(Who was it that said that we all chose our own destiny? Some say that is a falsehood. They say that there is a higher power that controls your life. But in the eyes of Hendrix...he has control over his own destiny....and the destiny of his opponents.

The last couple of weeks have been rather uneventful for the Headliner. First a close loss in a three way match with Soldier X and Mike Storm and then his first appearance at the IOA pay-per-view was wrecked when his opponent lost his nerve and didnt show up. These events havent made Hendrix look good in front of the IOA staff. But this week he finally gets a chance to show his talent. Jimmy Blast is his opponent and Hendrix is more ready than he ever has been.

This brings us to the present...

Its Tuesday morning in the Manila Arms hotel in downtown Manila, Phillipines. Hendrix wakes from a drunken stuper to notice that there is a very attractive Filipino woman cuddled up against his chest. He lifts up the covers and looks down with a sly smile on his face. He then gently gets up from the bed and slips his pants and shirt on and walks over to the window to look out over his view of the city. He stretches and yawns and then just stands there overlooking the beautiful scenery.

Just then the woman wakes up and Hendrix walks over to the bed and looks down at her. She looks up at him and a smile comes across her face. She then gets up out of the bed and walks over and gives Hendrix a long kiss. She picks up her clothes and begins putting them on when there is a loud knock at the door.

He can hear a man outside the door shouting in Filipino. The knocking gets louder and louder until Hendrix finally opens up the door. There is a man about a foot smaller than Hendrix standing in the doorway with a baseball bat in his hand. The woman that was once happy all of the sudden becomes terrified and runs into the bathroom. The man puts the bat up to Hendrix chest and pushes him back a little. Hendrix just stands there with a confused look on his face.)

HENDRIX:Hey..hey calm down. Whats going on here?

(The man continues yelling at Hendrix. Hendrix cannot understand a single word he is saying.)

HENDRIX:OK. I think I know what you are saying and I will tell you this. I didnt know it was your wife dude. Hell I didnt even know what happened until this morning. So calm down and put that bat down before you get hurt.

(The man pushes Hendrix again with the bat. Hendrix quickly snatches the bat from the man's hand and rares back to swing. The woman jumps in between the man and Hendrix and stops him from bashing the man's skull in. Hendrix lowers the bat. And the man and woman go together in a weeping embrace.)

HENDRIX:Bitch. You and your little hubby there are lucky. If it wasnt for the fact that I would end up in some rat infested jail I would crush his little skull in. But you arent worth it. Hell..you must not have been that good or I would have remember what happened.

(Hendrix walks over to the phone and calls security to get the couple out of his room. As the security officers escort the crazed man and his wife away...Hendrix just stands there and shakes his head. When everyone is out he lays back down on the bed to get a little more sleep but he is startled by the phone. He answers it and notices that it is his business manager. It seems that he has scheduled Hendrix for a promo about an hour from now. Hendrix slams the phone down and then heads for the shower...)

-----------------------------------((1 hour later))-----------------------------

(Hendrix is inside the arena backstage area getting ready to cut his promo. He steps into the little room where the cameraman is waiting and takes his place in front of the camera. The producer gives him his cue and he starts to speak...)

HENDRIX:You know..I came here to the IOA because of the fresh competition. But lately it has been getting annoying. I mean my first match I got beat because Soldier X couldnt hold his own. Then I show up at my very first IOA Pay per view, Global Anarchy, and my opponent fails to even make an appearance. This is really starting to piss me off. Whats next? Do I walk into the ring and my opponent explodes on his way down the aisle? Well..I hope this Jimmy Blast has the balls to back his big mouth up.

Yeah you heard me right...big mouth. Because thats all I can see of him that he is half decent at. I heard him running his mouth about how great he is. He considers himself some kind of "legend". Legend of what? Ive never heard of you son and I have been in this business for a couple years now. The only place I can see you would be a legend is in that small little mind of yours. But those thoughts of grandure will be gone after Heat Wave. Because when you step into the ring with The Headliner Jack Hendrix...you will truly see what a legend is. All others you have ever faced will pale in comparison when you come out of that curtain and look up into the ring and see me standing there...waiting for you to step into my world.

(A smile comes across his face and then the smile turns into a look of disgust)

HENDRIX:You see Blast...Blaster..whatever the hell you call yourself...I am not someone that should be screwed with. So when you come out and run your mouth and practically look past me you are setting yourself up for a rude awakening. Because I havent made it this far in this business by letting little bitches like you talk shit about me. But right now I am not worried. Because I know that we are going to meet at Heatwave. And there is where you will pay for running that big mouth of yours. You are going to learn what it is to recieve a truley painful Hendrix eXperience.

(Hendrix stops talking and heads out of the room and begins down the hall way. As he makes his way down the hall he passes by Will Uncanny. They both stop and stare each other down. Then they head their seperate ways.

Will anything come of this? I guess only time will tell....

FADE TO...well you know)
