Scene: St. Louis, Missouri | Orton Family Home Time: Thursday, 12.11.03 - 6:15 PM Next Match: Vs. Chris Jericho [World Title #1 Contendership - Singles Match ]
[|. xwfv2 .|] From Bad To Worse... is how Randy Orton can explain how his World Title situation has gone in the past 2 weeks. Suffering two losses in a row and having to come face to face with the reality that if he loses this next match at Up In Smoke to Chris Jericho he may never get a World Title Shot again has definately takin' its toll on the Third Generation Superstar, whos family was brutally attacked by Cactus Jack a little under a week ago. So with Randys own conscience doubting him and his abilities thus far in The XWF time will only tell how this effects the young blood. Fate has thrown one final chance towards Randy but he must first get though Chris Jericho in the process, no easy task since both men are off two big losses and can't afford losing yet another. So with such high stakes for each of these men who have seen nothing but downs ever since this whole World Title mess has started we can bet to see a performance nothing short of extraordinary this Coming Sunday Night from The Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from both 'Y2J' Chris Jericho and the young Randy who has been known around the locker room as 'The Prospekt' more so than anything. But it's not going to take some fancy nickname or catchy entrance music to become XWF's Number One Contender to The World Heavyweight Title. It's going to take a heart like no other and the intentions of taking home a win instead of yet another loss. It's do or die for Chris Jericho and Randy Orton come Up In Smoke of Two Thousand and Three, only one man can be Number One and only one man will go to The Royal Rumble in January with a World Title Shot against either Triple H.. Christian.. or Cactus Jack. [|. xwfv2 .|]
" So You Want To Be A Superstar.. "
S c e n e: We're given a view of a perfectly groomed lawn that isn't all that unfamiliar to us in the slightest. In fact, if I'm not mistaken it was the exact place where Cactus Jack and Mikey Whipwreck were hiding out before they visciously ambushed Randy Ortons entire Family residing within. We are given only the view through the camera lens as we move across the lawn and up the front door. A Mans hand, guessed to be an XWF Crewmans hand rings the doorbell and waits.. waits.. waits. As it doesn't look like any is coming to the door the Camera Crew sees it fit to just let themselves on in knowing that The entire Orton Family, (Accept Randy) has been checked into the hospital and may still be there and also that Randy may be inside the home right now. They enter the house cautiously until a couple of moments later they realize the house is empty. The Camera Crew is about to give up on their pursuit for an Interview with Randy Orton when the answer machine starts to pick up on a recent call.
"Randy it's Torrie.. Look I know how angry you are about how things happened last week on Redemption, and how you wanted me to stay behind and all that. I'm sure that you were just trying to keep me safe but I can't help but feel maybe if I was out there, at ringside with you.. well maybe I could have stopped Hunter in some way. I know you two don't like each other Randy but one of you is going to end up getting seriously hurt if it doesn't stop real soon. [ There's a Pause as Torrie takes a Breath] I know Hunter cost you the match with Cactus last week, and I know how close you were to winning, I was watching in the back Randy you had him beat. But there's always going to be another time and that time is Sunday Randy because you've been given another chance. You have a match against Chris Jericho at Up In Smoke for The Number One Contendership Baby.. it's not over yet. I know you're not there, maybe you're with your Grandparents at The Hospital but just call me back when you get this, please Randy. I haven't heard from you for days and I'm getting worried.. Bye. "
S c e n e: CLICK.. The Camera Zooms out as the message ends and the tape can be heard rewinding itself. The Crew begins to pack up its stuff and leave to head for The Hospital in hopes of catching up with Randy but before they leave one of the guys notices a note placed on the back of the door so no one would notice it until they were leaving. The Camera zooms in on the letter making it just barely visible for us to read.
S c e n e: Put in The Tape?!.. The Camera crew looks around frantically for a tape and finally finds one on The Kitchen Counter. They bring the tape into the living room and put it into The VCR and take a seat on the couch directly across from The TV. As the tape begins to Play it shows the exact living room they're in right now, only at a different time during the day because the lighting is different.. and Randy Orton is seated in the recliner chair where no one sits currently. The entire crew listens carefully as the camera zooms in on Randys thus far, expressionless face.
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " If you're watching this tape right now, you've already come into my Families Home uninvited, found the note lying on the kitchen table.. and have made yourself comfortable on my Familys Couch. Just to make one thing perfectly clear.. the attacks on my Family at the hands of Cactus Jack will not go without being justified and both Mick Foley and Triple H are going to wish they never even heard the name Orton when I finally get my revenge. You don't attack my family and just go on with your life as if it never happened. Cactus Jack will wish he never stepped foot in this house and will never wish he signed an XWF Contract because until now, Cactus jack hasn't felt true pain. "
S c e n e: Randy pauses and takes a moment to gather his thoughts after realizing he's gotten out of hand already as he calms himself down, taking a few seconds to breath until speaking yet again.
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Triple H.. if you thought what I did to Sable was bad, you haven't even seen the beginning of what Randy Orton can do to you or your loved ones. You can celebrate your little Redemption Victory now H, but I'll make sure that one of two things happens at Up In Smoke this Sunday Night.. I WILL become Number One Contender to The XWF World Heavyweight Title that I can guarantee, and if I decide that I'm going to make it my business to intervine and cost you a match like you cost me last week Hunter than so be it. I'll let you know how it feels to be on the recieving end when a Victory is stolen from you like the match against Cactus Jack was stolen from me. We all know that Cactus Jack couldn't out wrestle me if his life depended on it Hunter, but you had to stick your big nose where it didn't belong, you were afraid that when I beat Cactus Jack.. and I most definately would have if it weren't for you.. Yeah Hunter, you were afraid that if I beat Cactus Jack you would have to look me square in the eyes, in the middle of a wrestling ring and that right there lessened your chances of becoming World Champion. No in fact Hunter.. it would have made your chances of becoming Champion, Slim to None.. "
S c e n e: Randy leans forward locking his hands together and glaring into the camera always with a look of determination in his face. But this time there is no smiles, no grin from ear to ear, Randy doesn't even show the whites of his teeth as he continues talking intent on getting his point across to everyone watching.
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " So as you guys sit in my Families Living Room.. invading their private home just like Cactus Jack did a few days ago in an act of complete cowardice. It makes me wonder what the word Respect really means in this business.. Respect used to be what you would get from people when you did a good job on something, or really earned something. But today I see people like Cactus Jack.. getting respect because he's stupid enough to cause physical pain upon himself. I see Cactus Jack getting respect because he beat me last week on Redemption when he obviously needed the help from another XWF Superstar to even come close to beating me. So you see.. it doesn't matter if I'm involved in the XWF World Title Match Officially.. I'll make sure that Cactus and Triple H feel exactly the way I felt after being screwed out of my very first opportunity to become World Champion. But that's what I was talking about.. Respect isn't what it used to be anymore.. because if Triple H or Cactus Jack ended up winning that World Heavyweight Title.. wich would be a Joke above all other Jokes. They would get Respect from alot of people just because they're The World Champ. Does that mean their a respectable athlete? Does putting a World Title around Cactus Jack make him any less flabbier? No.. it doesn't. Being The World Champion takes alot more than looks.. wich I have. It takes the ability to Wrestle.. wich Cactus Jack doesn't even have, and it takes the ability to be a respectable athlete.. wich Triple H will never be. Triple H and Cactus Jack are both Crooks when it comes to this business, they lie and cheat their way to the top, costing the real athletes like Randy Orton the true Superstar Status they deserve. "
S c e n e: Another Moment of Silence..
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " So why the Tape? Why act so different to those who are close to me? Well I'll tell you why.. why the hell should I let you people lay yours eyes on me, live and in person. It's you people that brought me bad luck in the first place.. it's because of you people I don't have an XWF Title shot this Sunday Night at Up In Smoke. So I've decided to stay as far away from you.. as possible, and until my match at Up In Smoke with Chris Jericho not a soul is going to know wich direction Randy Orton is going to come from. Because the element of surprise is going to be my best friend, and Chris Jericho, Cactus Jack, and Triple H's worst enemy.. You want to cheat your way to the top, than two can play that game guys. Because we all know that if I were given my damn title shot like it was supposed to happen so long ago, I would take hold of that opportunity and become XWF World Champion, indefinately. But no, instead you got guys like Christian who couldn't get it done the first time so they're given a second opportunity to screw up. "
S c e n e: Randys reclines in the chair getting a little bit more cozy and comfier now as he reaches his arms behind his head and rests it in the palms of his hands, a smile finally showing on his stern face.
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Chris Jericho, you may think you earned your spot at Up In Smoke, and you may think that you actually are worthy of stepping into the ring with me but this just isn't the time or place for you pal. You beat some punk kid by the name of Spanky and you think you've got what it takes to be The Number One Contender? I Might as well be The Number One Contender to every XWF World Title there is because you wont find a better looking, more determined, pure athlete like me more fit for the job. Chris Jericho hasn't done anything to prove himself thus far in the XWF.. he lost to Triple H, the guy who fears Randy Orton.. I've busted my ass since day one that I walked into this business only to be screwed over left and right by the guys who just don't know how to earn their share around here in The XWF. You Chris Jericho are just like Cactus Jack, or Triple H, or even Christian. You do the lest amount of work possible, and put in the slightest bit of effort needed to get by with the win. You don't care how you won, if you cheated to get there, as long as you get there that's fine by you but not for one second do you even think to earn it. You just scrape by barely even having enough respect within yourself to go on. So Chris.. no hard feelings Bud but you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Because it will be me, Randy Orton going to The Royal Rumble as The XWF World Title Number One Contender and Chris Jericho will remain a loser, at the bottom of The XWF where Cactus Jack and Triple H will also be come the last minutes of Sunday Night. So you can just go in stand in your friend Christian corner Jericho because that's the closest you will ever get to XWF Gold in your whole entire career Jericho. And after I'm done with you and I finally get my revenge on those who have cheated me, I'll Be The Xtreme Wrestling Federations World Champion.. "
[|. xwfv2 .|]Randy picks up a remote lying on the armrest beside him and the TV goes blank than to static as The XWF Camera Crew just sits there for a second not sure what to do after watching that confusing display and listening to what Randy had to say. Where will Randy be next and how will this all unfold on Sunday Night. Tune in to Up In Smoke to find out.. [|. xwfv2 .|]
