Humbled... is this a face turn? (Jyndal)

[William James]

** Not Hardly**

'I Stand Alone' begins to play over the arena sound system,
as the official NEW #1 contender for the GCW World Championship,
'Legend Killer' William James, walks out onto the stage.
He walks down the ramp to the ring, and rolls under the bottom rope.
WJ calls for a mic, and receives one from the ring crew member standing nearby.
He stands center ring, and begins to speak...

"And then, there was one..."

WJ smirks, as he pauses a minute, then continues...

"Three weeks ago, Ms. Wallace took a chance on me.
Entering me into an Elimination Chase, along side...
the FORMER GCW Champion Jon Prior...
the soldier Carson Freedom...
and that loud mouth punk, 'Hollywood' Haven.

No one, and I mean no one, expected William James to win the chase...
Everyone thought I was a write off...
That I wouldn't make it out of the first round...

Well, as close as that first match came for me being eliminated...
that match lit a fire inside myself, a fire I haven't felt in a long time...

Then came the triple threat...
and the opportunity I claimed, with the pin fall on Freedom...
to advance to the finals against the man I chose to face, 'Hollywood' Haven.

And that match, between myself and Haven, did NOT disappoint...
we took each other to the limit...
both of us tasting our own blood...
and for that, Haven... I must say...

'Thank You'.

Now, don't get me wrong, I still hate your guts, pal...
but, honestly, you've earned a little respect from me that night...
and maybe, just maybe, I earned a little from you as well.

You stepped it up, and WE made the final Chase match...
something, personally, I will proud of, long after GCW has closed it's doors.

So, again, thank you.

WJ stops a second, and begins to clap, totally out of character for him.
He stops clapping, and continues...

"And now, with that out of the way...
there is one more man to address...
the man that this whole 'chase' business pointed to...
and my next opponant...
the GCW World Champion, Jack Jyndal.

Now, Jyndal, as you know, we've never really crossed paths until now...

The matches I've seen and the way you conduct yourself...
you seem like a stand up guy, aside from the company you keep...
Even going as far as, giving title shots to whoever wants one...
no matter how many time 'he' failed...

WJ smiles into the camera, obviously talking about Jon Prior.

Well, despite what others may think, I've earned this...
I trained long and hard to stand here...
In THIS time...
In THIS place...
and a chance to call MYSELF...
'GCW World Champion'

So, Jyndal... you best get ready, son.
The 'Point of No Return' is fast approaching...
and come hell or high water...
I will stop at nothing short of victory.

A chance to hold my hands high in the air ...
holding the biggest prize in this business...
the GCW World Championship...
in the 'Twilight' hours of Global Championship Wrestling.

WJ prepares to say another word, but is interrupted by...

[jj]

Hold on a second shakespear poet....

Jack's voice can be heard as he walks from the back, the fans are also heard cheering as loud as their lungs will allow....

Sorry to interupt that great monolougue, but I have a feeling you're getting just a tad ahead of yourself, just a tad... I mean yes you have succesfully outlasted and defeated the other three contenders... BUT, they were the contenders, there is a reason I am the champion. That, incase you didn't realize William, means I am the very best that this company has to offer, I am the best that this world has to offer.... I am the best that you have ever come face to face with William...

Fans continue to cheer for Jack as he stands on the stage looking down the ramp at the challenger for his top prize...

So you'd think this match means something more to you, then to me... Maybe you're banking on that, your desire, and the fact that I'm under estimating you... Well William, everytime I step into that ring with this, or any of my titles on the line, I do not risk under estimating my opponent... THAT is something our former champion was a customed to doing and look what happened... I won the world title, he lost his shot at my belt, then he loses one on one to me AGAIN.... the only difference was he actually came at me with everything last match.... But I still stand here champion.

the cheers grow louder as Jyndal reminds them and William of his title and defense....

So now you have to ask yourself a question... Are you really honestly better than Jon Pryor? yes he was eliminated, but in multi man matches, anyone can lose... So are you better than him? Because if you're not then you have wasted every single fans money, whether it be for admission, or the cost of ordering this pay per view... I guess there's only one way to find out... and that's when me and you square off later tonight in that vary ring you're standing in...

Jack stares down the entrance ramp waiting for a response from the #1 contender...

[William James]

"Another one with doubt..."

WJ smiles, as THE question he wanted to hear, surfaced...

"Jyndal, it's funny to me, you still seem so occupied with Prior.
Even after you've proven to him, not once but twice, that he can be beaten.
He really did finally get to you, didn't he?

And to the question, you want me to ask myself...
the answer is simple, really...

You see, I don't have to be better than Prior...
tonight, I just have to be better than YOU.

WJ walks closer to the ropes, towards the stage.
He continues, looking at Jyndal...

"And don't think this is my first go 'round with a 'famed' Natural Selection member.

You don't have to look far...
ask your 'retired' good friend, and former partner Steve Toreno.

In a different place and a different time, I...
personally, saw to it his career was over.

Or so I thought...
Much to my dismay, as I arrived here in GCW...
he was very much still around.

But, low and behold, before I could get my hands on him again...
he turns tail, and he 'quits' the company.
Boom, gone.

WJ paces from one corner to the other, then continues again...

"That was then, this is now...

Granted, however, of what I've seen, you are nothing like him.
Except for one thing...

Whether you want to admit it yourself...
you, like Toreno back then...
and more recently, Freedom and that loud mouth punk Haven...
and, hell, even most of the locker room...
You all underestimated me.

Yet, here I stand before you, rightfully EARNING myself a title shot.

So, tonight, I'm winning the GCW World Championship...

WJ points to a group of fans in the crowd...

not for you...

WJ points to a younger fan in the crowd...

'or you...'

WJ points to another fan, this time a good looking female...

'Well, maybe for you...

WJ lowers his glasses, and gives her a wink...
then turns his look to Jyndal again, and continues...

'No, I'm winning this for MYSELF!

WJ smiles, and closes with this...

"Jyndal, be prepared to get everything I got in the tank...
and I hope, just hope, that you do the same for me...

I want you at your best... less excuses that way...
when I take the GCW World Championship home with me.

WJ pauses for a reaction to his words from the next... FORMER... GCW Champion...
