As time draws closer and closer to Under Attack, the anticipation continues to grow more and more. There are several who're focusing on the first United States Title defense of James Evans, facing the likes of Riddick, Thirteen, and Christian Savior. Others are salivating at the thought of seeing Greg Cherry, Brittany Lohan, Tommy "Thorn" Valentine, and Nicole "Ducky" Kinneck all bruising one another until someone, or everyone for that matter, is busted open, and bleeding profusely. You have those who're stoked about the returning Cid Turner.
But then, you have the masses.
Then you have the bulk of humanity.
They're not focused on those matches just mentioned. They're not looking at the undercard as much as they are the main events. Those people are looking at the World Champion, and his battles he faces. Not one, but two. Which is more important is anyone's guess. Is it the match when he'll go out and face the winner of the demonic Chamber, when his World Championship is on the line? Or is it the grudge match of the year between he and Jake Starr? Regardless of which is the one that has the masses more entertained, both matches promise to steal the show, and rival one another for match of the night.
With the strength of this card, the pay-per view promises to be one of the biggest events of 2011, and possibly the history of Supreme Championship Wrestling.
There are those, however, who aren't as focused on this pay-per view as many of those who're not as psyched as the others. Those happen to be the parents of Jake's wife, Roeper. Ron and Alice have never been huge proponents of Jake's career, and in Ron's case, he's been a very vocal about his disgust and disdain for Jake's choice in profession. Since Roeper and Jake first began their relationship, when Ron found what Jake did for a living, he began doing everything he could to try and change Jake's mind about how to provide for his daughter. At one point, he even offered Jake to come to his job, and shadow him for a few days, hoping he could convince him to follow in his footsteps. It was an offer Jake had no desire to take up.
In Jake's mind, he was born into a wrestling family, he belongs in the ring. Jake has continually done everything he could think of to try and show his in-laws the good that has came out of his career path, and ultimately the joy it brings to many thousands of people every time he goes out there. It's been a path that has had its share of ups and downs.
His first attempt was to have his in-laws watch an event he performed in front of, and it was a bad idea. Jake's hope that it would show them the good of his career turned out to be a dud because it happened to be one of the nights where Jake went toe to toe with the management of an organization, ultimately doing many different things to try and get his way. It's a personality trait he had at the time, that he knows probably didn't help his case with his future in-laws.
After that, and after he had had time to really correct many of his cocky flaws, he tried again, but the damage was done. In his father-in-law's eyes Jake is still the same kid, cocky and defiant, and not a role model to the fans. It was something Ron felt was not the ideal mindset for a grown man, or one that was ideal for a man looking to take care of his daughter and take his place.
The tension ultimately got to the point where the relationship between Jake and Roper, and Ron and Alice, became quite contentious, and fairly non-existent between the four. It's one of the reasons that Ron and Alice made the executive decision to make the trip to see their daughter. Alice ultimately decided it was time the relationship went from rocky to a path to a much smoother and happier ride. She convinced Ron to come with her on a visit to see their daughter and granddaughter, and ultimately said it was a time she wanted him to do everything in his power to mend his turbulent relationship with Jake. It was a requirement that Ron was not extremely happy to fulfill, but reluctantly agreed anyway.
Then upon arrival, the hopes and dreams went all to hell as Jake and Ron immediately struck up their normal, bitter, angry, conversation. Thankfully with Jake leaving, it allowed both parties to cool down, and hopefully return to try again after Jake returned from his outing, with a clear mind.
With Jake in Amsterdam with Tommy and David, Ron and Alice have taken the time to, at the least, spend time with their daughter and granddaughter. It's been quality time they've wanted and needed to have.
As the three all sit in Jake and Roeper's entertainment room, simply relaxing, Alice sits back playing with Mara, and getting the opportunity to be the Grandmother, which is something she hasn't had many opportunities to do with Mara. On the couch sits Ron, flipping through the many channels on the television, trying to find something to watch. Roeper sits on the couch across from her father, also just hoping there is something on TV that they could all ultimately agree on, sit back, relax, and watch. Roeper is also enjoying the complete lack of responsibility, with Alice holding and playing with Mara.
After several moments of seeing nothing interesting to watch on the television, Roeper decides to take the opportunity that she has without the responsibility of watching Mara, or hurrying to do anything, to spoil herself. She looks over at her mom, and double checks that it would be OK if she stepped away for a bit.
Roeper Hart: Mom, do you mind if I go take a bubble bath and just relax a bit?
Alice Hart: Oh not at all! I'm loving this playtime with Mara!
Ron Hart: Exactly! You deserve a chance to take a load off, and we can watch Mara. We know how to take care of a baby, we did a great job with you.
Roeper smiles, enjoying the assistance from her parents.
Roeper Hart: Thanks! So if you'll excuse me, I am going to go enjoy a nice bubble bath.
Roeper stands up, and excuses herself from the room. She walks out of the entertainment room, and Ron takes a look over his shoulder to make sure Roeper has actually vacated the area. When he feels she has gotten out of earshot, he looks back over at Alice, and mutes the television.
Ron Hart: Alice, when do you think that Roeper will finally grow up, get rid of Jake, and get herself a husband who actually cares about her? I mean, how long can we let this go on?
Alice is a bit shocked at Ron's sudden bashing of their son-in-law.
Alice Hart: Oh Ron, you know as well as I do, Jake cares very deeply for her.
Ron is not swayed by Alice's assertion.
Ron Hart: You and I both know he doesn't care about her like he should. If he did, he wouldn't be away from her so often and so long. Instead he would have a more meaningful profession in life, and be doing things far differently.
Alice continues to try and be the one who thinks positively about the entire situation, and Jake as well.
Alice Hart: Ron, you just have this bitter animosity toward Jake for some reason or another. From everything I've seen, he's a great man and a great husband.
Hearing Alice call Jake a "great husband" sends Ron off the handle.
Ron Hart: Alice, you are insane. Jake, since day one, has done nothing but give us reason after reason to look at him like the child he is. He's shown no respect for authority, he's gone on national, and sometimes worldwide, television, hurling horrible rhetoric out of his mouth, and has never once shown himself to be mature enough to take care of a family, let alone our Roeper. He's basically a punk. He was hateful to me before he left, and basically told me that I had no say in my daughter's life, which is a load of crap. I'm her father, and I always have a say.
Alice just gets annoyed at Ron's diatribe.
Alice Hart: Oh Ron, you need to just stop it.
Ron doesn't even think about backing down.
Ron Hart: Why should I stop it? That is MY daughter and MY granddaughter I'm talking about! I'm not stopping it when it has to do with MY family.
Alice's annoyance continues to increase.
Alice Hart: Ron, you're not doing YOUR daughter any favors by trying to run her life.
Ron Hart: I know better Alice. I know what is best for her. I raised her better than to pick questionable significant others.
Alice Hart: Let me guess, you expected her to marry someone more like you?
Ron Hart: It would have been a HELL of a lot better than Jake. I provided for my family properly.
Alice, feeling this conversation getting more and more heated, sets Mara down in her swing. She begins to try and calm her continually growing frustration.
Alice Hart: Ron, I only care about one thing, and that's Roeper's happiness. Having said that, she's happy. That makes me happy. I've never once seen anything to suggest that Jake isn't fit for her. I've never once seen Jake do anything TO Roeper that would make me question how much he cares for her. So having said that, what do you consider "properly providing" for ones family?
Ron Hart: "Properly providing" for your family involves being there for them, and constantly being the bastion of financial support. A husband needs to be able to make sure that his family will ALWAYS be cared for, even when the time comes where they may be gone.
Alice Hart: Need I remind you that you were the one who was in the military, and were the one who would be gone for lengthy periods of time as well? Need I remind you that you put yourself in harms way, and ultimately at risk of not being able to "provide" for this family anymore?
Ron immediately begins to get defensive, as Alice turns the argument against him.
Ron Hart: That's different, and you know it.
Alice Hart: In this argument, Ron, how is it different? Seriously, how?
Ron Hart: Alice, I was out serving and defending MY country. I was doing MY duty to serve and protect our freedoms...
Alice Hart: Well you know, Ron, Jake is doing much of the same thing, if you ask me. Jake is serving his country, and doing so in a different way.
Ron Hart: Jake is just out playing a stupid game. He's not out there doing some kind of real job, instead he's out there doing something for his own personal enjoyment. He's completely missing out on his family!
Alice Hart: What exactly is he missing out on?
Ron Hart: He's missing on the growing up of his daughter. He doesn't know anything about her, minus the fact he made her.
Alice continues to get more and more fed up with Ron.
Alice Hart: Well what, exactly, do YOU know about Mara? You're her Grandfather. Getting you to come see her this time was almost like pulling teeth. Your personal feelings have made you alienate your own family.
Ron quickly fires back at his wife.
Ron Hart: Alice, I've done no such thing. I don't get why you're taking Jake's side on this, either.
Alice Hart: Ron, I'm not taking anybody's side in this matter.
Ron Hart: It sure as hell sounds that way...
Alice Hart: Ron, if I'm on anyone's side, it's Roeper's side. SHE'S our daughter.
For the first time during this argument, Ron raises his voice toward Alice.
Alice Hart: THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING TOO! I'm looking out for MY Roeper and MY Mara's best interest. I know better than to think some stupid pro wrestler is going to come in here and take care of MY daughter the way she deserves.
Alice Hart: You really have no clue what you're talking about...
Ron Hart: And you think you do? What do you know about Jake? What do you think he does when he leaves for these little "events" he takes part in, huh?
Alice Hart: What does he do? He goes off to entertain the millions of fans that he's amassed around the world. He goes out to make people happy because of what he does. Like I said, in a sense he's doing what you did in the military. He's going out there and making the lives of others better, by showing them a good time. He's...
Ron immediately gets angry at the notion that Jake's wrestling is in any way similar to his military service. He quickly cuts her off before she can continue on.
Ron Hart: How dare you? Why would you EVER compare Jake's little GAME to my service in the military. That's borderline blasphemy, Alice!
Alice doesn't even consider backing down.
Alice Hart: It is like what you did, Ron. It's true. You went out to protect the liberties and freedoms of this country. Jake goes around the world showing other countries, other fans, other peoples about America, and the good things that come out of it. You went out onto the battlefield, and fought in a war of good versus evil. That's pro wrestling, Ron. It's a never-ending war between the good and evil of the world. It's a profession that has given Roeper a WONDERFUL life, and provided her with a lot of financial stability for both herself and Mara.
Ron simply scoffs at the various examples thrown his way.
Alice Hart: If you still know everything about everything, why didn't you just pick the right suitor for Roeper from the get-go?
Ron decides to answer in a very smart-aleck tone.
Ron Hart: Because arranged marriages are frowned upon in this country.
Alice simply rolls her eyes.
Ron realizes his humor fell on very deaf ears, and begins to plead with his wife.
Ron Hart: Alice, you have to see things the way I do. There really is no reason you shouldn't. Everything is so obvious!
Alice snaps back without haste.
Alice Hart: Oh really, Ron? Why don't you tell me what you think Jake is doing that has you in such a twit about everything...
Ron Hart: Honestly?
Alice Hart: Preferably...
Ron Hart: My assumption is Jake has probably been cheating on Roeper with some floozy in whatever town they're in at that time!
Roper has been standing in the entry way listening for the last few moments. Ron's initial raising of his voice had echoed through the halls of their house, and alerted Roeper that something was wrong. Having heard her father's latest accusation, she finally has to interject herself into the conversation.
Roeper Hart: How dare you?!
Ron turns around, a bit shocked to see Roeper standing there. Alice looks up, horrified that Roeper had just heard what Ron had just said. Even with the shock of his daughter right there, Ron keeps on going about Jake.
Ron Hart: What? You mean to tell me you don't think he has? I would put money on the fact that he's cheated on you at least once honey, and THAT is why I've been trying to get through to you!
Roeper is enraged, and screams back at her father.
Roeper Hart: SHUT THE HELL UP! How DARE you come into our house and say these kinds of things? YOU! Of all people, it's YOU! My own father, is now accusing MY HUSBAND of cheating on me, because of his own personal vendetta. You have a LOT of damn nerve making those statements here. I knew you may not like one another, but I'm sorry, we're family, and to make those statements is completely unnecessary. ESPECIALLY in MY OWN HOUSE!
Ron begins to raise his voice, trying to take over the conversation like he's done much of Roeper's life growing up.
Ron Hart: Deep down, you know it's the truth, just like I do!
Tears of anger and hurt begin to fall down the cheeks of Roeper Hart. It's a scene that Alice realizes is not good. She senses a definite rift forming between father and daughter, ultimately worrying what kind of effect this could have long term.
Roeper, continues to waste no time in fighting back at the attacks put forth by her father.
Roeper Hart: I have DEFENDED you against Jake on many, MANY, occasions. I figured Jake was overreacting when he would tell me what he thought about your actions, what you were trying to do, and the fact he thought you were trying to break us apart. ALL of those times I thought Jake was just blowing things up, I was wrong... He was right. You are the exact asshole that he made you out to be!
Ron immediately fires back.
Ron Hart: See, this is what I knew would happen! Jake has clouded your judgment and now he's gotten exactly what he wanted, pitting the two of us against one another.
Roeper continues to fire back to keep from crying.
Roeper Hart: No, Dad, it was you! You're the one who drove this wedge in between us, and it'll be ME who simply puts an end to it all right now! I want you out my house IMMEDIATELY!
Alice realizes she must chime in and be the voice of reason between the two feuding family members.
Alice Hart: I think both of you need to just separate right now, and go calm down. Once we've all calmed down, we can talk about this like we should.
Alice picks up Mara and walks toward Roeper, hoping seeing her daughter will begin to relax her a bit.
Roeper Hart: I'm sorry, Mom, but for at least the near future, I want nothing to do with him, absolutely nothing. So Dad, I want you out of here, now...
Ron is now fuming, mad that he has completely lost control and power over his daughter like this. He then decides to simply put his foot down, and the retired member of the military emerges from within.
Ron Hart: Fine! I'm leaving! But you and Mara will be leaving with us, and you'll be leaving Jake, and that's final...
Roeper is completely appalled at her father.
Ron Hart: I am the patriarch of this family, and I have the final say. We're all leaving, and that is that.
Roeper takes a step inside the entry way, asks for Mara from her mother, and then stares her father down. She reaches around Mara's head to cover her ears, before finally responding to her dad's decree.
Roeper Hart: Dad... Fuck off, and leave MY family's house, NOW!
Roeper glances one more time in the direction of her mother, still extremely choked up.
Roeper Hart: I'm sorry, Mom...
With those final words, Roeper quickly turns away and storms out of the room. She walks down the hall, directly into her master bedroom. She slams the door behind her, and lays Mara on the bed. She quickly falls down in the bed next to her, sobbing, and torn apart inside from her father's accusations and hate speech. Mara just lies there, staring at her mother, completely confused. Roeper is very thankful that her daughter is still far too young to comprehend everything that just happened around her.
As Roeper sobs, and rubs the face of her precious daughter, there is a light knocking at the bedroom door, and Alice peeks her head in...
Alice Hart: Honey, may I come in?
Roeper lets her mother in, and Alice simply comes in to try and console her daughter, hoping to at least stop the crying. It is a tumultuous time within Jake's household, and as he is across the ocean, in Europe, Roeper fights to decide if she loves her father, or wishes she'd never see him again. Roeper elects to continue to keep Jake in the dark, in regards to what just happened with her parents, knowing he's trying to focus on the battle he has ahead of him at Under Attack.
When Jake returns home and hears about this whole ordeal, it promises to be a time when Jake and Ron will have to confront one another, and have a "final encounter," and end their bitter, and highly personal, rivalry. Nevertheless, right now, he's focused on Winters, and focused on a professional feud that he hopes to end, much in the way many know he'll want to end the feud with his father-in-law... Victorious!
The scene fades in on a room setup to look exactly like the world famous White House Briefing Room. At the front of the room stands a podium, with the Great Seal of SCW emblazoned across the front of it. Behind the podium, tacked to the wall, is another seal, this one of a drawing of an adorably cute kitty. Under the picture of the cat, in very large lettering, is the words "THE SOCIAL MISFIT." As the camera slowly begins to zoom in on it, under the large lettering is smaller lettering reading "I CAN HAZ TITLE MATCH!" As the camera begins to zoom back out, the podium is flanked on both sides by blue curtains and American flags.
The camera begins to pan around the room, it turns and faces out toward the gallery. In the gallery, sit many cardboard cutouts with faces pasted on them of many of the members of the White House Press Corps. Notable faces are Bill Plante, of CBS, Wendell Goler, of Fox News, Chuck Todd, of NBC News, Rob Reynolds, of Al Jazeera, Sam Stein, of The Huffington Post, and Bill Press, representing the radio media.
There is a noise behind the camera, which then turns around to see the door, the symbolic entry way of the White House Press Secretary or President himself, swing open. Several assistants run in from the side and stand the cardboard cutouts up. From the entry way, Jake Starr enters, dressed completely "to the 9s." It's a look many have not ever seen from the former World Champion. He immediately smiles and nods at the members of the Press Corps, and takes his spot behind the podium. As he reaches his spot, the assistants then sit the cardboard cutouts in their respective chairs, and run to the back to operate the flashbulbs, acting like other members of the press taking photographs of the speaker.
The camera then positions itself in the middle of the room, and zooms in on Jake, who begins HIS address, in a very similar fashion to that of the one delivered by Shawn Winters.
Jake Starr: Welcome. I'm glad you all could be here on this, very historic, and very necessary day in our nation's history. Today, I stand before you a man of conviction, a man of determination, and a man of parody. I felt that with the current hostile climate of the nation, of the world, and of our business, it was paramount for me to step out here, and issue the following statement...
My opponent, in his infinite wisdom, elected to utilize the current political climate of our great country as a way for him to try and make some kind of poignant message about himself, who he is, and what he stands for. Sadly, many of his statements were, in fact, complete and utter lies. It's a sad day, I tell you, when the "leader" comes out here and blatantly lies to those he is supposedly leading. It's fitting he chose to attribute his actions to that of the GOP debates, as well, because if you ask me, many politicians who have been running their mouth lately, have done just the same thing. I find it appropriate, Winters describes himself, basically, as one of them, a liar, a cheat, a phony, and a fake.
Jake takes a brief dramatic pause.
My opponent had the audacity to come out here, yet again, and put himself off as a playboy, trying to explain that his lifestyle involves nude harlots, ticker tape parades, and performances by some of the most gorgeous women in the music industry. He then completely went over the line, and claimed he wasn't boring, dull, or unoriginal... To that, all I can do is apologize to all of those out there who were subjected to such an erroneous claim, and one that acted like a direct spat in the face of truth and common sense. It's an abhorrent claim that insults a multitude of people who have two eyes, two ears, a brain, and an ability to see the truth for themselves. For a man of that stature to come out on national television, for a man who has already made one nefarious claim to be the "pulse" of our great organization to say such things, is something I would widely condemn as blasphemy.
So like I said, on behalf of my opponent, I apologize for his actions, and his lies, as it pertains to those claims.
Nevertheless, I would like to take this opportunity and this time with you all here today, to deliver a true address, full of truths, no lies, and in some cases, brutal honesty. I appreciate your attention in this matter because I know when it comes to us professional wrestlers, you all have an unbridled desire to know about who we are, our stances on hot button issues, and where we might be putting on an act, as supposed to acting naturally.
So feel free to jot down notes, take pictures, record the audio, whatever, but I hate to say there will be no time for questions and answers...
Jake then takes the paper he was reading off of, and sets it to the side. He then continues on.
Now, onto the issues, and my stances...
Abortion should be legal...
Marijuana should be legal...
Pink fluffy unicorns, dancing on rainbows, defines modern existentialism...
Sushi is delicious...
Baby wipes are the greatest invention in history...
And of the two truths of life, I subscribe to the truth that Honey Badger don't give a shit...
Now, with those "hot button" issues out of the way... When it comes to this Sunday, I stand before you a man who has faced my first bit of adversity since coming back to Supreme Championship Wrestling. It's a misstep I would have rather not taken, but in this business, that's life. That's how things go. My opponent and I enter on a much more even keel now, when we face off, at Under Attack. We're both going in riding a tough loss, and truthfully I would have to say it is very fitting that it be that way. See, had I won at Breakdown, and been able to ride that extra bit of momentum into the pay-per view, when I beat Winters, and he was forced to acknowledge I was far superior to him, and also superior to that of vaginal rhinoplasty, he would have easily turned right around and blamed it on the fact he was still reeling from the loss to Cherry, or that I was simply lucky because of the wave of momentum I happy to be blessed to be on. There would have been excuses, there would have been blame, and it would have had nothing to do with the fact that I was better.
So in a sense, it's a blessing in disguise.
Don't get me wrong here, or try and misquote me like you normally do! I'm looking at you Fox News! I am not happy I didn't come out on top against Lucas. I'm not happy I allowed my opponent to distract me long enough for Lucas to score the win, but it happened. So because it happened, I'm doing what I have to do. I'm looking at it from the proverbial, "glass is half full" perspective. I allowed my emotions to get the better of me, and ultimately I turned my attention away from where it belonged, and focused it ahead of where it should have been. It was a loss that ONLY I can take the blame and credit for, nobody else... Now sure, my opponent will come out here, and he'll rant and rave about how he caused me to lose, and how he'll ultimately do the same at Under Attack. We all know what he's going to say, how he's going to continue to try and attack my ego, say he shattered it because of the loss, et cetera. He's not as he claims. He's not creative enough to create some sort of new, ingenious, and factually based argument, so he'll stick to his guns. Seriously, I would like for you all to take a moment, and think about every time that an opponent of mine has made the argument that I complain until I get my way... No, really, I'm stepping back for a moment.
Jake steps back from the podium, allowing the "gallery" to ponder. After taking a rather lengthy pause to reflect, he steps back up to the microphone, and shifts that paper over to the side as well.
I'm assuming we've all come up with several names, and if not, you must be new to the circuit. It's been an argument people have made about me time and time again. It's not original, it's not creative, and it's not entertaining. It is unequivocal proof that his bold claims are, in all reality, the lies I stated earlier. He continued to validate that point by launching into a campaign saying I'm not one to capture the attention of the fan base, saying I'm someone who doesn't stop the channel from changing. It's another argument that, I swear, I've heard somewhere else in my life. I don't know where, but thinking about it just makes me want to say, "click, click, click," like it completely would make his argument that much more, wait for it, unoriginal! It's like quoting lines from movies which you didn't star in, and trying to utilize a line of brilliance from a fantastic film as some form of relevant and poignant statement.
I'm sorry, but in some cases that could be considered plagiarism, and that's illegal.
Nevertheless, he tries and tries to belittle me, and persuade others to believe his nonsense. He's done exactly what politicians have done many times behind a "bully pulpit" such as this one. He's done what Fox News has become quite notorious for doing as well. He's twisted the facts to fit his argument. It's a dull attempt to try and discredit my success. One minute, he's claiming I'm not humble, then turns around and the next admits I have admitted that I've fallen victim to my own ego, and thus tripped up in my life. To me that's literally saying something is both black and white, up and down, good and evil, interesting and boring, or even Jake Starr and Shawn Winters. It's polar opposites, that show a defined hypocrisy.
My opponent tried his best to rule out the possibility that I'm humble by giving examples of exactly how I've been humbled by my own mistakes. He's also apparently decided to use the psychological defense mechanism of "projection bias," as it's known in the industry, against me. It's when one takes a look at themselves in the mirror, and then subsequently projects what they see onto someone else. It's done 9 times out of 10 with some form of negative connotation behind it, and this is one of those times.
You see, apparently in my career in Supreme Championship Wrestling, upon losing a championship, I have run away. To where, that is quite unknown because the only time I've left after a championship was when I was put on the shelf earlier this year. It was a time when physicians wouldn't medically clear me to perform. So if that is considered walking away, again, to the fans out there, and to the media here, I apologize. But when I lost my Adrenaline Championship to Greg Cherry, you know what happened next? Greg and I fought again. Oh yes, it wasn't a one and done for us. I didn't do like my opponent, and take my ball and run home to my mother's supple and lactating bosom. Our next contest was for the World Championship, and was a match I won. In fact, it brought out an extreme amount of passion from within my soul that, I guarantee you all, to this day, Greg remembers and would vouch for. When I lost my World Championship to Josh Hudson later that year, I began my climb back up the ladder. I didn't miss a day of work. Unlike my opponent, I didn't disappear for close to a year, and try to do what I do best, and blame it on someone else.
I didn't forget the Underground Championship, which I lost to Dillusion, and subsequently went on to not leave again...
Oh... And then there was the second World Title, which I admittedly dropped to my dear friend David Helms, and then went on to focus on the Tag Team Titles, and yes, I didn't leave again.
So it's this whole notion that leads me to believe my opponent is running thin on ideas. He's resorting to trying to use what happened to him as a truth about what happened to me. It's a continual group of lies...
More and more lies I tell you...
And he can spew all these lies he wants. If he thinks it'll help him, he can resort to those types of childish political attacks. I'm not going to drop myself to that type of level, not with him. I represent a populous of people FAR ABOVE that type of rhetoric. I speak the truth people. I don't come out there and have to resort to defaming someone, hoping people will like me more, I just tell it like it is. Reality is much more believable than the lies. Everyone has seen what I have said about my opponent. There have been very few who've ever questioned what I've said in regards to the content of his character, and those who did, well, let's just say those who contradict what I say have a bit of a biased toward my opponent here. Everyone else, well, they see everything the way reality is, just like I said...
Truth hurts, I'm sorry to say...
Jake clears his throat, and begins to shuffle his papers around relatively aimlessly.
Sunday, it'll mark a special day for all of us, not just me. It will be that "bump" in the polls I've been looking for, and it'll be because truth and justice was served. It won't be because someone else admits to the fact they would have their band of terrorists attack me while they sip a drink. It won't be because there are those sad members of the opposition who think they hold the keys to everything. It won't be because some delusional, hateful, embarrassing, wannabe dictator, had some other head leader in his back pocket. It won't be because the "powers that be" want him to emerge victorious, and ultimately assist him in quelling an uprising of those who oppose them. No, instead, it'll be because I walked in there, and with my bare hands stared evil in the face. It WILL be because I will ensure that no act of tyranny will continue to hold it's power over us. I will go out there and defend the good of the world against evil.
So if my opponent wants to evoke the name of God, I say this, may God have mercy on his soul, and may God Bless the United States of AmeriSTARR Hotels worldwide!
Thank you!
With his final words, Jake takes a step back from the podium, and waves at the gallery of cutouts. The assistants then all run back in to stand them back up as Jake makes a b-line for the door, and exits the Briefing Room. With his exit, the scene immediately begins to completely fade to black, signifying the end of his personal address to the SCW Nation.
