"Dave, one of the greatest of all time said something that I truly believe is the truth in this business. He said: "To be the man, you gotta beat the man." To be something in anything, you have to prove yourself by outdoing superior competition. Nothing in this world worth doing is never easy. It's not something you can order from Amazon or attain by doing stupid stunts on MTV or VH1 or by acting like a spoiled gold-digger from Atlanta or Southern California." The Silent One, Whysper, if you're just now starting to pay attention, has a shot at the top prize in one of the top companies in the soon-to-be-defunct MSN circuit. Forget all the whining, all the complaining, and all the emo wrist-cutting fits that Whysper has produced, he's not bullshitting himself anymore. No more crying this time. Whysper won't lie to himself and if he wants the ICWA World Heavyweight Championship, he has to clear his head of all obstacles. "You're right, Dave, I need to keep myself focused. I need to let go of all my personal problems. I mean, I love Angelina and it hurts me deeply that she wants to leave me, but does that make me any worse a wrestler? Absolutely not. If I divide and conquer with my battles, I'll win. At this point, my focus is that title on your shoulder. Dave, there's no doubt in my mind that you deserve that title. Every title you attain, I know you're the kind of man that'd rather earn it than be given it. It must be a Hoosier thing, Dave. Two of this industry's best, battling it out in the ICWA's hottest main event yet, hail from Indiana. If anything, Van Dam, we'll do our home state proud. We fight like warriors. We leave like gentlemen. If anything, Dave, we both go down swinging. Too bad only one of has to be left standing. Then again, knowing you and me, even the winner won't be able stand after that last bell rings. " Whysper can't stop thinking about the fact that the MSN Circuit is shutting down only 15 days. There's something about endings. The Silent One has never been good at goodbyes, especially when those goodbyes leave so many things unsolved. Nonetheless, Whysper will always look back on the MSN circuit with fondness. "Come February twenty-first, Dave, the MSN circuit closes its doors for good. I can't help but feel a pang of sadness. This is where I cut my teeth. This is where I fell in love. This is where I found myself, in a career I never thought I'd find myself in a million years. Endings always bring with them new beginnings. New beginnings bring with them hope. The ICWA will see a new Whysper this time. A Whysper more driven. A Whysper more focused. I've always said that in this business, a man my size has to be a giant-killer to simply have a career. On Friday night, I have the chance to slay the biggest giant of them all...David Van Dam. The Icon. I'm not wanting to beat DVD to simply make a name for myself. I want to beat him simply because he has what I have...the ICWA Heavyweight Championship. I don't really think YOU don't understand, Dave, how bad I want to win this match. How bad I NEED to win this match. Then again, Dave, I think you might. I'm not that scared little boy who walked out of your wrestling academy five and a half years ago. You know that I won't stop until that gold is around my waist. You or not, I will go through anybody who is champion. I don't care if I have to face Triple H himself. I'm winning that title. You can't crush my dreams, Dave, not anymore, because you cannot kill what you did not create. Then again, words mean nothing. Talk is cheap...and I do my talking in the ring." ((Fade Out)) |
