*The fans leap to their feet as Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" hits. After a few seconds, "The Role Model" walks out onto the stage, clad in a "Role Model" T-shirt and a pair of khakis, and begins walking down the ramp with no fanfare.*
MTMT: "Out of all the moments had at Ruler of the Ring, one not shown was a definitive winner of Anthony Jordan and Chris Holtz in their Iron Man match. Not due to any controversy in the match, but rather, because there wasn't a match at all."
Ventura: "And the wrestling world owes Mr. Draven a great, big 'thank you' for saving us from that snooze fest."
MTMT: "There wasn't a wrestling fan I talked to who wasn't eager for that match."
Ventura: "It didn't involve the New Connection, so why would anyone be eager for it?"
*Jordan picks up the microphone set up at the top of the steel steps before ascending them and entering the ring. He makes the "throat slash" gesture to tell the production crew to cut off his music, which happens. Jordan looks down as the fans continue to cheer.*
Jordan: "I have had titles stolen from me, but deep down, I could live with it because I looked at it like losing a fashion accessory. It bothered me like losing my favorite shoes would. I would be upset, but I would be okay in the long run. I was okay because despite losing a belt; I still possessed the status as the very best, and it was a fact everyone understood."
*Jordan pauses for a few seconds, then continues.*
Jordan: "I believe I am the very best today, and I do not need a belt to prove it. However, I am aware of my incomplete record. I have not yet scored a pinfall on Chris Holtz, and I lost the chance to rectify that at Ruler of the Ring."
*Jordan finally looks up and turns to the ramp.*
Jordan: "Timmy Draven decided his company did not have enough time alloted to let Anthony Jordan and Chris Holtz, two of the undisputed best in the world today, practice their trade."
*The fans boo as Jordan frowns.*
Ventura: "With good cause. Jordan conveniently leaves that out."
MTMT: "What 'good cause?'"
Ventura: "Because he didn't want it! The man's a billionaire, Matt. He knows what makes money, and he knew Jordan/Holtz II wouldn't make money."
Jordan: "I could come out here, get over it, and talk about teaming with Ripper and facing Jackson Kage and Conner O'Shea. I could do that, but that is not my top priority now. When the bell rings next Monday, it will be all business and Ripper and I will win. I have complete confidence there. I love that feeling..."
*Jordan trails off as he walks to the corner and puts his head on the turnbuckle. The fans start cheering as Jordan inhales deeply and lifts his head back up.*
Jordan: "I worked hard to earn that feeling of confidence. I always had it, but it has constantly been reinforced by my tremendous success in this business. It is wonderful, but it is not complete. I need my match with Holtz. I need to wrestle my heart out, win, and confidently proceed on with my career. I cannot let this hold me back."
*Jordan steps back from the turnbuckle until he reaches the middle of the ring. He exhales this time and looks at the ramp.*
Jordan: "Draven, I know you do not like me, and to be honest, I do not like you. We have never had much of a good history together. I mean, you spent half a year preventing me from using a title shot I earned. You made me fight the whole roster twice until I eventually lost that title shot. I made you miserable, too. I do not want you to do me a favor. I am not asking for you to be my friend. I do not want help or a hand out. I want you to look into your heart..."
*"The Role Model" looks down and pauses.*
Jordan: "And do what is right."
*The crowd cheers loudly in support.*
MTMT: "An impassioned plea from a true legend. A fair match against Chris Holtz is all he wants, and he should get it!"
Jordan: "Draven..."
*He trails off and lowers the microphone for a few seconds before lifting it back up.*
Jordan: "Timmy, I remember back in 2004 when things were tough for 'The Lone Wolf.' You were going through your first divorce, fighting for custody of your daughter, and your dad betrayed you. You were down, out, and at the end of your career as a wrestler. It would have been easy for the BWA Board of Directors to dismiss your challenge to Croc for the Undisputed World Title, but they did not. They did the right. They gave you a chance to win the one title you never won to correct the one incompletion on your record. You made the most of that opportunity and took home our your only BWA World Title in a three stages match!"
*The crowd actually pops for Draven's past accomplishment.*
MTMT: "I was in the back pulling for Timmy. It was a magical night."
Jordan: "You might be an owner now, but you were a wrestler and, deep down, you still are. Not from an employee to a boss, not from an enemy to an enemy, but from a wrestler to a wrestler..."
*Jordan drops to his knees.*
Jordan: "I am begging you to give me the chance you got five years ago. The clock is ticking on Chris Holtz's time here, and I might never get another chance for this peace of mind. I do not care about the kind of match. Make it an Iron Man match, ladder match, no-disqualification match, submission match, two-out-of-three falls match, tuxedo match, sumo match...WHATEVER!"
*The fans explode with cheers as Jordan continues.*
Jordan: "I do not care about the type of match. All I care about is who my opponent is. Give me Chris Holtz. Give me the chance to get the one win I have never had. I know you want to wait until the Super Anarchy, but I think we need an answer right now!"
*Still on his knees, Jordan holds his arms out begging for an answer as the fans completely support him.*
MTMT: "What will Timmy Draven do?"
MTMT: "Out of all the moments had at Ruler of the Ring, one not shown was a definitive winner of Anthony Jordan and Chris Holtz in their Iron Man match. Not due to any controversy in the match, but rather, because there wasn't a match at all."
