~*~*~One of the most annoying things in life is when people make assumptions about you, your family, your well being or your personal thoughts and beliefs. We all know how it feels. That moment when your wife tells you "what you meant was..." or that moment when someone says "You might as well have said...". We all know how it feels. We think to ourselves in annoyance of the fact that someone is telling us what they either think we don't know or they are telling us what they assume that we meant. Any human being of average intelligence or who can speak with some kind of ease knows exactly what they are saying when the words come out. Generally we don't mince words as a species and we cannot hide behind lies or rhetoric for too long.~*~*~
~*~*~We see Lance sitting in the living room with his family. Lance and Jessy are sitting beside one another on a couch and Zell is playing with some toys on the floor. Jamie is also sitting in the room, working on a laptop across the room at a desk. The family seems to just be spending some time together before Lance gets on the road to go back to the IWF.~*~*~
Lance: I have to admit that the one time that I hate is when it is time for me to say goodbye for another weekend. As much as I want to be back in the ring, and believe me, I do, I miss being with you guys. Hopefully when Zell is a little bit older we can travel together as a family at some point. Or maybe we can get Jamie back into the ring.
Jamie: Not a chance dad. I got to see the way that you guys get to live when you are out on the road and trust me, I am more than happy to get my medical degree and continue being a career student for the time being. I want to have some sort of dignity around me. There is not a hell of a lot of dignity or respect in your line of business. Sure, you get some, but that is because you paid A LOT of dues.
Lance: Fair enough I guess. I just liked that short period of time when we got to travel together.
Jessy: Well, with the company that you are keeping, I am not sure that I really want to be around you at all. Let's be honest, Spike Kane has a name for himself and he tends to like to go after families and loved ones when he wants to go for someone's jugular. I feel much safer at home with our security.
Lance: Speaking of the guys in the back, did you hear Bates this week? The guy comes out and then says that my family is falling apart. One little argument and he thinks that we all hate one another. The guy seems to really not have any idea what is going on around him. I guess that is what happens when you live secluded seemingly and you have the kinds of mental issues that he has. When you don't trust anyone you figure that one argument equates to hatred. I guess that guy just isn't as smart as I thought he was.
Jessy: What? You don't think that I hate you? Of course I do.
~*~*~Jessy rolls her eyes at the foolishness than someone on the level of Bates has. Not just that he thinks that the family of Lance hates him but that he actually thinks, like man others, that Lance has no idea who or what he is.~*~*~
~*~*~Lance is driving down the road now is his pick up truck and he has a spot camera facing him with low lighting shining into his face.~*~*~
Lance: On my way to my very first IWF pay per view and I must say that I have the butterflies going on. I will be tajking on Bates and a man that cannot speak for himself. It should in theory be a good match but the fact is that I am realizing that \i am getting into the ring with two guys that are lacking in the intelligence factor and that truthfully do not have a chance of holding a candle to me, lacing my boots or combining their intelligence to compete with my in ring intellect.
I have been called a lot of things in my career. I have been called an asshole, called ignorant, really just called every name on the book, but one thing that I haven't really come up against is a man of lower intelligence trying to tell me who and what I am. That happened this week. Bates decided that he should tell me and the fans something that "they didn't know" and that fact was essentially that I am an asshole that will do anything for money, fame and fortune. REALLY? Didn't I say those same things in my latest interview? I don't remember ever mincing words. So many times in my career I have told people not to trust me because simply, I cannot be trusted.
I don't really think that anyone is surprised when I pull the usual stunts that I do now a days. I have made a career out of it. Most of the time I tell people what I am going to do, I do it and then I tell you why I did it. This is another of those cases. When I arrived here in IWF I told everyone that I was here to one day be champion, I was here because of some old friends and I blatantly told you that I will one day take down Spike Kane...I didn't tell you that I was on the same side of the coin as Spike, but Bates, I don't think that anyone including Spike Kane really believes that either he or I will turn on the other at one point. If he continues to hold the title, one day, that means that one of us is going to attack the other. After all, we always have made great friends and better enemies. That's the truth. We both know it, but congrats on reading the last page of the story Bates. You almost sounded intelligent.
More to the point, I know exactly what I am. I suffer from grand delusions, also known as Megalomania. I think most wrestlers do. Let's take a rational look at it. We come out here every week and we try to tell the world why we are the best, why we are the best in the business and why the people should idolize us. This business is based a lot on talk. You tell people to care and most times, on some level, they will. But the truth of the matter is this, most of wrestlers could walk down a random street on a random day and nobody would know who the hell we are. We all have some level of belief that we are powerful, that we are might and powerful or that we are gods...really, for other than the few million people that watch wrestling every week, the vast majority of people have no idea that Lance Ryan, Spike Kane or you Bates exist. but we do the same damn thing every week.
Next time that you want to come out on television and let people know who I am, check in and see if maybe I have told the people that I am indeed that person already. In this world where few people know who I am, I do believe that I am the second coming of christ. I do believe that I am a god and I know and have proven that I am an Icon. I know that I am powerful, even more powerful now that I am in The Empire and I also know that on the ever-important ladder of success that we have here in the wrestling business I am better than you Bates and I am better than Toala as well. Hell, even with five years of rust, I am better than almost everyone, if not everyone in this business.
Magalomania is a funny thing. Most people don't know that they have a psychotic disorder, I on the other hand credit that disorder with my success. I have been successful and I continue to be successful at this and everything that I do because I know that I am a God among men. See you both tomorrow night, I promise you that Lance Ryan and The Empire will again stand strong. And if it matters to a few million people, that is all that matters.
