Reaching a goal... achieving your dreams.. reaching down and finding that inner strength to get something that you want.. desire. That is one of the most fulfilling feelings in life. Nothing truly matches it. And when you do reach the summit of that life event, the pure pleasure you feel inside makes you want to celebrate that event. But celebrating can be a double edged sword. Celebrate too long... allow yourself to become complacent.. and you could find that the feeling of reaching that goal quickly fades. One has to find a new goal quickly.. something bigger and better.. to sink one's teeth into so they can continue to grow as a person, and not fall by the wayside.
A swing of the camera shows a huge hotel suite. At least two dozen people are milling about. Alcohol seems to be flowing freely as everyone has a glass of something bubbly in their hands. The mood of the room is definately celebratory.
In the corner, on a large cushy chair sits the Ox. A couple bags of ice are on his body. A busty blonde is behind him, rubbing his shoulders. Andrew Rage, a former wrestler from the EFWO, walks over.
Andrew Rage: Great job tonight Ox-man. ICW isnt going to know what hit it.
The Ox: Thanks Andy. Once again I showed em, just like the old days, that EFWO is superior.
Andrew Rage: Yup. Im gonna grab a drink. Keep kickin ass man.
The Ox: K Andy. Nice seeing ya.
Rage goes and finds the bar in the room. Ox looks around the room at all the familiar faces from his past. The woman feels the muscles in his shoulders suddenly tense
Blonde woman: Whats wrong hun? I can feel your tense
Ox looks at the woman and shakes his head.
The Ox: Its just all these people. They seemed to have just come out of the woodwork. Where were they the last six years? Yeah I retired but it wasnt like I was hard to find. And yet as soon as I show some success all of a sudden here they are.
Blonde woman: They just want to celebrate with you sexy.
She lets her hands rub further down from Ox's shoulders.
The Ox: I think most of them are just oppurtunists. KInda like this Gladiator Tommy Harrison. ICW world champ? Only because he came into the scene when most of the quality talent had gone away. He thinks because he was once associated with Hoyakillah and Healius that he has somehow got one iota of the talent they had. Healius' sister, Jessica Hagen, could have taken this guy.
Ox pauses and looks again at the blonde, this time with disdain.
The Ox: But what the hell am I talking to you about any of this for? Its not like you are any different than any of these others. You aint nothing but some bottomfeeder trying to suddenly trying to get on my nuts because of earlier tonight.
Ox pulls himself away from the girl and stands up.
The Ox: Get away from me skank. Try becoming a real woman like...
He stops himself.. his mind drifts to her.. and then he shakes his head to clear the thought. He starts walking around the room. The woman looks at him as he walks away. Her face shows bewilderment and hurt.
Ox walks up to one of the other guests, a man that he doesnt recognize. He grabs the guys shoulder, causing the appetizer that was in his hand to go tumbling to the floor.
The Ox: Who the hell are you?
Man Ox doesnt recognize: Ox! Great win tonight buddy. I knew you could do it.
The Ox: Did you miss my question? Who in the HELL are YOU?
Man Ox doesnt recognize: You dont remember me? I was...
The Ox: You know what.. I dont care. I havent seen or heard from you. Hell.. my comeback hasnt been exactly hidden. DId you call to see how I was doing? Stop by to see how things were going? Tell me one thing you even remember about my career!
Man Ox doesnt recognize: Um. Er.
The Ox: Just as I figured. Just like Tommy Harrison. Im sure the man knows nothing about me or my career. If he did, there is no way he would have made the mistake of taking out Genesis and thus choosing me as his opponent for the ICW title this MOnday at Mayhem. In that decision he made a big tactical error. In that decision he has cost himself a belt that he has only because of a lack of decent talent. Harrison will learn Monday night who I am. He will be sorry he didnt study my history. And after the match, he will be really sorry that he didnt pick Genesis.. when his gurney is wheeled into the hospital room next to the one he put Genesis on.
Ox looks at the man again.
The Ox: Get the fuck out of here. Matter of fact.
Ox raises his voice.
The Ox: All of you! GET THE FUCK OUT. I dont need any of you! GO NOW!
The party clears out quickly. Ox slams the door shut and grabs one of the half empty bottles of alcohol that are sitting around. He slumps in the chair and takes a swig. As he does his cell rings. He pulls it from his pocket and looks at the number before opening it.
The Ox: What?
He listens to the voice on the other side... something about Q Public making comments about him after the rumble... as the scene fades
A few hours after the rumble
A swing of the camera shows a huge hotel suite. At least two dozen people are milling about. Alcohol seems to be flowing freely as everyone has a glass of something bubbly in their hands. The mood of the room is definately celebratory.

The Ox: K Andy. Nice seeing ya.
Rage goes and finds the bar in the room. Ox looks around the room at all the familiar faces from his past. The woman feels the muscles in his shoulders suddenly tense
Blonde woman: Whats wrong hun? I can feel your tense
Ox looks at the woman and shakes his head.
