Ah, is it that time of the week already? Man, how busy was this week? Not only the day to day operations of The Casino but I was fully immersed in Sacrifice this week. I was, I sat down on my nice leather sofa, flipped on my 72'' plasma screen, kicked back with a bowl kettle corn and watched the company I will be working for produce the show I will debut on and...well. I know what They want, endless praise. ''Oh how great was Sacrifice this past week?'' If that's the question They want me to answer I would have to say ''meh.'' The biggest let down to be honest was the ''main event'' where we saw three...I want to say wrestlers but I'm leaning more toward sports entertainers...and bad ones at that take on one of the most intimidating, feared men I have ever seen in the ring, Xander Famularo. Now I know it was just a plot device to push the inevitable..wait. I feel like I'm breaking the fourth wall. Can I say this?
Preston: This is therapy Davey, you can say whatever you want and who is this ''they''?
Davey: One question at a time Preston, and you answered mine so I thank you not to interrupt when I am talking. Now as I was saying it was a shameless plot device. Of course Xavier was going to come out to answer the big man, and show the world that when push comes to shove he can answer, and deliver. Other wise he wouldn't be the first IWF World Heavyweight Champion. Not to say that the show didn't have some instant classics. Like the, for me, huge upset victory for Cyrus Daniels. He beat Spike Kane, not just beat him but shocked him. Then, then he added insult to injury when he and his tag team partner Stephen Kingsley, made an example out of him. Have you ever seen Batman Forever? The scene where Jim Carry playing Edward Nigma laughed maniacally at the screen eating popcorn while Two Face caused havoc at the circus? That was me this past Monday. Loved it, I want to tell them I believe in Criminal Intent after that display.
Not to mention all of the Heir/Heiress matches. Personally I believe any one of those matches was on Main Event caliber. Then there was the average. The just par. Brad Kane walking down that aisle and ''throw down the gauntlet.'' The great Cruiserweight contender coming down to demand a title shot. Same old Kane politics. Remind, Demand, Repeat.
Though when the dust settled, there was one moment on Sacrifice that stood out, and it stands even more now. When Doc hit Angel with the Genocide Kick and then just walked away like nothing had happened. That single act told me two things about that man. He is patient, and he is dangerous. Any man who is perfectly willing to kick his boss in the face and walk away means that man has thought about this, and nothing will ever be random, or by chance with him. No matter how it looks. So after seeing all that, imagine my surprise to see his name right across from mine. When I found out he was my opponent for my debut match I wasn't to sure how I should feel. Excited to debut and make myself something better here in IWF. A little proud seeing my name on Sacrifice, I guess I haven't burnt all the bridges yet. Though I have to tell you how I mainly felt...ecstatic. Preston, for the first time in a long time I can not wait to get in that ring, and do the one thing that makes me feel free. In that ring anything can happen and I am going to prove it, that is the one thing I truly want to leave behind. The idea and proof that anything can happen.
Preston: Well, I'm glad you are not going at this blind, but it seems Doc has a plan too.
Davey: Doc's one and only plan is to deal with Angel. That is what he wants, that is his focus. His obsession. Angel is his Spike Kane. And if there is anyone on this entire roster who knows what it's like to be driven by an obsession it's me. I know where he is coming from, I'm already in his mindset. Also, believe it or not I LOVED his soliloquy about me. He pretty much captured how They perceive me, and he put it in a positive spin. The sarcasm conveyed effortlessly. Honestly, I'm sort of proud of it. As strange as that may sound I am. It showed my opponent knew me. Knew who I was because prior to Sacrifice...I had no idea who he was...
I know it sounds horrible but I am being raw and candid. Preston I had no idea who he was. So as I sat down at my lap top and look up the history of the man known as Doc. Then my right eye twitched. Damnedest thing really. Sunlight had caught my ring just perfectly to reflect right on my eye. Blinded for a half second and looking down, I came to a realization. No matter what people say, no matter their doubts one fact remains. If They want me to defend me, my actions, or my legacy in NCW I can, and certainly will at any time take my Hall of Fame ring from my ring finger, place it on my middle finger and give them a stunning one finger salute and there is nothing they can do about it.
The simple truth though Preston, is that this match is not about winning or losing for me. Of course I want to win but I want to do something even more. I need to prove that I am a challenge, I need my opponent to wake up not only knowing he was in a fight the night before but he was in a fight with Davey Ortega. For far to long I have been over looked, stereotyped in that one class that no wrestler wants to be in. They think that when the going gets tough, the Ortega chokes. I need to show that is no longer the case, and I need to do it with my debut. So if Doc pins me he does, but he will have to put everything he has on show because I'm going to prove that he underestimates me. I'm going to show him that my whole catch phrase, you know there is the rest of the roster etc is more than just a saying...facing me is something that you have to experience. If anyone doubts it I gladly will direct them to Trent Helms, The Ace, and yes even Angel.
You know Preston, I have enjoyed these last two sessions of therapy...maybe I was wrong about this. Talking about, love the idea.
With that Davey gets up from the couch, Preston is rubbing his eyes as Davey clearly doesn't understand the..well..entire point of therapy. Davey opens the door and looks back.
Davey: I'm sure there are Casino matters to attend too. Preston...
Preston looks at him.
