Gable Winchester: "After having Apocalypse off, and being able to pretty much watch from the sidelines I find myself in action on Breakdown... Now it's safe to say that I'm once again in a downward spiral... And I can no longer deny that my private life has started to bleed into my professional life in an extremely difficult way. I can put on a smile and pretend but it's plain to see that things aren't how they should be for your Man Of Win... Perhaps the fact I have to see the woman I loved more than anyone before, and know that she is like a different person is to blame... Or maybe I'm being too hard on myself and things will come good soon enough... Either way I'm set to take on a guy that has a hell of a lot of momentum on his side since he came back to SCW with a vengeance... A man that has made no bones about his stance on pretty much everything despite the fact that it appeared he was a hired gun to help take down Kennedy Street at the behest of her estranged former manager... And the guy that arguably made Dante McCaffrey his bitch at the Pay Per View! Now it comes down to the question of whether I can be the person to halt his impressive momentum dead or whether that same man, Thirteen will have my number... No pun intended... And extend my run of luck or lack of it for one more week... I wish you luck Thirteen, either way and may the best man win!" OOC: My apologies for the poor effort, I swear I will actually finish the Gable rp I've been working on for weeks now... One day |

OOC: I suppose it works out that my effort for this match is also shoot-only. As much as I really wanted to continue the CD story I started at Apocalypse for the reasons I listed in my OOC note there, my sleep schedule has been a mess for the past few weeks because my job's been all over the place in terms of scheduling as we switch over from summer hours to fall/winter hours when we know we'll be less busy. With things returning to normal starting next week, I made the effort to try and start fixing it last night, completely forgetting I had to write something. Thankfully, reading the Dante McCaffery RP that Drew posted for his match gave me a shoot idea I could run with so I at least had something to put up, and I think it turned out fairly nicely in all honesty. The CD story will continue next time... this was just a case of me trying to put my health before this game for once. (I know it's the smarter decision, but I've been guilty of doing the opposite far too many times since I started fedding.) -------------------------------------------------------------------- “I suppose the world is quite curious right now, isn’t it? In the wake of Apocalypse, one question people want an answer to is how will Thirteen respond to what happened to him following his victory over Dante McCaffery. After all, my hand was raised in victory at the end of the day, but the man who actually walked away was Dante hand in hand with his little group of pawns. Surely this means that Dante is the chessmaster here and he can proudly declare that he got one over on me and has free reign to speak to me as though I’ve been his inferior since the day he graced this Earth. What am I to do against a man who has clearly outsmarted me and made a name for himself at my expense? All Dante truly proved at Apocalypse is that he has absolutely no idea who he thinks he’s dealing with. Before I get to the business I truly have laid out on the table for Breakdown, I know Dante is going to be listening with bated breath because he wants to hear exactly how I’m going to justify what happened. Congratulations kid, you managed to get one over on me and you now get to treat that as though it’s the single most important thing you’ve ever done in an SCW ring. You get to strut around and tell the world that you and your friends managed to put down a legend, all while ignoring one very important detail: I’m still right here, talking to you, which ultimately means you failed. You’re just another name on the ever-growing list of people who are far too short-sighted in this business, reveling in immediate success as opposed to what gets accomplished in the long term. For a man who did everything in his power to prove to Ravyn Taylor that he’s just as cerebral as her, you should really know better than to declare victory when the game’s only just begun. But what do I know, right? You’re the enigma here while I’m the man whose name has so much recognition that the hell I lived growing up is practically common knowledge to anyone who’s actually seen a wrestling show with my name on the card. How dare I make assumptions about you when I don’t know the first thing about you, right? Let me level with you Dante: the act you’re putting on right now is nothing I haven’t seen before, and trying to make a name for yourself at my expense especially when you couldn’t do it with your own two hands and needed some extra help is just another day at the office for someone like me. But do you know why you’re ultimately going to lose this little game you’re hoping to play with me Dante? It has nothing to do with how many titles I’ve won or how much experience I have, who knows more about who is irrelevant in this scenario, the numbers game is just an extra piece to the puzzle that makes it easier to solve as far as I’m concerned… The real reason you’re going to fall short is because morality is beyond your comprehension. Surely this is the part where I prove you right and tell you all about how you’re going to lose because you’re the bad guy and I’m the good guy, right? You said it yourself, I already played the part of turning over a new leaf and pretended to be a completely different person, so with the fans on my side that’s certainly why I’m going to win in the end, right? Go ahead and keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better at night kid, because the fact of the matter is you’ve proven exactly how little you know how to actually comprehend the information that’s been put in front of you. The reason the fans stand behind me is simply because they respect what I’ve done and can still do inside that ring, and what I do in the meantime has long since become irrelevant. I’m not here to play the role of a hero, I’m here to simply reclaim my kingdom and give everyone a little reminder as to who made SCW the way it is today to begin with. If that means one of your buddies might find themselves knowing what a bug on a windshield feels like, then it’s their fault for simply thinking they were safe the moment they left the building. The whole concept of morality is nothing but a toy to me, because heroes and villains are merely titles people give us to try and explain the things we do and why we should be loved or hated for it. But how much can you love someone you tell people is a hero but they don’t hesitate to play a villain’s game just to prove they can beat them at it. You might feel that I’m making empty threats, but keep in mind what I spent weeks doing to Kennedy Street all in the name of a simple test to satiate my own curiosity. If I can willingly stoop so low without caring about how people feel about it to someone so beloved by the fans now, then just imagine the possibilities with someone they hate standing right in the middle of the road while I’m going full speed ahead. Think that one over Dante, because the sooner you realize I truly am like nothing you’ve ever had to match wits before, the sooner you can try to save yourself while you still have a chance to wake up from the nightmare. It’s funny that the concept of morality is the name of the game right now, because come Breakdown I find myself opposing a man who’s had his entire concept of the word turned upside-down and he’s been having a very hard time trying to figure out where to go from here. It’s been quite some time, hasn’t it Gable? I see you’ve been quite busy while I was away, and after looking back on the things I said to you the last time our paths crossed, it turns out I was right about you all along. The Man of Win turned over a new leaf and the next thing you know, he has himself a record-setting Tag Title reign alongside a woman he loves and a Trios contract in hand once again that he can do as he pleases with. As I said before Gable, some people just aren’t cut out for the role of a villain, and you’re about as clear an example as you can get. For all the years you spent trying to make people hate you because you were arrogant and in everybody’s faces about how great you thought you were, nothing was ever truly accomplished out of it, now was it? When you started to clean up your act, we found a noticeable improvement in what you could do in the ring and before long, the accolades were piling up once again. I could congratulate you on coming to terms with this fact… but if I did that, I might be getting too far ahead of myself, now wouldn’t I? You see Gable, I’ve been paying close attention to SCW in the time I was away, just in case the day came where I might decide to resurface, and over the course of this year I’ve seen the slow decline of the Man of Win back into potentially the same scenario we were in the last time our paths crossed. Sure, you won the Trios contract for a second time, but you haven’t really gotten the chance to use it on what you really want, have you? Whether it’s a match with two women who made it clear they were wasting your time on purpose just to see how much they could get under your skin or trying to have Autumn stand by your side to reclaim the Tag Titles one more time, it just seems like every new idea comes with a hole in it that you’re not able to patch up. I’m sure it doesn’t help that the woman you thought you loved and might finally be able to spend your life with apparently decided to go back to her old flame without a care as to how it affected you or how you feel about her attacking people from behind or using underhanded means to try and get herself back into the spotlight. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: people put way too much focus on that damn light and trying to be the one center stage when it comes on. All eyes have to be on them or else they feel like everything was a big waste of time… when has that ever truly helped anyone to succeed long term in this business or any profession for that matter? Yes, I drew a lot of attention for what I did a long time ago, but over time it simply became a story going on in the background until I claimed the World Title. Not once did you ever see me have a meltdown over not being paid any attention or people overlooking my exploits because I thought they might miss the impact I was trying to make. I simply went about my business like normal and it paid off, and that’s why despite people forgetting about where the credit should be going as to the chaotic state of SCW today, no one has ever been able to replicate what I did. Everyone is always so focused on trying to make an impact that will grab everyone’s attention that they forget about the little things that can ultimately build up into something far greater. That, Gable, is the reason why Autumn’s endeavors to separate herself from you will ultimately crash and burn, and that should be a warning sign to you as you evaluate your future within the coming weeks. This might come as a surprise to you, but I paid attention leading into Rise to Greatness and I saw the signs that in your frustration over what had happened, we might be on the verge of seeing a return of the asshole that you believe everyone loved to hate. Anything to get the job done and put you back in the spotlight, right Gable? I think the real question is… can you actually handle being in the spotlight like that? When all eyes are on you, it’s easier to criticize your every move and make you feel the way you do now: lost, confused and struggling for answers. An impact that gets everyone’s attention sounds like the perfect solution on paper, but in practice it’s only a short-term solution to a long-term problem and requires you to have to repeat that every single week in order to keep up, and the truth is… nobody is capable of being able to sustain that kind of momentum forever. That’s why I can only roll my eyes whenever I hear news about some great competitor who hasn’t lost a match yet that comes along every now and then, because the more it gets hyped up, the harder the fall will be when the inevitable happens. I’m not going to stand here and tell you what to do with your career Gable, because regardless of any respect that may exist between us there is little chance our paths will cross again for some time and we each have our own separate goals. But you would do wise to take a good look back at your career and reflect upon what I said to you years ago when we last met before you make a hasty decision you’ll come to regret later. Just because I have the ability to abuse the concept of morality as I see fit in order to accomplish my goals doesn’t mean everyone can do it, so be wise about the next move you make in your career before you opt to try and turn your Trios contract into gold. Regardless, I’ll be expecting a hard-fought battle from you on Breakdown as you continue to try and steer your ship, and perhaps, just like with Kennedy, facing me will be all the answer you need regardless of the outcome.” |
