The scene opens up in the office of Stephen Meece, Nathaniel Havok’s attorney. As the two sit across from each other, Meece hangs up his LAN-line phone, and looks at Nathaniel with a disappointed look on his face.
Meece: They say that there’s still nothing they can do. It looks like you’re just going to have to tough this one out.
Havok: Give me a God damn break! The world sees that this is a conspiracy against the Enforcer of Sorrow, but they still don’t want to buy into it! Not only am I hearing it from them, but now I have to hear it from you Steve? This is fucked up, this is real fucked up.
Meece: If you ask me, I just say that you bust your ass this week. Bust your ass, beat both of them at the pay per view, and make them eat their own words!
Havok: Oh, I’m going to beat both of them! I’m going to beat them so bad, that Action Packed Wrestling will never see either one of them again! Bank on it, Steve!
Meece: If I were a betting man, trust me, I would. But you need to be able to separate the two for now. Separate them, concentrate on one for now, and then move onto the other.
Havok: That should be easy. The only real threat that I’ve got at Christmas Chaos, is Pence Weatherlight. Jeff should be a cakewalk. I’m better than him, and I always have been. That’s the only reason this match is taking place, in the first place! He wants me weakened enough so he can beat me, and tell the world that he was always better than me. Just the thing that a bitch like him would do! Typical Jeff, if I may say so myself.
Meece: Regardless, stay focused, stay sharp. I know you’ve been working with Chaz lately, and I know that his corporation has done a lot for you. So don’t disappoint them, let them know that they have aligned themselves with the best in Action Packed Wrestling.
Havok: You know I will. Pence Weatherlight has no idea what he’s in for, NO IDEA! When he took that title from me, he took my lifeline! I need that title, Steven! It’s what I live for, what I breath for, and I will die for the God damn title if I have to! Pence Weatherlight could never say anything similar, without being called a damn liar. He doesn’t have any heart, that’s his problem. When he left APW, he lost all the heart that he once had for this business. He doesn’t have it anymore, and I’m going to prove that his title victory over me, was a complete fluke.
Meece: Well fluke or not, anything can happen in professional wrestling. I’ve been with you long enough to know that much!
Havok: There’s nothing that Pence Weatherlight could do at the pay per view, that’s going to surprise me. I’ve seen him at his best, and I’ve seen him at his worst. He doesn’t have what it takes me to beat me twice in a row. I’ve proven that before, and I’ll prove it again come Christmas Chaos. He and I have been going back and forth for quite sometime now, and I think I’ve got bigger fish to fry. Pence is a small fish, in MY large pond. Notice how I said “my”, Steve?
Meece: I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. Are you sure that you want to go into this with Chaz? You’re going to owe him millions of dollars, if you buy APW out from under Jeff, using his money. Are you sure that you want to owe another professional wrestler THAT kind of money?
Havok: Chaz Dillinger was never brought in JUST to have my back, inside of the ring. We brought him into the APW fold with three things in mind, Steve. Number one, to get him into the best promotion that professional wrestling has today. Number two, to dominate APW. Number two leads us right into number three, to take over and eventually buy Action Packed Wrestling. To answer your question though, I’ve thought about it. I’ve actually spent a lot of time thinking about JUST that. But I can’t see the negatives outweighing the positives, I just can’t. Chaz Dillinger brings so much more to the table, he brings so many cards to add to our deck. You’re not taking anything on, so don’t worry about it anyways!
Meece: But I am, Nathaniel! I work for you, FULL-TIME! If Chaz Dillinger takes you under, I go under to! I’ll go down right along side you, then what do I do? I’ve got a family to feed, I’ve got bills to pay Nathaniel!
Havok: Is this the point where I question your loyalties to me? Is this the point where I say “to hell with you”, walk out, and leave you without a job RIGHT NOW? Give it a rest, Steve! You’ve been with me for ten God damn years already, and now is not the time to start questioning how I do my job! You just continue to do your damn job, sit behind that desk, and work… FOR ME! Understand?
Steven stays quiet, shaking his head and agreeing with the Enforcer of Sorrow.
Havok: I’ve got two matches at the pay per view, and I don’t need you adding extra bullshit onto my plate! It’s already full enough, and I’ve got a lot to deal with! But don’t worry Steve, after Christmas Chaos, it will all turn out fine. Trust me, have I ever steered you wrong before?
Meece: No, but I’d like for it to stay that way!
Havok: You know what I’ve got planned! You’ve known all along how things are going to go down! I’ve got Jeff right where I want him, we don’t need to worry about the APW Presi-DON’T.
Nathaniel chuckles.
Havok: Pence Weatherlight has the ass beating of his life coming his way, at the pay per view. I owe him one, and he’s got MY Xtreme Championship. I worked too God damn hard to bring honor back to that belt, and I’ll be damned if he’s going to shatter everything that I’ve done! Pence Weatherlight holding the APW Xtreme Championship, discredits not only that damn belt, but the company as well! When someone can be beat half-to-death by someone, and then get a return match FOR the title, that discredit’s the company enough! But for him to actually WIN the title, that’s a whole different story! He’s done enough damage to APW, and it’s time for a change!
Meece: So what is your plan?
Havok: The plan is to take back the Xtreme Championship. Then, the plan is to take out Hurricane Jeff. With Jeff gone, I’ll buy everything associated with APW. From the film catalogue, to the very APW shirt on Jeff’s back! I’ll own it all, and do with it what I see fit! Then, I resurrect the Global Wrestling Alliance, replacing Action Packed Wrestling COMPLETELY! I’ll own the place, I’ll be able to do whatever the hell I want! And do you know what else that means, Steve? It means that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be able to stop me. That’s what that means.
Meece: But you’re going to have to SURVIVE being in the ring with Pence, under such strenuous circumstances. I don’t know if Jeff and Pence ALREADY have something planned for you! Who’s to say that they don’t have a plan already, that makes sure you wont be able to face Jeff? Who’s not to say that they’ve got some tricks up their sleeves as well?
Havok: It doesn’t matter, Steve. My allies will be watching their every move. Our boys will have my back, including Chaz’s ENTIRE corporation. Jeff and Pence could have an army ready to strike on a moments notice, but what I’ve got is much more powerful. After the pay per view, I will be the soul entity in this triangle that’s still standing! As it should be, I will be the one who comes out the soul survivor! Not Jeff, not Pence, it will be me!
Nathaniel leans forward in his chair, no longer looking as relaxed as he once was. He’s anxious, and who could blame him?
Havok: You don’t get it, Steve! This plan is rock-solid! There’s nothing that Jeff could do now, I’ve already won the war! With Hurricane Jeff out of the way, there’s no one who’s going to be able to stop me from taking this place over. All you’ve got to do, is have a little faith in me. I’ve never done you wrong before, and I’m not going to start now. Steve, this is the opportunity of a lifetime! I’ve really stuck my balls out there on this one, because there’s so many mountains that we could climb if successful! Without any risk, there’s no reward. We’re reaching for the stars, Steve. Have a little faith, would you?
Meece: I’m sorry, Nathaniel. I know that I shouldn’t doubt you. But I just can’t help but think about WHY Jeff would be so confident about this match! He seems so ready, so tough! He’s like a different person now! What could make him be this way, you know what I’m saying? I’m just worried about what he might have planned, that’s all. Given your tremendous track record, I don’t see how a man who’s been in and out of retirement more times than Terry Funk, could ever be so confident.
Havok: It’s because he gets his shot at me RIGHT AFTER my Xtreme Championship match! That’s why! He thinks that Pence is going to wear me down enough for him to go in for the kill. But what he doesn’t know, is that I’m already prepared for all of that. I’m in the best shape of my life. On top of that, I’m just now entering the prime of my career! Jeff’s career has been dead for years, no one cares about him anymore! He’s like the long lost puppy, returning to the family after they’ve already moved on. There’s a new pup in town, and he needs to learn when to take a step back!
Nathaniel scoffs.
Havok: This business has been ruined by egotistical fuck-sticks, who don’t know how to follow, maintain, and respect the tradition of this business! Guys like Pence Weatherlight, who only work for themselves, and not for the fans. Pence will go out there and beat you however he sees fit, not caring whether or not the fans get what they paid to see. Me, I’m the exact opposite. I win at all costs, usually making my matches the match of the night. Pence should consider himself lucky, being able to step into the ring with me at a pay per view! Everyone knows that I raise the bar when it’s pay per view time! This time around, Pence gets his fifteen minutes of fame! But who knows, it might not even take me that long! With how hard I’ve been training, I don’t see why I couldn’t wipe the mat with him in under ten minutes! You know what I’m saying?
Meece: I know that you’ve been training very hard for this, I’m not going to discount what you’ve done. But I think you need to go into this thinking more about what the ultimate goal is, rather than thinking about what you’re going to do AFTER you reach the ultimate goal. Underestimating Pence, is what made you lose the Xtreme Championship in the first place! Do it again, and there might not be an Xtreme Championship in your future.
Havok: How could you say that? So after everything that I’ve told you, you’re going to sit there and inform me that it’s went through one ear and out the other? Have you even been paying attention over the past ten years, or have you just had your thumb shoved up your ass?
Meece: I’m not saying that you don’t…
Havok: Over the past ten years, you’ve never doubted me! But the deck has never been stacked against us so much. Are you telling me that when things get tough, you’re going to crack under the pressure? If so, what fucking good are you to me? Tell me how in the hell you could be an asset to me, if all you’re going to do is panic? The line in the sand has been drawn Steve, and we’ve already stepped over it! Jeff thinks that I was the one that attacked him, but I wasn’t. However, I do know who did. Maybe I’ve got this coming, after all the plotting we’ve done, but this is what we WANTED it to come to, remember?
Steven shakes his head, agreeing with Nathaniel.
Havok: Sure, the double-booking wasn’t supposed to be apart of our plans, but we can work with it. Pence Weatherlight has it coming, he already knows that. I owe Pence, I owe him for ruining my title reign! I had plans of beating the title reign set by Chris Cyrus, and he put a chink in the armor of that plan! So now it’s time for payback, and I never lose when it comes to payback. You know that! We’re going to go forward with all of our plans, Steven. We’ve placed all of our eggs into one basket, and there’s no turning back now. If we turn back, they’ll ruin us. They’ll ban together, and ruin everything we’ve worked for. Are you willing to take that risk? Are you willing to allow them to ruin everything that we’ve worked for, all because we decided to retreat at the very last second?
Meece looks at Nathaniel, shaking his head as to say “No, I’m not”.
Havok: I for one, am not willing to risk it. I am however, willing to risk EVERYTHING for the reward that will follow. And Steve, that’s exactly what we’re going to do. I’ve never seen so clear, I’ve never seen so many things the way that I do right now! Jeff is everything that I’ve always said that he is, he’s all of that and much more! He’s began to show his true colors, taking me out unexpectedly two weeks in a row! It’s obvious to the entire world, that Pence led me into that trap on the last Overdrive. Jeff was waiting, knowing that Pence would eventually sucker me back there. And once he saw his shot, he took it. I don’t blame him, I just wish that I would have thought of it first.
Meece: But where was Chaz at? Why wasn’t here there to…
Havok: I told Chaz that I wouldn’t need him. Chaz beating Arcadia on Asylum, was exactly what we needed to put his career on the right path. Now that people are seeing him in a different light, he should have no problem garnering the attention and respect that he rightfully deserves. That was my call, Steve. There was nothing that he could have done, sitting in a gym in New York City. I didn’t expect Jeff and Pence to have a plan. I guess that I underestimated their intelligence, but who couldn’t do that? They make it so easy! But trust me, that’s not a mistake I will be making at the pay per view. Knowing what I know now, makes me all that much more dangerous. While you try to convince me that you’re not discounting my abilities and intelligence, I will sit here with a straight face and tell you that I FOR SURE won’t be doing that! Rather, I’ll be prepared for anything that either one of them decides to dish my way!
Meece: And you’re sure that things are REALLY ready to go?
Havok: If you’re questioning their loyalties to me, they already know that there’s no turning back now. Chaz without-a-doubt is good to go. And the other?
Nathaniel scoffs once again.
Havok: He’s already put himself in a “go” position, by doing what he did to Jeff! There’s no way he could ever back out now. Besides, I’m sure that he already knows what would happen if he did. Not only would I “out” him for doing what he did to Jeff, but I’d make his life a living hell as well. No one turns their back on me, keep that in mind Steve.
Meece: I’ll stick with you until the very end, Nathaniel. Even through everything we’ve been through over the past two years. I stuck with you through everything with Logan Rutherford, Eryck Ryeth, and Colson Toafa. Not only that, I stuck with you through your injuries, just a few months into your Action Packed Wrestling run! I’ve been through it all, right along side of you. I wont be jumping ship, anytime soon. I promise.
Havok: I know you wont. Just do me a favor Steve, NEVER doubt me. Okay? Doubting me is the only way to change my opinion about you. You’ve been loyal to me for years, and I’ve returned the gesture by never letting you down. Nothing is going to change this time, nothing’s going to change at all. All of my attention and focus will be on Pence Weatherlight. At Christmas Chaos, the entire world finds out exactly who it was that attacked President Jeff! When he finally shows his face, Jeff will realize that he doesn’t have what it takes to fight this war, let-alone win it! That gives me the opportunity to focus on winning back my Xtreme Championship, rather than worrying about BOTH men. Jeff will be simple, simple as well as shocked. What else does Nathaniel Havok do, other than make history? It’s time for us to step up our game, and let the entire world know that Nathaniel Havok’s organization is for real! It’s time to let the world know who’s taking over! Soon, I bring the present and the future of this business together as one! We will unite under MY banner, to form the Cult of Personality! A cult that no one has ever seen before, and a cult that will never be recreated again! We will own Action Packed Wrestling, and no one will be able to stop us! This is what I’ve worked my entire career to do! All of the championships, all of the accomplishments, they wont mean a God damn thing unless I overcome these odds at Christmas Chaos! They wont mean anything if I’m not able to uphold this promise that I’ve made to the entire world! They might not know that they need a change, but they most certainly do! The APW fans are so stuck in their ways, that they have no clue what it would be like to shake things up a bit! Jeff has lost his mind, and it’s caused him to become out of touch with his product. These fans need a man that’s going to work for them, running Action Packed Wrestling. That man is me, and I’m going to do what I set out to do!
Meece: Again, with all do respect, don’t you believe that failing will tarnish your legacy, and the legacy of the Global Wrestling Alliance?
Havok: How many times do I have to tell you, Steve? If you go into something thinking of failure, you’re going to fail. Failure isn’t an option with me, Steve! I’m not going to be letting anyone in my organization down! Everything is going to fall into place as it should, no matter what Jeff or Pence try to do.
Meece: You need to…
Havok: I need to be thinking about Pence Weatherlight, and not thinking about killing my attorney. You need to remember what your job is, and start doing it again. I guess it’s my fault that I’ve allowed you to get so personally close to me. But not anymore, Steve. It’s time for us to BOTH realize who is who in this relationship. You’re the lawyer, I’m the employer, and that’s that! So for both of our sakes, do your God damn job, and work for me. You take care of the legalities, and I’ll take care of the dishing out the ass kicking’s, okay?
Steve puts his head down in disappointment, much to the displeasure of the Enforcer of Sorrow.
Havok: You better pick that God damn chin up off the ground, boy! If you expect to stick around, you might want to find that confidence, again. Otherwise, I’m not so sure you’ll be employed after the pay per view. Get what I’m saying?
Meece shakes his head, understanding what Nathaniel has said.
Havok: Pence Weatherlight will be the FORMER Xtreme Champion, after Christmas Chaos. Right now, all he’s doing is keeping my Xtreme Championship warm for me. For right now, he might be the champion, but what’s he going to say when he can’t even defend it successfully once? What’s he going to say when I beat him for the title, without him every PROVING that he is worthy of the championship? I said it to Biggs, and I’ll say it again…
…To be a champion, you have to prove it first. Me, I had plenty of title defenses. I beat plenty of men, with the title on the line! Pence, he hasn’t even done it once! Pence can’t say that he’s a true champion! I’ll be his first title defense, and then we’ll see what kind of Champion he is! What he needs to be doing, is polishing up my belt for me! Soon, I’m going to have that title back! Soon, I’m going to make sure he never tries to get in my way again! And soon, I’m going to show the entire professional wrestling world exactly why I call myself the BEST in the world! It’s time for a new era in professional wrestling, and it all starts with me! It all starts with this upcoming pay per view, where I change the course of history forever! I’ve got a mind for this business, like none other! There’s not a soul alive who has more passion and desire for this business, than the Enforcer of Sorrow! I’ve got the heart that Pence Weatherlight lacks, and it’s going to be what costs him the Xtreme Championship. He might have gotten lucky, when he beat me for the title. But now, he’s got to do it yet again. I’ve proven before that lighting doesn’t strike in the same place twice, but I guess that I’ve got to do it again.
Nathaniel chuckles to himself, as Steven Meece continues to listen.
Havok: He doesn’t stand a chance. I’m better than Pence, and Pence knows this. What he needs to do, is hang the boots up for good. He’s had gold, and he’s about to lose it once again. After this run, it’s time to say goodbye. But if he forces me to do it, I’ll have no problem with forcing him out of Action Packed Wrestling MYSELF. If Pence leaves me no choice, then that’s exactly what I’m going to do. The Xtreme Championship means the world to me, and no one is going to stand in my way. I’d cripple my own grandmother for that God damn belt! So what does that say for what I could do to Pence Weatherlight? After Christmas Chaos, neither Pence nor Jeff will be around, to remain a thorn in my side! I’ll take back my title, and I’ll take the “APW President” title away from the boss! December 18th is going to be a night of joy for this organization, as we will expand beyond anyone’s wildest imagination! Soon, we will rule the world of professional wrestling! Ready or not, here we come Steve! If you’re on board, I suggest you buckle your seatbelt. It’s about to be a bumpy ride!
Nathaniel looks at his lawyer with a cocky look on his face as the scene fades to black.
Meece: They say that there’s still nothing they can do. It looks like you’re just going to have to tough this one out.
Havok: Give me a God damn break! The world sees that this is a conspiracy against the Enforcer of Sorrow, but they still don’t want to buy into it! Not only am I hearing it from them, but now I have to hear it from you Steve? This is fucked up, this is real fucked up.
Meece: If you ask me, I just say that you bust your ass this week. Bust your ass, beat both of them at the pay per view, and make them eat their own words!
Havok: Oh, I’m going to beat both of them! I’m going to beat them so bad, that Action Packed Wrestling will never see either one of them again! Bank on it, Steve!
Meece: If I were a betting man, trust me, I would. But you need to be able to separate the two for now. Separate them, concentrate on one for now, and then move onto the other.
Havok: That should be easy. The only real threat that I’ve got at Christmas Chaos, is Pence Weatherlight. Jeff should be a cakewalk. I’m better than him, and I always have been.

It’s what I live for, what I breath for, and I will die for the God damn title if I have to! Pence Weatherlight could never say anything similar, without being called a damn liar. He doesn’t have any heart, that’s his problem. When he left APW, he lost all the heart that he once had for this business.

Havok: Is this the point where I question your loyalties to me? Is this the point where I say “to hell with you”, walk out, and leave you without a job RIGHT NOW? Give it a rest, Steve! You’ve been with me for ten God damn years already, and now is not the time to start questioning how I do my job! You just continue to do your damn job, sit behind that desk, and work… FOR ME!

Steven stays quiet, shaking his head and agreeing with the Enforcer of Sorrow.

And do you know what else that means, Steve? It means that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be able to stop me. That’s what that means.

With Hurricane Jeff out of the way, there’s no one who’s going to be able to stop me from taking this place over. All you’ve got to do, is have a little faith in me.

He’s like a different person now! What could make him be this way, you know what I’m saying? I’m just worried about what he might have planned, that’s all. Given your tremendous track record, I don’t see how a man who’s been in and out of retirement more times than Terry Funk, could ever be so confident.

There’s a new pup in town, and he needs to learn when to take a step back!
Nathaniel scoffs.
Havok: This business has been ruined by egotistical fuck-sticks, who don’t know how to follow, maintain, and respect the tradition of this business! Guys like Pence Weatherlight, who only work for themselves, and not for the fans.

With how hard I’ve been training, I don’t see why I couldn’t wipe the mat with him in under ten minutes! You know what I’m saying?
Meece: I know that you’ve been training very hard for this, I’m not going to discount what you’ve done. But I think you need to go into this thinking more about what the ultimate goal is, rather than thinking about what you’re going to do AFTER you reach the ultimate goal. Underestimating Pence, is what made you lose the Xtreme Championship in the first place! Do it again, and there might not be an Xtreme Championship in your future.
Havok: How could you say that? So after everything that I’ve told you, you’re going to sit there and inform me that it’s went through one ear and out the other? Have you even been paying attention over the past ten years, or have you just had your thumb shoved up your ass?
Meece: I’m not saying that you don’t…
Havok: Over the past ten years, you’ve never doubted me! But the deck has never been stacked against us so much. Are you telling me that when things get tough, you’re going to crack under the pressure? If so, what fucking good are you to me? Tell me how in the hell you could be an asset to me, if all you’re going to do is panic? The line in the sand has been drawn Steve, and we’ve already stepped over it! Jeff thinks that I was the one that attacked him, but I wasn’t. However, I do know who did. Maybe I’ve got this coming, after all the plotting we’ve done, but this is what we WANTED it to come to, remember?
Steven shakes his head, agreeing with Nathaniel.
Havok: Sure, the double-booking wasn’t supposed to be apart of our plans, but we can work with it. Pence Weatherlight has it coming, he already knows that. I owe Pence, I owe him for ruining my title reign! I had plans of beating the title reign set by Chris Cyrus, and he put a chink in the armor of that plan! So now it’s time for payback, and I never lose when it comes to payback. You know that! We’re going to go forward with all of our plans, Steven. We’ve placed all of our eggs into one basket, and there’s no turning back now. If we turn back, they’ll ruin us. They’ll ban together, and ruin everything we’ve worked for. Are you willing to take that risk? Are you willing to allow them to ruin everything that we’ve worked for, all because we decided to retreat at the very last second?
Meece looks at Nathaniel, shaking his head as to say “No, I’m not”.
Havok: I for one, am not willing to risk it. I am however, willing to risk EVERYTHING for the reward that will follow. And Steve, that’s exactly what we’re going to do. I’ve never seen so clear, I’ve never seen so many things the way that I do right now! Jeff is everything that I’ve always said that he is, he’s all of that and much more! He’s began to show his true colors, taking me out unexpectedly two weeks in a row! It’s obvious to the entire world, that Pence led me into that trap on the last Overdrive. Jeff was waiting, knowing that Pence would eventually sucker me back there. And once he saw his shot, he took it. I don’t blame him, I just wish that I would have thought of it first.
Meece: But where was Chaz at? Why wasn’t here there to…
Havok: I told Chaz that I wouldn’t need him. Chaz beating Arcadia on Asylum, was exactly what we needed to put his career on the right path. Now that people are seeing him in a different light, he should have no problem garnering the attention and respect that he rightfully deserves. That was my call, Steve. There was nothing that he could have done, sitting in a gym in New York City. I didn’t expect Jeff and Pence to have a plan. I guess that I underestimated their intelligence, but who couldn’t do that? They make it so easy! But trust me, that’s not a mistake I will be making at the pay per view. Knowing what I know now, makes me all that much more dangerous. While you try to convince me that you’re not discounting my abilities and intelligence, I will sit here with a straight face and tell you that I FOR SURE won’t be doing that! Rather, I’ll be prepared for anything that either one of them decides to dish my way!
Meece: And you’re sure that things are REALLY ready to go?
Havok: If you’re questioning their loyalties to me, they already know that there’s no turning back now. Chaz without-a-doubt is good to go. And the other?
Nathaniel scoffs once again.
Havok: He’s already put himself in a “go” position, by doing what he did to Jeff! There’s no way he could ever back out now. Besides, I’m sure that he already knows what would happen if he did. Not only would I “out” him for doing what he did to Jeff, but I’d make his life a living hell as well. No one turns their back on me, keep that in mind Steve.
Meece: I’ll stick with you until the very end, Nathaniel. Even through everything we’ve been through over the past two years. I stuck with you through everything with Logan Rutherford, Eryck Ryeth, and Colson Toafa. Not only that, I stuck with you through your injuries, just a few months into your Action Packed Wrestling run! I’ve been through it all, right along side of you. I wont be jumping ship, anytime soon. I promise.
Havok: I know you wont. Just do me a favor Steve, NEVER doubt me. Okay? Doubting me is the only way to change my opinion about you. You’ve been loyal to me for years, and I’ve returned the gesture by never letting you down. Nothing is going to change this time, nothing’s going to change at all. All of my attention and focus will be on Pence Weatherlight. At Christmas Chaos, the entire world finds out exactly who it was that attacked President Jeff! When he finally shows his face, Jeff will realize that he doesn’t have what it takes to fight this war, let-alone win it! That gives me the opportunity to focus on winning back my Xtreme Championship, rather than worrying about BOTH men. Jeff will be simple, simple as well as shocked. What else does Nathaniel Havok do, other than make history? It’s time for us to step up our game, and let the entire world know that Nathaniel Havok’s organization is for real! It’s time to let the world know who’s taking over! Soon, I bring the present and the future of this business together as one! We will unite under MY banner, to form the Cult of Personality! A cult that no one has ever seen before, and a cult that will never be recreated again! We will own Action Packed Wrestling, and no one will be able to stop us! This is what I’ve worked my entire career to do! All of the championships, all of the accomplishments, they wont mean a God damn thing unless I overcome these odds at Christmas Chaos! They wont mean anything if I’m not able to uphold this promise that I’ve made to the entire world! They might not know that they need a change, but they most certainly do! The APW fans are so stuck in their ways, that they have no clue what it would be like to shake things up a bit! Jeff has lost his mind, and it’s caused him to become out of touch with his product. These fans need a man that’s going to work for them, running Action Packed Wrestling. That man is me, and I’m going to do what I set out to do!
Meece: Again, with all do respect, don’t you believe that failing will tarnish your legacy, and the legacy of the Global Wrestling Alliance?
Havok: How many times do I have to tell you, Steve? If you go into something thinking of failure, you’re going to fail. Failure isn’t an option with me, Steve! I’m not going to be letting anyone in my organization down! Everything is going to fall into place as it should, no matter what Jeff or Pence try to do.
Meece: You need to…
Havok: I need to be thinking about Pence Weatherlight, and not thinking about killing my attorney. You need to remember what your job is, and start doing it again. I guess it’s my fault that I’ve allowed you to get so personally close to me. But not anymore, Steve. It’s time for us to BOTH realize who is who in this relationship. You’re the lawyer, I’m the employer, and that’s that! So for both of our sakes, do your God damn job, and work for me. You take care of the legalities, and I’ll take care of the dishing out the ass kicking’s, okay?
Steve puts his head down in disappointment, much to the displeasure of the Enforcer of Sorrow.
Havok: You better pick that God damn chin up off the ground, boy! If you expect to stick around, you might want to find that confidence, again. Otherwise, I’m not so sure you’ll be employed after the pay per view. Get what I’m saying?
Meece shakes his head, understanding what Nathaniel has said.
Havok: Pence Weatherlight will be the FORMER Xtreme Champion, after Christmas Chaos. Right now, all he’s doing is keeping my Xtreme Championship warm for me. For right now, he might be the champion, but what’s he going to say when he can’t even defend it successfully once? What’s he going to say when I beat him for the title, without him every PROVING that he is worthy of the championship? I said it to Biggs, and I’ll say it again…
…To be a champion, you have to prove it first. Me, I had plenty of title defenses. I beat plenty of men, with the title on the line! Pence, he hasn’t even done it once! Pence can’t say that he’s a true champion! I’ll be his first title defense, and then we’ll see what kind of Champion he is! What he needs to be doing, is polishing up my belt for me! Soon, I’m going to have that title back! Soon, I’m going to make sure he never tries to get in my way again! And soon, I’m going to show the entire professional wrestling world exactly why I call myself the BEST in the world! It’s time for a new era in professional wrestling, and it all starts with me! It all starts with this upcoming pay per view, where I change the course of history forever! I’ve got a mind for this business, like none other! There’s not a soul alive who has more passion and desire for this business, than the Enforcer of Sorrow! I’ve got the heart that Pence Weatherlight lacks, and it’s going to be what costs him the Xtreme Championship. He might have gotten lucky, when he beat me for the title. But now, he’s got to do it yet again. I’ve proven before that lighting doesn’t strike in the same place twice, but I guess that I’ve got to do it again.
Nathaniel chuckles to himself, as Steven Meece continues to listen.
Havok: He doesn’t stand a chance. I’m better than Pence, and Pence knows this. What he needs to do, is hang the boots up for good. He’s had gold, and he’s about to lose it once again. After this run, it’s time to say goodbye. But if he forces me to do it, I’ll have no problem with forcing him out of Action Packed Wrestling MYSELF. If Pence leaves me no choice, then that’s exactly what I’m going to do. The Xtreme Championship means the world to me, and no one is going to stand in my way. I’d cripple my own grandmother for that God damn belt! So what does that say for what I could do to Pence Weatherlight? After Christmas Chaos, neither Pence nor Jeff will be around, to remain a thorn in my side! I’ll take back my title, and I’ll take the “APW President” title away from the boss! December 18th is going to be a night of joy for this organization, as we will expand beyond anyone’s wildest imagination! Soon, we will rule the world of professional wrestling! Ready or not, here we come Steve! If you’re on board, I suggest you buckle your seatbelt. It’s about to be a bumpy ride!
Nathaniel looks at his lawyer with a cocky look on his face as the scene fades to black.
