::The scene opens to Jacob Daniels standing in front of a REDEFINE banner that is hung up on a chain link fence. Daniels is in faded jeans and a sleeveless black shirt, showing off his large arms covered in tattoos.::
"A truly humbling experience is what I got from Faolan Reid last show. I gave the man everything I had and he bested me that night. He truly has my respect. You see Faolan, he won the match and earned his spot in the Triple Threat match for a REDEFINE World Title shot. I busted my ass, won all my matches to that point and took a former Television Champion to his limit. And that earned me my spot in the Number One Contender Tournament for the TV Championship. You Jason Richards? You got your spot by simply knowing someone. Honestly, when was the last time you did something here in REDEFINE that would earn you a spot in this tournament?"
"I won't be surprised when you come out here and list off past accomplishments like they matter here, I won't be surprised when you rant about what you have done in other companies that are not REDEFINE and try to use them to build yourself up. It's going to be the same old tired song and dance with you Jason. You know, it's funny how little your friend does thing of you. He gave you a TV Title tournament spot but he gave Ajax a spot in the World Title contenders match. Hell, you even came in talking about how you want to get your hands on Carmen Cambridge but you have to beat me in this tournament to get to her... And even that depends on how Abby does against her."
"Ajax got everything he wanted, Sasha isn't here anymore, a spot in the REDEFINE World Championship contenders match and you? I think he tossed you into this tournament just to shut you up. You may try to cover it up and say I'm some tune up match for you, to get your skills resharpened for the match you wanted against Carmen. I really hope you feel that way because when I end up knocking you down a peg or two, maybe then you can take your ball and go home like you did last time."
"You said it yourself Jason, you lost your passion and wanted nothing to do with wrestling. You only came back because this sport is all you have left and makes you who you are. So if that's true, then why not make your life worth something instead of just taking hand outs from friends? Why not earn respect instead of just thinking it should be given to you? End of our match... I'll still offer my hand to you. Hell even before because me? I actually have respect and honor for this sport. Maybe by the time we are done you might have some too."

::The scene opens to Jacob Daniels jogging on a treadmill. Sweat covers his face and soaks the upper portions of his shirt. He notices the camera crew and stops the treadmill and steps off of it. After a quick drink of water and toweling off his face, Jacob begins to speak.::
"People's reputations are a huge thing in the world. I mean, when there are enough people that think about you in a certain way, it speaks loudly. Me? I'm known for busting my ass and doing things the right way... Earning my keep. What does your reputation say about you Jason Richards? From what I heard about you, you're a guy that comes to various companies... Most ran by your friends and you float around in them before you get bored or the fans get bored of you. You're the same old song and dance Jason, nothing about you or your character has changed over the years and that's not a compliment."
"It makes me wonder why Pariah would let you come back here. He of all people must know that your track record is filled with more blank spots and questions than the average career. But then I sat back and looked at the whole landscape and I noticed something. Ajax? He has the same right to be in a contenders match as you do, none. But why is it he gets the chance for the World Title and you only the TV Title? Your climb is longer and your goal isn't as great. You wanted your hands on Carmen Cambridge and you have to wrestle for that possibility. Put that into your mind Jason... Pariah is making you earn what you want under the disguise of giving you something."
"Think about it. He gets a name... Granted not a great one that he could ride high up the mountain or he can let you crash to the ground and it wouldn't be anything off his back. You're low risk, high reward. Pariah can sleep at night knowing he gave a friend a handout and it won't cost him much in return."
"Myself on the other hand? A win against me was enough to erase three straight losses for Faolan Reid and give him a spot in the REDEFINE World Championship contenders match. In a weird way, my loss comes at a plus for me because it shows where I am at as far as REDEFINE goes. You see, if I'm able to get to point where I can fight for the TV Championship, I will have earned my way with honor and respect for this sport. You won't hear me question my drive for this sport like you did Jason. Hope to hear from you here soon."
::Jacob shrugs his shoulders and smiles at the camera. He then steps back up on the treadmill and starts up his running jog again as the scene fades out.::

The video feed slowly begins as we hear the sound of Jacob Daniels voice as the scene opens up we see Jason Richards standing in front of a television watching on. The words don’t seem to faze him as he just glares at the screen the camera watching on. The promo stops as he seems to be taking it all in as he now turns his focus to the camera as a smile comes across his face. He waits a few more moments and then begins to speak to the camera.
Jacob you my friend are a man with a lot to say but news flash for you I have never once denied that in my past I have lost my passion for this business and walked away. The things you have said are not news to this business or anyone in it for that matter. I leave I come back but this time you see things are different does anyone believe no do I give a fuck? No. My reputation may have taken some massive hits here and there but the one thing remains when I am on my game I am one of the best this business has to offer. I think you’re under the impression I believe you can’t beat me and your wrong I know you can I just don’t care. I am back for my love of this business and if I work my ass off like I know I can the wins they will come right along with it.
He shakes his head a bit as he chuckles to himself he then turns he focus right back to the camera and begins speaking again.
I know your just coming off injury and you want to make an impact you want people to remember just how dominate you once were. The problem is with all of this your stepping in to the ring with someone who truly has nothing else left in his life then professional wrestling. I guess what I am trying to say is win lose or draw you’re in for the fight of your life. I know no one and I mean no one gives me a shot against you and to those people I say go fuck yourselves. I can promise you on everything I have that I am back and this time for good. I will see you in the ring big man.
He just walks away from the camera as the video feed cuts out.

::The scene opens with a shot of a mirror just over the shoulder of Jacob Daniels.
"You know there is an old saying that goes 'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.' You, Jason Richards have removed that doubt. You said how the things I said are all true that everyone knows these things about you. They know you're using friendships to get in favorable matches? They know that any shred of honor that was ever attached to your name is long gone? They know that me beating you is what is best for this sport? Because it is. You claim that you love and have a passion for this sport again but yet you'd allow yourself to be given preferential treatment by being placed in a tournament that you have done nothing to earn the spot. How can you claim to love something with a passion and take the easy road? How can you claim to be back and be revitalized when you are doing the same tired shit that you did when you left for the umpteenth time?"
"You said you're going to work your ass off and the wins will come... So far it seems like working your ass off looks like taking friendly handouts. How can you claim things are going to be different now when it sounds like the same song and dance? Nothing is different this time Jason, nothing is ever going to change with you. If you honestly loved and felt passionate about this sport, you would care what people think because you are a representative of pro wrestling."
::He turns towards the camera with a smile on his face.::
"You know if this was a few years back, I would actually have enjoyed the chance to lock up with you Jason, prove who was really the better man. But now? It's like you're a shell of what you used to be and a win against you just isn't what it once was. I know big wins... Hell, I have a pin fall victory over Pat Gordon Jr. But this one, well it's just not the same. I know you're going to give me everything you got Jason, there's no question about that. But I just don't think your best is that good enough anymore."
::Jacob starts to walk towards the door of the room and stops just short of leaving.::
"I will offer you my hand in a sign of sportsmanship after the match Jason. I do so for everyone I face and you will not be the exception. Here's hoping you accept it."
::He opens the door and exits the room as the scene fades out.::
