SAM sits in the lobby of a hotel with a stereo playing. It plays Disturbed's "Fear" Ichabod's old theme music. He is only offhandedly listening until Draiman says a few words that catch his attention:
Cuz you're no one
SAM cuts the radio off and puts a hand to this chin. An idea dawns on him and his face lights up.
It occurs to me that you Wafer and you Justin Payne are just that. Limited.
Justin Payne is limited. He has always been and always will be the hero who fights against so much opposition to achieve greatness, even sometimes making bad decisions. Yeah you've been doing that gimmick since IPWF, you've done it ever since then, and you do it now. What is with you man? Can't you be anything else? I'd guess not, because you are limited.
And Wafer. In every federation you've had chances just handed to you. You've never actually earned anything. But here in WOW, you are being made to work for what you get. Does it faze you? Hell no, you still act like you are the main event every damn show.
Don't get me wrong, its ok to act important, but you have this untouchable facade that you can't seem to break. You've always been like this and being in a place that makes you work for what you get hasn't even changed you. Will you ever drop the hot shit main event persona, even if you drop down to opening or dark matches? Probably not, because you are limited.
SAM stands up and stretches. He starts to walk out of the lobby. Just as he gets to the door, he stops and turns with his hand on the handle.
I've never been limited. I've changed with the times. I started as no one, just another face that couldn't get recognized even in death. Then I became someone who forced people to see him. Now I'm something you can't get rid of, like a bad recurring nightmare.
I will continue to change, because I am limitless. The biggest change will come Monday when I win my first ever title, the Brutality championship. You can bet your lives on that.
SAM exits the building with a sure smile on his face. Four days remain until Wafer, Payne and SAM meet in the ring. Four days in which Wafer and Payne will continue to play out there limits, and SAM will only be beginning to test his.
