A heavyweight championship mean that it had tradition, it had a legacy behind it. It wasn't about the over the top glorified swinging weapons everywhere that Frank is going to put an end to. It wasn't about the petty bullshit that people are trying to spew across twitter, it was about being the best of the best. It was about achieving that milestone that had escaped Scotty for his entire career. It was about achieving that milestone that he was supposed to achieve in Knoxville and he was well on his way to doing so before they fucked up. This was Scotty's chance to be able to step up to that plate, walk away with the contendership and then go on to face whoever the hell it is that he's going to face for the championship. To be a world champion meant to be the best of the best. It meant that you held the best prize that the company had to offer and putting that target on your back... but that's a target that Scotty accepted, it's a target he knew all about when it came to being a champion in general and it was a target that he was ready to accept and dominate just the way that the Hottest Commodity could. Jackson and Kessler had no idea what they were walking into. Everybody was doubting Scotty when it came to the predictions because he was new and that was perfect because they doubted Frank Washington and they doubted Drew Stevenson just as well but they didn't understand that this was the Jokers Wild. This was their promotion, it was their time to take over and that is exactly what they were just going to do. Jokers Wild wasn't something that everybody was going to understand at first and some would never begin to understand it, but people would always fear what they never understood. That's how Knoxville was, and Canada wouldn't be any different. This is the arrival of Scotty Addams and the Jokers Wild.
The scene opens up, an empty gymnasium, chairs and bleachers set up, all the lights off except for one solitary spotlight that focuses downward on a steel chair in the middle of the ring that has Scotty sitting in it. He sports a suit jacket with a TJW logo on a plain black shirt underneath and a pair of dark grey slacks and he sports his signature dark shades and a big smirk. What TJW stood for was dominance and that is what Scotty gave off as he sat in that chair and the camera zoomed on him a bit as he took his head from a lowered position to look straight ahead.
[Scotty]: "The Dark Horse" -- a self professed underdog by name alone. You know it's funny. It's funny because I've been there, I've done that. I've been that under dog, I've been that man that was trying to work his way up from the ground up. For the better part of my career that's what it was for me: being the under dog. I was the man that no matter what I did nobody ever looked to me, and saw this over the top, larger than life kinda guy. To earn the respect that I did... to earn that respect that I had busted my ass for I had to be that spot monkey. I had to do the stupid bullshit to get noticed and then I evolved. I evolved and became the man that I am now. I used to be that dark horse, I used to be that man that people tried to exile. I'm STILL the man that people try to exile because they don't know how to handle my talent. They don't know how to handle one of the single best talents to ever step foot inside of that squared circle and they try to exile me, but I look at you, Jackson, and you don't need to worry about being a dark horse. You won't need to worry about being able to unexpectedly pull out that victory because if there's anything that you need to understand right here and right now: It's that I'm Scotty Addams. I'm Scotty freakin' Addams and they call me the Hottest Commodity for a damn reason. No matter what company I go to, I'm the best thing happening, and if you can't see that then you've got to be blind -- maybe I'll be kind enough to let you borrow my sunglasses so people can at least get the idea and give you that 'special' treatment that you so deserve.
Scotty paused for a moment, enjoying the silence around him as it kept him company in peace.
[Scotty]: As far as I can see, which I'd say is pretty far with my perfect 20/20 vision, The Valours put you and Kessler in this match against me for filler. He's put you in this match against me so he can at least say he put me in a match to 'earn' that contendership but the two of you know it, I know it, the Jokers Wild knows it, all the idiots in Knoxville know it because they lost it; you all know this match is just a formality. Anybody can go online to your bios and see that the two of you are only part-time stars and I shouldn't even be wasting my time getting dressed to fight. When that show starts the Valours could do the best thing possible for their company and just skip all the formalities and just give me that contendership because I don't give a damn if Jackson is six foot six, two hundred and seventy seven pounds, I don't give a damn is Kessler is just trying to be a carbon copy of Scotty Addams with a few more tattoos, I'm walking into the arena on the 22nd and I'm walking out with that contendership. See... I've gone through my entire career with one thing, ONE THING that has gotten away from me: the world championship. The big one,... that big one has been the only one to escape me but not anymore. Not anymore because I won't let it. This is who I am, this is my legacy, this is my destiny. All the time I've spent in business... all the blood, the sweat and the tears that I've shed for this business... the Valours finally did something right. The Valours finally gave somebody deserving a championship shot. The Valours stepped up to the game and he saw The Hottest Commodity, he saw a talent so damn hot that he has no CHOICE but to put me in with this world championship picture because I deserve it. And the difference between guys like me and the other punks that come around saying they deserve this or deserve that... I've done things with my career. I've taken my career to heights that many could only wish they were able to reach. When people hear the Scotty Addams name, they say that he's the best to never be world champion but it changes on the twenty second. It all changes when I step into that ring because I've face bigger, I've faced badder than Jackson. I've faced stronger technical wrestlers than Kessler. See, as far as I see it right now I've got this one in the bag....
Scotty smirks and shakes his head a bit, removing his sunglasses.
[Scotty]: This one is in the bag because there's nothing that either man is going to be able to do to keep this one away from me. See... I'm determined to ensure my victory. I'm determined to do whatever it is that I've got to do to get that win because I don't just want it... this win.. I need it. I need it to fulfill my destiny. I need it to achieve that next milestone and I'm going to get it. Whether you believe it or not, whether the community continues to vote against me or not... it's not going to matter. It's not going to stop me from doing what I do best: dominate. Consider this notice not just to Kessler, or Jackson, and it doesn't matter if it's Brett Starr, Greyson Blaze, or Pat Gordon... it could be the almighty zeus for all I give a damn. There is nobody and nothing that's going to stand in my way from this milestone. I've achieved all in my career thus far to exemplify greatness. I've achieved all so far to exemplify why I am the Hottest Commodity because no matter where I go... greatness is sure to follow. So before I go ahead and let you on with my parting words I want the Valours to listen up and listen good. On the 22nd I'll be there, oh you can bet your asses I'm going to be there and when I show up I'm going to give you the alternative right now to skip all formalities. I'm going to give you the opportunity when I show up to just hand me that world championship because if I have to go through those little pretty boys of yours? If the Jokers have to go through any of your boys.. it won't be pretty when our faces are across the headlines and our names in the lights reading JOKERS WILD: UNDISPUTED GREATNESS. You've got the opportunity to save yourself, your company and your roster from embarrassment. You did the right thing signing us, and telling all the idiots in Knoxville to suck a fat one but that was only phase one, my friends. December 22nd... will you save the embarrassment of their destruction? Or will they have to learn their lessons the hard way? Either way you choose... it won't matter because we like to hurt people, and we like to rule. Jokers... are always wild.
Scotty from his back pocket pulls out a playing card. He flicks it to the camera with a smirk and a slight laughter, bringing his sunglasses back across his eyes, the spotlight that shone on him shut off, leaving the arena in a black state of no lights as he exits the ring. The camera zooms in on the card that sits on the wrestling mat, using the built in light on the camera we see a Joker and the scene fades out.
