Once again Romeo sits in front of his computer and it's webcam. Another video needs to be put up about his upcoming match at Vindication 3. The fans seemed excited about the North American Championship match, but Romeo didn't feel the same. People expect him and Stall to steal the show, possibly earn match of the year. Usually Romeo would revel in the opportunity of such a high profile match, but the only thing Romeo felt when he thought about his upcoming match was fear.
Romeo "You changed me Stall. Sure I can hide behind a smile, tell some jokes and spam my Razzle Dazzle catch phrase but that isn't fooling anyone anymore. Truth is there's a part of my heart that has forever changed, and you're to blame. This cold, dark, rotted part in my heart that never stops hurting. I hear these voices whispering in my ears. They tell me to do horrible things, and at Vindication I'm going to listen to these voices. I'm no longer Roman Smith, or even the Romeo Stylez the fans cheer for."
Romeo takes in a deep breath, shakes his head no, and exhales.
Romeo "There's a monster inside of me and the only chance I have of winning the North American Championship is to let it out. I've got to beat Stall at his own game. I listened to what James had to say, and he spent alot of time listing his achievements. Hell he didn't even list ALL of them and still rambled on long enough to put the fans in the arena to sleep. He could have repeated the names of the people he's hurt since coming to NEW. I mean he's already done that a million times so everyone should know by now, but my point is that the list has some important people on it. And if I'm not careful, mine might be the next added to the list."
Another deep breath, Romeo inhales, looks away from the camera for a moment, exhales, and gets back to his point.
Romeo "I don't have a huge list of achievements like Stall, and the ones I do weren't half as impressive as his. It's a sad truth, and a hard pill to swallow but he's proven more than I have. My fans, and my friends love to talk about how I won the Key to Excellence. I beat ten other cats in a ladder match and yeah that's a big deal to me. But how did I win that match exactly? I spent the first half hiding under the ring, and then I knocked Nikki Blaine off a ladder and grabbed a key. Not exactly the most dominating performance NEW has ever seen."
Romeo puts his hand out and shows his index finger, marking his first big accomplishment.
Romeo "So what else have I really done to make an impact? I won the North American Championship once already right? Everyone is always focused on the result but did I really earn the right to be called champion? I showed up at Bloodlust and pinned a bloodied and battered James Stall. I stole the belt from a man who couldn't defend himself. And don't discount Stall's toughness by saying he got another shot at it two weeks later because that's ignorant. Do you people remember his match as Bloodlust? There's no way he was healed up in time for that rematch."
Romeo's middle finger joins his index finger, marking his second big accomplishment.
Romeo "So my second great achievement is taking a title from an injured man. Not nearly as impressive as Stall's first reign as the North American Champ. He won a tournament in one night with a fractured jaw and a broken nose. Doc Holiday, a former World Champion broke Stall's face and he STILL fought on to become champ. That's the guy I gotta beat at Vindication 3. And if what has happened so far isn't enough to prove Stall is stronger than me, than allow me to remind you the entire world how close I was to leaving NEW for good."
Romeo's hand falls, and his eyes look down as well. He's not proud of how he reacted after The London Brawl. He lost his faith in the company, his peers, and himself. He may be back now, but the truth is without the help of others he wouldn't even be competing at Vindication 3.
Romeo "If this were the movies I'd definitely walk out of V3 as the champ. The ultimate underdog with little professional training and a heart of gold beating the vicious wrestling tyrant who comes from a well known and successful family. But in the movies after the underdog wins they always talk about how he had the will to win. That no matter how tough things go he kept going forward, that the new champion doesn't have an ounce of quit in him."
Romeo looks up from the floor with tears in his eyes. His body is shaking and you can hear it in his voice.
Romeo "I think I've already proven I've got an ounce of quit in me. Stall talks about how he's been affected by Outkast passing on. Like he learned so much from being one of the last guys to compete with one of NEW's greatest. James I don't know how you managed to forget but I was in that match too man. While Outkast's death imbued you with this new sense of strength and power, it filled me with doubt."
An odd sound is heard in the background, like a squeaking, then a thud. Romeo looks off camera, wipes the tears from his face, and smiles. He doesn't acknowledge what's going on off camera, but his body stops shaking, and a little bit of confidence returns in his voice.
Romeo "James Stall and Romeo Stylez, the two guys who shared a moment in Outkast's last match. I always wonder between you and I, who Outkast saw as the bigger threat. No, maybe threat isn't the right word. You are clearly a more threatening individual Stall. I guess what I wonder is, between you and I who did he think had a better chance of leading this company. Because for the longest time, he was the guy carrying the weight of this company on his shoulders.
Romeo takes another glance off camera, clearly he's looking at something important.
Romeo "See a part of me believes he looked to me to carry on his legacy but I never understood why. James you are the stronger individual, more self motivated, and naturally just more talented than me. But back at The London Brawl I wasn't alone. I had a support group, my Super Friends. One by one Stall took them away from me, and I learned real quick that I'm nothing without the support of others. But Stall, wanna hear a sad truth for you?
Romeo waves to something off camera, motioning how he wants to show it to the world. And soon Diamonds in the Club walks in camera view behind Romeo. Koko is sucking on a lolipop, Jack is holding on to Betsy, and RAW is shining up the World Championship. Romeo looks back into the camera smiling.
Romeo "Ya see I've found some new super friends James. And just as important as them is a support group I've been taking for granted. When we face off in Madison Sqaure Garden, every one in the arena is going to be cheering me on. Even when I tap into that darker side, when I let the monster loose and start showing the world a whole new kind of violence. Alone James, I don't stand a chance against you. But with Diamonds in the Club watching my back, and all my sensational fans at my side."
Romeo gets up and walks close to the webcam, there's a sparkle in his eyes.
Romeo "James, you're about to step into the ring with a monster you created. A monster fueled not only by rage and revenge, but by love, and by a power the world only knows as Razzle Dazzle."
Romeo shuts off his webcam, and after the feed is cut he looks over at his new team mates, and his new friends.
Romeo "So what do you guys want to get into before our matches tonight?"
Jack "it's too early to hit the clubs."
RAW "I could always buy us some of New York's finest hookers and we can make em our bitches before we go into Vindication and make our opponents our bitches.
Koko shakes her head no and sticks her tongue out.
Koko "Oh we could go ride go karts or bumper cars!"
At first everyone looks confused by Koko's childish suggestion. But Romeo smiles and nods, and Jack and RAW look at one another and shrug their shoulders.
RAW "sure, why the fuck not."
Diamonds in the Club head out, trying to ease their minds before they all go to war later in the night.
