Foward: So this is strange, this ultimate side-stepping has lead to this brilliant dance...with no leader. Well it's time for a certain man to step out, a new face to the xWa audience. Someone you have never heard from or even have seen. This man is erin jacobs, a man who you may think knows nothing of you or the game, but in reality he will become you and he lives this game. After only a matter of days of having a contract with xwa, Devin Daniels has seen the intensity that this man holds. The pure talent that he sweats every time he steps into the ring. This game has been taken to a whole new level and the xwa will finally have their leader. A man who you will be proud to call your champ, someone you will know forever now. Things have gotten so much better in these past few days, a direction has been seen by few but a plan will be executed with the concern of all. The scene opens up in an empty locker room. You can see some fresh fruit sitting out along with a TV, Sofa, Chair, and a sink. Soon you see a tired Erin Jacobs enter the room. You can see sweat coming from his gray t-shirt and looks like he has been training. He sets his bags down next to the couch and takes a seat on it. Erin takes a deep breath and lets it out. Erin then runs his hands through his hair and rubs his eyes. He then grabs a towel out of his back and starts to wipe his face off. Erin then throws the towel onto the chair and gets up. Erin walks over to the sink and turns the water on. Erin washes his hands then his face. He grabs a towel and dries himself. He then looks into the mirror and begins to talk to himself.

.|[scene]|.

erin jacobs: So this is it, the XWA. A federation that is supposed to breed the best wrestling talent of all time. I know for some reason this all seems tried but in the end you must know who and what I am all about. For days I have worked for this, I have thoughts about everything I must do and who I must break. I have found it again. Once again I find myself in a new federation with flock of new faces and a varity of goals. This time will be different for me though, the path with not be paved for me and I will have to do everything within my power to try and make it. I see so many old faces, so many souls that have not yet been touched. I will continue to strap these boats on until the day I die and until that day I promise to do everything in my power to get the power I deserve. I wish you all could have been there, I wish you all could have seen the looks on the faces of the men when I walked into the XWA office building. I may have seen some women cry when they had to look into the face of pure evil. With all the waste they are used to seeing it may have shocked them to see a man of ambition...a man of pride. When so much of wrestling has become fake it can sometimes be hard to breath, but dont worry erin will take you back.

erin's conscience: Hello erin. I have been listening to you and I will tell you that what you have said so far has been true. You really have an idea of who you are and what you are about. The xwa has never before seen an independent thinker...they are all so wrapped up in themselves that they will one day find themselves victim to there own minds. But thats okay erin, you see whatever you think about any of these wrestlers now will change after you step into the ring with them. You have gotten in to the game and you are now a player. You must use all of your resources and you must develope methods of attack. There are alot of fans that are counting on you to guide the people, do you think you are up to the challenge?

erin jacobs: From this single emotion I draw power, from that emotion of power I draw life, and from that life I have drawn pain. It has become a pain that you have never before seen. I have started a life that you will never understand. There is a light now that will have forever blinded your eyes...but erin will help. I will put every question into perspective for you and I will chart the way for many of the wreslers. You asked me if you thought I was up to the challenge, what you need to understand is that I am the challenge...I am the one thing that you can always count on to provide answer. The answers I provide will always be in the form of pain and you can count on every single wrestler having to answer to me...this has become dangerous, the xwa now has a man that is playing for blood and I will start by taking out every man in this federation...I will continue to deliver pain until I get my gold. Which brings me to my first challenge. I have been here a matter of days and I am already the number one contender for the title and I do have the chance to be the first xwa champion. This Friday I step into the ring with Eric Bruce. A man that has been on a roll ever since this place has been going on. This is a man that has had an unhealthy exposure to success and it will soon be a terrible fall of a man that thought he would be a legend. This guy claims to have a hunger that can only be feed by winning more and more gold, but it ends here. Soon this string of luck will run out for I am now standing next to it...and I will be cutting this string.

erin's conscience: Really, when then that answer suprises me. Never did I expect you to be a man that had a dream for gold. I know you have held various titles before and all of them being important but everytime I see you with gold, you seem like a wiser man. I dont know if this makes sense or if you even believe its me, but know that you are dangerous and know that you can have anything you want. With your money being pain you will be able to provide yourself with anything you want. When you signed your name on that contract you signed a part of your life, you signed every thought, every emotion, every dream, you signed away a man whos body has taken more punishment then any mans should. But as you lay in bed at night, and await a certain dream, you must know now that all your dreams will be different, you will never think the same two thoughts anymore. All of that has to do with focus, from the moment you signed your contract, you became a focused man. As far as Eric Bruce goes, I completly agree with you. Never before in my life have I ever seen someone like this...a man that actually believes he has some kind of gift. The worst part about this match though, is that it couldnt just be a regular match...oh no, that decide to put you into a ladder match. A match in which anything and everything will happen, and the honestly expect to still have their two best wrestlers after this match.

erin jacobs: To tell you the truth though, when you look at the card, is there really any match that matters but mine? I know when you look you feel like you are looking at some kind of masterpiece but what you are really seeing is a terrible marketing idea. They could have promoted this event in so many more ways...they could have seen the match I was in and road that one to the end. The biggest mistake they made was putting their two best talents in a match in where it will be hard for just one man to walk away. Look at this...whenever you see one and only erin jacobs on the card you know you are in for a treat...a man that will go through hell to make sure that he not only keeps the people happy...but also the company. I have never been this focused for a match before...I suppose that is a good name for it, focus, something every man strives for. When you can honestly say that what you feel is focus it can sometimes be rewarding. This is the very thing that I have built up for myself. When starting my journy in XWA I can promise very few things, infact I can promise basically nothing. For first things...I can not promise that I will have any matches because I don't book the matches. All I can do is show up and work my ass off, which Intend to do. But it seems like this same chapter has been written over and over again. It somehow becomes this overdone story. Who knows, is this the end for me? Can this be the very federation that I end my career in. I just hope I can make this a story of happy endings, because every other federation I have been in has ended terribly. I can't stomach another stage of depression and I promise that I will start the attacks this Friday. I promise that Eric will fall victim to me at Fury.

erin's conscience: I am not sure if this has completly sunken in your mind...do you realize that you are in a match where you could be crowned the first ever XWA World Champion. You would be on the top of the federation. You would have nobody to look up to when your king of the hill. I have often questioned if anyone would be able to lead this fed, if anyone can do it, it would you. I have never heard anyone speak like this...so much anger, so much depression. I often entertain myself with thoughts of the past, with memories of chair shots and a face full of blood...It has become the one thing that you remember, pain. You have taken this life of wrestling for many reasons...for one to become a champion...for another to become the man you have always wanted to be. From the moment you were born all you have desired is success, and never has anyone ever taken the time to think about that. You have always been pushed away in the shadows and at times you were forgotten, but that will all end. When you step back in the ring you will be that posterchild for all the other kids just like that. You have come to be a role-model for the troubled youth and as always, you will impress.

erin jacobs: It's hard not to see...when I looked at the faces of so many shocked people. Never did they expect to see me here and with so much on the line. I have been working for this moment since I can remember. I have been in this situation so many times. I have seen the rise and fall of so many great wrestlers. It's times like this that I look at wrestling for what it really is...I can see superstars that have the desire and those that are hardly give anything to benifit themselves or the company. From the moment I first steped into this arena I knew that I could make something of this company, I knew that with just a little entertainment I could bring this place to it's feet. I could have the fans screaming my name in just a simple night...I could strike jealousy, fear, bitterness into the hearts of so many. From the moment my music hits so much will be on the line. The whole outlook of the federation will soon change as I begin to run wild through the roster destroying every challenger they put in front of me. I don't care who it is...I dont care how many it is...being in this kind of shape has only shaped me into a better man.

erin's conscience: You will walk into Fury a man on a mission. You will walk into your match with Eric and you will see it as a chance to prove yourself to all the fans and all the people in the back. I can just tell how the emotions will be built up for this match. Both of you want the title and it then becomes a question not of who wants it, but who wants it more. You can pretend that it means nothing to you when we can all see what it has turned you into. You have become a calm, focused man that has the ability to do whatever he wants. You have an advantage over every single member of the roster...see you are able to watch their recent matches and you can study. None of the wrestlers in the roster have any idea who you are or what you can do in ring. That must spark so many feelings from you. Feelings that you can then turn into agression.

erin jacobs: And my favorite part about it, is that the feeling is never the same...I could pretend that it is all better when really it is only the start, only the start of so much to come. I can feel fueds, I can feel gold, I can feel blood. And from the very second I joined this federation, I knew exactly what I was getting into, I knew there would be pain and there would be loss but from this moment on it would feel the same, I would never be the same. I am playing the man I have always been...never much more then a tormented soul or a lost mind in this game of smarts. I could go up against any man and I would outsmart him...it would not be far-fetched to see me win gold...because I am just that much smarter. Who knows though, maybe I am wrong about all of this, maybe I will be way out of my league and I will be stomped into the ground. Its not likly but its possible. I know that there is always that risk and that is what I love...that is the very emotion that is keeping me in check. When the rest of the game is played very heavy and you know that you are only going to get caught up in the mix. I have been waiting and waiting to get into this mix, to start hurting people in ways that only I can do it...I know its far off but I have dreams of someday becoming heavyweight champion. I want to be an icon, I want to be loved, I want this to be painful, I want the fans to cheer my name. Its like the ticking of the clock, in my head, each tick brings me just that much closer to getting in the ring, until I can finally reach my goal of being the champion I need to be...for you and for me this will be painful. Nobody can hold this against me though, because you have all be warned and that is the only warning I will give you.

erin's conscience: So they must all pay attention because this will only come once. Who knows, maybe weeks from now you will be on the top of the company. I see great things for you and so does everyone else. I could see the joy when you signed your name, they knew they were signing much more then ratings. Keep up with things and develope your mind. Pretend that you have already won and the path will be much easier. They will come to you and you will have to defend and you will always win, no matter what. Even if you are left in a pile of your blood you have won and for that you will be saved, for that you will be saved. Do not fear any of these men because they have no more then you do. Accept your place and move up the ranks, take no prisoners and defend you territory, defend your pride, and save yourself. Make this one to rememeber and always stay on guard, they will come to you, and you will be ready. The game will never end, your strength will carry you to the top. For a man with your ability is only has good as his mind allows him to be.

erin jacobs: So most of this is finished now, and it can be counted and left to dry. I have exactly what I need and every single breath. They have yelled for me before and now they extend their hand. I will never accept. I will forever rebel because I can, and thats the sort of thing that will keep me here. They will try to hold me down, but I will get away. They can try to break me but I will always mend. I have immortality here and at peace with the world, this is my heaven and this is my hell. And know that I mean it, whenever those jaws drop...to have the fans screaming "holy shit" in everyone of my matches. To stain the mat with the darkest of bloods, yes this is my world and you are living in it. Who do you think made this all a reality, what exactly are you thinking was at the start of this for you. I am a talent that they have tried to collect and even though I am in their name, I will step out of their shadows. But know that when I say, that the worst is yet to come, that I mean every word of it. I will be a virus to infect the xwa...slowly picking off each member until I reach the top.

erin's conscience: And really, thats the only way to do it...by going through the ranks you will be able to achieve so many great things. You will develope so many new skills...this run of yours will be one for the ages. Just remember were you came from though, don't forget to pay respects to those who brought you here. I know that you want to believe you made it on your own but really...nobody can do the things you do now. You have made more men bleed then could ever be counted. You know you have what it takes to make it far, but know to yourself that you didnt get all this way by yourself.

erin jacobs: Are you kidding? When have I ever had help? Anything I have done has been by myself. For the basic fact that I trust nobody...I live my life for myself so everything I do or say is to benifit myself. You have no idea when you say that and you, being in my head should know better then anyone that some of the things I have done have been incredible. That is an absoulute joke when anyone tries to tell me that anything I have done in my career has not been done by myself. That is the sort of thing that will drive a man crazy, these self-doubts I have. To hate this side of myself with the sort of passion that I do. But believe me when I say that I have done this all for and by myself and I will be damned to let anyone tell me different. All the sweat, tears, blood, bones I have given have been unforgiven and they will never heal...and I guess I will never heal either.

erin's conscience: I suppose you are right. When you stop to think about it, I guess you have taken this road alone, I am sorry for doubting you. Well then continue to do things like you have been doing. You can at any time, become a man that is feared by all, when you get that look in your eye, or when you have the certain gold. You will stop at nothing to become a powerful man...so remember those things as you start your career in xwa, and remember that each word you say or each move you make can take you either one step closer to success or it can bring you just another step back. erin, you need to take the rage, and all the self hatred and turn it into agression and become a threat to not only yourself but every other wrestler who dares step into the ring against you. You must though think that your match will take place...you will be stuck in the moment for this certain period of time and neither you or Eric will be able to move.

erin jacobs: But then again who knows, all of these wrestlers could be defeated by me or they could defeat me. I have given up putting myself above the rest, because right now I have nothing more then anyother wrestler. Right now I am doing my best to become a champion or to keep winning matches for aslong as it takes to be the man I want to be. I do not want to be a self-hater but I cant stand looking at myself. When I catch a glance of my hand or my arm, I would love for nothing more then to just break it off. Thats why I love pain, it's the one thing that can always bring me down to the real world. It will always leaves me wanting more. Then again, the disapointment is not caused by much and maybe the grading has been tough but I will overcome. Its like hearing that song that makes you smile or winning that game that you never thought you would, that has been the story of my life and I will continue to overcome until I die. And no matter if I like it or not, it will still be even, the battle will continue to rage and I will touch ties with the past and my old ways. I can feel some of it coming back as I continue to specify. As I draw things out only knowing more now then I have ever done before. The images of victory scroll by my eyes so fast as I much move along to keep up. I will soon rest easy to know that its over and I will have my only friend along side me...my words. I can count the wins or I can be happy with defeat, either path will be without me. I will not become that man as it is much easier then I thought. I will agree to make them happy but deep inside I will strive for more. My life will never be the same after this run as I finally understand that inspiration is the key to success and I know now what I must do and how I must do it. If any of what I say makes sense to you then continue to listen, because you will be saved before the night is over, but know now that this will be the rise of erin jacobs, and soon the pain with start...not only for Eric Bruce but for every challenger that attemps after that. I will slowly break off the roster until it is known and accepted that I am the champion. I have the one who is supposed to hold this title. Beware Eric, I'm coming to get you.

Fade To Black...
