Allow me to introduce myself…
(Fade in on Dakota, who is doing his usual pacing and as we approach closer, we see that he does not appear to be a happy camper… The brick wall we see behind him is the same one from previous promos, the NWL logo, along with the NEH symbol spray painted on the wall, nothing fancy, nothing elaborate just a plain old decaying brick wall… Mid pace he stops and glares into the camera, what seems like an eternity passes before he speaks…)
DAKOTA: Jack Townsend… (Smirks) Who the hell are you!? What makes you think that you can even compete in my league!? Are you going on the assumption that since Medina booked you to face me, that you stand a snowball’s chance in hell to even, keep pace with me!? Not even close amigo, not even close… Hey Jack, you need to understand one thing and that is when you or anyone else for that matter is booked to face me, you better be prepared for anything and everything…
(Continues to pace, he starts to rub his hands together; his eyes narrow and slowly a sneer curls his lips…)
DAKOTA: One thing that you will soon come to learn as well as experience is that I play for keeps; you see Jack I don’t have time to get involved in some freaking BS melodrama soap opera… I came here for one purpose and no one Jack and I do mean NO ONE, is going to stand in my way… Now there’s not much I can say about you, I don’t know you and you most likely are saying the same thing, so allow me to introduce myself… I am Dakota… Dakota Smith, to be exact but to you and everyone else I am Dakota… I do not intend on making friends, nor am I looking to be popular; inside the ring as well as outside the ring, you are fair game as far as I am concerned… I do not hold back, so my advice to you is to do the same, maybe then, just maybe you might be able to crawl out of the ring by the skin of your teeth, that’s the ONLY way that your snowball stands a chance in my little hell…
(He continues his pacing, only more slowly, more methodical… His eyes narrow and with a deadpan expression says…)
DAKOTA: I don’t care about the refs, I don’t care about any damn rules that they will try to enforce, I go by my own rules… I will take you out any way that I can Jack, if the opportunity doesn’t arise, I will MAKE that opportunity surface and I will take full advantage of it… I take this wrestling thing very seriously, it’s not a game with me, it’s a way of life, I don’t care what the fans have to say, and I give a rat’s ass about what they think about me, the same applies to the NWL… I didn’t come here to please anyone, I’m not here to win any damn popularity contest nor do I care whether anyone here likes me or not… I was born alone and alone I will die, so in between I am going to raise as much hell as I can; now whether you care to believe anything I have said and will say in the near future is entirely up to you, I was told that I had to do these dumb ass promos, so here I am Jack… But not to worry, I am not going to insult ya, I am not going to get into any damn mind games with ya either; nah Jack, I am going to just say what I have to say and let my actions speak for me… Call me arrogant, call me egoistical; call me whatever the hell you want, say whatever the hell you want, nothing changes Jack… You need to truly comprehend that Jack Townsend, you need to be at least made aware of what you are about to confront at the NWL Combat event, in front of all those peons at the Elks Lodge in Queens I am going to dot the first “i” and you will be that dot Jack…
(At this point we begin to zoom out; Dakota just stares into the camera with cold hard eyes… We keep zooming out and the last thing we see are his eyes, as we slowly fade to black…)
