[It opens to various montages in his time in AW including his win over Roman for the belt, then we see Jody and JB dressed in suits sitting on a table where it was located behind a speakeasy bar in the afternoon. They both order whiskey on the rock from a waitress, we see JB lighting a cigar and smoking it in the air as Jody was taking a shot of his whiskey.]
JB: Jody, you are almost close to the goal man. You only have couple of matches until you are next for a shot at the World title.
Jody: I know about that, i’m aware of it… but I already know i feel like my time is coming up in this tournament.
JB: Why do you think so?
Jody: Look at Tatiana and me… hell look at the rankings for the main event… I know they don’t want me to get that far in the thing.
JB: Why are you doubting yourself so soon?.... Don’t you think you want to be the world champion?... think about the cred you’d get if you win the whole tourney and get at the world champ… think about what I couldn’t do.
Jody: I understand that, I really do… but lets face facts, Tatiana Jolee is already picked to be the one to overshadow me in our match, I have this gut feeling that I won’t get far in this thing. She’s more of a popular act than me..
[JB then takes a shot of his whiskey and shook his head in a disapproving manner. Jody then looks at Jolee’s exploits on his cell phone and showing clips to JB. JB then realized what Jody meant with his concerns.]
JB: Oh I see, well i didn’t know how she rolls. Look, even if you don’t advance in the tournament finals… you tried on god. You made it far, so what if she's bigger than you in terms of relevance?... you still can get the job done.
Jody: I know man, guess I am getting burnt on the road and missin my family shit. You know that my niece had her child, it’s a boy and she named it after my half brother, he’s named Kassime Taylor Madrox aka Lil Kass. You want to see a picture of him?
JB: Sure man, I didn't know, congrats to your niece Missy!
[Then Jody shows Lil Kass in his niece's arms at the hospital picture to JB, and he smiles at him. Then the waitress comes back to give them a refill of whiskey on the rocks, and they toast to Jody’s new life as a grand uncle.]
JB: Listen, once the PPV is over i’m gonna stop by to see the baby. If it’s alright with you and Missy.
Jody: Hey man, it's fine by me, you are part of my family. I gotta make up for some lost time with her since I've been on the road. But, it’s something that keeps me going, since Big Kass had told me that if anything happens to Missy I am responsible for her wellbeing no matter what.
[JB was about to show some tears but he controlled himself as he took a sip of whiskey, trying not to tear up over Jody’s words. Jody then takes a sip of his whiskey, and he asks the waitress for the bill. About 20 minutes later, Jody pays the tab and they leave the spot to the hotel that they stayed in until Clash. About a couple of hours later, they throw a mini party in the hotel with some finest ladies of Canada in their double bed. While JB was doing his thing with the ladies Jody went to the hallway to film himself on his phone at the stairwell to let out his thoughts.]
Jody: Here’s the deal, I know that I should be partying with the ladies with JB, but I wanted to get some fresh air for a little bit till I am ready. You see, I am tryin to keep on the straight edge path but it’s hard. I can still drink, but not like how I used to back in my 20s. I guess, being in your 40s is something that i didn’t think would have been a thing for me. Look where I am, in Canada tryin to get myself ready to advance in a tournament that I had no clue that I would be getting far in at all.
Yes, I am still in doubt that I will get far into it, and I know that they would rather keep it in the “traditional” route of how these things work. I doubt they would have Jolee be okay with her not getting far in the tournament, and well I guess I have to do what I need to do. I don’t know much about that woman, but I know she’s accomplished more shit in AW than me. I know she’s hungry to be on that final girl shit, and I guess i am the slasher killer who’s trying to not give her that happy ending of being in the finals.
Look Jolee, I know you don’t know me or want to know about me, but what I do know is that you want to figure that me being in this tournament isn’t a poly or something to boost viewership. I know that you don’t think I should be the final guy against the final person in the right to the world title shot. You want to think you have a shot to get far? You need to think about that plan, think about alternate routes if this doesn’t get you far.
I could claim that I have it in the bag, but that’s a lie. I still have my wits up against you Jolee and your possible outcome of being the one to dethrone me off the tournament, and to that I hereby take that to heart. I know that they don’t want to see anybody of my kind be a world champion, that would ruin it’s linkage in the AW fans minds. I guess I have to be the one to make those changes in order to usher something new for AW and beyond.
I might be the Omega champion, but I want to prove to myself, my niece, JB and most of my supporters that it’s possible to be the best person for the next generation to come. I consider this my open invite to the unknown, and I need to get deep into it.
Tell your friends that it will be Jolee’s biggest fight yet…
Tell your friends that Jody isn’t afraid to lose my shot at the tournament…
Go tell your friends that this will be the match that will shift the minds who shall see the geto boy doing what he needs to do…
Consider this my final words friends. See you all at Clash.
[Then it cuts back to various moments in Jody’s time in AW, then it simply fades into the AW logo.]
