2014.06.20: PWN - LEGACY - Leave it to Stevenson Part 4
The stage was set, and a beautiful red velvet curtain outlined the opera stage for the show that was getting ready to take place. All week long, you have seen nothing but Alyssa and Drew go back-and-forth, back-and-forth, back-and-forth on a verbal level that puts most to shame. But you see, despite everything that Alyssa says-she's worried, and she continues to express that each and every time that she opens up her mouth. If you need further proof of that, watch no further than her latest promo as she compares Drew Stevenson to a South Park character which hey, Drew loves South Park so to him it's actually a compliment. As the beautiful red velvet curtain rises, the spotlight beams from the rafters on to the wooden stage as there is a puppet of Alyssa who is being controlled by strings.
Alyssa, "Durka Durka Mohammed jihad!"
As we pan out to the crowd, we see that every single person watching Alyssa is nothing more than wooden puppets as well-just like their hero, they too are mindless drones who are easily controlled. As the puppet show continues, we follow the strings coming off of Alyssa as they are going up into a balcony area where we realize that the Alyssa puppet is being controlled by Drew Stevenson himself. Realizing that the camera is in fact rolling, he continues to make the Alyssa puppet dance as he wishes while beginning to speak, giving his thoughts on the upcoming match against Alyssa.
Drew, "You know what I find funny Alyssa? Is that you continuously bitch, moan, and groan about how I am repetitive but really? It is you who continues to preach that you are going to make me fall. Now before you get all pissy because I'm not going to cover everything that you said, I admit that I didn't hold on and memorize your every word because just like the last promo, and the one before that, I know exactly what you said. But I will admit Alyssa, it's cute that you think that you can make the Emerald City fall-something that so many before you have staked claim in doing and something that nobody has ever succeeded at, hell, the fact that I stand before you is living proof that not a soul can ever make the Emerald City fall."
Flashing that Stevenson smirk, he simply stands there while continuing to play with the puppet-making it obey his every will.
Drew, "Now answer me this Alyssa, what makes you any different than every single person before you who has made the exact same claims? Is it because you think that you're some sort of badass simply because you bite faces? Or maybe you think that you're some sort of almighty goddess simply because you can wield a steel chair and swing it like a retard. You see, I don't know nor do I care because at the end of the day Alyssa? You have proven without a shadow of a doubt that I am in your head and I am under your skin."
Making the Alyssa puppet take a bow, he stands there and turns to face the camera as the lights dim momentarily.
Drew, "That's the difference between you and I Alyssa is that you are not in my head but I am in yours. Every single time that you and I turn around, I am trying to be the nice kindhearted man than I am, but you insist on provoking me and trying to make me hurt you-something that I told you I'm not going to do. You see, while you rely on barbaric tactics? I do not because I am a man of class and I am a man who is out to preserve morals, respect, and dignity unlike you who thinks that it's cute to bite people and to get blood in their mouths. I mean, I get that you have this fatuation with Mike Tyson and that you want nothing more than to taste my blood but if you think that's going to make you as good as I am? You're sadly mistaken and that's because like Chuck Norris? You can't handle the kind of blood that courses through my veins Alyssa. I mean, I'm not going to sit here and sugarcoat things for you, that's not how I work Alyssa and that's not how I'm going to treat you. I am what's called a realist and I will always tell people exactly how it is and for the past week? I have told you exactly how it's going to go but you refuse to acknowledge the truth that I speak to you. Instead, you have this bloodthirsty mentality and you want nothing more than to get your hands on me but trust me Alyssa; you're not going to get your hands on me-you're going to fall short, you're going to fail, and you're going to be sent somewhere where you will not enjoy being."
With a very devilish smirk stretching along his face, you just know deep down that he has something in mind-as he always does.
Drew, "But trust me, I know Alyssa-you refuse to see the big picture and that's because you refuse to open your eyes to the truth. All you think is that I'm full of shit, you think that I don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about but just like I told you from the beginning? I always have a plan, I always have that ace up my sleeve and you will find out first hand just why they call me Maverick in this business, because when you think that I am down and out? It is quite the opposite because I always manage to get what I want Alyssa and that has always been the case since the very first time that I stepped foot in this business and in a wrestling ring."
Looking out at the strings that still dangle from his hands, he places one set of strings that he was holding in his left hand in his right as he uses his left hand to grab a pair of scissors.
Drew, "Now I am aware that you will never admit it, I am aware that you will never see the truth Alyssa and that's okay because I will make sure that you have no choice but to see it and to accept it. You see Alyssa, all along you were nothing more than a puppet to me-you have been nothing more than a pawn in my game of chess and trust me, I'll gladly give you a tour of the Emerald City but you will not like what you find. You see, while you take great pride in eating people’s faces-I take great pride in breaking people in half and I know that you will come back with a snarky little retort about how I don't have the ability to break you in half and trust me sweetheart-I have broken down and destroyed men bigger than you and Hell, even women badder than you. So like I have told you time and time again, after tonight? I want you to think about everything that you said because it won't be my fault when you're left in the heap of your own blood. See you Alyssa, I never wanted it to come to this-it was you who constantly provoked and drove me to this but I can make you one promise, I promise you that it will not be my hands that are dirty because being a man of my word-unlike you I will continue to be the man with morals, I will continue to be the role model that every single person here needs instead of a barbaric hooligan like you. You might not like hearing this Alyssa but from the beginning? You have done everything that I have predicted-every string that I pulled? You danced to! Any time that I wanted you to move in a certain location? You did it without hesitation and that's because you don't have the mental aspect of this game down, all you have down is the physical aspect and trust me Alyssa-you are going to find out real quick that the mental game is more important than the physical game and maybe, just maybe you will understand what I am trying to teach you because when you are outclassed like you are? You have to have a strategy and not rely on bloodthirsty tendencies like what you do because you made it too easy Alyssa. You made getting into your head and pulling the strings nothing more than a game and sadly, it was a game played on easy the whole time. So after tonight? You can tell the whole world that you took that tour to the Emerald City and you can also tell them that it will never, ever fall!"
Looking at the strings in his right hand, he uses the scissors and cuts the strings as the Alyssa puppet simply falls to her face showing absolutely no signs of life. Once again flashing that smile, he turns his head back to the camera and continues to speak-arrogance oozing through his pores.
Drew, "And just like that Alyssa I cut the strings. I have all the power going into our match and yet you don't even see it but you will, you will realize that everything that I said was nothing more than the gospel truth after tonight and you will then understand that it's best to not defy me but side with me. Face it Alyssa, I have always held all the power and I always will but to show just how nice of a guy that I am? I am giving you one and one chance only to just walk away, to understand that everything that you are fighting for is wrong and that what I am fighting for is right. I am giving you the opportunity for redemption, to redeem yourself in my eyes and it's a onetime offer Alyssa so I really hope that you take it because great things could be in your future if you simply take my hand but if you choose to defy me? We won't see the Emerald City falling, oh no, but we will be seeing the pride before the fall just as I stated before."
Pausing momentarily, he just stares into the camera as his dark brown eyes tell a story all of their own.
Drew, "The ball is in your court Alyssa, the decision is completely up to you but keep in mind that you only get one choice and depending on that choice? You will either make a legacy or you won't be around for anybody to talk about it!"
Slipping his hands into his pockets, he begins to walk away and as he gets to the entryway of the balcony; he stops and slightly turns his body to look at the camera one last time.
Drew, "Just remember, the choice is yours and I have been nothing but a nice guy and I have given you choices to make-I've given you the opportunity to redeem yourself and I have given you the opportunity at salvation. So what will you do with it Alyssa? Will you take my hand and live forever or will you be nothing more than a footnote in the business? Only you can answer that and for your sake, I hope you make the right decision!"
Turning away from the camera and rounding the corner exiting the balcony, we can hear footsteps walking down some stairs as we realize that this promo, this puppet show is officially over.
