The Blame Game

[Nick Knight]

Do you like games?

{He makes another move.}

You do? Well let's play my favorite, the blame game. I know Kasey Vex loves that game too because last week all she did was talk shit about how I lost our first match when she didn't do a fucking thing to help out.

That's alright, I'm man enough to take part of the blame. I made a mistake in thinking that I could count on a complete fucking stranger to have my back even if it was in her best interest. I guess I should have expected that kind of bullshit in this business.

Well last week I decided that Kasey deserved to get exactly what she wanted. I let her take over the match to show the world that she is something other than an unproven newbie, but she screwed the pooch and let Viv beat her in the middle of the fucking ring.

Now we walk into a match that is damn near pointless. It doesn't matter if we win or lose because we'll still have to wrestle in the first round. The only thing that really matters now is not getting hurt because I really don't give a shit who I've got next.

{Nick starts to knock over his king, but stops and sets it back up.}

Then again, losing this match would be a fucking embarrassment. I have proven to the entire world that Masao might be the future of professional wrestling, but I'm still the fucking present. I even think that Kasey is capable of keeping up with Rini Ishikawa

I just don't know if I can trust Vex to do her part to win, or will she just continue to play the blame game. Will she actually work with me to pick up the victory or am I going to have to carry the whole fucking team on my back? I need to know because I will leave her out there to fucking rot on her own.

What's it going to be Kasey work together or do you want to keep on playing the blame game?
