::“The Canadian Legend” Kyle Travis holds a copy of Webster’s Dictionary open in his left hand. He looks down at the page. Resting in the crook of his arm is his signature weapon; the black crowbar he has used on numerous opponents and victims. Behind him is a bookcase, filled with various books on various subjects, from fantasy to history to philosophy to religion and various other topics.::
::Travis runs his right index finger down the page until he finds the word he is looking for. He seems to study it for a moment before he reads.::
“Craven; adjective.”
“One: having or showing a complete lack of courage; very cowardly. Archaic; defeated, vanquished. Two: lacking the least bit of courage; contemptible, fainthearted.”
“Craven, noun, cravenly, adverb, cravenness, noun. Word origin from the Middle English cravant, first used in the 13th century.”
“Synonyms: chickenhearted, chicken-livered, cowardly, dastardly, gutless, lily-livered, milk-livered, poltroon, pusillanimous, recreant, spineless unheroic, yellow.”
::With a sadistic and yet amused smirk on his face, Travis looks up from the dictionary. He closes the book.::
“It’s a fitting name for you Craven, because I do find you contemptible and you are unheroic. Most importantly, at Cataclysm, in the submission match, you will be defeated and vanquished when I place you in the Pridebreaker and once again show that another member of the Sin City Knights is not the great protector and heroic defender he claims to be.”
::Securing the crowbar with his free right hand, Travis sets the dictionary back on the shelf. He slides the crowbar out of the crook of his arm and starts to twist it a bit in his hands.::
“You claim you are coming for me Craven, yet you stood aside as I beat the living hell out of an innocent girl. If you are so sickened by my actions, so ready to fight, then why have you not stopped me yet? Why are we now just getting to this? Is it because I hit a nerve when I called out Quentin on everything the Sin City Knights claim to be, but have been proven not to be?”
“You said you are coming to get me Craven. I ask what the hell has taken you so long. It’s not exactly like you’ve been busy lately. Is it just now is convenient? Or maybe it is the fact I pointed out that I pretty much got away with beating the hell out of one of Baron’s whores and you didn’t do anything about it? I mean, you guys seemed cool with it two months ago, when you heroically avenged Brittany by letting me walk out of the arena without any protest and valiantly defeated an outnumbered foe. So, is it just because I called you out on it, and you realized that if the Sin City Knights were going to maintain the lie they have built around them, then you needed to actually step into the ring with me.”
::Taking his left hand off the crowbar, “the Once and Future King” holds up two fingers to symbolize the two months between the last pay-per-view, Fearless, and the upcoming pay-per-view, Cataclysm, the final pay-per-view of 2014 for the UWA.::
“It has been two months since Fearless Craven. Two months that, at any point in time, you could have walked out on Monday Night Mayhem, called me out and challenged me to a match. Two months that you could have gone to Georgio Oliver and demanded a match as opposed to waiting until the last minute. Two months that you, who is apparently so outraged at my actions and my words that he seemed content to go about his life until he remembered he was supposed to be outraged after I said something, could have jumped me backstage and just kicked my ass, but you didn’t because you had better things to do than actually convince people that your outrage is real, like a video game release or something much more important than giving me the beating I deserve because true heroes wait until it is convenient for them to face the villain. All you did was talk, stand aside while I took out an innocent bystander and get yourself into a match you cannot win. Not exactly heroic is it now Craven? You have had two months to beat the hell out of me. You should have done it two months ago at Fearless. But you didn’t. Two months, and for all your outrage, all your anger and all your indignation regarding me, I forgot you were even here, the ever faith lackey. ”
::Travis lowers his hand and looks down at the crowbar.::
“And I suppose you are wondering why I attacked Stephanie Miller two months ago. After all, everyone is claiming it was just to get out of the match with the Sin City Knights, because that’s the easiest reason to believe. After all, I have never backed down from a match against some of the best in the business and from people who have wanted to tear my head off, so clearly, the first time I ever back out of a fight would be against the sheer unstoppable heroic awesomeness of the Sin City Knights.”
::He glances up from the crowbar.::
“Don’t make me laugh.”
::Travis stops twisting the crowbar in his hands. “The Canadian Legend” looks up from the crowbar in his hands. He shifts the weapon, holding it under his arm, almost like someone holds a cane.::
“No, it was for an entirely different reason. You see Craven, I had to, because I watched Georgio Oliver and UWA management cower and give in to threat after threat, so I figured I would make a threat and see if he cowered and gave in yet again. I did not anticipate him to chose that moment and grow a spine. So, of course I had to carry out the threat. My hands were tied after all. Personally, I expected him to cave like he had with everyone else. I was surprised as anyone that he went through with it. I was more surprised that the group that supposedly wanted my head was completely okay with the decision, but I suppose that’s what heroes do.”
“Now you claim Craven, that I see a conspiracy. You say I have pointed out things you have all noticed. That may be true, but then why am I the only one who seems to be annoyed by it?”
::Travis taps his chin, then lowers his hand and taps the curve of the crowbar as if in thought. He stops tapping it and snaps his fingers, holding up his index finger and wagging it a bit.::
“Oh, that’s right. It’s because when I point something out, people ignore it and let it slide until it effects them or defend the system no matter how corrupt or ineffective it is.”
“I do maintain that there is a double standard here. I do maintain that Georgio Oliver has not been fair. I maintain he has broken his promises and made false on everything he said when he convinced me to come here.”
::As if to illustrate the “on one hand” and “but on the other hand” stance he is taking as he points out examples, Travis moves the crowbar from right to left each time he makes a point.::
“Georgio suspended Jeszika Gautier for not releasing a hold on Aerynn Donnelly and made an announcement that he would make an announcement in regards to her still being the UWA Champion at Cataclysm. However, she’s been allowed to show up on Monday Night Mayhems, will be the special referee of the Cataclysm main event and there appears to be nothing at all on the preview for the pay-per-view, so I guess the decision is to let her stay champion. Aerynn Donnelly blasted Jamie Hensley in the face with the UWA World Championship and was not fined or suspended and received no punishment at all. He pulled me from a pay-per-view and forbade me from challenging for titles until he said it was okay for beating the hell out of a backstage interviewer. I fail to see how that is fair.”
“Joshua McBride basically calls the Children of Nephilim losers, which they are, and completely abandons them and people just act like he is much more dangerous. Sang Réal and I decided to part ways and dissolve Ragnarok, but, people act like I just completely abandoned them and cast them aside, which is what McBride did, but it’s cool when he does it. And let us not forget he stated the Children bring in ratings, but they never seem to actually get to wrestle that often, do they?”
“I see so many wrestlers just sitting at home week after week during a tournament that is supposed to be open to everyone and anyone can win it. I ask how anyone can win this tournament when not everyone is competing in it. And I pointed this out weeks ago, but no one seems to care that Bene Elohim and Mikado, who are part of Children of Nephilim, which Oliver says gets ratings wrestle and lose only on pay-per-views, or Sang Réal or the Cornbread Mafia or J-Shades or so many others never seem more than one match every few months. But, I seem to be the only one who actually cares.”
::Once again, Travis slips the crowbar into the crow of his arm. He exhales through his nose, almost like a bull or some similar animal does when frustrated.::
“You are not the hero of the story Craven. As I said, you are walking into the dragon’s lair with no sword or shield or spear or bow and arrow or mace. You come to face the monster, unarmed and unprepared. This is not bravery Craven. This is a fool trying to scale a mountain he has no business trying to climb. You will fall Craven, and I will leave you in that ring broken.”
::Travis gestures to a few of the books, such as Beowulf, and one on Greek mythology and a copy of The Once and Future King by T. H. White, and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.::
“History, legend, mythology is full of great heroes who have slain terrible monsters.”
“Theseus stepped foot into the King Minos’ labyrinth, a maze where seven Athenian men and seven Athenian women were sacrificed every seven years to the Minotaur, a monster with the body of a man and the head of a bull, possessing raw strength and a taste for blood and human flesh. Theseus entered the maze to save Athens from Crete’s oppression, not because someone pointed out he should or it was a convenient time for him, but because he knew what he had to do. He entered the maze because he had to, because no one else would, and he killed the Minotaur. You are not that hero, although you both seemingly abandoned a woman that depended on you, but I suppose you were busy and are now able to avenge Brittany because your schedule cleared up.”
“Perseus, in a desperate attempt to stay by his mother after the king forced her to marry him and demanded a gift from all his subjects, made a bold and dangerous declaration that he would bring back the head of Medusa, a once gorgeous woman who was cursed by the goddess Athena and transformed into a hideous monster with a nest of snakes for hair and whose gaze could turn anyone into stone. Against all odds, in a desolate wasteland filled with countless warriors that tried to slay her, Perseus did the impossible and sliced Medusa’s head off, allowing him to save his mother by turning the king to stone. He saved his mother. You were clearly too busy to save Maria Zalis as I was beating the hell out of her and you were right there as I did it.”
“Then there is Beowulf. For months, a hideous monster called Grendel terrorized the land, bursting into the king’s grand feasting hall and slaughtering everyone in his path night after night. Beowulf came to the kingdom to save it from Grendel. There, in the king’s hall, he ripped the monster’s arm clean off. He pursued it, finding it dead and then killed the fiend’s mother. But eventually, he met his match when he was mortally wounded after managing to slay a dragon that was ravaging his kingdom. But, unlike him, you will not be able to slay the dragon.”
“I look at you Craven, and I see Bellerophon. This hero of Greek mythology fought and killed the queen of the Amazons, a tribe of warrior women, and slayed the Chimera, a fire-breathing monster with the head and body of a lion, the head of a goat and a viper for a tail, and tamed the winged horse Pegasus. Bellerophon grew so famous that his confidence grew to arrogance, and he believed his great deeds and victories had earned him a place among the gods. In his arrogance, he rode Pegasus up towards the summit of Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. And for his arrogance, Zeus, king of the gods and lord of the sky, struck him down to Earth. One of the greatest heroes in mythology spent the rest of his life as a blind, cripple.”
::Once again, Travis slides his free hand over the curved end of the crowbar.::
“You will not climb Olympus. I will cast you down, leaving you battered, beaten and broken at my feet. Do you really and truly believe you can win a submission match when you enter it so unarmed Craven? I do not agree with that belief. No, I think I am going to tear your arm out of the socket. I think that you are severely overestimating my sense of fair play and morality if you do not think I am unwilling to slam a chair into your leg or over your head again and again and still be willing to lock a submission hold on to you.”
“This is not an I Quit Match. This is not a street fight or a no holds barred match. It is not a hardcore match or a falls count anywhere match. This is a submission match. The only way to win is to make your opponent submit inside the ring. What that means, Craven, is that there is no count out or disqualifications so I can do anything I want to you in order to get you to submit. You will either tap out to me or the entire world will hear you scream that you cannot go on, that you give up, and that is what I want to hear Craven. I am going to make you scream in front of the entire world.”
::Sliding the crowbar out from the crook of his arm, Travis holds the weapon up. He looks at it as he holds it in front of him, slowly twisting the weapon in his hands like he is displaying the tool he has used to lay out so many people from backstage interviewers to legends of wrestling to authority figures that have incurred his wrath.::
“I can use this all night long, driving it into your knees or your elbow or your shoulder again and again. I can wrap your leg in a steel chair and start stomping on it until I hear something break. I can hang you in the ropes and just start hitting you with something until you fall unconscious. I can drive through a table, slam your arm into stairs or whatever I want all night before I even lock a hold on. And then, the Craven, I lock on the Pridebreaker, the unbreakable, unbeatable hold. There is no counter, no reversal and no escape once it is locked on. Better wrestlers than you Craven, legends in wrestling, have been in that hold and they have surrendered. There is no tapping out, there is only you having to tell the entire world that you give up, and that is music to my ears Craven.”
::Travis lowers the crowbar a bit.::
“This is your moment Craven. This is your time to show me what a great hero you are. This is the time for you to show me and the world that the Sin City Knights are the great defenders of the defenseless, protectors of the innocent and champions of righteousness, But then again, I really doubt the moral compass of a pimp and I have stronger doubt of the moral compass of a pimp’s lackey like you Craven. I know heroes Craven, and no one in the Sin City Knights is a hero. Neither you, nor Silver Baron, nor Fraser Freeman, nor Quentin Sharpe even know the meaning of the word.”
“You have nothing to fight with Craven. All your outrage and anger at what I have done is a complete lie, just like the image the Sin City Knights have attempted to create for themselves. It is a lie I am going to expose when I tear your arm out of the socket after I leave you battered, beaten and bloodied in the middle of that ring at Cataclysm.”
::Those cold predatory eyes of Kyle Travis glance down at the crowbar he holds. He spreads his arms outward and lifts his head upward.::
“Come forward brave knight. Come forward and enter the dragon’s lair. Come forward, though you come unarmed with no sword and shield, no bow and arrow, no spear or lance, and no hope of winning. Come forward and face your dragon knowing that all your so-called rage and anger and burning desire for revenge is worthless because it is all false. Come forward to your defeat.”
::Travis lowers his arms and his head, his eyes cold like those of a predator about to strike. No remorse, no regret and no hesitation, just a cold, calculating sense of purpose.::
“You are contemptible. You will be defeated. You will be vanquished. You are unheroic. You are Craven, and I will make you bow before “the Once and Future King” and I will leave you battered, beaten, and broken, just like I did Brittany, the woman you are just NOW getting around to avenging. You are not a hero Craven. You will not be the one to finally slay this monster. You are just part of the monster’s legend. This monster is going to break you.”
::Slowly, “the Canadian Legend” raises the crowbar, holding it in front of him like a sword.::
“Come forward brave knight and challenge and learn.”
::The scene fades out on the cold predatory eyes of Kyle Travis glancing down the end of the crowbar he holds out in front of him as it was a sword.::
::Travis runs his right index finger down the page until he finds the word he is looking for. He seems to study it for a moment before he reads.::
