Saus X is shown walking along the side of the road inside of a neighborhood part of Charlotte, North Carolina. Adapt to your environment, he thought. Maybe his recent slew of losses was because he wasn't familiar with where he was. He drove down to here after the show. Familiarize himself with the place. Of course, that's not why he lost. But having a scapegoat reasoning helped looking away from it.
He stepped onto a corner, preparing to cross an empty street. Before he could step out, he heard a voice behind him. "Wait!" X turned around to look at voice, as a man ran up to him. "George E. Brilliant. And I can make you into a star!" Brilliant held his hand out for a handshake, which X declined. "Why do I need your help?" Brilliant chuckled a bit. "You've been on a slew of losses and bad luck recently. 3 v 1 Situations aren't the greatest." X began to walk away from Brilliant, crossing the crosswalk. Brilliant followed behind. "I don't need your help anyways. I'm self made!" "Then what's your plan for your match?"
X stopped in his tracks with a blank stare. "Your hesitation says it all. Lucky for you, I've studied everyone on the roster. I can help you succeed. All it takes is a simple handshake!" Brilliant held his hand out again. X pondered for a bit before shaking Brilliant's hand. "Where do I start?" X watched as Brilliant began to walk along the sidewalk, turning into a parking lot. He followed behind, as Brilliant headed towards a coffee shop. "We can discuss over a cup of coffee. Or tea, whatever you prefer." Brilliant entered into the coffee shop and found himself a seat. X joined him, slouching a bit.
"So, your in this match that could make you a champion, and you have no plan? Amateur." X seemed a bit annoyed. "You want me to take your help and then you slander me." "I want to help you because I can see a star in you. Someone who will be selling out arenas. Of course, you have a long way to go." "Well, what do I need?" "Patience is a virtue. But one of the main things you lack is star power! You're bottom of the food chain. Compared to Shinzo, Pariah, McMichaels, Cutter, and Sanders, you are nothing. You have the spark, you can't ignite it though. But what better way to ignite it than with a legend of the business?"
"You sure are cocky." "With the right to be. Anyways, since you don't have a plan, I'm gonna assume you know nothing about Mr. Namatjira. That's your first mistake. Being blind of your opposition is the number one reason for your failures. Now tell me, what do you know about him?" X sat there for a bit, "He's big, so I can just outspeed him and take him out with the ropes." "Base level stuff. I like your thinking, but what happens when he knocks you out of air. In this case, the ropes are your worst enemy. Here's what you do. Your small, quick, fast. He may outclass you in sheer power and strength, but you outspeed him. Wear him out, use kicks and strikes. Ropes should be for getaways and follow ups."
"Your advice is boring" "My advice will keep you on the card. My advice will help you even after this whole tournament. I see your problems with the Northern Touch. You need allies against them. You have allies in Kandi and Shinzo right? Well, I think Shinzo doesn't recognize your existence. But Kandi! She's your ally. That's a good thing. Add in a third person, who has experience in wrestling. We match the Northern Touch pricks in numbers and outweigh them in ability"
"You may be right. But I need to fight my own battles. And before you say anything like "this is a set up for disaster", I know. If I can't beat them alone, what's saying I'll be able to do anything alone" "As much as nobody wants to admit it, you need to work with others to make it in this business. When your 2 v 1 or even 3 v 1, you don't have any advantages. Once you even it up, you can shine. Now, do you want to win the title?" "Of course I do." "Then focus on improving your relationships with others. There is a high possibility you'll meet Brandon Rogers later on. You've already pissed off his friends, having the disadvantage in a title match is bad. You've already agreed to work with me, so you're stuck with me and Vice Versa. Now, I want you to have one thing on your mind. Norman Namatjira. Everything you do needs to circle back to you beating him. Once that's all and done, I'll help you with your next opponent."
"Namatjira, he's big and broly. I need to match his limits and go beyond." "Exactly. He can take more punishment than you, but you can match it. Once he hits hard, you hit harder. Now, let's get something to drink. Clear your mind and put all your focus into this match" A waiter came to the two as we fade away, with our glimpse of the two is them drinking their respective drinks and talking.
