Inside of a gray confession room, The Prince sits.
Prince Darko I've been watching over some previous shows. I've been doing some deep reflection. A conclusion came to mind. Maybe you are right. Just a little.

Just a little bit. Maybe I was a little bit jealous at the fact you brought gold into The Foundation before Thomas and I. Maybe my attitude changed, a little bit.
BUT!
Voice returns to calm previous stage
Yours has too. You used to be my best friend's little innocent brother. You used to have honor and respect for all competitors. Most importantly, you used to have honor and respect for yourself. Remember when Krenshov took a crack at your height? I was there, you were infuriated. You took a great offense to that remark. I never seen someone get so intense. We offered for you to cheat, you said no. You lost that match, but I had respect for you, you showed heart, commitment and determination.
And thats when it started.
All three of those things were things I was lacking. Things I didn't have.
But I didn't expose it. I kept my cool. I was proud of you. You knew you were at a disadvantage but it didn't make a difference to you. You didn't let it effect you, you went in there with heart.
I couldn't accept it, I knew I had to make you one of us, you had to become like me and Thomas. You had to cheat like us. You had to become scum like us.
But you wanted to stay strong, that angered me even more. You were hell bent on being loyal and an honorable wrestler.
I had my doubts, I knew you couldn't stay loyal to that attitude for too long. No way someone that was in the presence of Thomas and I could stay pure for long.
You stayed loyal.
Stretching my patients even further.
When I thought I made an impact on you, it didn't work. You always had to right your wrongs some how, always.
Again, that was something I never was. I never was the man to right my wrongs, I left them there. I hoped they would never return.
During your run with the TV Title, something came over you. You began to change. The odd part was, The Foundation played no part as the catalyst. This was something I thought I would never see. You became cocky, you began believing in your ways, you grew an infatuation with your methods. But it had nothing to do with The Foundation. That belt started to corrupt you. Then you started getting greedy, all you wanted to do was win. You didn't care about putting on a good match or your opponents. I knew you didn't. I saw right through your lies. "You have to respect the wrestler" You and I both know you didn't mean that.
Even though I knew you didn't care about putting on good matches, I knew you loved wrestling, that is something that never changed. But, you started loving wrestling for the wrong reason. You started loving it because you knew as long as you held to that title, you would always look good.
Exactly how I used to be. I was a corrupt sinner, but I was able to put on great matches, for the wrong reasons. I loved wrestling for the wrong reasons. That belt is turning you into the old me. The real Jeff James would never want to become that man.
You've been saying you need to help me. Stating, I need your help. I know exactly where your help will send me, right into the old me.
Call me what you will, some say I'm a bad man now. But the old me was Satan himself. But Jesus in the ring.
Jeff thats what you will become. You're slowly changing, I see it. You're striking on someone close, like me. I'm your friend. I've been your friend for a good amount of time now. You and I know it. But you're sending these negative actions towards me, because you think it's right. A lot of people may think the same.
Thats how it was at first. I snapped back on someone very close to me.
I snapped on my uncle, we were close. Just like this.

He was a wise man, he knew where I was headed. He told me where I was going to end up. Being young and cocky, I didn't believe him. I told him to F off. Being offended by this, an argument arose. I vaguely remember what was said, but I remember I told him he was a piece of shit and will never be able to have the success that I have. He walked off angry.
Being young I thought I clearly won the battle. But as you get older you start to see things differently. I know now, none of us won, both of us lost.
I haven't spoke to him since.
The point is, I thought I was right. That, ignited my crusade to go against anyone who had an opinion against mine.
Jeff, this is the same example. You're one of the biggest stars in the NAPW right now. I was one of the biggest wrestlers of all time then. Look what happened to me. I lost a lot of people I loved and cared about.
Jeff, please, don't let history repeat.
Let me help you.
Jeff, listen, if you don't take my help, you'll destroy everything around you. You think NAPW will to have a wrestler with an attitude like that? You'll get buried. Wrestling will be the only thing in your life. The life outside the ring will be publicized, other feds will hear about it. Your life as a wrestler will be damned to the life of a Jober.You'll win one or two upset victories due to interference, but over all you'll become like Chad. Think about it, people will start to see you in the same light as Chad. Or, they might consider him better than you. Your name will forever be trashed.
Look, I understand being on top is good, but we always come down. If you take my help the fall won't be as bad.
The only way I can help you is by ending your title reign. It's for the good of The Foundation. It's for the good of your wrestling career. It's for the good of your soul.
Please, I hate to see The Foundation break over this.
