Sometimes we have to fight.
Even when we don't want to, against people we don't want to.
Sometimes your just not given a choice in the matter.
But I still think Ulf Hednir is a good guy.
Despite every reason he’s given me to think otherwise.
Despite his involvement with The Council and his involvement in there group attacks. Despite putting me through a table, I still think Ulf is a good guy. I still think that because deep down inside I still believe it to be true, I feel it inside, and a wiseman once told me to never second guess your gut feeling and I won't start second guessing it today.
And this isn't based on some kind of fairytale, I have my reasons.
When I was trying to stop Ulf from attacking the Main Event, when all the other members of the Council crushed there opponents without mercy…Ulf was the one that listened. He hesitated in that moment that I told him there was another way because, I believe, that he knew what I was saying to be true.
Before he powerbombed me through a table two weeks ago he told me he was sorry in his language. I think that he knew what he was doing was wrong. He knew he didn't need to cheap shot me and drive me through the announcers desk. But he did it anyway. Because he felt the need to fit in with the evil council.
I don't think the guy is a saint or anything but I do think that somewhere deep down there is some good inside that guy. Asshole? Yup. All around bad guy? I still don't think so. I still don't want to fight him, but sometimes especially as a champion, you don't have a choice. But I won't back down from a fight or an opportunity to defend my Invictus Championship. I won't allow my personal feelings get in the way of what I have to do this Sunday at Lineage. I'm going into that match to stand up and fight! To show the Council that IWF isn't afraid of them or there little sneak attack ambushes and to show that I'm willing to stand up and fight for what I believe in.
And if that means that Ulf Hednir….
Or even Buzz himself…
Wants to stand up and try and get in my way then I'm ready to knock them all down or go down trying.
Sasha Grey: What are you doing here?
There was a heavy feeling in the air. The kind of thick and somber feeling you get just before you think something bad was going to happen. The sun wanted no part of it, you could see it through the window tip toeing awkwardly behind the horizon line and conveniently left dusk in the dark about what it was getting itself into. She look worried, he could tell that she could feel the heaviness in the air as well and it was doing its best to weigh her down as well.
Sasha Grey: You know he’s coming here, for you.
She explained, making sure her tone was more clear when she told him who she was coming for. She was talking about Buzz. Her ex-boyfriend and the guy who has been in Jayson’s face ever since he started going to school at the Wrestle Factory. He nodded and rolled his eyes as she said it. He knew fully well what was apparently supposed to happen and it bothered him that she expected him to go run and hide. To lay low while this whole thing could just blow over.
Jayson Matthews: Well that’s fine, I don't want to disappoint him when he gets here.
Sasha Grey: Why are you doing this? I thought we said you weren't…
Jayson Matthews: No. You said. But I'm tired of running from this. Im tired of people like Buzz or Ulf Hednir thinking that just because I'm a nice guy, that I'm scared of a fight. That I'll crumble under the pressure as soon as they turn it on. Well I'm not Sasha…..im not afraid of a fight! If this is how he wants it then I'll look Ulf or Buzz right in the face and we can throw down. Because I'm not afraid to stand up for myself and what I believe in! Even if you think I can't.”
He crossed his arms and looked at her. She tried to think of a comeback but she was stumped and just slumped her shoulders in defeat.
Sasha Grey: I'm sorry. I don't think that your afraid. I just don't want this fight to be over me. I just feel guilty, you know?
Jayson grabs her by the hand and stares into her brown eyes.
Jayson Matthews: I understand that. But I'll tell you what Sasha, your worth fighting for. I like you a lot Sasha and if Buzz wants to try and ruin that, then I'm willing to try and stop him.
They both share a kiss. In the background they can both hear some commotion coming from the outside getting louder and louder. They watch the door, waiting for what may be coming and suddenly the door bursts open and in the frame stood Buzz. He looked soaked from the rain but had an evil twitchy glare set right at Jayson. Sasha screamed and she stepped behind Jayson. Jayson held out a hand toward Buzz who was running right toward him
Jayson Matthews: Buzz….we don't have to fight.
But he just kept coming right toward Jayson. He couldn't help but notice how big Buzz was. And when he punched him in the face, Jayson couldn't help but notice how strong he was too.
Fade out
“You know what Ulf?”
The camera opens up to find Jayson Matthews staring back into the camera lens. He was dressed in the new Jayson Matthews with the Donkey King tie on and it says “go bananas” on the back.
“I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.”
He slowly shakes his head.
“When I first saw you come into the scene I thought you were pretty cool. I really did. I mean, I thought you kinda talked funny but overall I thought you were a genuinely nice guy. I thought maybe we could be friends, train together, learn from each other. But all that changed when you joined the Council and that's when I realized that you don't even know who you are Ulf.”
He slowly shakes his head.
“Maybe I just got a bad first impression on The Council when they showed up at Bloody Assizes and tore up everything. Maybe the backwards riddles that Xavier Cross likes to preach about are good for you but forgive me if I decide not to drink the kool-aid on this one. In my humble opinion Ulf the Council and everything they stand for are terrible and to be perfectly honest Ulf, your good enough on your own that you dont need them. I mean you were doing fine on your own Ulf. You were turning heads and getting attention way before you became a supporting cast in the super scary Xavier Cross variety hour.
You didnt need to attack the main event to send a message. And I'll tell you one thing Ulf that I definitely know to be true…”
Jayson steps closer to toward the camera, his Invictus title draped over his shoulder.
“You sure as hell didn't need to put me through a damn table just to get a title shot. All you had to do was ask and I would have put the title on the line, I'm not a hard guy to find. But instead of stepping up Ulf, you let The Council show you how to do it the dirty way. I just thought you were better than all of that. But I guess sometimes you learn what people are truly capable of when you just give them the opportunity. But that's fine Ulf because if it's a fight you want then it's a fight your going to get.”
“And I'm not backing down oh no no no. You see I don't know if you noticed Ulf since your too busy plotting and scheming to get what you want and learning short cuts from The Council the Jayson Matthews Victory, gravy and associates train of justice had been rolling along down the straight and narrow picking up hard fought wins against former world champions and current world champions. I've been the one out in the ring building up the momentum while you've just been sitting bitch in the council group rental car. You can sit there and talk up a big game about how I'm supposed to be afraid of you Ulf but I'm the one in the ring every week proving why I deserve to be called a champion. And you've been nowhere to be found accept for behind me when you attack me from behind.
Well this time Ulf I'm looking at you face to face.
And I may still think that deep down inside your just a good guy that lost his way….well I plan on jack slapping you back to reality when I walk into Lineage and cement my legacy as one of the greatest Invictus champions there ever will be when I secure my first of many title defenses. Because that is important to me as well. I'm looking to get my first title defense and I know that my total days as champion are a little lackluster but you really haven't had any Reigns as champion so I guess my quick little Reigns as champ could be a year compared to you.
This Sunday Ulf I know you think that beating me is just a technicality. Something your just going to do before taking my title and it may happen, I'm not going to kid myself and say that you could never beat me but I do know that inside where true warrior’s spirit is measured I know that I will always be stronger than you Ulf. I know that when it comes to following heart you are weak. I can tell Ulf because you hesitated. You apologized. You wouldn't do that if you were purely evil. Somewhere there is a good guy trapped inside and I'm gonna do what it takes to teach you the error of your ways Ulf.
I'm coming to show you that while being in a cult with grown men and women and beating everyone up to prove a point that your not willing to step in a ring to prove it yourself is all well and good, but eventually it's all going to blow up in your face. If you can't stick to who you are inside then you'll never be strong enough on the outside and because of that I'm going to go bananas all over your face”
His fist hit the side of my face and I went stumbling back. It hurt. It dazed me a bit and I had to shake off. Once I did I saw Buzz coming right for me.
Buzz: I was supposed to be the star. But you stole it from me.
Just as I was getting up he clubbed me right in the back and I fell to the ground.
Buzz: I was supposed to be the top guy in class. I was supposed to get the big matches!
I felt his boot nearly pass through my ribs.
Buzz: I was supposed to get the girl!
I was leaning against the wall and Buzz tried to punch me but I ducked it and he hit the wall instead and left a dent in it. I kept thinking; that could have been my head. I use this opportunity to start hammering blows into Buzz’s face and midsection. It really only seemed to anger him and he just shoved me back toward the window. The back of my head hit the window sill. I tried to get up and just barely got out of the way as a fifty pound weight goes sailing through the window right where my head was!
Buzz: My life is already ruined….now I'm about to ruin yours.
Buzz is stomping toward me and I could tell he didn't care what would happen to me tonight. I had to do something…and that's when I saw it. Leaning in the corner, right where I left it. The very same kendo stick that Spike Kane used to attack the Wrestle Factory and the same Kendo stick Nighthawk used to fight him off. I grab it and I swing as hard as I could and it shattered on impact on the side of his face. It knocked Buzz for a loop and I took the opportunity to leap on his back and squeeze with all I could with a rear naked choke! Buzz was slowing down, he dropped to one knee. But then he stood up and with his last bit of strength his flung himself back first through the window! Glass shattered everywhere and a worried Sasha came running up to the window. You could hear police sirens in the background.
Sasha Grey: Jayson!?
She peaks over the window to Buzz just laying on the ground unconscious. She holds her breath as she looks for Jayson and finally after what felt like forever she finds Jayson pushing Buzz out from on top of him. He looked beat up but he still smiled.
Jayson Matthews: I'll be okay, somebody is going to want to check on him.
He tries to get up but realizes it hurts way more then he expected.
Jayson Matthews: And if there's time someone should check on me too….
He looks up at her and smiles.
Jayson Matthews: Told you your worth fighting for…
Fade on a kiss.
Even when we don't want to, against people we don't want to.
Sometimes your just not given a choice in the matter.
But I still think Ulf Hednir is a good guy.
