Over the past five and a half years of his career, Davidson has faced and struggled with much adversity. The industry obviously becomes too much for some people at times and it's even hard to move forward, backward or remain still without feeling some the repercussions of each decision. A lot of the people who have problems all around them are going to a superstar who's affable and can give them an idea how to deal with some of these things that put much stress on you. Unfortunately for Davidson, he wasn't able to have a wrestler or even a regular person in that industry become his go-to guy. Rather than express himself to somebody willing to hear and help, he kept it all bottled up inside until it become too much. Much too much. We saw the repercussions of that decision and it wasn't pretty nor deserving for him of all people. Nobody deserves substance abuse and the pain of dealing with it, nobody deserves a hurt or depression that you can actually feel and not get out of, nobody deserves the loneliness of a lost mind and a tortured soul. Nobody, point-blank.
It was the age of affliction, a whole two years of complete and utter misery that was nearly impossible to escape. He thought that he was trapped forever, unable to escape this alien agitation. It sure as Hell seemed like forever, it wasn't long ago when he found himself out of that hole, either. There once was an agenda for Davidson, there once was a lot of things he was looking forward to doing. Shame for him, he lost it with his fire. Two of the most important things he had went missing out of his life, simply up and walked away. They're still lost yet to be found, the searching was over but now it has begun. How negligent of him for not trying this sooner, a lot of people thought he lost care. Nonsense, he still cared about being the top guy, he still cared about being intense. There was one problem and that was he had nothing to base his success on, the plotted plans were all lost. So what was even the use of getting out of the quicksand? He wondered it himself, but the lost ambition screamed to him inside. It begged him, it pleaded him. Even though it's not his style to listen others, he decided to be amiable in this case and swallow his pride. The ego was rather ample, but his mouth was big enough at the time to fit it in.
There was much apprehension when he really thought about it, too much for him to handle and he often wonders why he didn't drop the blade or pull the trigger. Instead of listening to that voice in his head that tried to tell him to cave into that pressure so many times, he decided to seize the day and make the best of life. Finally, for once, he start living like the happy chap he used to be and it became quite evident he won the war. It all belongs to ancient times with a lot of other things that he noticed were more of a burden than he had normally realized. Everything felt was audible, but he was able to numb that pain with attainment. Stronger than all, he's ready to roll with the punches again. He's ready to captivate, something he's lacked doing long ago. He knew it was only a temporary loss, biding his time was all he really could do until that day arrived when it came back home before Davidson was ready for a more than deserving castration.
But because he's feeling it again, don't expect him to drink the finest wine from a golden chalice, have somebody spit-shine his shoes or be all primp and proper. A few things have changed in Davidson's world; while he may have changed physically and doesn't exactly care to impress people with a mass quantity of things like before, he's intent on impressing people with a mass quality of stellar performances each and every week. Not to shove this down your throat for a near twentieth time since coming back to Wrestling 2000, but Davidson is chock-full of aggression and he's faster than a fucking flash of light. So get it right. Expect a cloudburst of competition from Davidson to rain down on you. Will you survive the flood?
Opening up to a room where Davidson stands before a clear mirror, staring at his reflection. He's not staring directly into his eyes or at his face, he's looking over his shoulder at the door. Intensity radiates off of him, he breathes heavily and fogs up the mirror, damaging the reflection. Turning around, he lets out a slight sigh and relieves tension in his neck by cocking it to one side resulting in a series of snaps.
Davidson: "There's a place where the best roam, there's a place full of knowledge, there's a place where respect is immediately given as well as received and there is also a place you aren't the least bit out of place. It sounds too good to be true and I'm sure that you'd absolutely love to be in such an idyllic place, and let me tell you, it's possible but you have to struggle hard and fight your way to the top. I'll give you a hint: neither one of us are there yet, at least not in W2K. It's called the eGold list. A lot of former and current W2K personalities have good chances at making it, better than some, some are certain to be on it. Me? I'm not going to be cocky and say I have a bigger chance than you of getting on their, I really don't know if I'm capable of making it there or even being close to it someday. I'd love to, yeah. But I'm not going to sit or stand around, saying how thrilled I would be if such a thing happened. Instead of talking about it, I'll start earning a spot in there with a lot of hard work as well as dedication. I've already made it in BWA's Hall of Fame, if FWA ever has one then I'm pretty sure I'm going to be added to the list, so why have W2K be that one place I spent so much time and effort in, only to come up short? I'm not going to let my 2005 tenure be W2K's definition of Davidson, so I've come roughly four years later to the same place to correct myself. Here I am, take a good look. I've made a lot of progress elsewhere in those four years, time to make a lot here."
While his piss-poor effort in W2K the last time he was here was rather laughable and too humiliating, he's grown to become quite the superstar and he's changed a lot of people's opinions since his successful run in British Wrestling Alliance. Many people were shocked and surprised and didn't think it was even possible, but he did it. He broke through that glass ceiling that stopped him for many years.
Davidson: "Last week I had a chance to do something noteworthy, but you know, it just wasn't me. It's known I spent two years in Fans Wrestling Alliance's Reckless division, winning matches with the use of weapons to aid me to victory. It was almost as if I had been wrestling in a handicap match that whole time because things were too simple, so drawn out and very tedious. I had fun for awhile, that I'll admit, but everything stopped being fresh and no longer did it feel relevant to my interests. It was almost like I drank too much alcohol, woke up the next morning hungover, only to feel like vomiting whenever I saw anything else alcoholic. I was in the same position with the Reckless title, it made me feel sick to my stomach and I was growing tired of having to look at it when I wrestled a much too painful for my likings. I can deal with a fair bit of pain, I've taken more than enough knuckles to the nose, but try brass-knuckles to the jaw at least once a month. The flaw about the Reckless division and any division like that is you can only do so much with a certain object until you start to question the skill involved. It's just a huge waste of materials that could be put to much better use, I outgrown the whole scene that took me back in time. Before Reckless Rasslin', there was a thing call technical skills that I was doing well in. Time to get back on that bike and learn how to maneuver it at ease again."
Wrestling in FWA's Reckless division did a lot of damage to his knowledge of professional wrestling. Performing suplexes, grappling holds and submissions seemed unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable. The Reckless division taught him very few things that he already had a rough idea how to do and that was swing fast and hard. It didn't take long to perfect, but excelling things at ease doesn't particularly put a smile on somebody's face. It's not hard, honest work to be proud of.
Davidson: "This week it's a good, old-fashioned inter-gender tag team wrestling match. Teaming up with Serenity, we're taking on the team of Marcus Johnson and Rorie Steele. I've been in wrestling federations with all three of them, Serenity and I were in BWA, FWA and APW together and I was also in APW with Marcus and Rorie. I've had few encounters with either of them, I really don't know them from a hole in the ground, but I'm sure it's not going to take much for me to be on their bad or good side in due time. I have a feeling already they think contempt of me, but that doesn't bother me a bit. I basically beat up Marcus backstage last week, so that's understanding from his point of view. I never was respectful of women's rights, so Rorie and Serenity never liked me from the get-go. Basically, all three of them will want to kick my ass this week. Chances of it happening? Very likely. Just because Serenity is my partner doesn't mean she won't pull some psycho shit that will have her turn on me. But if she wants to win, she'll be smart and be on the same page as me to beat them both senseless. I'm looking forward to nothing but defeating the two, I'll do it at any cost necessary."
Victory, he's always had a craving for it. Davidson's last victorious win was in FWA last year in the fall. By defeating TJ Bryce in a cage match for the Reckless title, he became the first-ever four-time Reckless champion and the last one, too. He's proud he accomplished quite the thing and he was content on winning, but it was Reckless nonetheless. If he wins on RAGE, this will be his first-ever clean wrestling win in God knows how long.
Davidson: "This match is basically going to be what makes or breaks me here in W2K. If they notice I do a bad performance through the match, they probably won't want much to do with me anymore and I can't blame them for that. But the one thing I'm not is a bad performer, it's the reason why I've had a steady job wherever I've gone and why I've always been consistently booked in stellar matches. I have that ability to draw and keep a person interested, I have more than enough qualities to keep my wrestling contract from entering the paper shredder. I've got my eye on something big here in W2K, you know what it is and I'm not going to stop until I get it. Others can make attempts to stop me, and I actually encourage them to try their best. Whether their best is good enough or not, that's not the point. The point is, the more of you I'm able to make bow down to my knees and even lose to me, the better chance I have of being put in the main-event and being given a shot at the champion's title. It worked in BWA, it sort of worked in FWA, but it will totally work here!"
Raising an eyebrow, he's not so sure on that. His success in BWA was from beating big names and moving up, that's true, but he only did it in short time and already Marcus Williams saw the growing talent and desire for stardom in Davidson. He had good judgment in talent, he knew how to run a promotion and push the right guys. FWA, not so much. What BWA and W2K have in common are the ideas on placing superstars where they are deserving. Davidson's not expecting the red-carpet treatment, he doesn't think he's worthy of it in W2K of all places. Someday, maybe. Right now? Certainly not.
Davidson: "So come RAGE, Rorie and Marcus better be prepared for what I've got to unleash in that ring. I've been holding back a lot of my talent for far too long, I'm not going to resort to cheap tactics like I have in order to pull out a win. It's honesty in that ring from here on. As for Serenity, if you even make an attempt of taking me out in our match, I'd better watch out. This is the most ready I've ever been in a long time to break out in a wrestling federation. I'm sure already you're drowning in fear knowing that I'm bigger than you have ever believed. Wouldn't be so smart to do something stupid, now would it? However, I'll see what you all do come RAGE, won't I?"
Smirking at the camera, he nods his head. He's got a good idea that he won't be the most popular guy in the inter-gender tag team match. While Marcus is probably still sore from last week, he won't do much more than take a good beating and feel the sores multiply in pain. Rorie's ambition is rather questionable, as is Serenity's. Hopefully they tear one another apart and Davidson goes in there, stronger than all, taking the pinfall over either Rorie or Marcus. He'll be sure not to disappoint. And so we fade.
