I have made this very point before...He, like most folks in this Fed, Myself included, has been done before. Originality went out the door with pants that fit correctly, sometime in the late 90s I believe.

CXC: You've got some nerve trying to play jaded know it all on me, playboy. I've seen dudes a lot better than you come through with the same attitude and get sent out the door like a preteen from a strip club. Step to me with that faux veteran tough talk again and I'll put fractures where you didn't know you had bones.

Apathy: Since this comment was directed at me, I'll take kindly to no-named persons not trying to fight my battles for me. Especially when I made an example of them, sentenced them to silence and merely ignoring me in the vague hope that they might not have to face me again.

Self-promotion will always be the name of the game, hoss. Hence why X isn't good at what he does. He's always just..there. Skulking in the background. Having to jump some small, new whelp to re-establish himself in the pecking order, ecetera. He did it with Vizzini. He did it with Austin. He's doing it now with Moses. Eventually, he'll probably move onward to you since lassitude is your mien and you'll eventually be slim pickens. X is a vulture. He never attempts to challenge anything greater than himself. He's always been content with playing the middle ground to make himself more impressive.

Back to your statement, however. That wasn't quite self-promotion. That was a fact. I've been here what..a few months? I've amassed a win total of 3-0 and am at the cusp of improving to 4-0. This isn't counting the victories I've had at the numerous house shows we have in between tapings. I am mentioned consistently, spoken to often, or spoken about because people don't like me very much. People are emulating my manner of speech, attempting to put their own skews of reality by "shooting" on others. And its becoming an unsightly trend that is causing some..unrest amongst a certain element backstage that likes to protect the mystique of the industry. I'm causing more havoc by myself than, well, HavOc did at full strength. In a short order of time. And I've never had to resort to common thug or monster-esque tactics to do so. I've done it based on success of backing up my words with actions. Often a rarity or uncommon in today's modern wrestler.

I don't cry and whine about what is owed to me. I take what I think I deserve. Original? No. Uncommon? Yes. I defy expectations every time I enter the ring. It was assumed that I would burn out quickly or lose interest. But I'll admit something to you, hoss.

This is the closest I've had to "fun" in nearly four years.

OOC: You guys are all horrible at shooting.

Stop it. Seriously. It was funny at first but IC'ly, CXC has never not shown up for a match. If you can't successfully blend in character with out of character information, don't do it at all.

OOC: Ok well he will half ass me to death then lol I could have sworn he did a no show this show but hey what do I know.

He did, OOC. IC he's going to job like a bitch.

I knew I wasn't crazy...So my comment aint so bad then and is actually pretty witty!

OOC: No. It isn't witty at all. It's stupid. And it's going to get you ass reamed in trash talk for being wrong.

It's like correcting people in spelling when the phonetics of the word are correct.

Are you talking to me Son?? You must be talking to me because I don't see anyone else around. I may be "NEW" to you but I have been around this game called pro wrestling quite a long time my man. I can play jaded dyed in the wool know it all if I damn well please because I have been to the top of the mountain and seen what there is to see on multiple occasions. I will step to whomever I damn well please, what are ya gonna do, playa, NO SHOW on me!! Color me frightened!!

CXC: Sorry.

Been to the mountain top? Doubt it. Your record and your monkey see monkey do "Shooting will get me some cred" game plan say otherwise.

No Show? Again, doubt it. I'd be too embarrassed to pass up an easy win like you. Unlike many others, I still follow the division standings actively, so to me it's a numbers game. Don't tempt me into doling out effort. I could sneeze on a keyboard against your life's work and still remain far from being your SECOND WIN

Don't pretend like you understand me or know anything about me. So annoying.

CXC: You've proved my point, you clown. Like you said, pinning me would make you somebody. But me beating you would just be a demonstration in unbalanced aggression that earns me absolutely nothing, except perhaps scorn from my peers for even accepting a match with you. In many peoples' eyes, you've already been characterized as a constant bottom rung, so if you're gonna bring the ladder analogy into play, best take a look at where you stand first before trying to sum up what I'm doing over here.

Oh yeah, 40's and baggy pants...cute. That shit went out of style before Dante Jones' staggering ass started phoning it in. I'm about as impressed with you as I am with him.

CXC: All the more reason for him to him not to speculate the nature of this place and keep his fuckin' mouth shut am I right?

OOC: So...
When did the Light Heavyweight Championship make a comeback?

Considering my next match is against Skinemax I am arrogantly positive that I will have notched said second win before you swagger down to the ring with a 40 of OE and your pants halfway down your ass. I relish the challange of having a true competitor like yourself across from me in the ring. Putting you flat on your back after beating a wet fart like Bryce Thorne twice will give some legitimacy to the Pheonix like quality my last few matches have had. To say I beat CXC, to say I put him flat on his ass in the ring, would truly legitimize my staying power to this Federation and tools like that Apathy gorilla would jump up off my back. You see its all about climbing up that ladder and you my man, no matter how good you see yourself, are just another rung on that ladder!

Apathy: Slurring your words (like phoenix and challenge) aside, you claim to not live in the past yet reference the immediate history of you defeating one guy once as a reason to claim legitimacy.

Furthermore, you also stated that you've been around this game for a long time as if to say that your "wealth" in wisdom overcomes your utter lack of actual skill. And then claim to live in the here and now when this entire argument started over you doing some sort of in depth analysis over my character and, overall, the history of Full Metal Wrestling. As if anyone gives a flying damn about you or your opinions or they wanted you to chime in with your two cents worth nothin'.

Silence your irksome noise, pest. It's becoming more drug addled rambling than actual trash talk with any sort of direction. First, you try to barkin' up my tree. You get smacked down quicker than a bit of flatulence trapped in a tornado. And then you attempt to emulate me or form some sort of bond, kinship, or manner of understanding to me by suffering the fate of being in my way.

You are unimportant. File yourself under "irrelevant".

Apathy: Except I don't openly share my foils to make myself a target.

You do.

I relish the day when you're worthy enough to even matter to me. Until that day, we may very well see our first Hispanic President of the United States, the first openly homosexual multi-platinum hip hop star, the first manned mission to a far off galaxy, and the first glimpse of the land of the dead for the living.

Given that all of these are fuckin' improbable to impossible, that's about the same chance you ever have of mattering to me.

Of course. I start out my day by believing seven impossible things. Just for shits and giggles. Maybe I should add number seven right now?

No 1. - The world is flat.
No 2. - Triangles are round.
No 3 - Seth Omega will be Full Metal Wrestling Champion one day.
No 4. - Aidan Browne will develop a better sense of humor.
No 5. - [Insert name here] will eventually learn how to use words like [insert word here] in a sentence.
No 6. - I will hate stupid people less.
No 7. The Nameless Wonder will matter enough to me to acknowledge he even has a name.

Apathy: It's only overly worded if you are the mental equivalent of a typing monkey.

I'm a very reactionary person. Sue me. If I were more emotionally invested in you, I'd elaborate and not use the word "poop" like a prepubescent child when directing speech towards you.

Hrm. Forty-six words for a guy who can speak and type at one hundred fifty-seven words per minute. Not even half the effort I usually put in. It still isn't even half.

Cease.

Apathy: Except in your haste to prove me wrong, you neglect to remember I never mention you by name.

You're nameless. By that token, I could be speaking about any worthless nobody in the undercard.

Try again.

Good rest. You guys should try it some day. Grab yourself a beautiful woman and just crash out for a little while. Recover from some injuries, disappear off the face of the Earth and just relax. Nothing like a day in bed to give you some prespective on things.


Well, time to get on with my day. Places to go and people to see.

OOC: Holy shit!! I just marked out for Harley's return!!! LOL

OOC: I miss him too.
