“You know something Jake, there should be some kind of amendment to free speech, for certain people. I get it, America was built on it, but when someone can’t do anything with words but act like an absolute dipshit, they really should be silenced… or shot. It astounds me that someone who can come up with some of the most creative ways to win matches without using his wrestling skill, steps in front of a camera and comes across like a repetitive madman without a single coherent thought. No Jake, I don’t want to know what goes on inside that head of yours because it must be like a minefield. Nor do I ever want to hear your thoughts on any given situation again, because there has never been anything to gain from that. It’s boils down to something very simple, you claim you are better than me, but you have never once proven it. The problem you have Jake is that everyone can see with their own eyes, the only reason I am not the World Champion right now is because you are a fucking pissant who takes the easy route every single time. And couldn’t overcome the first obstacle that kept you from running away. You are presented with the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and you FAILED, where I succeeded. Machina took the title from you in exactly the way he said he would, and how the rest of EAW knew someone would, even if it wasn’t him. I wanted to take the Championship from you at that point Jake, so in that moment any revenge I felt towards you was insignificant. Then King of Elite happened, you fucked me over again and here we are. It's that fucking simple, are you that thick that you can’t understand. I’ve not been breathing down your neck… thanks to some extreme fuckery, our paths have been made to intertwine by the management of this brand. If King of Elite had been reversed like it should have, because Charisma openly admitted he saw what went down, again… that would have been it for you and I. But you, and this company had to keep poking. Somehow, you ended up in a four-way that you deserved no part of and contrary to your narrative, a match you bitched you way into after getting what you deserved. None of that is made up, it’s all the truth as it panned out, and it’s only you that cannot see it. This obsession with ending you Jake, is all yours and Charisma’s doing. You both forced my hand when the World Championship was the only thing I wanted. Damn fucking straight I’m fed up with it, and if Machina had been fucked over by you as many times as I have, he would have lost his head and have you eating out a fucking straw by now. You want to be grateful that I’m more tolerant, more patient. Unfortunately for you, my patience has now run out. Whether you or I win the title or not Jake, you can rest assured that you and I will dance again, and I’m going to make sure that like at the Extreme Elimination Chamber, you can’t escape. I’m going to take every comment, every discretion, and I’m going to ram them down your throat, seeing as it’s already used to taking a load from Charisma. Then finally, I’m going to get you out of my life for good, one way or another, because believe it or not, I never wanted anything to do with you in the first place. You’re a cunt, and by the time I’m finished with you, you won’t be as useful as one.
And that is not a threat
Let’s talk about your ‘hype’… bitch please. Do you really think that there is a person alive who truly believes that you are going to leave Shock Value with the World Championship. Welcome to the world of the underdog little buddy. The only reason people are giving you a chance, is due to your history of finding a way. Are you the strongest person in this match? Are you the fastest? Are you the most durable? Are you as determined to make this stick? The answer is no on all counts, you might have brass knuckles, or a chair, but when it comes down to Jake Smith being simply Jake Smith, you’re not that big a deal. It’s funny, how you keep banging on about me mentioning my achievements. That was all you ever did in the beginning… throwing two title reigns at me was you favorite, because it somehow proved you were better. Remember? Of course you don’t. You know something though Jake, perhaps you are right, maybe I don’t want people to forget because after all it is over a year since I was World Champion. Maybe I do want people to keep it in the back of their minds. What I will say however is that people DO remember, whereas your two reigns aren’t recalled for your dominance. No, they are remembering because you were an even bigger chicken shit than Charlie Marr… another question you conveniently avoided when I asked you what kind of Champion you thought he was. Avoided because he did the same things you did. But you shrug all of that off don’t you Jake, because you don’t care, you keep claiming that you run was something more than it was. It’s sad in all honestly, that someone who reached the top of the mountain, will never command the respect it deserved, and that the reality is it is all your own fault. So yeah, OK you’re right, I don’t want them to forget what I have achieved. But I don’t see how that makes me any different to a single person on this roster. Guess what remembering what an individual is also called? Legacy. Something that currently you will NEVER have.
Ah, the mirror again huh?
What do you see when you look into that same mirror Jake. When you say Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the greatest of them all does it reply yes. Or does it reply with a grunt, and say not you, you ugly cunt? I know where my money is at. Honestly, knowing me as well as you say you do, do you TRULY believe that in some ways I don’t hold myself accountable for some of this bullshit that has been happening to me. Taking accountability for myself, is exactly what this season has been about, molding myself into the Elitist I want to be. I faced facts a long time ago Jake, but that doesn’t mean the perpetrator wasn’t you. I should have seen that chair shot coming from a coward like you, but I didn’t. I should have known you would bring brass knucks to King of Elite, but I didn’t see you fetching them. But YOU swung the chair, YOU smashed my face in with the knuckles… and Captain Charisma let it all happen on his watch. Those actions, deserve consequences Jake, and believe me when I say this quite clearly to you. This is over, when I say its over. Not you, not Charisma. ME. Regardless, win or lose… I will get you at a marquee event and break you in front of the eyes of the world. You’re not right about me, you never were. And when our time comes Jake whether that be at Shock Value or not, I’ll prove it. In a way you cannot. Hard Work Jake… you’ve never done a day in your life. But you will have to. Very soon. Walmart beckons for you.
(Adam pauses, his eyes slightly narrowing as his obvious disdain for Jake Smith shines through. A deep breath and he is clam again, ready to talk about someone much more worth his time.)
“Yeah, I said it Mike, and I’m only repeating what I was told at the time. I mean, to me it makes sense seeing as most others who come through those doors get put in that bracket immediately, or the Specialist Championships. Did it sound disrespectful to the titles, because if it did, I apologize because I meant no disrespect at all. And it certainly wasn’t to dismiss what you have done or did with the New Breed title and the records you set. I don’t need to get into what you did with that title, and what you are currently doing with the World Title, I’ve already covered that, though you seem to have already conveniently forgotten. All I was saying, if you could not get your panties in a bunch, is that you are not the only person to have every blazed a trail in this company, and you most certainly won’t be the last. You did it with an early title reign, credit to you. I did it by learning my craft and beating some of the biggest names in the business before reinventing the Hardcore Championship. I was too good for the New Breed division, and I must accept so were you. You proved it with an inevitable record-breaking reign. No, I didn’t tear the place down like you did in those early months, because back then my motivations were far different to what they are now. I was told by my mentor to never rush into things and learn the lay of the land, and as far as I was concerned, at the time it was good advice. It allowed me to rebound from losses, and it still does. That question still remains for you Michael. Yes, of course it could be something that never happens, but failure does strange things to people. Do I care that much about it? Not really. Something to say on camera, right? A throwaway comment that let’s face it, you’ve spent more time on it than you probably should. I’m not going to say it’s the first sign of a little doubt, but maybe it could be. Perhaps a thread to pull on… who knows?
My ‘problem’ Michael in those early years that perhaps did hinder my rise a little, was how long it took me to realize that there is not a single person in this place that wouldn’t fuck me over to get where they wanted to be. You’re correct, I was given a sense of reality from my mentor that simply didn’t fit within the halls of this company. I held onto that for way to long. Years too long. And yes, I have no doubt that it cost me. But the reality is, and something you need to understand, is that I still got there. Against all the odds, I found a way. And yes, Beth was involved… not sure if that was a slight did there, but I’ll let it slide. She did put the facts in front of me, but she didn’t make the decision like some claim. Nothing changed on that score, the decision was mine. What happened? Well, ain’t that the question, and something this company may never know. But what I went through after Pain for Pride, believe me it was far worse than anything that could ever happen to me in that ring, worse that bleeding out in front of the eyes of the world. Still even now, no one understands what I became that night except for me and my wife. I digress. Yes, I was late to the party, but I’m here now. And it all ties into one of the first questions you asked me. How far will I go? Michael, you are a fucking juggernaut, you’re the champion, and ultimately, you’re not a prick like Jake. But believe me when I say this, you cannot hurt me like you say you can, not when I’ve already been to the depths of hell, pissed on the fires and come right back. The ‘reservoir’ is a good analogy, because there is so much more for me to present. And Shock Value, is the perfect opportunity for exactly that. Just as you like it Michael, no bullshit. Just me taking from you that which is currently yours.
Because unbeknownst to you, I can. I WILL
Even now Machina, we find ourselves in a situation whereby you ‘think’ you know who Adam Lucas is, but you don’t have the first fucking clue. You don’t have a clue, because you haven’t taken the time to do so. That is where your arrogance and over-confidence fails you, because you aren’t seeing me any better than Jake Smith does. You’ve not said, so I don’t know, do you think Jake is right? Do you believe like he does that I am a loser that doesn’t belong here? I’m not asking for ‘flowers’, I have no need for that, I just want to know if you are furnished with the finer details of who I am, so I don’t have to listen to the inevitable excuses. Limmy Monaghan has got a saying he uses quite a lot; the blade is me. It works here as well… I’m more than you have thus far considered. The two of you have mutual respect it seems, so I’d suggest you have a chat with him, about who you are really facing. Up to you. I’d never say this task will be easy, but right now, you are certainly making it EASIER. And I get why, you prefer to talk about YOUR traits. You prefer to talk about what YOU can do. Without understanding your opponent, and whether you like it or not, one day that comes at a cost. No, there is no secret of how good you are, and how powerful you have been. But to ignore who I am, with such a blase attitude, well, let’s just say I’ve seen how that goes. You’d ain’t the standard, those standards were set many years ago. Maybe, one day, you will be known as the man who changed everything. Couldn’t give two flying fuck to be fair Mike, but the disrespect you are showing this company now flies in the face of who you say you are, and if you’re lying about that, what other tall tales have you come up with? But big fucking deal, right? Naivety at its best. And the naïve Michael, they make mistakes. Guess who’s the worst person in the world you need to be facing, while making mistakes.
ME.
Whilst on the other hand, since the beginning of this week, I have demonstrated all the traits you bring to the table, and the challenge that I need to overcome. I’ve looked at you, and I’ve seen those strengths, whilst also seeing the weaknesses that you constantly gloss over as if they don’t matter. I accept, this match is far from a done deal for me, and it wouldn’t be even if I didn’t have to look over my shoulder at the annoying fucker who shouldn’t even be in this match. But I DO see you Machina, and you don’t have that same vision. THAT will turn out to be your biggest weakness of all. And you won’t recognize that, until it’s too late.”
