Great Buzzard Eli James IV · (08-11-2014)

Eli arrives in Atlanta... the current city of XWF's Monday Night Madness show. It looks like it had just rained hours before. The streets are filled with wet spots and cars with water all over them. While the traffic on the streets are packed... Eli is walking among the people downtown.

He stops several people asking, "Do you know who Aidan Collins is?" They look at him confused and can't give an answer. He laughs for a short bit and follows up with, "Do you know who Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan are?" Without much hesitation the people he asked said, "Yes."

He finally stops at a unique place to Atlanta called Underground Atlanta. It's not the safest place to be, but it's also not the worst. Some families take trips to look at the unique stores underneath and see a little entertainment if its presented.

Eli can't help but enjoy this strange place and watch the people move admiring it.

Oddly, Steve Sayors is down there with some other XWF office personnel looking around the city like most wrestlers do to sight see for a little bit. Eli sits down on a bucket that's just standing up with no one around and has a big grin. Steve decides to walk up to Eli.

"Eli. Hey, how are you doing?"

"Fine, man. Just fine. It's been a while since we chatted."

"A really long time. I'll be honest.. I think most people who ask me to interview them are just desperate. Hahahaha."

"I hear ya, man."

"You wanna talk a little bit about your match tonight? You're not asking me, I'm asking you. Just wanting to clarify that, Mr. James."

"Sure, why not. I have some time."

"I interviewed Aidan and he had some strong words to say about you."

"Heh. Yeah, I heard it. It blows my mind when people still think this wrestling is what matters to me. I heard him try to give me advice on how to use that loss to Mark... to see how my integrity will do. Maybe Aidan is as stupid as he seems. Steve, is my purpose titles or wins in the XWF?"

"Well, no. At least it wasn't what you've been saying for over a year now."

"And what is my purpose, Steve? What have I said countless times what my purpose is?"

"To spread the news of the Almighty. Right?"

"Heh, yeah man. It's people like Aidan who put all their chips into this sport and hope to find themselves in it through wins and losses, and championships and populartiy.. those people will fail every time. Championships are taken away, by a loss.. injury.. or who knows what else. Gold will rust and you won't take it with ya. What about when the world ends.. will whatever you did in the XWF matter? He needs a win... NEEDS a win to show everyone he can back up his talk. Do I NEED a win? No, because my identity isn't in wins or losses. He looks at when I lost to Mark Flynn and wonders how I'll bounce back. I lost my United States Championship to John Austin who cashed in a briefcase.. and Mr. Sayors... did I bounce back?"

"Yes."

"I lost a War Games match. I lost in Lethal Lottery. I lost a match going for the Trio Titles. I've lost matches before, and I've bounced back. Unlike Aidan.. I stayed in the XWF. He says he didn't do so well his first go in the XWF and left.. and now he's back. I never left when I lost. I pushed through. Not just that, but I challenged the biggest names in this company. I've never backed down from a fight and never denied anyone an opportunity to fight me.. whether it was me putting my title on the line or just giving someone a chance to shine. Why? Because my identity isn't about wins or losses. Because I don't quit. I don't leave, go somewhere else.. and come back demanding a Universal Title shot. Do ya know who demands things? A child. A child demands from his parents toys. So I guess Aidan is a little child on top of a temporary blizzard."

"Aidan mentioned you weren't talented enough to.."

"Hehe.. says a man who left the XWF... says a man to demand title shots instead of work his way up.. says a man who claims to be the greatest and yet I've shown clearly he wasn't. Aidan says a lot of things... but so do liars."

"What about little shots he's taken at you? Like you need to get a bath, and..."

"Listen, Mr. Sayors. Can you tell me right now Boston needs to put some air freshener in their Verizon store because it stinks? Of course not. You're not there. He tells me I need to take a bath and hasn't been even near me. Aidan is all about trying to talk himself up and his opponents down.. and will use any child-like word or phrase to get him there. Do ya think I'm bothered by a statement like that? In fact, I don't take baths. I take showers. I don't want to sit in my own filth.. maybe that's what Aidan does. He takes baths and plays with his rubber duckies. He thinks he's clean when all he did was wash himself off and sit in the water where all the dirt went. Plus.. everyone needs to take a 'bath' or 'shower'.. so why even mention my name solo? Does Aidan not need to take a bath or shower and clean himself?

It's funny.. I saw him say this.. "ALS Ice Bucket challenge is just more proof that I’m a better person than Eli James."

Aidan really believes that doing a Ice.. Bucket.. Challenge.. is proof he's a better person? I mean, let that sink in. He believes doing an Ice.. Bucket.. Challenge is proof he is better. What's he gonna say next? He can color inside the lines of a coloring book and it proves he's better than me in fighting? Is he going to sleep with young girls and let them say "he's the best ever" when it could have been their first ever.. and then he'll claim he's the best sexual partner ever? Ya see, Aidan likes to be child-like man in this company.

"I'm the best! Uh-huh. Um, google it! Oh, you did?" Then he runs behind a phone or computer to send an email, "Well, you stink! Go take a bath!" Just when you think it's over, it isn't. "I told you I'm the best! I did the water challenge, so na-na-na na-na na-na. Oh, I didn't win a lot in the XWF but I did else where, so can I get a title shot? I mean, I'm good, really really good. Just goog... just take my word for it!"

This is the man some told me I should be afraid of. The little engine that could.

Not only does Aidan want to make those claims.. but he says he wants to raise money for certain diseases. Can we really believe a liar's claim? Not just that, but does he think money is the reason we haven't found cures? You can have all the money in the world but if you give it to stupid people.. don't expect great results. And from what I've heard Aidan say.. he probably doesn't know too many intelligent people.

Heck, man.. Aidan even says "Eli will probably say this..." and answer himself like I already said it.

Aidan should've done more homework on me because a lot of things he says makes him look like a jackass.

I think morality is subjective? Heh. I think morality is absolute.

Why would I think morality is subjective? I believe in an Almighty who created the world and does not change... I believe in absolute right and wrong. If morality was subjective, then we really couldn't tell someone what they were doing was wrong. It's up to the person.

Before you say what I may think or say.. maybe you should understand who I am. Clearly even the simplest things I've said may be far over your head, but that's understandable when I hear you talk.

You may think I'm similar to the people you've met in the past or witnessed through history.. but you're far from it. You're right.. people have burned churches down before. People have killed their own friends before. Do you actually think that's all there is to me? Why would I reveal everything about myself in one year? I'll tell ya why.. because I can't. There's far more to me than what you'll hear about my past or my present. You could look at every person around and say, "they are just like .. so and so." There's been billions of people in this world... and if you take a little bit here and there.. you'll find the right combination for every man who lives today. Except me.

Tell me Aidan.. who have you faced that didn't care about titles and vacating them?

Who cut off the heads of the Administrator and Shane

?

Who was the one man that had the XWF roster split among two sides?

You think I 'broke character' taking a screen shot of google? It seems you really don't have me figured out at all. You want me to be this character you have figured out...

Good luck finding someone like me."

"Sorry to cut you off, Mr. James. You definitely don't seem to like Aidan Collins."

"I dislike stupidity. I dislike men who act like children. He says he waited for me to talk so we could trash talk before our match. Does a kid want to fight or talk trash?"

"Understood. If we can just switch gears real quick.. he responded to your last talk about him. I'm not sure if you've heard what he had to say, or if you'd care to respond."

"Heh. Yeah, I heard him. He actually listed the names of the people he faced. Do you know what's common about those names? I've never heard of them. Not one mention from anyone in the XWF. I guess those 'former' XWF champions that were in the list didn't make too much of an impact in this company. Bro. Hehehe.

His whole speech seemed like I got to him. Did it to you? Hehe.

He even said, "when I say something without elaborating, I’m a exaggerating." He's a exaggerating? Ladies and gentlemen.. Steve Sayors and all XWF.. it's a miracle.. Aidan Collins is not a man but a verb!

Ya see, Steve.. Aidan admitted he needed to hype himself up. He needs this victory against me.

Aidan is a confused little soul. He's the greatest wrestler and tells us to google it. Now he says he's just to hype himself up. Ya know.. I don't need to go through everything he's said. People heard him contradict himself and feed lies to whoever would listen.

He says, "It’s very possible that someone in the game today will end up being the greatest of all time," and it is possible.. but you've stated it as a fact. You made the claim you ARE the greatest wrestler... but you won't know if that claim is true until the end of time. To help ya out.. you should say "you are the greatest wrestler of this time". You're welcome little buddy.

You sure do say a lot, Aidan. I think it's funny to be a guy that he can easily run over.. he sure did analyze my talk against him almost line for line. It seems to be I'm under his skin.

Oh, and that's not how you end a wrestling promo.. this is how..."

Eli jumps off the bucket he's sitting on and starts yelling.

"Aidan Collins. Bro. Unlike me, you know who you are. The fuck? Listen, bliz, we ALL know who you are. It's pretty clear who you are. A crybaby child who talks a lot. We get it. You're great. You talk shit. You're coming to let the current XWF know about the past XWF, and talk up all your accomplishments in the last 30 years or however long you've been here. We get it. Do you really have to say it so damn much? You are the annoying sound of "Welcome, You've Got Mail" everyone heard when they signed into American Online. You are the whore that needs to be slapped because she can't shut the fuck up.

You saw me lose? Well, tonight you get to see me win, bitch. Then, all this talk about Aidan Collins.. the mean ole scary Blizzard.. the self proclaimed greatest of all time when all time hasn't happened.. will all be over.

Then you're next speech can be about excuses. It can be filled with more lies and more hyping yourself up.. because no one else is gonna believe that hype, "bro".

Listen to me.. I'VE LOST BEFORE I EVER FACED MARK FLYNN.. ya dumbass. It's not some big secret. It's plain as day for everyone to look at. You seem to want to keep talking about my loss to Mark like it showed I was weak. Have you lost before, Aidan? Of course you have.

The difference between us is I stayed in the XWF and you ran.

The difference between us is I tell the truth and when you are caught with a lie.. you make up more lies to cover that one. I did what you asked.. I googled your name and didn't see a thing about Aidan Collins being a great wrestler. Not one.. damn.. thing. And you want to take the attention off the proof by saying I broke character. You have no idea who I am and what I'm about.

Go back to the federation you came from, because maybe there.. you're feared. Here.. you are the jester in the royal court."

Eli sits back down all calm with Sayors looking a bit surprised.

"That's what he wanted. A wrestling promo. A real pro would say talk is cheap.. let action speak for itself but Aidan wants to talk. Ya got your words in, man. You said all there is to say. You hyped yourself up to many.. but to me.. you're just a star in the sky with many others.. that's about to go out.

I like how ya ended your talk, though. Truth Until Death. I guess for you.. death came way early because truth is not something you speak about.

See ya soon."
