We open to a view from the street outside the home of Mason St. Croix. As the camera zooms in closer something moving under the shrubs outside of the two story victorian style home becomes the focus of the scene. As we zoom even closer it’s revealed to be Jayson Matthews dressed in camouflage sweatpants,a matching t-shirt, and a camo bicycle helmet with branches sticking out of it. Jayson, his face painted in camo as well, grits his teeth and pulls himself forward like a soldier in Vietnam crawling through the jungle on his belly. Jayson freezes in his tracks as a Jeep pulls into the driveway and out steps Mason St. Croix. Mason immediately notices Jayson who tries to remain as still as possible. Mason walks over and stands in front of the shrubs.
Mason: I know you’re there… the question is why?
Jayson remains still, even going as far as holding his breath and trying not to blink.
Mason: Come on man, my dog shits under there. You must have it all over you, just come out and tell me what you’re doing here.
Jayson exhales and wrinkles his nose in horror before smelling his hand. He rolls out from under the bush and stands in front of the former Army Ranger, saluting him. He shouts loudly at Mason.
Jayson: I’M HERE TO LEARN TO BE A SOLDIER, SIR.
Mason chuckles lightly, choosing to play along.
Mason: At ease, Matthews.
Jayson: SIR YES SIR!
Jayson stops saluting and puts his arms at his side.
Mason: Ok seriously, why are you here Jayson?
Jayson: I want to learn to be a soldier, a true warrior like you. I thought since we were on the same team this week against The Council that you could help me find my dark side. Help me get to the place that you had to get to in order to do the things you've done in your life. You’ve killed children and I can’t even find it in me to hurt people who deserve it.
Mason shakes his head.
Mason: Again with the killing children thing? You make one stupid tweet and you never live it down I guess. I did it though, because it was either that child with a bomb strapped to his chest or my men and I who were going to die that day. That’s not something you can learn overnight or even over weeks or months. Some people don’t have it in them at all. You can’t hesitate, and you can’t doubt that what you’re doing is the right thing to do.
Jayson: I want revenge on the Sandman and I want to get my sister back from Cross. I don’t think I’m wrong for wanting either one of those am I?
Mason: Not at all. The question is though are you ready to do whatever it takes to get those things?
Jayson nods his head.
Mason: I don’t believe you.
Jayson: Huh?
Mason: I don’t believe you. I believe you’d do whatever it takes to get your sister back sure but I don’t think you have it in you to hurt Jason Sandman the way he hurt you. Every time you look at the scars on your hands you should want to hurt Sandman just as bad as it hurt when that acid was eating away at your flesh. Can you remember the feeling?
Jayson: Yeah dude, I don’t think it’s something I’ll ever forget.
Mason: Good… take that into our match this week and any other time you get to get your hands on Sandman. Make him hurt like he made you hurt. Don’t hesitate, don’t doubt yourself. If you get him one on one don’t think about winning. Winning the match isn’t all it’s about. If you beat him it means nothing. People will forget that you beat Jason Sandman in some random match but they’ll always remember what he did to you and so will you everytime you look at those scars.
Jayson bounces on his heels looking motivated.
Jayson: Thanks Mason. This really helped.
Jayson sticks out his hand to shake Mason’s then pulls it back.
Jayson: Sorry, I forgot about the poop under the bush.
Mason then sticks his hand out.
Mason: There’s none under there. I ain’t even got a dog, I was just trying to get you to come out.
They share a laugh and a handshake as the scene fades.
----------
I’d like to apologize to anyone I let down by not winning the Heir to the Throne. Something happened in the week leading up to my match with Spike Kane that is really messing with my mind and I plan to address that issue in the ring at Sacrifice. Also at Sacrifice I team with Jayson Matthews, Chris Card, and Devlin Raine team up to face The Council in Eight Man Tag Team action.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
The Council call themselves the greatest stable in IWF history but they’re not even the greatest stable in IWF RIGHT NOW. You were made to look like fools when one of your own broke away and formed her own far more menacing group. The thing is though, and Chris Card touched on it as well, groups like The Council and The Pack are destined to fail…
Just like all nine gimmicks that Xavier Cross has used since IWF began.
I figure you got maybe another month before you disappear only to return sometime in 2019 as Xavier Cross the born again Christian who has been on a mission trip to some third world country to explain your absence right Cross? Say what you want and yeah I’ve come and gone from IWF a few times myself but I was fighting a War and I’m always the same when I come back. It doesn’t matter how many times you change your look, your alignment, or your persona Xavier, you can’t polish a turd.
Yet you’re the “leader” of The Council, the puppet master pulling the strings. You should be proud, you got a burn out, a never-was, and a green kid that talks funny to follow you. You had to resort to kidnapping to get people to give a shit about you. You’ve come along way since you were IWF Heavyweight Champion, Cross. A long way down.
It’s like playing Eenie,Meenie, Miney, Mo to decide who’s next but the other three aren’t that important anyway. They all bow before Cross whether they want to admit it or not.
For someone that talks with the confidence of Kole Kaos you’d think he’d be more successful but all I see is a delusional asshole that makes a lot of bold claims but never backs any of it up. You say you’re not a follower Kole but everyone knows that if Cross tells you to jump you’ll ask…
“How high?”
You’re mortal, made of flesh and bone no matter what you claim you are Kaos. Flesh that can be torn and bones that can be broken. If I hit you with a Ranger’s Way you ARE NOT getting up it’s as simple as that.
When I told the story before my match against Spike Kane about how I watched tapes of his matches while I was deployed to the Middle East I said he was my favorite wrestler and that’s true but another guy who’s matches were highly regarded by all the troops over the was Jason Sandman. I was a huge fan of that guy. I guess I liked the more violent style and Jason was certainly violent. He was scary and did unthinkable things.
He also half assed his career away.
That’s why I liked Spike more, he always gave it his all. With Jason you never knew what you were gonna get. He’d look unstoppable one week and lost the next. It’s only a matter of time before Jayson Matthews gets his revenge, The Council disbands, and Jason Sandman becomes a footnote in IWF after never living up to his potential. It’s like rewinding the tape and playing it from the beginning.
Last but not least is the one that doesn’t belong. The square peg trying to fit in the round hole when it comes to The Council, Ulf Hednir. Youth and inexperience leads to poor choices and I’m sure when Ulf is a little older he’ll look back on this time in his career and wonder, “Vut de el wuz jeg thinking.” or however the fuck he talks.
The Council is crumbling Ulf, Legacy was just the beginning. You never belonged anyway so jump off the sinking ship before you drown. I’m sure you won’t this week though because while you like to consider yourself a wolf you’re merely a lost puppy and like any puppy you’re loyal to a fault. That loyalty will lead to your defeat this week I promise you that.
My partners and I have had a lot of fun this week at the expense of the once proud group known as The Council but at Sacrifice when the bell ring all the fun and games end and in the end.
The good guys always win.
