Continued from "Setting The Table"

Joe Beakman here, and I'm joined backstage by none other then the one and only Adam Devlin. Adam, you just saw the same thing I saw on the monitor. Scott O'Dell, Primo Valiante and Bryan Jasta, joining forces and pretty much putting the whole locker room on notice. I gotta know what you think on this one.

What do I think? I think birds of a feather flock together. There was this movie I saw a few years back where a wise old lady said "The only thing men with power seek is more power." Case in point, O'Dell, Primo and Jasta. Now I'll give em credit, they made some valid points. But putting the roster on notice? I don't think so. Cuz I've noticed them for a long...long time. We all know the history me and Scott Have. We're XWA employees no.1 & 2 respectively. We've been here since the beginning. And me and Jasta, we've got history going back five years. Then there's Primo...who I had some fun times with when he was sided up with Mr. G's son, Sabastien. Each one of them good individually, but together, that's a dream team by ever stretch of the term. Scott talks about how he's better then ever? He ain't the only one. I AM coming off a lil 2008 winning streak where if you remember, I beat Jasta at XGamesII.

S...so, you're not at all concerned about what them uniting could mean, or do...to XWA?

Joe, Joe, Joe...you're not paying attention. Look into my eyes. Do these look like the eyes of a guy who's phased? No. They're the eyes of a guy who's focused. And my focus is real simple. Those three asshats wanna pick a fight? Let em come pick one with me, cuz I'm damn sure game. [/font]

He turns his attention directly to the camera.

Scott, Primo, Bryan...you want soooooooooooo badly for people to acknowledge you for being the best of the best. And there's no doubt that you all are. Your resumes speak for themselves. But while you're all amongst the best, you're not THE best. And I get sick and tired of people touting others as being "The Best". There's no such thing as being the best, because where you're good in one area, someone else is better in another. That's what drives us as competitors. Testing our skill against others skilled in other areas. Can't very well be the best if you're not being tested, can ya? Fellas, If it's a fight you're lookin for...

Adam pauses, as attention shift to an apparent other superstar who decided to join in.

[shadow=red,left,300]The crowd comes alive as XWA newcomer, but in no way a newcomer to the business Osh Vaughn steps into the interview area. He looked none to pleased, and with ample reason.[/shadow]
I'm sorry to be cutting into your mic time, Devlin. But did you just see that crap? I...I just can't hold my tongue on this one. That...was bullsh*t. These guys thinking they can pull this rule by intimidation crap just isn't flyin' with me. I only know one Intimidator, and and that was good old Number 3 Dale Earnhardt, god rest his soul. Now I've done my homework on who Primo and Jasta are, and I know what both of them are all about. But O'Dell? He made things personal between us a long time ago. Now I don't know you, and you don't know me, but what I do know is that we've got somethin' in common. We both wanna kick the asses of those jokers. More importantly, I wanna wedge my foot in Scott O'Dell's neck. So before you finish saying what you were gonna say, let's meet each other half way. You and me, two on two against O'Dell and which ever one of those other clowns wanna join him in a good, ol' fashioned Long Island ass kickin', right here in your home town.

It wouldn't be Adam to give the next response, but Finesse...who had been off in the distance and had seen all that went on at the top of the show just the same.

Aight, check it. Adam, I know you've still got beef wit' Jasta. Mr. Vaughn, Scott's been hecklin' you and eggin' you on for months. But Primo? Nah, son...Primo and me got some unfinished business. That National Title he's got on his shoulder should be mines. He slithered his ass into my challenge against Van Hayden and came out a real lucky bastid. But there ain't gonna be no Van Hayden. I want Primo...and I want him one...on one, TONIGHT. So the two of you can go on and put the boots to O'Dell & Jasta however you see fit. Primo? He's mines...dogz. All mine.

It would seem that there were three men who held different issues to O'Dell, Primo & Jasta's newly formed alliance. Suddenly, the odds seemed a little more favorable.

Adam was plenty surprised by this development, but in no way disappointed either. He gives a nod of agreement before responding to both men's statements.

You know what, fellas? I like the way that sounds. Seems like those three asshats aren't the only ones who came into this season with an agenda. The wanna stake there claim as being...what was it Primo said? "Kings ascending to their thrones." Well I guess we're just going to have to play the part of the ramparts at the gate.

Adam looks into the camera.

It sounds to me like you boys wanna make things personal. But under the circumstances, from what Osh has said, and what Finesse said, and of course from myself...it already is. And tonight, we get real...personal. Like I was about to say before Osh chimed in...if it's fight you're lookin' for, look no further. Because we're bringin' it to you.

The segment comes to a close as all three men stare into the camera with stern determination in their eyes. Overload goes into it's next schedule break before the 1st match of the night begins.

The End.
