The cameras show Nick working on some practice dodging strikes with Nate Fate and Alex Blade getting ready for his match with John Nash Stradder and Wraith. Nick is dodging the strikes blindfolded. Nick stops for a moment catching his breath and takes off his blindfold and sits on the mat looking at Nate and Alex Blade and speaks.
Nick Danger: This training session is very intense. I thank you guys for pushing me to my limits. But I feel like it’s still not going to be enough to defeat Wraith or John Nash Stradder.
Nate takes a deep breath while Alex tosses Nick a water bottle and Nate speaks.
Nate Fate: We do need you at the top of your game Nick. You're facing Wraith again plus you are facing John Nash Stradder a person you never faced before in IWF. Me and Alex wants to help you get some more points in order to win the tournament.
Alex nods in agreement and speaks
Alex Blade: You are at five points so John Nash Stradder is at five points. Wraith is at twenty points. In order for you to get more points is to win by submission and tie with Matt Knox. But in order for that to happen you need to win by submission. Also you need to make sure Wraith doesn’t pick up the win.
Nick drink some water and looking at Alex and Nate and speaks
Nick Danger: I also have to focus on a way to keep Wraith out of the match. But I have to make a strategic plan and put it into motion. There is a chance that someone will come to screw me over so I have to be prepared for that. So I just have to be on my guard when the match starts.
Nate takes a breath a sits next to Nick and speaks to Nick
Nate Fate: You can’t over think it Nick you just have to go with the flow. But you should not let it bother you about you beating James Gilmore. So tell us what is going on in your head.
Nick signed for a moment and speaks
Nick Danger: It bothers me that I can’t find a way to defeat Wraith. I know that is super tough because of his father and mothers training. But in order to stay alive in this tournament I need to do everything in my power to defeat him. Then go on to face Matt Knox who is at fifteen points in the finals probably or it will be another triple threat match with me, Matt Knox and Wraith. To face the winner of seed A. I can’t overthink everything guys just need to focus and fight past my doubts.
Alex sits next to Nick as well and speaks
Alex Blade: It’s okay to have self doubt Nick but you shouldn’t let it hold you back. Everything will be set in motion as long as you have your head up and ready to fight for the chance to be part of the tournament. But Nick, I think you should take a break from training today. I want you to spend time with your girlfriend and your family as well. Yes it’s okay to train and push yourself but you can’t lose yourself into the wrestling company and forget the people who really had your back.
Nick takes a breath and sign then speaks looking at Alex
Nick Danger: I already know you will have your back rather I am champion or not. Amy wants me to get better. But I think you are right Alex. so what should we do for the rest of the day?
Nate snaps his fingers and speaks
Nate Fate: Let's go see Blue Beetle today guys. I mean it is a chance to relax before your match on Odyssey. So what do you say, Nick?
Nick nods his head and smiles with excitement and speaks
Nick Danger: Hell yeah let's do it, guy. Then tomorrow we get back to work.
Nate and Alex both nod in agreement and all get up and go to have fun. A few days later Nick is in his family's trophy room looking at his family's accomplishments and the old championships they have won for themselves. Nick looks at a picture of his father winning the world heavyweight championship that is framed. Nick looks at the camera takes a seat on a black office chair and speaks
Nick Danger: This week on Odyssey I am at a final chance round to earn points to stay alive in this tournament. I can't lie, I think I've done a lot better than two years ago when I first entered the Heir To The Throne Tournament.
Nick takes a deep breath and speaks
Nick Danger: When I first entered the Heir To The Throne tournament back in 2020. I plan on being the breakout star of that year. I did push each person I faced in that year's tournament to their limits but I didn't win. The tournament was won by the current IWF World Heavyweight Champion Dean Harper. After I didn't win that year I felt like it was never going to happen again after not being part of the Heir To Throne tournament for two years. When I was told that I was going to be part of this year's Heir To The Tournament I knew it was a chance to show that I am someone that can be the future of IWF. I don't want to keep on being in the shadows of everyone's success when I can be the IWF World Heavyweight Champion and in a different company I can be a World champion as well.
Nick stands up looking at the Rising Star l trophy that he won in 2019 and holds it in his right hand and speaks
Nick Danger: When I first won this Rising Star tournament it showed that I can do a lot more in the wrestling world. So this time I vow to earn ten points to start alive in this tournament and win it for myself. But first I have to get past my opponents who are John Nash Strader and Wraith.
Nick takes a deep breath and speaks
Nick Danger: John Nash Strader a person who hasn't been IWF that long but showed that he ain't nobody to look down on. John me and you come up the same way in the wrestling business. We are both third-generation superstars and both look up to are grandfathers and fathers. I got a chance to watch your match with James Gilmore and I got to tell you I was impressed that you pushed a former two-time IWF heavyweight champion to his limits. You have won a lot of titles in your career and that is great. I see you are in a relationship with Alexandria Calaway and have a daughter as well.
Nick sets the trophy back down on the table and speaks
Nick Danger: But I can't let you win this coming Tuesday on Odyssey. Yeah, we come from the same background but I have been overlooked long enough for not being a part of this tournament saying that I don't have a chance of n hell at winning this tournament. So that is why I must win and I can't back down from this fight. Give me a fight, trust and believe you will get your money's worth my friend.
Nick looks at the camera with a look of determination and speaks
Nick Danger: Wraith I save you for last my friend. It still stings that I didn't have the chance to defeat you the first week of Heir To The Throne. I know it should be left in the past. But every time you hold that IWF World Television title on your shoulder it bothers me. To me, it means that I didn't deserve to be a champion. But that isn't true I may have not held the title for a short period of time but I will regain that title from you Wraith that is not the fact it is a promise for myself. When I lost the title, my father called me to check out how I was doing. I told him I felt defeated and I was never going to be at your level. My dad told me two things: that I should take pride in how far I have come and have faith in how far I can go. The second was that everyone's success comes after their greatest disappointment.
Nick takes a breath and speaks again
Nick Danger: I may have failed against you Wraith but I can't fail again. This time it will be very different. I may not have someone in my corner. But as long as I have a strong heart and a fighting spirit I can't lose. If I don't win this year I sure as hell will do everything in my power to get back the IWF World Heavyweight Championship from you. So I will see you and Mr. Strader at Odyssey. Because I have to stay alive so I can have the chance to be this year's winner of Heir To the Shrine winner.
