Owen Lee vs. Nate Chapel

[Owen]

(OOC just a short promo as Jon has gone on a sabattical.)

“I lost”

 

Owen shrugs his shoulder, surprisingly grinning from ear to ear.

 

“I mean, what else is it you want me to say? That I expected to win over and over again until I once again became World Champion? That Kandis was lucky to come out of the match with the victory and that I was robbed? Nope, it’s quite simple. I lost because, even though I care very little for how Kandis conducts herself, at that PPV, she was better than I was. And it’s as simple as that.”

 

Owen sticks out his bottom lip, reveling in the simplicity of it all.

 

“Now, I know what you are thinking. I’m guessing it’s something along the lines of ‘But, But, but… you promised to stop the Jackals’, and yes, you would be correct, I did say that. But let’s face it, I was never going to come in all guns blazing and beat some of the best talent the wrestling industry has to offer. I was never going to be able to walk back in and defeat someone who has been winning Championships for fun, and cannot be too far away from the World title picture. Kandis will not doubt regale everyone with my failure, believing that she has delivered some definitive blow. But she hasn’t… nowhere near. We ain’t done Kandis, we will dance again. And you know something Kandis, I think you know that too. Till then, enjoy your victory in your own enviable way. I just keep on with the process. See you soon.”

 

Owen grins, pushing his hair from out of in front of his eyes.

 

“We move… and in moving it looks like Nate Chapel is the next person in the aforementioned ‘processes. Now, I’m going to level with you Nate, I’m not going to come out here and claim I know everything about you. I’m also not going to wax lyrical about who I am, and what I did a few years back because that isn’t going to be of benefit to either of us. What I will say to you however is, just like Polly Playtime, you are someone that I need to beat. Now, Polly, she managed to get her knickers in a twist with that I said, when all I was doing was telling her the truth. She got it like I was looking down on her, when in fact, the total opposite was the fact. See, for eighteen months, I gave SCW my all, I won some, I lost some… but I was considered perched towards the top of the ladder. Then, I kinda lost my mind, and messed everything up, but that’s irrelevant. My point to Polly, as it is to you, was that I need to get back up there, and to do that, I needed to get past her.

 

Get that.

 

There I am, saying she’s above me on the ladder RIGHT NOW, and she gets all up in my face, just because I believe that my position in comparison is false. That I am BETTER than where I am. And to prove that, I need to beat her. Just like I need to beat you. You get that right Nate? If not, I honestly don’t know what else to say. Whilst I was away, people took my place… now I want it back. It’s that simple. Kandis proved it in spades. She actually got it believe it or not. She proved that right now, I don’t deserve the same place I before… but believe me Nate, I will. Very soon. And YOU Sir, are going to help me get there. See it’s like this Nate, I don’t know much about you, but I do know that you beat Konrad Raab. Konrad is a Champion around this parts right now”

 

Owen gives a mock shudder

 

“That means that you must have something about you. Something special that could help you to succeed in the future. I know you like a good time, maybe that’s everything to you, the good time, but I’m not buying that bullshit. You’re a talented wrestler, just like Polly. You’ve beaten a champion as recently as the beginning of last month, so surely you are on the way towards being granted a title shot for yourself.”

 

Owen grins, tilting his head slightly to one side.

 

“That’s where I would like to interject in that momentum. See, knowing that I’d set my sights too high at the likes of Kandis, I’ve had to ‘realign’ the crosshairs just a little. Readjust the scenario. I’ve been World Champion yes, but I don’t have the genetic makeup of a World Champion right now, that will take time. I can’t be a man that the SCW can trust to get it done every single time any longer… that’s going to take time too. What I can be however, is a Supreme Champion, and to do that, I need the Underground title as a starting point. And it just so happens Nate, that during my time away, I’ve learned a little something about the brutality of our business. What was once a domain I would once shy away from, knowing my limitations in such an environment, it is now a place where I believe I could thrive. That’s right Nate, if I could be so bold. I’m going to try and use you, to send a message to Konrad Raab that I’m coming for his title. I WANT his title. I’m going to claim his title, and go one step closer towards being a Supreme Champion. One step closer to my redemption. I may not have taken out Kandis yet, but Konrad Raab would be quite a start don’t you think? But first Nate Chapel, I gotta get past you. And that is PRECISELY what I’m focused on doing.”

 

Owen simply winks as the scene fades.
