Adam Lucas appears on screen, speaking from his hotel room. He sits on the edge of a running bath, leaning forwards, his hands clasped together.

“And welcome to the latest edition of Chris Elite…Stating the obvious. I mean, I guess I should be thankful, because you at least agreed with most that I said, which is something new for me. You’ve not let your head go so far up your ass that you are no longer able to see the truth when it is presented to you… so that’s good. But bro, come on. I think I spent the entirety of my first two promos telling you quite clearly that I KNOW you are Chris Elite. I know what you have done in the past and what you are capable. I made it clear, just like I make it clear every week, I don’t think for one second that I think it’s going to be easy. It shouldn’t EVER be easy when you step foot inside an EAW ring. So, Chris for all the good you did in that promo, understanding your situation right now, and where you find yourself, I have to tell you that there is still an element of ignorance there. Because although you have indeed listened, and that cannot be denied, you obviously haven’t listened enough. So much so, you told me everything that I already knew. And you know what Chris, I get it. I get the reason why. You have become used to people dismissing Chris Elite as a nobody, someone that can be easily defeated without much effort. You have gotten used to people bringing up your defeats, whilst ignoring the lengthy list of accolades that you have amassed during your career. Chris, you can be forgiven for feeling a little paranoid. I can understand that overriding emotion, and you believing that I’m only going to give you the same. But you should have seen in my two offerings that I am not the same. You very nearly got there and admitted that yourself when you said that I always come with something fresh. I don’t need to dismiss you as a threat Chris, and you know why? What would that achieve? What would it do for me if I defeated the image of Chris Elite that most have. I want the ‘name’, I want you to turn back the clock and find something in yourself. I don’t want anything to be easy, not ever. If I could take you back how ever many years it took, and get the best Chris Elite I could, that is precisely what I would do, because I’m not scared to lose. I want the best, so that I get the opportunity to beat the best. You shouldn’t be worried about being a bad guy, or a good guy… because I’m certainly don’t care. That kind of thing never matters to me Chris, and because of the times we’ve faced, you should know that. You’re an opponent. An opponent who has quite the reputation. A reputation that means that beating you, would enhance mine, and that is ALL that matters to me.”

Adam shrugs, Chris should have known this but obviously didn’t.

“Because yes, since you came back you haven’t had the best of times, but let’s be honest with each other, it wasn’t particularly great before, was it? Yep, you won the Tag Team Championship’s with Jake, and that is of course a proud moment, but I’m not going to get into a conversation about who carried the team and who didn’t. This isn’t a tag team match, and neither of us have a partner, this is one on one and if we are truthful, in that domain your results haven’t been great for the better part of this season, and THAT is the reason why I had a problem with you being anywhere near the World title picture. What you did was mess up a World Championship match, and then get an opportunity. How do you think that looks to everyone else who is trying to ‘work’ there way into those chances? And how do you pass it off? You’re only defense. Predictably, because you are Chris Elite, and your name sells. And usually, that would have been my focus Chris, because that attitude, as I stated in my last, it is that attitude that is holding you back. But that came the glimmer, the green shoots of recovery. I heard something that gave me hope. I heard the claim of ‘adapting’ and how you’d never run from your problems. I’m not going to lie bro, that got me excited. It made me believe that maybe I’ll get that match that I want so badly. What was it you said again? Iron sharpens Iron yeah. I like that. If I leave Showdown victorious, but battered and bruised, I’ll be happy. I’ll be happy, because ultimately, we will have put on a show worthy of our brand.

So, no Chris, I’m not one of those guys that believes that you sleep through your matches and get annihilated every time. I have eyes Chris, and although many around her walk around blind, I am not one of them. If anything, those people that have discounted you, you should have used that to your advantage. If they had dismissed you, it meant that they weren’t prepared, but you didn’t take advantage, did you? When I said you were a steppingstone Chris, you obviously misunderstood, I wasn’t being derogatory in the slightest. I was simply telling you how it is. No, you don’t get ‘dog walked’ but you haven’t been winning either. Simply because sometimes, it’s not about the performance, sometimes it’s just about the victory. ‘Should’ have won, doesn’t bring about the belts. Sound familiar considering what happened at Reasonable Doubt. It’s arguable that your performance that night was the best in a long time, but you didn’t get the title, did you? But what did you gain? If you can’t see that for yourself Chris, I can’t help you. All I can tell you is that over the course of this season, in just the King of Elite tournament, I cannot say I out-performed every opponent, but I did out-last them. That’s the bridge you have to cross this week on Showdown. You could have the performance of a lifetime on Saturday, and not be able to put me away. You could be so close, but then realize that you are so far. That is the Elitist I have evolved into Chris, someone that can be put down, but is VERY difficult to keep down. And I’m not afraid to say that during the King of Elite tournament that served me well. Even in the final, when the whole world believed I was finished.”

Adam turns off the taps, putting his hand into the water, happy with the temperature. He then turns back to the camera, his iPhone set up and rested on a shelf.

“The comparison with Ryan Wilson stands Chris, because whether you like it or not, you are both looking for something right now. For Ryan, it’s to make good on all the potential that he has always had, and for you, it’s to find what you USED to have. And I’m sorry, but he’s a lot closer to achieving that goal than you are. He could become a Tag Team Champion this weekend, just like you were not too long ago. He’s been putting in the work, after a couple of seasons of being just like you, relying on his name. Without even having the achievements that you have to back them up. He’s confident, because he has momentum Chris, where you unfortunately in this case do not. The fact you don’t like being compared with him, shows just how dismissive you are of this ‘journey’ you say you won’t ever run from. Your name means you are higher up the ladder than you really are, but reality states that you are beneath Ryan Wilson, and until you get a handle on that, nothing is going to change. People talk to you like that Chris, because other than you being that ‘name’, the rest of your history means nothing to them. Understand that, and then, perhaps people will truly believe you are serious about rebuilding your career. Because whether you want to accept it or not, a rebuild is exactly what you need if you ever want to reach those dizzying heights again.

So, Chris, if you are as unfocused, or as uninspired as I claimed, and to which it seemed you agreed with, know that I couldn’t care less what it was like to be Chris Elite back in the dark ages, when protein shakes where replaced by alcohol, and you actually stood out from the rest. I don’t want to understand right now what it is to be top of the shop, I’m only interested in finding out for myself. If you still ‘sell’ at least that is something, because the eyes of the wrestling world are going to be on OUR match, which is exactly where I want them to be. If Kennedy Street believes that you are the one to ‘uplift’ this brand, then it will be my pleasure to prove her wrong… again. But then again, I know that the reality is, she isn’t that stupid. She’s got a raft of new talent, just like me, eager to scale those heights. Hungry to be the next Answers World Champion. Angry that you jumped the queue like an entitled bitch. Believe me, she isn’t going to turn to you Chris, not in your current state. Giving her credit as a businesswoman, building her brand around someone as obviously disillusioned with his current situation as you would be career suicide.

Woulda, Coulda, shoulda, that’s all you have to give. I know I can do it, one day I’ll prove I can do it… all I gotta do is ‘find’ myself. How you going to do that Chris when you’re not looking in the right places? How you going to do that, when you still think you’re the ‘man’. Finding yourself Chris means stripping it all back. It means forgetting who you once were, and what you once did. It means sliding down that ladder, and starting again… believe me, you’d get more respect if you could bring yourself to do that, but you can’t can you? Yeah, beating me would be a statement victory, but that says more about me, than it does you. Yeah, it would kick off some momentum, but it would only be a beginning bro. I love that statement, I don’t want to admit you are capable… dude, wash you mouth out with soap and water. How many times have I said who you are Chris? If you weren’t, THIS WOULDN’T MATTER. It does matter, and yes, it won’t be a walk in the park. And if it was, I’d be even more disappointed than I would in defeat. That is the measure of who I am Chris. All of this is a massive deal to me. Yes, I won King of Elite, but that was only a beginning, who knows the limits of what I can achieve. There are no guarantees, and I accept that, but you need to accept that if the stars align, you do your best, and I do mine, I will win that match. I’m stronger, faster, fitter and more durable. Those fans that loved you, are now on MY train. Recognizing the future of this company. You’re not an afterthought, far from it in fact, but you are no longer the big deal you think you are, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry I have to prove that to you in the only way I know. By beating you and setting you back to square one once again.”


Adam stands, moving out of shot for a few moments as he wipes the mirror that has steamed up, before picking the phone up and putting it in front of his face.

“So please Chris, come at me with all the gusto you showed in your promo. Give me the ‘face’ of the brand, and that ‘big dog’ that you have promised. You think I don’t see it; you think I don’t see how much you want it. You think I don’t believe you can climb that ladder again, but you are so, so wrong. I see it, I welcome it, but I sure as hell won’t let it be me that forms the starting block back to success. Bring EVERYTHING Chris, all that you have, and I will do the same. And although I’m sure I’ll be telling no one it was an easy task… I’m pretty damn sure I’ll be telling everyone that I won.

Why?

Because I like you sat in that rear view mirror. I like to occasionally look back at you, as a measure of how far I have come. But that said, good luck Chris, and I hope that eventually you get everything you want, I really do. However, your glorious comeback will have to be put on hold, at least until the next opportunity. This Showdown, I show you how far I’ve come… end of.”

He salutes the camera, the scene slowly fading.​
