We're at a lake, Garth Black is sitting on a park bench feeding some ducks, he is joined by Becky Serra
So glad you could make it
Thanks. Why are we here exactly?
We're here to illustrate a point. You're not intelligent enough to grasp metaphors, so I've brought you to the metaphor. What can you see?
A lake, ducks, bread.
Ducks and bread is the correct answer Becky. Now, if we weren't here, feeding these ducks, would they starve?
I...I don't know
Not if they had learnt find their own food. But yet, they still come over to us to feed. Why do you think that is?
They like us?
Even birds find you tiresome Becky, so no that's not the answer. The answer is it's easier.
Easier?
Easier than you after two Babychams. The ducks let us feed them even though they could get their own food, because they don't want the trouble. But what happens to the ones that never learn to catch their food? What happens to the ones that expect me and you to be here every day?
They starve?
Yes.
Right. But how does that have anything to do with wrestling?
These ducks represent people like Blade.
Blade?
Yes Blade. He walked away from our match last week because it was easier than losing. He took the bread.
I suppose he did.
But that's when I realised it. As I listened to the referee count to ten, I realised that I had been taking the bread. I was just like Blade, just like the ducks. I walked away from my obligations to Second Coming because it was easier than dealing with the loss at Kingdom Come. What's worse, as I stood there, I realised that I needed to learn to catch my own food, I needed to resolve the issues, otherwise I'd regret it. Like the ducks would, and like Blade should. That's why I went to the ring last week, to resolve our issues.
He stops feeding the ducks
But you cost Phoenix the match?
Not deliberately. To be fair, he should have had Crashin beat anyway.
Still, he seemed upset about it.
He's a reasonable man, he'll get over it. The Second Coming will come again.
Wouldn't that be the Third Coming?
Semantics, Rebecca, semantics.
Onto Doug Crashin, he's your opponent on Ascension, any thoughts?
Not really. He has hardly been the world's greatest performer to date, and I think that he should prove to be nothing but a minor obstacle on the road to recovery.
Is that it?
What else is there to say? He hasn't beaten anyone, except Phoenix, and though he has as much heart as you have false chest, that isn't enough to beat me. Phoenix lost to him last week, but it will be me that raises Second Coming from the flames and takes us forward, just like it always is.
Ok.
I've got some pressing issues to deal with right now, so I have to leave. You should stick around here though, you might finally grow into the beautiful swan. Unlikely though.
He walks off
