The scene opens to Shawn Sturgis pulling out his phone scrolls through and clicks. Slowly pulls the phones up to his ear. Few moments go by, as you can tell there's no answer from the other side. You can see the grief in Sturgis' face as the voicemail box answers.

Yo Simmons, this is Shawn, I been trying to get a hold of you since Sunday Night after your match with Ogawa. From what a few others along with production said you seemed pretty upset when you left. Just think, you got rid of that piece shit tin, now your ready gain some real gold. That's kinda why I am giving you a call, after all the shit we went through I feel you turned your back on me, and if you didn't that's fine. But here's the thing I need to start focusing on me, I feel like this Sturgis and Simmons thing was kinda a far shot but it was worth the try I suppose. No hard feelings big guy, but I think you need to take some home time and think about where you move from here. Anyways man I wish you the best of luck.

Shawn drops the phone from his ear and looks into the screen.

The thing about being at the top of your game, everybody wants a piece of you. We take one little leap, and suddenly we're drowning in obligations. To our fans, to our colleagues, to EAW itself. So we do what any sane person would do. We run like hell from our promises, hoping they'll be forgotten, But sooner or later, they always catch up, and sometimes you find the obligation you dread the most isn't worth running from at all. Ask any wrestling why they became an Elitest and they usually tell you the same thing. The high, the rush, the thrill of the fame. For me it is the peace. Peace isn't a permanent state, it exist in moments, fleeting, gone before we knew it was there. We can experience it at any time, in a stranger's act of kindness, a task that requires complete focus or simply the comfort of an old routine. Everyday we all experience these moments of peace, the trick is to know when they're happening so that we can embrace them, live in them, and finally let them go.

If I remember right the match at Bloodsport was a Ultimate Opportunity, I don't want to insinuate that this match prize is the same thing. I expect this to be far more important then just a title shot. When I hear Unique, I expect it to be something so rare that it almost sounds to be to good to be true. If it's a title shot, great and it is anything like the match at Bloodsport, it'll be for the Interwire Championship. As much as this sounds so inline with that match, it just sounds to good to be true. So does it make it Unique? It only makes sense. So we have it Rocco, a prize worth fighting for. Yea that belt isn't cold hard cash, but it'll lead to it. With a championship brings endorsements, and endorsements is what puts food on the table. That makes it all worth the while. That's what will give me the determination to drive harder, Weather you think it's a defeat, it's a bet I'll make.

Paranoia is a Elitest best friend.

Paranoia gives you an edge in the ring, Elitest play out the worse-case scenarios in their heads. Us as Elitest spend a lot of time focused on the future, planning it, working toward it. But at some point you start to realize your life is happening now. Not after wrestling school, not after you sign your first contract, right now. This is it, it's here, blink and you'll miss it. When a match like this begins, you generally have no idea how it's going to end. The grave you dug, might as well be yours, the the electricity that runs through your body after going through one of those make shift light ropes, second thoughts run through the mind. All the pain I've gone through in the past six months, will only make the coming pain second nature. Every member of this roster has a shadow, and the only way to get rid of a shadow is to turn off the light. Stop running from the darkness, and face what your fear head on.

Just like the bullies on the playground, pushing around the small kid, thinking you have some sort of upper hand because you look and act intimidating. I wouldn't put it past you Rocco, I bet you got your jolly's off as a kid, bully them for for no good reason. I'm sure you'll try and bully your way through this match. I hope you do, so that I can over come the same defeat Sarah Price did this past week on Voltage. I told you not to underestimate her, and what did you do you walked out of Voltage looking like a fool. Take some advise, relax and bring your A game, that cardio beast you speak of, and put on a show that's worth watching. Regardless of the extra obstacles, or what backyard setup we got going on, you'll still bring that ruthless fortitude. No matter what the outcome of this match, as long as you claim some sort of prize, you did your job? Rocco that's not a mind set of an Elitest, someone like you should be able to take this match with ease just by your brute force alone. We know that, but the question is, is your mindset where it needs to be to follow this match through? Are you ready to be the victim this time if things go my way, Imma do things that only happen in a horror show.

Defeat isn't an option, not for me. I don't back away from the table in till I hear my name being chanted throughout the arena. I am not easily intimidated, nor do I flinch or back down, and I certainly don't surrender, not this time anyways. To do our job we have to believe defeat isn't an option. No matter how big and bad the man or woman on the other side of the ring is. Alun Jones we have a lot in common, both of us being second generation wrestlers. Both living in the shadows of our legendary fathers. Hoping to live out out their legacies, hoping that one day we have our own legacy to leave. We are both young hungry lions living in world of beasts, but as lions we know we are meant to be at the top of the food chain. We have a man that is evading our pride, and we need to show the rest that we can over come and be pack leaders. What I am saying Alun, you need to get out of your own head, about all your doubts. Overcome the odds, forget the voices and the distraction and be yourself and show the true potential that your father bestowed on you. The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive. Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a Man of Value. It can be scary to find out you've been wrong about something but we can't be afraid to change our minds, to accept that things are different, that they'll never be the same, for better or for worse. We have to be willing to give up what we used to believe. The more we're willing to accept what is and not what we thought, we'll find ourselves exactly where we belong.

Some people believe that without history, our lives amount to nothing. At some point, we all have to choose, do we fall back on what we know? Or, do we step forward, to something new? It's hard not to be haunted by our past. Our history is what shapes us, what guides us. Sometimes our history resurfaces, time after time, so we have to remember, sometimes the most important history, is the hisotry we're making today. We shape our past by things we do today, and this weekend things are going to change for 3 individuals, that will pave away to title contender ship. We all will go through hell but only one man will be able to walk out of Shock Value The Unique Opportunist. One man will go on and live out one his dreams, possibly becoming the next champions on Voltage.
