Nightmare manages to kick out of the attempt, shocked that Brooks managed to get up on his like that. He grabs the motionless Brooks and pulls him to his feet, punching him repeatedly in the face before hurtling him into the corner again. The resilient Brooks attempts to stand up and mount a defense, however as Nightmare charges forwards and drives his boot into his head the crowd knows that this match is over. Nightmare locks in the Nightmare Sleeper and Brooks goes limp, the referee signaling for the bell to be rung. ~~~ Alex Brooks is seated on a wooden stool in front of a black banner bearing the matte grey sVo logo prominently in the middle. Brooks is dressed neatly in a pair of jeans and a "Wrestling Spirit" t-shirt. "Excuses." Alex sighs. "We all have them and I am no different. I could sit here and give you a thousand excuses as to why Nightmare beat me at Season's Beatings." Alex shakes his head. "But the fact of the matter is - Nightmare beat me. He sent me sleep with his Nightmare Sleeper. What more can I say about it? I could say he cheated, but he didn't. I could say his attacks on me in the few weeks leading up to the event weakened me, but they didn't. I could say I never submitted, but I may as well have. I could say my good performances in the "Golden Contract" Battle Royale, my upset of The Teacher at Roll the Dice or my unlucky loss to Samuel Amos in a TapOut Title match made me over confident." "I could say all those things... But they would be what they are... Excuses." Brooks rubs his neck. "I could also mention that I was carrying a neck injury into match. But, that's still an excuse, isn't it? If I was in the match then I was well to compete." Brooks pushes his blonde locks back off his forehead. "So what is going to be different this time? Honestly, if I could tell you that I would be a fortune teller, not a wrestler. I think I'm more prepared. I think I'm healthier. I think lots of things... But thinking isn't the same as doing is it?" "What I need to do at Showdown is win. That's the simple answer anyway, but in this game things aren't as simple as that. Nightmare is going to want to do the same thing, and judging from his emotions leading into our previous battle he's to want to put the man he considers an annoying gnat down for once and all. But, I will tell you, Nightmare, and I will tell everyone else. This time I will not be put down. I will win or I will lose, but I will get back up and I will not look for excuses. I will not." "I'm not the perfect wrestler. I'm not the perfect person, either. However, I do take responsibility for my actions, whether that is trying to say hello to Sara Pettis. Whether it was taking a stand against the Company. Those are my actions, those are my reponsibilities. No excuses. Is Nightmare willing to do the same?" "Is he willing to take responsibility for what he did to his brother? Is he going to use the concussion he suffered at the hands of his brother as an excuse? Will he use Akira Kimura's betrayal of The Company as a distraction? These are questions that only he can answer." Brooks focuses his stare straight ahead. "Nightmare... let me tell you something. Since Season's Beatings I learned some things. I have learned that the refusal to quit can be of a detriment to my health, but I also learned that same refusal to quit can drive I over and beyond and upward to unlikely victories. I learned that some men and women will look past the present and into the future that they want to see, but I also learned in doing this, they destroy what they perceive as their destiny. I learned that I can beat anyone on any given day. I also learned that today, I can lose to the person I beat yesterday. Of all these things I learned that I need to focus on the ultimate goal, but not forget about the individual tasks that will take reach that goal." "And Nightmare... ultimately you are a step on the path to my goal of becoming SVO World Champion, because if I didn't want to be World Champ, what would be the point of me even being here? Now, don't get me wrong... I don't necessarily think I will beat you with ease and sweep my way to crushing Jay Wildman. I recognise that it requires hard work, and I recognise that I might not even get past you this Showdown. But, my path will stay the same with victory or defeat." Brooks smiles. "Sorry, Nightmare. I've become guilty of talking past you, talking about World Titles and paths of ultimate glory. Let's talk about Showdown. Nightmare when you and I square off, we will size each other. We always do that. We will try to assert our dominance on the match with our juxtaposition of styles. Eventually one of us, will start to control the other... whether it's my whirling dervish buzzsaw or your brutal heavy-hitting ground and pound tour of destruction. If you start to get on top, I will fight, I will scratch and I will claw to regain control of the match. I will not quit, and I will make sure I have no excuses... if... you beat me. The question is... Are you willing to those same things if I start gain control will you fight, will you scratch, will you claw?" Or will you just quit? Brooks nods. "Nightmare. I have learned from the past and I am looking to the future. But I am focused our match, because the past, the present and the future are locked in together. The past is something to learn from. The future is something to look to. The present is what makes us." Alex stands. "Come Showdown, Nightmare, I will strive for victory. I will stand up and fight with everything I have. I will hit you with everything but the kitchen sink, so the saying goes." He walks closer. "So when that final bell rings, win or lose, I will have..." Alex leans forward so that his face takes up the whole picture. "No excuses." Fade. |
