What we've got here, is failure to communicate.
The line from "Cool Hand Luke" seems to apropos in this current situation with Bliss. A person who seems to tune out any form of common sense or rational thought. I didn't think I asked for too much, or anything that was too difficult to understand. And yet, there she goes again, either putting words in my mouth, outright lying to all you good people, and disrepecting you yet again to further cement the point she doesn't like you, nor does she care.
Apparently, she cares enough to trash you people every time she's on the screen, But again, she doesn't care about you. Once again, I can only shake my head in confusion at the person with an I.Q. of 142 yet does not know the difference between "better" and "best". A person who says "you can't argue my points, then, When I oblige her and counter her argument, turns around says "why did you just argue my points, you're just doing my promo!" Which do you want Bliss? What would you like me to do, do you want an argument that you can't possibly win, or to try to out promo me, which you're not going to win either? I can give it to you how you want it. You just have to tell me one, or the other. Though apparently, I can't leave it in your hands, because you can't make up your mind.
So, when there's a next time, I'm laying down the ground rules right away, otherwise we're never going to get anywhere like we are right now. Because without fail, you continue to dig yourself a deeper hole, stumbling and fumbling around because everything you've done for this and the previous matches is something ridiculous, and then use the old "this was meant to do this, and you did that, exactly as I planned mwahahaha!" Really, you planned all this out and it has gone according to plan this whole time? Wow, so, I take it losing this title to me was part of your plan? Oh, I get it, you want to be a three time champion, you just want to pad your numbers. This seems like a really convoluted and complicated plan if you ask me. Who are you, the Joker? Did you really think that I would simply cry or be hurt by you smashing a gargoyle with a hammer? Was it supposed to break my heart, make me concerned about our cage match, in which you aren't going to use a sledgehammer in?
Oh, wait, maybe this whole thing was just to confuse the heck out of me and everyone who is watching MPW at the moment. In that case, mission accomplished. That was a great plan.
You see Ms. Genius, everything you've said so far has either been wrong, a blatant lie, or some kind of snide remark to anger me. I know you think that's really clever, but it's just sad at this point. You have gotten on TV and embarrassed yourself time and time again, to prove some kind of point which no one has gotten yet. What exactly are you trying to get across? You're going to beat me at Unsanctioned? Okay, I kinda figured you would want to. That's not really anything new. I don't think I've ever seen anyone in any individual sport ever say "I'm here to lose"
Okay, Glass Joe is the exception, whatever.
I know you want to beat me. I know you think you're better. I can come out and say the same things, but that would be insulting people's intelligence. I know that's something you are quite fond of doing, But I tend to stray away from that sort of thing. Everyone already knows that we think we're better than each other, and we both want this title, everyone but you, it seems. Since you feel the need to tell me and everyone else every time you talk.
Notice something there, Newton? Notice how I said "better" and not "best". I am not "the best". I never claimed to be the "best" even though I have one of the highest winning percentages in the company, even though I have the longest title reign of any one wrestler, even though I have 2 undefeated streaks that both lasted over two months. Those are stats that speak volumes. I'm just going by the numbers here, and while that does not make me "the best" it does make me "Better"
Better than you.
Now, if you were the "Best" then I could claim to be the best, couldn't I? But you are not the best. Unless you have that high of an opinion of yourself, in which case you're being dishonest again, because it's all in black and white. Any comparable stat between you and I is more or less in my favor. Win/Loss record: Me. One on one encounters Roxi, 1 Bliss, 0. Length of title reigns: Advantage me. You see Bliss, Men lie, Women Lie, but numbers do not. So, according to the numbers I am "better" than you.
Not the "best", just better.
And that's all I need to be. I just need to be better than you. Which, I continue to prove over this past month. You had your chance to prove how much better you were at Road to Glory, and you failed. But I forget "weapons aren't your specialty." That's simply an excuse for not getting the job done. So I wonder what your excuse will be when you lose this time? What, Cage matches aren't your thing thing either? You were sick, you're dog ate your homework? What else are you going to come up with? This is your re-do, you're mulligan. And you decided to give me an absurd promo about gloves being off and some other stuff, then a promo chock full of straw man arguments, flawed logic, and idle threats. Basically the same thing you did when you lost the title. But now, now it's different right? Now you're serious. Now you're a lion, now you have all the confidence in the world, because you think what you've done is really edgy and funny and cool. Sadly, it's stale and boring. I know that may come as a shock to you, but honestly, how many times can one person hear "I'm going to beat you, I'm going to hurt you, I'm this, I'm that" before you just throw your hands up and say..."really?"
It's like you just have no idea what you're talking about, you just have to say something that will make you sound just a hair smarter than the 142 I.Q. would imply. Hey, if you have an I.Q of 142, that's great. Also, irrelevant. We're not having having a conversation Bliss. We are not debating world politics or gun control, we're wrestling. We are at war, and this is just another battle. Because the war, will be time consuming.
You wish to know why I am fighting, why do I dislike The age of arrogance, Why I am waging war against them. The reason should be very simple to a person as smart as you, but I guess it isn't. So, I will continue to educate you. You are leading these people under false pretenses. You know it, I know it. You and that propaganda machine continue to pump out the misinformation all the time. About how you're all so great, and doing such a great thing for MPW, and how this is the best thing going today, and everyone should embrace you.
It's funny, it only seems that all is well as long as you have everything and others have nothing. As long as you have all the power, everything is just great, isn't it. It's another reason why you're coming after this belt. Because everything has to be perfect for you, and right now, everything is incomplete. Why do you think I told you you need to be ready to kill me to take it? Which makes all the more hilarious that two weeks ago, and even last week, even two days ago, you told me that you were ready to do just that. You wanted to kill me. You wanted to do worse than put me in the hospital like you did before. Now, all of a sudden, I'm the morbid one. I'm the one who taking this too far.
But the Age of Arrogance is above that, aren't they? Just so long as they get to shove it down everyone's throats. Well that's not me Kahlan, I'm not wired that way. And it's not something I'm prepared to tolerate. It's what makes your stance in all this all the more ironic. Had you not joined, had the AOA not existed in the first place, there would be no need for me to take up arms. Everything was just fine before they came into existence. Without them, there is no conflict, no heroes fighting the good fight, no bad guys to overcome. You wouldn't have lost this belt to me and be whining and complaining to get it back. You would stand on your own two feet and stake a claim for that world title. Maybe you could have took your loss better. But because the AOA exists, and because you're in it, my success in unacceptable to you. It's what I'm talking about. This jealousy of others success makes you ill. You're already angry because I beat you, now because you have nothing, you can't stand it. In order to fit in with what they want, you need to beat me. Because they've changed the way that this company works. Something you yourself are against. You want a return to the old school, you are playing for the wrong team.
You're overall talent may not have taken a hit. But your character sure did. That's what makes this story so tragic.
But it doesn't matter really, does it? The faces and names could be different. The goals are always the same: Domination, ruling with an iron fist, making those weaker suffer. And the result would still be the same for me. I would stand against it. I stand against all injustice. And it's not because I wear a costume. It's not because I wear a mask or fight monsters. It's not because I need to play hero every time.
It's because it's the right thing to do. And I will always fight for that cause. It's what a good person would do.
There's nothing good, or just, or right about you, or anything that AOA stands for. Nothing redeeming about subjugating everyone to their shtick every five minutes. Nothing about them will make anything better for anyone.
Why do I dislike the Age or Arrogance? Because they are an evil entity. And the worst kind because they come under the guise of good. With false good intentions. If you had a backbone, you would be standing here with me, trying to stop this from taking over like the plague that it is, but you chose the easy way. You chose to be weak minded and lead by the hand. That was your choice. You could have been a worthy partner, standing and fighting shoulder to shoulder. but instead you chose to be a follower. To stand not beside, but behind. That's a choice you have to live with Bliss.
And when the AOA is gone, when I take them out. And you are once again on the wrong side of history, maybe you'll understand. You're choices have consequences too Bliss, not just mine. I know what awaits me. I know that it will be a long, hard fought battle, I never expected it to be easy. It's what I do. It's what I stand for. I live to fight those who choose to pick on the weak, and bully those they don't like.
And I don't need a costume to do it.
The symbol I represent with that costume is only the surface of me as a person. There's more to me than that. Just like I believe there is more to you than a self-righteous, hypocritical, lying, whiny little girl. Maybe. But me, the obstacles I overcome have molded me and made me who I am today.
Case in point this cage match. You desperate for revenge, come at me with everything you have. All your hate, rage, jealousy, hypocrisy, cruelness, and false bravado. You come to take this title from me as if your career was on the line. You come for redemption, you come for vengeance?
I have only justice.
And that is because of you, and the Age of Arrogance. You did this, you brought this on. I no longer have the sympathy I once did. I no longer will give you the opportunity. The scumbags in the AOA and you have made me this way. You earned me. Congratulations. Now instead of sympathy, My hand is now the swift hand of justice, that will once again serve me inside a steel cage.
The cage will merely serve as another test for me to pass. I won a ladder match. I won a hell in a cell match. I've stared death in the face and I am still standing here, the Sin City champion. You have no idea about the depths of what I am truly capable of. I am just getting started. I will do everything and endure whatever you bring in order to retain this title.
The stage is set Kahlan. You bring everything you think you need. You bring it all. Then, when you think you've got enough, when you feel like you the exact amount right, you bring more. It's going to take more than you can dish out to beat me. This will be the biggest chapter of this war so far. You and I will come to the arena, we will enter the cage, and we will write yet another great chapter in our respective history books.
But no matter which book they read, the end of this chapter will still be the same...
You lose....again.
[Focus in on a Roxi, unchacteristically clad in a Long black dress, complete with low cut top. Several pieces of jewlrey on her arms and fingers. Gold earrings in. She checks her wrist watch. She begins peering at the menu. Our focus shifts to her date, Ted Sullivan, as he saunters in. His short black hair unkempt for whatever reason, and he has, 5 O‘clock shadow. White dress shirt, blue sportcoat, matching blue pants. He curiously looks around, seraching for someone. ]
Roxi - Ted?
[He continues looking as she calls out. Finally they lock eyes.]
Ted - Roxi?
Roxi - In the flesh.
[Ted makes his way over to the table. Roxi stands to meet him. They hug.]
Ted - It's been too long.
Roxi - We just went out not too long ago.
Ted - I know…I …missed you.
Roxi - I…missed you r
Ted - Let's eat, huh?
Roxi - Sure.
[Ted, ever the gentlemen, seats Roxi, then himself. He smiles as they continue.]
Ted - You're looking great.
Roxi - Aww, thank you. Not too bad yourself.
Ted - You don't have to tell me.
[She rolls her eyes, amused.]
Roxi - Funny.
Ted - I thought so.
Roxi - So…how’s the whole clown thing going?
Ted - Its….uh…yeah it’s great.
Roxi - Are you sure?
Ted - Yeah, kids, balloons it’s great. How’s about you.
Roxi - Well, I am about to step into a cage match against a women who would probably like to injure me permanently.
Ted - Sounds hot.
Roxi - Quite the jokester aren’t you?
Ted - I try. It's always nice to catch-up, and as long as you're doing something, it's not nothing.
Roxi - I suppose.
[Roxi orders wine.]
Roxi - So tell me, with you being a famous clown and all, you've gotta have girls lining up for you.
Ted - Oh yeah. It’s great. Around the block.
Roxi - Mist be nice.
Ted - It's true.
Roxi - Come on.
Ted - I do alright. I’m with you aren’t I?
Roxi - Touche’
Ted - Were you like this is high school too? All nerdy?
Roxi - No, you're changing the subject.
Ted - I told you the truth, I don't have tons of women lining up for me. I did at one point, but not now.
Roxi - I knew it.
Ted - Knew what?
Roxi - I knew in life I would end up dating a big man-whore.
Ted - Those days are over.
Roxi - I see. So why the change now?
Ted - I'm with you.
Roxi - Ah…
Ted - Yeah.
Roxi - Quite the charmer.
Ted - I’m dating a woman who could probably kick my ass.
Roxi - Probably?
Ted - Okay, completely.
Roxi - That’s better.
[ Flash to later, when the meal is over.]
Ted - So, You ready to get out of here?
Roxi - Sure.
Ted - Where do you live, I’ll drop you off.
Roxi - Oh, that’s alright. I can take a cab, it’s how I got here in the first place.
Ted - What, you have some kind of secret lair?
Roxi - Ha! That’s funny.
Ted - Seriously, I’d like to take you home.
Roxi - Oh…
[ He laughs nervously ]
Ted - Oh! I didn’t mean it like that.
Roxi - I’m just messing with you.
Ted - Oh…well…That’s…that’s good then.
Roxi - I think so.
Ted - What does that mean?
Roxi - Heh, It means you get to take me home…
Ted - Great.
Roxi - Let’s go then.
[ They both get up, and leave. Fast track to them sitting in a car outside Roxi’s apartment. ]
Ted - So, here we are.
Roxi - Thanks. I really enjoyed tonight.
Ted - I did too. I certainly hope that we can see each other again..
Roxi - I…do too.
[ They kiss. ]
Ted - Wow. That was great.
Roxi - I …yeah…
Ted - Well, I guess best of luck in your wrestling match.
Roxi - Yeah.
Ted - It sounds like a going to be tough.
Roxi - Meh, I’ve fought vampires before.
Ted - What?
Roxi - …I…Mean I’ve wrestled vampires before.
Ted - Oh, was he like a friendly Vamprie?
Roxi - Ted, have you ever heard of a friendly vampire, minus The Count from Sesame Street? Or Edward from Twilight?
Ted - What's Twilight?
Roxi - …
[/I]I think I love this man…[/I][/color]
[ Back inside, Roxi is confronted by Sydney ]
Roxi - This again?
Sydney - Come on, details.
Roxi - There's nothing to tell.
Sydney - You know what it says to me when someone says that?
Roxi - What?
Sydney - That something happened, and there's something to tell, now spill it.
Roxi - ...What is wrong with you?
Sydney - Come on...
Roxi - Nothing.
Sydney - Now you listen to me, you went on two dates with that guy, and I set this whole thing up, then you tell me there's nothing to tell?
Roxi - I'm not in the mood.
Sydney - Well you GET IN THE MOOD!
Roxi - ...
Sydney - Well?
Roxi - Okay, okay, so we kissed, it was nothing.
Sydney - That is not nothing.
Roxi - Then what is it?
Sydney - It's something.
Roxi - No it's not. It's just a kiss.
Sydney - Alright. Alright.
Roxi - Are we done now?
Sydney - Yeah. That's all I needed to know.
Roxi - Good.
[ Roxi begins to head to the bedroom to change ]
Sydney -So, when's he moving in?
Roxi - ... I hate you so much right now.
Sydney - You love me.
Roxi - If I wasn't wearing this outfit, I would kill you.
Sydney - That's a lame excuse.
Roxi - The outfit is just more valuable to me.
Sydney - Oh, that's harsh. I'll have to tell your boyfriend all about it.
Roxi - Don't you say anything to him!
Sydney - Fine, I'm just going to use your phone to send dirty texts to him using your phone.
[ Roxi rushes out of the bedroom ]
Roxi - No!

[Focus in on a Roxi, unchacteristically clad in a Long black dress, complete with low cut top. Several pieces of jewlrey on her arms and fingers. Gold earrings in. She checks her wrist watch. She begins peering at the menu. Our focus shifts to her date, Ted Sullivan, as he saunters in. His short black hair unkempt for whatever reason, and he has, 5 O‘clock shadow. White dress shirt, blue sportcoat, matching blue pants. He curiously looks around, seraching for someone. ]
Roxi - Ted?
[He continues looking as she calls out. Finally they lock eyes.]
Ted - Roxi?
Roxi - In the flesh.
[Ted makes his way over to the table. Roxi stands to meet him. They hug.]
Ted - It's been too long.
Roxi - We just went out not too long ago.
Ted - I know…I …missed you.
Roxi - I…missed you r
Ted - Let's eat, huh?
Roxi - Sure.
[Ted, ever the gentlemen, seats Roxi, then himself. He smiles as they continue.]
Ted - You're looking great.
Roxi - Aww, thank you. Not too bad yourself.
Ted - You don't have to tell me.
[She rolls her eyes, amused.]
Roxi - Funny.
Ted - I thought so.
Roxi - So…how’s the whole clown thing going?
Ted - Its….uh…yeah it’s great.
Roxi - Are you sure?
Ted - Yeah, kids, balloons it’s great. How’s about you.
Roxi - Well, I am about to step into a cage match against a women who would probably like to injure me permanently.
Ted - Sounds hot.
Roxi - Quite the jokester aren’t you?
Ted - I try. It's always nice to catch-up, and as long as you're doing something, it's not nothing.
Roxi - I suppose.
[Roxi orders wine.]
Roxi - So tell me, with you being a famous clown and all, you've gotta have girls lining up for you.
Ted - Oh yeah. It’s great. Around the block.
Roxi - Mist be nice.
Ted - It's true.
Roxi - Come on.
Ted - I do alright. I’m with you aren’t I?
Roxi - Touche’
Ted - Were you like this is high school too? All nerdy?
Roxi - No, you're changing the subject.
Ted - I told you the truth, I don't have tons of women lining up for me. I did at one point, but not now.
Roxi - I knew it.
Ted - Knew what?
Roxi - I knew in life I would end up dating a big man-whore.
Ted - Those days are over.
Roxi - I see. So why the change now?
Ted - I'm with you.
Roxi - Ah…
Ted - Yeah.
Roxi - Quite the charmer.
Ted - I’m dating a woman who could probably kick my ass.
Roxi - Probably?
Ted - Okay, completely.
Roxi - That’s better.
[ Flash to later, when the meal is over.]
Ted - So, You ready to get out of here?
Roxi - Sure.
Ted - Where do you live, I’ll drop you off.
Roxi - Oh, that’s alright. I can take a cab, it’s how I got here in the first place.
Ted - What, you have some kind of secret lair?
Roxi - Ha! That’s funny.
Ted - Seriously, I’d like to take you home.
Roxi - Oh…
[ He laughs nervously ]
Ted - Oh! I didn’t mean it like that.
Roxi - I’m just messing with you.
Ted - Oh…well…That’s…that’s good then.
Roxi - I think so.
Ted - What does that mean?
Roxi - Heh, It means you get to take me home…
Ted - Great.
Roxi - Let’s go then.
[ They both get up, and leave. Fast track to them sitting in a car outside Roxi’s apartment. ]
Ted - So, here we are.
Roxi - Thanks. I really enjoyed tonight.
Ted - I did too. I certainly hope that we can see each other again..
Roxi - I…do too.
[ They kiss. ]
Ted - Wow. That was great.
Roxi - I …yeah…
Ted - Well, I guess best of luck in your wrestling match.
Roxi - Yeah.
Ted - It sounds like a going to be tough.
Roxi - Meh, I’ve fought vampires before.
Ted - What?
Roxi - …I…Mean I’ve wrestled vampires before.
Ted - Oh, was he like a friendly Vamprie?
Roxi - Ted, have you ever heard of a friendly vampire, minus The Count from Sesame Street? Or Edward from Twilight?
Ted - What's Twilight?
Roxi - …
[/I]I think I love this man…[/I][/color]
[ Back inside, Roxi is confronted by Sydney ]
Roxi - This again?
Sydney - Come on, details.
Roxi - There's nothing to tell.
Sydney - You know what it says to me when someone says that?
Roxi - What?
Sydney - That something happened, and there's something to tell, now spill it.
Roxi - ...What is wrong with you?
Sydney - Come on...
Roxi - Nothing.
Sydney - Now you listen to me, you went on two dates with that guy, and I set this whole thing up, then you tell me there's nothing to tell?
Roxi - I'm not in the mood.
Sydney - Well you GET IN THE MOOD!
Roxi - ...
Sydney - Well?
Roxi - Okay, okay, so we kissed, it was nothing.
Sydney - That is not nothing.
Roxi - Then what is it?
Sydney - It's something.
Roxi - No it's not. It's just a kiss.
Sydney - Alright. Alright.
Roxi - Are we done now?
Sydney - Yeah. That's all I needed to know.
Roxi - Good.
[ Roxi begins to head to the bedroom to change ]
Sydney -So, when's he moving in?
Roxi - ... I hate you so much right now.
Sydney - You love me.
Roxi - If I wasn't wearing this outfit, I would kill you.
Sydney - That's a lame excuse.
Roxi - The outfit is just more valuable to me.
Sydney - Oh, that's harsh. I'll have to tell your boyfriend all about it.
Roxi - Don't you say anything to him!
Sydney - Fine, I'm just going to use your phone to send dirty texts to him using your phone.
[ Roxi rushes out of the bedroom ]
Roxi - No!
