Respect vs. Foolishness - Neville Sinclair - 07-19-2017 Neville sits in his study and watches Panzer’s address. Sitting in his study chair, everyone can see that he’s fully icing his back and is looking a lot more sore than usual. A glazed over look is on his face as he tries to address what he’s just seen. His butler/housekeeper Hugh stands beside him. This has been a hard week. Last week’s match has actually hurt me more than I’ve thought it would. I left last week with a back injury and have been nursing it ever since. One of the things I will say about XWF is that there sure is a lot to do. You barely have time to heal after your last match before being flung into your next one. Neville takes a deep breath, clearly in a lot of pain. He walks over to his shelf of vinyls and picks up one titled “Entrance of the Gladiators” by Julius Fucik. He puts it on, and the familiar circus song plays. But this is what I enjoy. The ability to get involved in so much is a great thing, and I know that I’m a guy that’s up for the challenge. Pain or no pain, I still plan on going into my match against Phantom Panzer on Wednesday and showing him the difference between the royalty and peasants. If there’s one man in the XWF that deserves the title “King of the Ring”, it’s me. And I aim to show each and every one of you that I am the most fitting for that title. And it all starts on Wednesday. I might be in a lot of pain right now, but this means something to me, so bring on my first challenger. Neville nods for his Butler to bring him a drink I’m thinking I need something really top shelf with how I’m feeling. Maybe some 50 year old Chivas? Hugh brings him a special gold-plated bottle and pours two shots for him. One shot was for the pain, he slammed it down and took in the burn as it went down. The second shot was for the taste and for fun. He held it in his mouth a little longer, swishing it slightly under his tongue before swallowing it. This hit the spot. Panzer, I’ve got a few things to say to you this week. And I think I’m going to do it a little differently than I had originally planned. My original thought with you was to spend a lot of time making fun of every little thing about you. But that was too easy. Disgusting man in a clown suit? I haven’t seen that since John Wayne Gacy. Trying to make fun of someone with your gimmick is a little too easy. Watching your non-sensical ramblings week after week makes me feel like I’m on an LSD trip. Those would be the easy routes of trying to psyche you out for this match, and I’m sure half the federation has tried those tactics on you. Neville puts both his hands on his back and winces But then you’ve done something that surprised me. You said nothing. You told the entire federation that you couldn’t care less about this match and you earned a little respect from me. Being a man who says exactly what he wants is something I can respect. So let me tell you what I want, I want to earn a win over you, and I want to win this match. Let’s make this a gentleman’s contest between myself, a gentleman, and whatever the hell you are. I plan on giving you exactly what you want out of this match. A little match that ends with you losing in the first round of the King of the Ring. Neville smiles and thinks about Wednesday So here’s one lesson I think I can impart to you Phantom Panzer. In most courts, there is a place for both the royalty and the fools. One is a person people look to for leadership, one is the person people look to for laughs. You’ve obviously set your place in this federation. You do ridiculous things and say some of the dumbest shit I’ve seen. You’ve allowed yourself to be the fool. Are you worthy to be considered XWF royalty? Absolutely not. Step aside, and I’ll meet you tomorrow. The camera fades to black as Neville winces one last time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OOC: I’ve hurt my back really badly this week. I’ve been so hopped up on morphine and other painkillers as I await word on if I need surgery or not that I haven’t been in the headspace to write anything. My apologies for putting one out on the last day, I just always want to show up. Apologies to Panzer, I hope one day we’ll be able to have a great match against each other where I can put in the time needed to make it awesome. This just wasn’t possible for me[/align] this week.
