Sometimes I
really wonder exactly what Chad thinks the X-Treme Wrestling Federation is-
a sport or a charity.
The very
nature of sport and sporting competitions is for a group of talented
individuals to compete in the name of determining just who is the best. The
best become champions, and the rest lick their wounds and try again. Some
succeed, some don't. It's how sport works, and it's how it has worked for
hundreds if not thousands of years. Despite all the glitz and glamor
it's surrounded with nowadays, wrestling is still a combat sport. That's one
stance I refuse to be anything but conservative about.
So why is it
then that Chad seems to be demanding the skilled be handicapped? Recently,
he cited a list of my achievements and claimed that I was 'handed' them.
Jonathyn Brown never won the Universal title for me. He didn't win the World
title for me. In fact, many of my title runs, including Universal and World
runs, were done in opposition of him. He didn't want me as
champion. As for Lord of the Ring? How in the world is that something that
was given to me? I entered a ring with forty other guys. All of them were
not hand-picked to fight- entry was open to all.
So how was I
gifted a win, Chad? How in the world did I beat thirty-nine guys with the
help of the boss? Did he pay millions to turn me into some kind of
undefeatable robot? Cause that's the only possible way I can see Jonathyn
having any credit for what I did. I won that, Chad, off the sweat of
my brow. Because I was good enough. Because I possessed the qualities needed
to succeed in a sport.
What exactly
is it you're proposing here, Chad? You talk about 'fair and just' - what is
more fair and just than trial at arms? Or maybe you're talking about who
gets title shots? Apparently I hog them all- which I find hilarious, since I
haven't had a Universal title shot since 2005. How's that fit into your
theory, Chad? If I was the Chosen One, I'd have been given Universal shot
after Universal shot whether I like it or now.
And besides-
where's the rules that say you can't have a title shot? Anybody on
that roster - anybody - can shoot for the Universal Championship if
they earn the points. And to earn points, all they must do is get enough
wins. So Grappling Gary, for example, could very well win the title one day.
There's absolutely nothing stopping him. What you are demanding, Chad, is
destroying the meritocracy that has made the X-Treme Wrestling Federation
what it is. You are proposing the destruction of the spirit of competition
and you are instead proposing to shift the focus onto a hand-picked group of
your own. Fact is, you are even more of a despot than you accuse
Jonathyn of being.
And
honestly- you have the gall to accuse me of not wanting to help upcoming
stars? You claim that I only train my 'friends'? You actually have the gall
to insinuate I'm only helping Rhiannon Ramsay because of her connections
with Heather Halliwell? I've got news for you, pal- I'm the XWF Head
Trainer. It is my job to train anybody who comes into my
office. I'm not allowed to say no. If I don't, I get fired- or sued. Hell,
even if you rocked up there, I'd have to train you. I wouldn't like it, but
I'd do it. Honestly, Chad, how would you know anyway? I don't see you at my
training sessions. How do you know who I train and who I don't?
These are
the poorly-thought out accusations that will make defeating you that much
easier, Chad. You live in a dream world- a delusionary fantasy- rather than
choosing to face the truth. And now you want to have the XWF shaped to fit
your fantasies. Well, it's not happening. Nobody in their right mind is
going to vote for what you want. There'd be riots if you tried to instigate
half of what you plan to in the X-Treme Wrestling Federation.
You are a
fraud and a liar, Chad. You play the emotional strings, and you claim to be
for 'truth and justice', but the honest truth is you're just out for your
own glory. If you got your way, I'm pretty sure Ranma Saotome would be
stripped of his title, I'd be fired, and you'd become 'interim' Universal
Champion within a week. Wrestlers will retire en-masse, and you will
inevitably rule a federation of the dead.
Ladies and
gentlemen, this is the future we face if Chad gets Jonathyn Brown ousted.
You all perform- or tune in- to the X-Treme Wrestling Federation for the
intense action that never slows down. That is what has made us the best of
the best for nigh upon ten years, and it's been Jonathyn Brown's leadership
that has helped make it so. If you expel him, you open the door to people
like Chad stripping this federation down and destroying the core of
competition. You risk seeing some of the finest competitors in the X-Treme
Wrestling Federation barred from competition to make the mediocre feel good
about themselves. You risk destroying the one thing that makes the XWF so
great- the action. If you do what Chad wants, you are pulling the handbrake
on the action.
