Am I a fool to expect more from Drew Stevenson that people have recently expected from him?

I certainly don't think so.

Nothing special, it's not needed.

Just fade in.

"For the last couple of weeks, I have experienced some sort of...drop, if you will in the ranks. Well, not exactly dropped in the ranks, just a drop in motivation I suppose you could say. I'm lost my edge, and I am man enough to admit so, but let me tell you something, this little 'downfall' of mine, so no more. Last week I challenge Jessica Michaels, in order to get this winning streak back on track, or atleast a win for my record, to show people that I am not down for the count. Jessica's known to be one tough bitch, so what better way to get back in the game, by defeating someone such as her. It seemed like a great plan, and then after her, hopefully leading up to Rage and Retribution, I would challenge people. But only the ones that seemed to deserve my challenge, only the ones that would highten my record if I won, and if I didn't, I would still be able to respect the wrestler."

"For a certain time, I was quite interested in the federation known as OCW. I would never have joined the damn thing, but I was interested in learning about the people that had once gone through that place. Coming straight from Deathcore Wrestling, the fact that Drake Solace had once shuffled through this place, had intrigued me so. He had aligned himself with a man known as Nefarious, which sounded familiar, being a fan of SEE, and of course, Ambika Renton. History says that to determine the first ever OCW World Heavyweight Champion, Nefarious would face off against none other than Drew Stevenson, a man I'm pretty sure most of you know. As it says in the books, Drew Stevenson was able to defeat Nefarious for that championship, so right away, no matter how well, or poorly, Nefarious would have fought back then. Drew did defeat him, and for that I would respect Drew, without a doubt. Then, the fact that he hade made his way into the Hall of Fame seemed to make him even greater. I wasn't sure the extent of this man's ability, but I knew he had to be something better than what everyone pegged him to be."

"I most have arrived in BUD a short time after Drew Stevenson left, because as I went over the history books, I realized that Drew had also once held the Tag Team Championships. Infact, it wasn't to long ago either. It had appeared that I had just missed him. Wherever he went, I did not know, but I knew I came within atleast a couple monthes of colliding with the man that I had waited so long to see in the ring."

"We all know how the rest goes, don't we? Three weeks into the corporation, I somehow pull a win out of my ass for the coveted BUDvision Championship. Yeah, I was on top of the world for the time being, and we all know I had a run as champion. Then at one of the events, the number three spot for my belt had opened, and management decided to give everyone a chance to get their hands on it. It was then that Mr. Stevenson, returned to BUD and claimed that number three spot for his own. Being the champion at the time, I knew that one day, in the near future, I would have to face him in the ring for the belt. It didn't frighten me, like it should have, but it excited me. I would be facing Drew Stevenson, looking at him from across the ring before the bell rang. Now, some may say that I was insane to be so excited over a such a chump as Drew Stevenson, but I tend to disagree with that statement. It was just a short time afterwards that Mr. Stevenson left BUD yet again, leaving me without the match that I had desired for quite a while."

"Now, he's back, and I wasn't about to let this chance slip through my finger. I may not be the champion anymore, but it doesn't really matter. I don't need to be a champion in order to challenge somebody, but the only question was, would he accept my challenge? I had once heard Drew say that he went face to face with people like Seifer, Dante Cross, and so on, and couldn't waste his time with worthless nobodys. I wasn't quite sure if I was on the list of nobodys, but I was almost positive I was. True, I had won the BUDvision Championship, but I was still very much a rookie, besides, I had been in a slump, and almost everyone had something negative to say about me."

"That was just a few short days ago that I challenge Mr. Stevenson to a match, and you could say I was surprised, thriller, ecstatic, whatever, when he accepted my chalenge. But all that could go through my mind was that I would finally be living out a goal, I would finally see Drew Stevenson on the other side of the ring. Finally, a chance like this, would not slip through my fingers. Drew Stevenson may be god in some places, he may be a lowlife jobber in others, but for me, he's a respected wrestler, and it's only natural that I want to go up against him. It's a test of ability, and even if I lose, I will still be able to walk out with a smile on my face. Strange, huh? All I can say, is that I hope he's ready, because I've been waiting for this over a year, your damn right I'm ready."

Fade out.
