WWEA RP #4: "What must I do?"
Posted Jan 4, 2009
Match: RHane & Orton Vs. M Hardy & Edge

"We have, I fear, confused power with greatness." --Stewart L. Udall

"I'm just not sure what I'm doing anymore." RHane lays on a couch in a room where there's not much else visible but a few plaques on the walls. Possibly poorly manifested degrees or diplomas of some sort. He appears to be talking to himself out loud as if maybe saying it that way will make some sense to him. Maybe he is talking to another but if so there's no one in sight.

"I've been wrestling now for almost eight years and every single time I get a chance to shine my life gets twisted upside down. In a few weeks I get to go for a World title shot, but before I get to do that I have to face the current champion in a tag team match with another man who I have no prior affiliation with. I tried to talk to him about it and he seemed to thing that I was going to be the reason we will fail. It's as if I put too much pressure on myself and set myself up for failure."

"I want the World Championship more then anything else for the world. Its what I have aspired to do my whole life. Sure I have won the title a couple of times, but it was either short lived or through some ill-conceived way of doing it, or both. I try to be a good guy but winning the title, fulfilling my dream and realizing my fate is all I can think of. I will go through great lengths to do it and that is what I think might be my demise."

"Sometimes I wonder if its me. It seems like every time I get on top the company falls under. As if maybe I am some kind of disease to this industry. Am I crazy for thinking such thoughts? Maybe but everybody who ever achieved any greatness could be considered insane. Who's to say what makes a man crazy anyways? I don't know, but I do know that before I even get to win the title I have a few matches before I even get to try for it."

"The first is this tag team match I was talking about. I team with Randy Orton, a man who has shown greatness in this company time and time again. Yeah he might be a whiney bitch sometimes but, he knows what he has to do to get what he wants and for that I admire his charisma. I'm not so sure I can trust him though. I will have to keep my guard up on this one. We team up to square off against Edge and the reigning ECW Champion Matt Hardy."

"Edge has done very little in this company so far but he was known in another company as a champion. There's not much I can say about him that would make any significant purpose. He is just a man in my way. The fact that he and Matt Hardy hate each other is reason enough to prove that they will not be able to work together in this match. Orton and I have this match won before it even started. You know, to be honest, I heard some of what Edge has said about himself. He is looking for respect. He demands it. He feels like because he has been in the business now for so many years that instead of gaining respect he should have it. Some how or another he received a shot for the Intercontinental championship. I don't know what he did and I don't care. I find it funny though that after he complained for a while he was given that opportunity."

"Is it because his past shows he has been with a top company? What kind of organization is being run here? Almost sounds like favoritism to me rather then raw talent. I had to enter a contest to prove my worthiness. I fought in three matches on the same night. I worked long and hard to show that I am a top competitor in this company and I still get treated like dirt every day. Well, I'm sick of it and for that I have a personal vendetta against Edge. I hate both men in this match and I get to show it soon when I face them in the ring."

"There's whispers in the back that state that I sucker punched Matt Hardy last week in Iraq. That I am the reason that they lost their match last week. It goes to show how people only see what they want to see. It's as if people erased it from their memory banks or something. The week before he hit me with his patented Twist of Fate on the stage floor. I only came out to show my  role in what was to come for the next few weeks. He jumped the gun and I simply retaliated the following week. That's what happened. People will always see things the way they want to see it and I can't control that."

"I don't know what else to do.  To the lifeblood of this organization, the fans, civil blood makes civil hands unclean, because I attacked what they perceive as the "good guy", I am branded as the "bad guy",  regardless of the reason I attacked him retaliation or not.  I don't mean to sound disadvantageous of  the fans but Matt Hardy can attack anyone he chooses and the fans will love him, whereas if I attack anyone that the fans like I get insults and death threats.  Of course if Matt Hardy attacks someone the fans like, he'll have a nigh-existential meltdown like I fought through.  Torn between being the one that the fans love and the one's they want to lynch after the show."  ReDD RHane sits up in epiphanic realization.

"I just realized what I need to do.  It all seems so simple.  Why should I let the fans obstruct what I want to earn, what I want to accomplish.  The fans can stow their self-righteous attitudes.  They will not stand in my way to achieve greatness, good or evil.
