Balfore
vs
FPV
* Odin Balfore is a man of few, if any regrets. Screwing up takes on a whole new meaning in his life but its something that he takes with a grain of salt. “ Perfection” was a gimmick long, long ago but has long since buried. Today on a drizzly, raw afternoon. The big Nordic tank of a man is walking through a grave yard with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. *
Odin: This isn’t about the past anymore; how can it? Last week I went up against Buzzsaw Bundy, a man whose goal it is to be the next great big man of our industry but I shown him that he has much to learn. Now, this week here I am with petals that smell o’ so sweet for vastly different reasons. As most men know, there’s a very fine parallel between themselves. I’m willing to bet that most would see me as a lumbering goon or washed up old loon an to some extent they’re right but there will always be the man that I am deep down- a man that I had never lost but others seem to have.
* Odin comes upon an grave whose epitaph has been worn an eroded by time. *
Odin: Often times man will look back on who they are with regret then try and take steps necessary to correct that which can’t be undone. FPV takes the cake on this one. A former jobber that’s trying to take on the world an become greater then what he was. Unfortunately FPV, that can never happen. It can never happen because that’s what you want so desperately to transpire. FPV, if your so concentrated on fixing your past, your future won’t do much more but falter even greater then your respective past. I’ll give credit where its due, you go out there and you work your ass off but hard work and cheep pops arnt always enough to get to the top of the wrestling business- not that you know what the top even looks like.
There’s no shame though in being a jobber in small time promotions, not every one is cut out for this industry or even to achieve greatness in it an its admirable that your trying to do something about it. As admirable as it may be, its not commendable- its sickening. I - I can’t even bring myself to really give you the credit you deserve because you’re caught in a quagmire of catch twenty-two’s. You have good work ethic but you’re doing it for veiled reasons that would only sullen that career you could potentially have.
I guess you could say that’s the story that you’ve been telling all the way up to this current point in time. I would think that there’s a few that would compare us- you trying to avenge your small time an rather unremarkable past against my returning to the ring in light of hardship. The difference is, I’ve been to the dance. I’ve been to the dance, headlined, sang the songs- drank the punch and fucked the home coming queen underneath the bleachers. I’ve done things that not many have but I’m not going to rub them in your face because I’ve come back not to bolster my past but to etch out the future that I know I still have left in me. My career is very far from being over but you.. Maybe you know that your’s is a time that draws ever closer.
The question I have for you FPV in our match tonight is if you think you can rise up to this occasion? I’m not a new guy that’s full of piss an vinegar that’s hoping to pull off a win; I’m the vet that’s going through the motions and paying his dues back into this company because that’s just how things work. Knowing however where I’ve been an how long I’ve been there, do you FPV think that you have what it takes to overcome your greatest challenge?
* Greatest challenge? Ego much? *
Odin: That’s what this is; right? Your greatest challenge? How it not be. I am the physical embodiment of everything you strived an yet failed to achieve. Going up against me at Slam is like going up against your entire life- all rolled up into one giant seven foot, three hundred plus pound, Nordic tank of a package. I know that your desperate to secure a place on the mid card so that you can rise up into the high profile and put on those matches that you’ve only had wet dreams about but unfortunately you gotta go through me. Unfortunately for you FPV, you gotta go through a man whose in much more then just familiar territory.
Tell me something; how does a man like you combat a man like me? It can’t be with a head strong resolve highlighted with a whim and prayer. It’ll take more then a whisper to god to get you off the ground against me. You’re a brawler- a man consumed by his own hatred of what he used to be. To me that just spells mistake, after hopeless mistake; mistakes that I can see before you even make them. So you better have this whole thing planned out further then crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s. You better walk into Slam knowing exactly what’s on the line and how to combat it.. If not.. Well..
* Odin kneels down and places the flowers on the grave. *
Odin: Here’s to what you were and what you ultimate will be again. My condolences to the man who tried desperately to walk out of his own unforgiving shadow, only to have been consumed by another, mine. You see, theres nothing to be ashamed about, that just makes you like everybody else. In case you were wondering, at Slam I’m going to show you what the top of the world looks like- and what the world looks like on the way down; how bittersweet that feeling is. I’m going to save you the heartache and the hardship of experiencing it first hand. At the expense of Odin Balfore you’ll experience second hand success with first class failure when you come upon the eyes of what greatness is. When you witness years upon years of what the ring can do to a man.. Make him a stone cold, no remorse.. Hunter. You see, when I get into that ring, its on in ways that you couldn’t even begin to image, ways that you truly arnt prepared for. It’s ok FPV, because I’ll be there to help you along the way; along the way BACK down the mountain where you used to be.
Now I have the respect for your in work but your motives are lacking. Its this that’ll be your down fall, its that which will consume and cloud your mind.. Causing those mistakes that I was just talking about. Against me, you have to be on top of your gane- unfortunately for you.. That never was the case. Let me just give you a word to the wise- don’t try and test me. Don’t think you can come in and fight me because I WILL crush you for stepping out of line. I can either make you look like a million dollars or I can make you look like you just robbed a game of monopoly.
* Which I think Odin’s done that before.. So trust him, that’s experience talking. *
Odin: I’m going to use to you; just like I used Bundy. We’re about to play a game that I’ve become very good in, a game where my particular set of skills lends itself very handy. Let me put it to you bluntly- at slam, its going to be like reliving your pathetic jobber past over, and over, and over again until I deem it necessary to stop. You see, we’re not building up the career of FPV- I didn’t come back to just give back to the industry when it still has more fruit to bear on my behalf. At Slam, we play the Odin Balfore game.. Where my will is wall.. And that law is absolutely. When my shadow casts over you- FPV, you’ll know that Odin Balfore isn’t just here for some popcorn an a quick pay check.. O’ no. You’ll know that Odin Baflore is here to get on top of WCF and stay there for quite some time because this place is filled with guys like you and guys like you.. They can’t stop the impending storm that is my Mark.
* a faint rumbling of thunder can be heard in the distance as Odin slowly looks back then faces forward again.*
Odin: Storms commin soon; best take shelter. Tell ya what; I’ll just make it quick and drive my knee right into your sternum.. Put a nice big crack in it, an as your gasping for air, feeling your chest getting tighter and tighter I’ll lift you up so that for an instance you’ll know what being a top guy is before I remind you that you’re place- your destiny will ALWAYS be as a jobber.. Its then my friend when your looking up at those house lights an your mind is dazed, vision blurred and struggling to breath and your dreaming about the big time; that’s when the Valkyries will come and take you away.. Till Ragnarok.. Till eternity.. Till Odin Balfore tells you that your ready.. And boy.. At Slam, against me.. You just aint ready.. .. So I have spoken.. So it shall.. Come to pass..
* Odin walks off as the comming storms rolls in ever closer; a foreshadow of things to come. *
