Not the Typical Hero

[Jason Cashe]

I'm A Hero? Hahahaha....Okay...Sure..If you say so but check it out...

The grimey back alley of the inner city. Tall buildings, people walking to various locations along the sidewalks. Jason Kash comes around a corner carrying a paper bag of groceries. He nods at a few people that pass him, a smile on his face which gives everyone a small taste of the "Toothless Charisma" that is his personality. Suddenly something in the sky zooms over him with great speed, folks all around stop and look up into the sky. Above the buildings, through the clouds it looked like a man. Kash freezes, not sure if it was aliens coming to invade or a missile from North Korea being sent to start a new war. The object was just a jet flying above, not really out of the ordinary from what the Hotel told him. Still he plays to it and remembers Knuckles promo, calling him a "hero". His voice breaks as he stares up into the open sky.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...Nope, it's just good old fashion Influence! See Knuckles, I haven't changed all that much! Come on man! I'm still that same go getter that I was when I asked for that rematch oh so long ago for that belt you wanted back so badly. I also asked for a rematch with Casteel after becoming the APW World Champion. So have I changed? I still stand here today wanting to prove myself, my worth even when success has been my blessing. There has been nothing that has changed, it's just now, the fans cheer my name. You've seen it yourself, they go Bobble Head when the music hits man, how can I not see that and take notice? When Borderland bailed, bailed WHILE we held the Tag Titles, I didn't ask him to come back. I wasn't even surprised he left.

You as well Knuckles, you were a soldier and took my lead when I came to APW from that other place. Oh and I won plenty in UWF, I just didn't want that low budget Hardcore Title. It represented as much too violence as a Tom & Jerry Cartoon. So clearly too many head shots have made you dumb but dumb people don't right know they dumb..Most would never admit to it anyway. I left UWF because I felt like 2Pac in the sense that I was in Jail. I was in trouble for something that really wasn't even my fault and Glenn Legend didn't think 20 grand was enough to bail out one of his most hardest working and top rising stars.

President Jeff came in and seen my history, seen my worth and paid that bail. He also gave me a hefty contract when I left and then returned a month later, a page from Level One. I learned something from him where as you learned to follow orders like a bitch. January 6th marked my debut in APW and in this past year I have accomplished my share of feats. Regardless...I haven't changed who I am, I've changed the trust and truth in everything I come across. The fans? They were there when Borderland bailed, when you bailed they had started chanting my name, holding up signs in my honor, they never bailed. They never walked away from me because of the success I was having but everyone of my so called "Friends" did just that.

He gets to his car parked alongside the curb. Adora Bailey sitting by herself in the locked green tinted black Dodge Magnum. She unlocks the door pressing a button and Kash gets behind the steering wheel. Passing the bag over to her, she digs into the bag. She pulls out a 5 Hour Energy Shot and a Comic Book, hands them both to Kash as he rolls down the window and stares out to the camera sitting in the middle of the street.

Call me a Hero, call me whatever the fuck you want Knuckle-Fuck but it'll still be me with my hand raised at the end of the match. Why? Because that's one thing that for sure hasn't changed, I'm better than you all around inside the ring. One could say I've got your number. At least I had it in the past, maybe you have gotten better. Maybe all those big battles you've lost have done something to improve you but to me? I see you as the world of MMA sees Wanderlei Silva, you rush in and put on a really good show, VERY EXCITING...But because of the head shots you get knocked the fuck out of competition with the first hard gust of wind that follows a stiff punch. Rico dropped you with probably the worst Knock Out Punch ever thrown by the "Mad King" and I've been hit with one or two of them myself.

If that is the case with you now then this match won't last for any real length of time. How can it when I haven't slowed down my approach to beating people. I haven't become a nicer person to anyone who is standing across the ring from me have I? That's a big N-OPE! I'm still slashing into people's jugular vein and opening up chest cavities and if you want to get a little violent then I'm down to pour your blood.

Look this is getting a bit too "Dark" for anything not Donovan Caine so let me tell you why I'm in this business Knuckles. Why anyone who steps into this business decides to push forward. If you're not here to be a Champion, to be among the best then you are just filler. I sat and watched people take the World Title and makes to claims to the history books. I've seen people win it and lose it the next night or win and hold it for months down the road. I've watched this while promoting other people as partners and it's well over due that I promote myself first...

Kash begins to flip through the comic book, some generic Comic Book Hero that didn't at all seem like a Hero or a good guy at all. Much like himself, Kash wanted to see how one of those might look. However the first few pages shows that the hero in this comic was a man who did no bad, said no bad and was in fact the typical hero. The comic soon found it's way out the window in a snap of the wrist as Kash launches it from his car.

This is my time to stand up and take what I want. Not watch someone else do it and bite my tongue on knowing that I can best them. I beat Wisler time after time but he touched World Title before I did during our alliance. Demon as well, beat him but he was the top guy when we owned shit together. Both these times I took a former rival and made them into a partner, a friend and I did the same with you but that was a mistake. You were a mistake.

I should have put the nail in the coffin, not let you feel like you could even compete because then we wouldn't be here today. We wouldn't be looking across the ring from each other, you'd be sitting on the couch or cooking somewhere and I'd still be on the path I'm on right now. I'm not different Knuckles, I'm just not one to play pretend and see something that isn't there like you having success against me.

Now with Odin? Yeah, he too at one time was a great Rival of mine. He's not you though, he's better! This is a man who stands 7 foot tall and has been in this business for the good part of 11 years. He hasn't picked up and quit, walked away like you have plenty times over. He didn't high tail it like Demon or Wisler or even Knoxville. These were my friends of this business and all of them left when times got to be too much for them to handle. Odin though? He's not a friend, his views are different than mine. He doesn't care about the fans or being well liked but all of that doesn't matter. What we're doing with MoneyWorth isn't about your fan standing.

It's about putting green in the empty palm of our hand. We doing it up Daily...Light It Up or get Lit Up. You can like it, or sit in a fucking corner and pout about it because we doing this and we gonna break bread and get paid. Unlike DangerTainment, and unlike the past year of your life. I was actually feeling sick yesterday. Must have been that Donkey Piss you call an Energy Drink, shit does Punch you but not in a good way. I'mma stick to 5 Hour Energy, thank ye doody! Hey...Hey, after this match you should Text me with the number of stars you counted when I laid your ass out flat, drop you like a pair of panties from a bitch loving my Toothless Charisma! Haha...

::Adora Bailey::
Oh no, he's a Don didn't you hear?

::Jason Kash::
Ha, that's rich! If he was Don of a Family, it was a Jersey Shore Family he led. Nobody with any sense has ever taken HIS Lead. Not even Plex back in the day, not even Adam Young would play follower or second to Johnny Knuckles. He really must need medical attention for past concussions.

::Adora Bailey::
Well at least he is smart enough to use what you've used before to go against you. I always liked that static ending to your promos.

::Jason Kash::
Yeah, THAT'S ruined now...

::Adora Bailey::
That does suck. But tell me how someone can call you a whiny bitch if they are taking notes and using your material? Doesn't really make sense does it? You are the clear Champion of Asylum, Havok gained a shot he never earned and picked off a Champion who beat Rico Casteel and put Manhattan White into a deep depression. Yeah, you are a big cry baby honey! Whaaa...stupid ass wop...

::Jason Kash::
I find it a bit unfair that Races in America can make comments like that but if I said that shit...MAN, I'd be a Clan member...That's some Booshit! Let's get out of here, I need to get with that Choke Smoke and get Blurry...Been sober for to long now!

::Adora Bailey::
Babe, you smoked this morning before we left the Hotel.

::Jason Kash::
That was 5 hours ago!

He turns the key in the ignition, revs the engine and smiles at the camera as he pulls out his parking spot and cruises down the street. The camera in a fade as the scene watches his car disappear over the horizon.
