(Hornet's backstage in Vegas in a room designated for taping. He starts cutting a promo for PRIMETIME in Seattle.)
You know, "Wicked Sight," for a self-proclaimed FREAK who tries to be cool by wearing a pot necklace, you sure do seem to go in for 'causes' a lot. It's like you have diarrhea of the mouth... you open up, and you just can't help that what comes out smells like crap.
What is this week? Are you gonna live in a tree to protect the environment? Maybe you'll starve yourself to protest world hunger.
Or maybe you'll take on a truly idiotic cause, like trying to divide the roster by teaming up 'young' versus 'old.'
Evan told you that's not the way he thinks, Plett. But maybe that's because he's actually shown that he can get the job done and become a champion. You'll have your chance to that at PRIMETIME, won't you?
You'll have your chance to 'put a stop to people like me,' like you tried to do with the mistaken Forsaken. You'll have your chance to 'deliver.' And you'll even have your chance to 'get revenge' for Lawrence Stanley...even though he hasn't once asked you to.
But that's part of your problem, isn't it, Plett? You run around coming up with 'causes' so that you don't simply sit down and smoke yourself into oblivion. Today your cause is saving the honor of Lawrence Stanley... and yesterday, it was 'defending the honor' of the CSWA in that outback promotion, the GXW.
And where did that 'cause' get us all, Plett? It led to Evan Aho getting suckered into a one-time return to the GXW, and then getting screwed over by its management and by Dan Ryan. All because YOU decided you needed to pick up an extra paycheck by touring over there and running your mouth about how big and bad you are as a CSWA superstar.
If the world were fair, YOU would have been the one getting your butt kicked in front of the fifteen screaming fans that were in attendance. But you weren't important enough, were you? They decided to go after the CSWA World Champion and 'stake their claim,' so to speak. (Hornet grins.)
Aho has enough on his plate defending the World Title without you inviting every hobo and has-been from the outback to jump on him. But I guess you didn't think about that, did you?
No, you don't THINK about much...you just run your mouth. You think you've got enough 'expertise' in the ring that you can say anything you want and get away with it...without having to deal with the consequences.
Ahh, I can hear the screams from you already, Plett. But what about YOU, Hornet? What about me? I've always taken my lumps... and I've always backed up what I had to say. When Jim Williams came for my head because I told him to his face he was psychotic... I took a branding iron to the back, but I ended his career, didn't I? When I decided Mark Vizzack wasn't the right man for the CSWA World Championship, not only did I say so, but I took the title away from him. And when I spoke up and said that Chad Merritt was a money-hungry megalomaniac, at least I stood up and took action.
But you, you're the worst kind of activist, Plett. You talk all you want to make yourself feel important, but then your ADD kicks in and you move on to the next idiotic thought running through your synapses.
It's time to grow up, kid. It's time to realize that there are consequences to the J you talk.
And like any good father, I believe that if you spare the rod, you spoil the child. To take it down South, get ready for your whoopin, Mikey.
