“You and I both know what’s going on here.”
The scene opens as we are backstage following Monday Night Brawl, isolated away from the public eye as we see Terry Borden standing his hands on his hips as he listens to someone that shown at all.
“The fact is John Cable doesn’t care for you at all; you saw it tonight when you asked to help him out and he kicked you to the curb… He didn’t want you anywhere near him when it came to going it alone against Tristan and Christian Connolly.”
Terry throws his left arm up in the air as he cuts into the conversation.
TERRY BORDEN- “Hold up one minute, brother.”
Terry’s arm once again rests on his hip.
TERRY BORDEN- “I refuse to stand here and listen to you down John Cable given the history that rests between each of you, DUDE! For all I know you can still have some hard feelings and this is your way of trying to garner a little revenge, BROTHER!”
The unknown, scruffy voice breaks back in.
“I don’t hold any hard feelings or ill will towards John at all… and our history has nothing to do with me pointing out the obvious, Terry.”
There’s a brief pause before the individual continues.
“Did you see him turn his head when Andy Johnson showed up? No! You didn’t! What you saw was him tag Andy into the match as his partner. How much plainer does the writing on the wall need to be? John Cable is using you just like he used Tristan and just like he’s going to use Andy Johnson and Chris Dorling to make himself more appealing, why else has he allowed you to tag along the last several years? He leached off your star power as well merging your followers with his until eventually Amerian-Mania isn’t even talked about anymore.”
Terry stands and you can tell that some of the words that are being spoken are carrying a little weight.
“You’re your own man and make your own decisions, so if you want to continue to be played by someone like Cable by all means do your thing… but if you want to change the landscape of the WGWF, if you want to rock it to its very foundation you’ll open your eyes and you’ll see that everything that I’ve said is true and YOU can change that.”
TERRY BORDEN- “I won’t doubt some of what you’re saying, DUDE! I just don’t see John in that light, BROTHER! He’s always been straight forward with me and I’ve always been straight up with him.”
“If he was that straight up why didn’t he accept your help BUT graciously accepted Andy’s?”
Terry ponders the question.
“You can’t answer it.”
TERRY BORDEN- “No… no I can’t.”
“He accepted Andy because Andy is younger, faster and isn’t as big of a joke as you’ve become.”
TERRY BORDEN- “You wait right there!”
“Calm down, calm down… I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way but you have turned into a joke, Terry. You’ve always been the comic relief… and now is the time that you yank the rug out from under the entire WGWF… and I know when to do it.”
There’s another pause, this time lasting several seconds before the individual is heard stating.
“Summer Madness.”
Terry chimes back in.
TERRY BORDEN- “Let’s say I do go along with this plan and it comes full circle, what then? Hypothetically.”
“Everyone sits up and takes notice of you once again and WE take over this federation. It starts in two weeks when you step into the ring with Christian Connolly for the Intercontinental Championship; everyone is expecting Connolly to run away with this on his road to Chris Dorling at Summer Madness…”
Terry lets out a deep sigh as the individual continues.
“Let me help you change the course of history and insure that you leave Brawl as the new WGWF Intercontinental Champion, and in the process show you that I have no hard feelings and that I am incredibly serious about the offer I’ve made.”
TERRY BORDEN- “How about I do this… I think about what you’ve proposed and I’ll let you know something; however, when it comes to Christian and the Intercontinental Championship this is something that I am going to have to go it alone on. If I am to leave Monday Night Brawl as the new WGWF Intercontinental Champion than I want it to be of my own merit and my own ability and not because someone, anyone lifted a finger to help me.”
There’s a quick pause from Terry before be continues.
TERRY BORDEN- “Nobody lifted a finger to help me when I won the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship back at Summer Madness years ago, and if we’re taking it a step further Connolly was involved in the match as well so in my mind I’ve already beaten him for the single biggest prize in this companies history and once I beat him in the middle of that ring on Monday Night Brawl in two weeks I can say that not only have I beaten him for the top title… but I’ve beaten for the second top title as well!”
“And I have the upmost faith that you CAN do just that. I’ll keep my distance and I’ll be watching, waiting for your answer because I’m telling you here and now that you and I could be a force like not to be matched by anyone from this federation.”
TERRY BORDEN- “I’ll let you know.”
Terry turns his back and walks away and down a corridor that leads to the loading dock of the building. It’s there that he meets up with John Cable and The Citizen as they are loading their bags in the trunk of the car that’s set to take them to the hotel.
JOHN CABLE- “Where you been man? We went ahead and grabbed your stuff.”
TERRY BORDEN- “Sorry about that, brother. I got held up…”
JOHN CABLE- “Seems like it… Look about tonight and Andy Johnson….”
Terry throws up his head cutting John off.
TERRY BORDEN- “I don’t want to talk about it… water under the bridge, right?”
Terry smirks as he pats John on the shoulder before the scene fades to black.
Borden’s Blog:
Let me tell ya something, BROTHER! There’s a lot going on around the WGWF right now, DUDES! It’s an environment where anything can happen at any point of time, and while I might not be the youngest I damn sure am capable of defying the odds and playing a huge spoiler for Summer Madness and the WGWF Intercontinental Championship, BROTHER! It’s billed as Christian Connolly versus Chris Dorling where there MUST be a winner; personally, I think Chris Dorling versus Terry Borden for the Intercontinental Championship has a better ring to it; and while I didn’t think I would find myself in this position so soon after losing a shot at the Television Championship I’m going to make the most of this opportunity, DUDE!
So let’s talk about you, Christian.
You’ve got to be the most conflicted dude I’ve ever seen, BROTHER!
You align yourself with THE Tristan Slater, you jump Chris Dorling on Brawl last week before coming out to save Erik Josten from a beating at the hands of Sentinel and Dark Truth within the same damn program, DUDE! So, what’s really going on inside that head of yours? Are you that conflicted that you can’t determine what’s right or what’s wrong anymore? I mean, I know we’ve both been around the federation for a lengthy little bit of time and within the business altogether a lot longer… and maybe you’ve taken one too many chair shots to the skull to completely understand that your actions make absolutely zero sense, BROTHER!
Maybe the truth lays somewhere in the middle with you, DUDE!
We’ve had our moments in the past both sharing the same allegiance and standing on opposite sides of the ring, come Monday Night Brawl our paths are on a collision course to cross one more time only this time it’s going to be for that Intercontinental Championship, BROTHER!
For the last nine months you’ve carried that title and have defended it like a Champion should. I won’t now nor will I ever attempt to discredit you reign because not only is it lengthy it’s not like you haven’t earned the spot that you find yourself in, DUDE! I don’t have to like or even understand what the hell you’ve got going on in that head of yours just like you don’t have to like that his opportunity has been afforded to me, BROTHER! I’m going to use this as my opportunity to get back on the radar of all the wrestling fans and more importantly on the radar of all the boys in that locker room… what better way to do that than by taking the WGWF Intercontinental Championship?
I more than anyone else understands that this is going to be an uphill battle in which the odds are firmly going to be stacked against me, DUDES!
I understand that on paper this looks like a glorified squash match put in place to make Connolly look good.
… The problem with all that rests when that bell rings this isn’t about what’s on paper, JACK! This is about who wants it more and right now I’m confident when I say that there’s not a single person on this or any roster that’s hungrier than I am at this exact moment, BROTHER! There’s nobody on this or any roster that has MORE to prove than I do right here and right now, DUDE! I know you’re smart enough to understand that nobody is untouchable and everyone has an off night… What if your off night is Monday Night on Brawl? What if the headline coming out of Brawl has nothing to do with the World Title Main Event and everything to do with Christian Connolly choking on the tip of Terry Borden’s dick, BROTHER!
I’m about to prove to the world, I’m going to prove to the New Breed that I am worth having around and that I can carry my own weight because nothing hurts more than offering assistance when your brother is walking into a handicap situation only to be turned down. John, I want you to know that actions speak volumes and it bothers me that you told me to stay in the back when I was more than capable to standing by your side. I respect you, but I don’t respect the decision to walk alone. Maybe you don’t have the same faith in me as you once did, maybe you don’t think that I am worthy enough to even be standing by your side.
I don’t know the reasons, what I do know is that leaving Monday Night Brawl with the Intercontinental Championship around my waist is going to go a long way in showing you that I am STILL the ICON, that I am STILL Terry FREAKIN’ Borden and that I am still man enough to hang with the best of the best or the worst of the worst. The fact of the matter is this, I’m not walking into Monday Night Brawl to squander an opportunity… I’m walking into the Brawl to make the most of it…
… and unlike Silence, Christian is my size.
Unlike Silence, Christian isn’t a Monster.
Christian is just an obstacle….
He’s an obstacle that I fully plan on running down, DUDE!
WHATCHA GUNNA DO WHEN ME AND ALL MY MANIACS AROUND THE GLOBE RUN WILD ON YOU!!!!
