(OOC - This takes place after last week's Rampage went off the air.)
This was not what I wanted...this is not how I wanted the title defense to go. Mevy earned this title opportunity and was screwed out of it by Billy Feral...all because he just can't seem to let go of this vendetta he has had boiling up inside of him for the last ten years. After the match I begin searching for him backstage.
Griffin Hawkins: Where are you!? Where are you?!
I open the door to what looks to be his locker room, searching for him to be inside.
Griffin Hawkins: Answer me motherfucker!!
I see that he isn't even in there. I go back outside and see Ace Heart. I glare over to him and angrily come up to him, grabbing him by his sport coat.
Griffin Hawkins: ...Where is he?....Where is he!?
Ace Heart: Griff calm down! He left! After your match he left the building I swear! He got in his car and drove away...
I let him go, stomping away. In a fit of anger I clear a table full of equipment, flipping it over.
Griffin Hawkins: God Damnit!
A few of the road agents saw me coming and quickly ran off. I sit against the wall, running my hands through my hair in frustration. I couldn't believe this scumbag was still around meddling in my business. I then heard a voice.
"Bad night I see.."
I look and see its Tony Savage. I guess he was in town to cheer me on in my title defense.
Griffin Hawkins: If that's the understatement of the year I don't know what is.
Tony Savage: Bro..you need to calm down..
Griffin Hawkins: Don't tell me to calm down! I am sick and tired of this bullshit!
Tony Savage: Griff I can see why you're pissed off, but you can't let him get to you like this, that's what he wants. He pulled this shit to get into your head, and it looks like it's working.
Griffin Hawkins: I'm gonna kill that motherfucker, I swear to God..
Tony Savage: Just relax okay? I'm telling you you can't let him get into your head...he knows one on one he can't beat you. He can't beat you physically, so he's gonna try and do it mentally. He wants to take your mind out of the game so he can get the advantage..but you can't let him.
He was right, this was a mental game of chess..and he just declared checkmate. Taking a deep sigh I rest the back of my head against the wall.
Griffin Hawkins: Jesus Christ...does anyone know how to fight like a man anymore? Ever since I got here, people have been jumping me from behind, using the numbers advantage to get the best of me, using their position of power to book me in impossible matches, and now they are coming down to interrupt title defenses.
Tony Savage: You're preaching to the choir bro. It's not just on Rampage, but Brawl too. These days people have traded their dicks in for pussies and choose to take shortcuts to the top instead of actually earning it. And when they don't get what they want, they leave town.
Griffin Hawkins: That's why I thought it was a breath of fresh air when Mevy became number one contender...she earned her opportunities and actually had the guts to come at me face to face and tell me she wants my gold and she's gonna take it..and then Billy comes down and ruins what was the match of the night...and more importantly cost her her job. What is it with people like that? I don't get it...
Tony Savage: You wanna know what the problem is with people like that? It's people like us. People like us who say whatever is on our minds and go out there and back it up in the ring and put on the match of the night..people like us who have earned titles while they have none to their resume. There's always some professional jealousy among them because they are vying for the top spot. They want to be in our shoes, they want to be the number one guy on their perspective brand. They are willing to do anything to get in that spot, especially if it involves taking us out. They see us as a threat and they want nothing to stand in their way of being the man on the top of the mountain.
Griffin Hawkins: Well...he's not even gonna chance to scale this mountain. But first off, I talked to Mac before the show and...I'm getting married soon and he's giving me time off..
Tony Savage: No shit, really? Congrats bro..real happy for you.
Griffin Hawkins: Thanks...but when I come back, I'm gonna end that little cock stain's EWC career before it begins. When I get done with that Nine Inch Nails reject...he'll never get in my face again.
Tony Savage: Damn right. You whooped his ass once..and you can definitely do it again. Just don't fall into his trap.
Griffin Hawkins: What about you though?..You know...you and Titan. I saw what that jacked up freak did to you.
Tony Savage: Trust me, I haven't forgotten about what that big ugly freak did to me. That overgrown gorilla is gonna get his ass kicked six ways to Sunday. For now, just focus on yourself..and the wedding. This is gonna be the biggest day of your life...and you can't let that fake ass wannabe Joey Ramone be on your mind.
Griffin Hawkins: Yeah..you're right. You still gonna be at the wedding?
Tony Savage: You know it dude...I'm bringing all my crew too, we all wanna be there for your big day.
Griffin Hawkins: Thanks man...seeya there.
We both give a bro to bro hug as we both go our separate ways in the hall.
