Jman: For the last 14 days, I’ve been bombarded with one question. “Why, J, did you attack Dubs at Blood Harvest?” Well, it’s simple. I attacked Dubs because what he said is based in a very real, very painful reality for me.
The crowd murmurs as Jman continues.
Jman: Before we get too far down that road, though, let’s get one thing straight…If I wanted to, I could stand here right now and say I’m challenging TDA for the World Heavyweight Championship at Resurrection and that match would steal the show and be an early favorite for 2013 Match of the Year.
The crowd pops hard but J just keeps going.
Jman: But that’s not what I want to do. It’s not what I’m needed for in JBW anymore. Blood Harvest changed my role in this company forever. For better or worse, the new era of JBW is here and now is my time to take a step back and let all these new faces strut their stuff.
There’s a mixed reaction as Jman continues.
Jman: So, was Dubs right in saying I had lost a step? No, absolutely not. But then there was his assertion that I retire. That’s what got me thinking. With all this change around me, with fellow old school Jabesters parading out the door in droves, with new blood filling the locker room…The only logical question I could think to ask myself after Blood Harvest was “Am I needed here anymore?” The answer I came to every time I asked myself that question in the last two weeks was “No.” An unequivocal, resounding “No.” Why, I told myself, would I want to take air time, publicly, or a spot on the card from someone who actually needs it. Ego? No. Money? No. Championships? No. those guys in the locker room are family. Nothing gets in the way of family.
Crowd: Please don’t go! Please don’t go! Please don’t go!
Jman: So, after the scheduled entertainment was finished for tonight, I was fully prepared to come out here, say goodbye, and go home. Then, when I got here this morning and told my old pal Eddie what my intentions were, he made me an offer. An offer, as my people might put it, that I couldn’t refuse. It was the perfect opportunity. I’d get to be a part of JBW, a place that I love dearly, on a daily basis and my concerns about getting in the way of the next generation were squashed. To make a very long story short, I’m the General Manager of Killzone.
The crowd pops like crazy for that news and Jman is clearly relieved to have gotten all he had to say off his chest. The new GM visibly relaxes before continuing to speak.
Jman: So, now that I’m done rambling, let’s get down to business. Ever since we debuted the TV title, I’ve always thought we should, y’know, have it defended on TV more than once in a blue moon. Now that I have that power, I’m going to make that happen. So, tonight, it’ll be the World Television Champion Malcolm Cage versus the man he didn’t score the pin over at Blood Harvest; Mike Hawk.
Then, with me joining Pat and Duds on commentary, ‘cause I can, it’ll be HolyJose versus the man who beat yours truly at Blood Harvest, Shuriken, in the main event. The winner of that match will go on to face TDA at Resurrection.
The crowd pops again.
Jman: We’ll have a bunch of other fun stuff going on too but, right now, I’d like to bring somebody out here; somebody who should’ve opened this show. The new Justifiably Badass Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion and my good friend; TheDevilsAdvocateeeeeeeeeeeee!
