What a week.
I guess I need to address Jackson Blaze. Who took it upon himself to run me down and trash me in his glorious return promo.
Well, welcome back Jacko. And I'm flattered that you took the time to address me personally as a person you hate. That's great. You want to threaten me? Get in line. There's already 5 people ahead of you. You're going to have to take a number.
I never had a problem with you while you were here before, and I don't know what I did to get on your hit list now, but at this point, I don't really care Jackson. You want to come at me with your fists raised ready to fight, I'm not going to go anywhere. As baffling as your challenge and hatred are, I have no problem dealing with them, when the time comes.
Wait, what that I hear? Is that the sounds of a woman who has no idea what the hell she's talking about? It must be Bliss. Again.
Well, how'd that world title match pan out? Not so good huh? That sucks. I would have loved to beat you for that title too. But that's the breaks as they say. So, what do you have for me this time? More of the same desperation? That's what I was expecting, and It's pretty much what I got. So that's good.
Look Kahlan, I asked you very nicely to unleash that hidden "beast" on me a while ago. I wanted all that you had to offer. And although it did put me in the hospital, I still won the match. Then you demanded a re-match, that I gave you, but you wanted a cage. I asked you to once again unleashed the monster, and guess what? I still beat you.
And while I'm on the subject of history, let me clarify something. I never said "Hey, I just lost the TV title, I'm worthy of a Sin City title shot." Nor was I handed a world title match like you just were. You know what I did? I challenged the champion. I asked that champion to give me a title shot. The champion could have said "no" but they didn't, they said "yes"
That was you, by the way.
You wanted to prove that you were the best female wrestler here, nay, the best wrestler period. But I beat you. And now, you can't get over that fact. You can't let it go. Now, you return once again on this seemingly never-ending quest to prove that you can beat me one on one. I'm glad I'm driving you to be better, and really, I really love to wrestle you. You bring out the best in me. There's just one little thing wrong with this whole picture:
I cannot let you beat me.
I simply have to be better than you, to take down the real target. I have to better to beat Drake, and destroy the AOA. But it seems like Trey, Jackson, and you yourselves are doing a fine job of destroying yourselves. You chose that side Bliss, You chose to walk with them, what has it gotten you? Nothing. A win here or there, victories over opponents you should defeat. Nothing special. I mean, if anything, you've been riding the coattails of Drake Hunter and the rest of the group. You've been arm candy.
And I know you don't want that.
But that's the reality of the situation. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. All the bile spewed by you over the past 3 months, Everything you've had to say, all of it, I can take. Because you and I both know you're better than that. I just wish you would prove it. Because no matter what you say Kahlan, no matter how hard you try to make me and everyone else believe that you're okay with where you are...you're not. And really, no matter how bad you want to beat me up, I'm not going to hate you. I don't hate you. In fact, I like you. You are a great opponent. You just need to listen and stop being blinded by the promises of a man who is only out for himself. No, no hate, just...pity.
But Drake on the other hand...
I'm so proud of the world champion for ducking Trey Baxter and giving his girlfriend a title match, It was sweet. I'm also not surprised he took the opportunity to beat her with her own move, humiliating her in front of thousands of people. Because that's what a real man does.
It's vermin like Drake that make me wonder if what I'm doing is really worth it. No matter how many times you squash one, another one turns up in it's place. No matter how many times you stop one, another plots world destruction. Megalomaniacs like Drake only chance their appearance from time to time, but the personality is always there. It's the kind of men I have to deal with on pretty much a weekly basis. But Drake, Drake Hunter is a special kind of vermin.
The lowest kind. The kind so desperate to keep power for himself that he's willing to do anything to make sure he keeps it. He basically appealed to his girlfriends kindness and used it against her. He took a shortcut, because even he realizes that his glory is not going to last forever. It's not going to be around for long. And the AOA has already lost the tag titles. They needed to save face. So Drake did what he believed he needed to do.
How does it feel Drake? Now that at least some people aren't buying this nonsense anymore. A leopard never changes his stripes Drake, once a lying, cheating, conniving, back-stabbing maniac, always one. You may have bought some of these people with that false premise, but now, they're seeing through it. Everything, besides that gold belt on your shoulder, is slipping through your fingers. And it won't be long before that's gone too.
But that brings me to TNT. You and Bliss. One more time. They can give me any partner they want, it doesn't matter. I at least know Madd Katt is going to go out there and compete, he showed me that much last week. He showed me that he's not going to back down, or do his own thing when it comes to this match. But that seems to be how it all starts. Katt, I'm not giving you my full trust, but enough to where I shouldn't have to watch my back from you, as well.
It's simply Bliss and Drake, I've beaten them before, I can do it again. It's going to be fun to see what Bliss and Drake have planned this week, And to see if Jackson is going to do more than talk.
I got all the enemies I can handle now, don't I. Maybe Bliss is right. Maybe I am in over my head. Maybe I should just grovel at her feet and admit she's right...
Wow. I can't believe I said that with a straight face.
I have bigger issues than someone's foot fetish. But whatever, TNT is going to another test.
A test, I intend to pass. Again.
[ Roxi sits on the edge of a building looking over the city. Sydney walks up behind her.]
Sydney - There you are.
Roxi - Hey.
Sydney - What are you doing up here?
Roxi - I've been thinking.
Sydney - About Ted?
Roxi - Yeah.
Sydney - Look, you know how the rest of us feel....
Roxi - I know. Save it.
Sydney - I...I was just about to say that...it doesn't really matter what we think. This is up to you.
Roxi - ....
Sydney - I'll just leave you to it then.
Roxi - No, Sydney.
Sydney - What?
Roxi - Just...thanks for what you've done.
Sydney - I do what I can.
Roxi - I think I need to do something else to clear my head.
Sydney - Wanna crack some skulls?
Roxi - Kinda.
Sydney - Wanna get some Chinese?
Roxi - Kinda.
Sydney - So...you want to beat up some Chinese thugs and then get Chinese food?
Roxi - That's just too much.
Sydney - Okay, I'm just throwing it out there.
Roxi - I think I need to talk to Ted.
Sydney - You...you're going to tell him?
Roxi - Yeah, I think I made my choice.
Sydney - Rox, I just want you to know, that no matter what...I will support you.
Roxi - Thanks, Z.
Sydney - That, and I will endlessly taunt you.
Roxi - I figured.
Sydney - Toodles. I'm off for Chinese, all that talk made me hungry.
Roxi - See ya.
He certainly gave me enough to think about. But, I can't have second thoughts now. I've thought about this all week. For the past two weeks. I think he deserves an answer.
I just hope it's the right one.
[ Later, at Ted's apartment. ]
Ted - Hey. I was wondering where you were.
Roxi - I'm sorry. I just...had a lot to think about.
Ted - Yeah, I did kind of spring that on you.
Roxi - You did.
Ted - Well, come in sit down.
Roxi - Thanks.
[ She takes a seat on his couch. He sits down next to her. ]
Ted - I...I guess I should have known this would have taken some time. It is a big step.
Roxi - Yeah, I've given it a lot of thought.
Ted - And...?
Roxi - Ted, I like you. I really do. You're kind, you're charming, you're attentive, you've got everything I'm looking for...
Ted - But?
Roxi - Well...
Ted - There's always a but.
Roxi - I...I just don't really think I know you that well. We've been dating for a couple of months now, and really, I feel like I barely know you. And now you want to get married.
Ted - I know, I...I probably should have given it more time.
Roxi - I hope you understand, I really do like you, I...I just can't marry you right now.
Ted - Right now?
Roxi - I mean, there's always a future where we can get married. But, this is too soon.
[ After a brief moment, a smile comes across Ted's face ]
Ted - You know, you're right.
Roxi - I am...?
Ted - Yeah, this was way too soon, I really didnt' give you a chance to know me. I mean, I was just so...in love with you, that I didn't want you to get away.
Roxi - Well, I don't think I'm going anywhere.
Ted - That's great. We'll take it slow.
Roxi - Yeah, that sounds... nice.
Ted - One day at a time.
Roxi - You...you're so understanding.
Ted - I try to be a good guy
Roxi - Thanks.
Ted - Come on, I'll give you lift home.
Roxi - Thanks Ted.
