A Make Up Interview AT OCW Headquarters

[David Jackson]

*The camera fades in and we see Jim Black at OCW Headquarters in New York City. He is in the interview and accompanied by David Jackson. They are in their street clothes and are chatting away. We manage to catch some of their conversation before Jim realizes he has been cued by Carlos the Camera Man.*

 

Black: (Surprised) You're serious?

 

Jackson: (Straight face) I'm quite sincere.

 

Black: You have got to be the most durable person I know to survive a fall like that without any injuries.

 

Jackson: I am surprised as well Jim. I have taken so many bumps and bruises in my life that I am surprised that my body hasn't given out on me.

 

Black: To fall off a acute climbing boulder...

 

Jackson: (Cuts Jim off) Roll off Jim, roll off.

 

Black: I'm sorry, roll off a climbing boulder and only a bruised rib cage is astonishing. Nothing broken, fragmented, twisted, or major cuts. You must have a guardian angel or something watching over you.

 

Jackson: I have a guardian angel to be sure. I am very lucky to have one.

 

Carlos: Jim, you're been live for almost 30 seconds. I've been cuing you ever since.

 

Black: (Surprised) Ah, sorry Carlos. I was not paying attention to my peripheral vision.

 

Jackson: Just goes to show you that when you enjoy a conversation, the world around you can pass you by.

 

Black: Very true D-Jack and welcome to this special interview exclusively on ocwfed.com. As always I am Jim Black and my guest at this time is former OCW EX Division Champion, David Jackson. (D-Jack nods) For those of you that watched Riot a few days ago, this interview was supposed to take place after the main event backstage at that arena. However, due to technical difficulties, that never happened.

 

Jackson: (Dryly) Technology, always works.

 

Black: I hear that. Now, David here was kind enough to fly up here to make up for this interview.

 

Jackson: You asked Jim, how could I say no? Besides, I get to come back to New York City, eat the food, meet the people, and terrorize the city. It's the quadfecta of reasons.

 

Black: (Chuckles) Trifecta didn't work out for you?

 

Jackson: I couldn't use a word to describe three reasons instead of four.

 

Black: Ok, you got me there. Now, before I begin this line of questions, I have a confession to make. You were right on Riot D-Jack.

 

Jackson: (Raises an eyebrow) I don't hear those words very often. What was I right about?

 

Black: After your match on Riot, I did have more questions. A few days have passed and I have more.

 

Jackson: So glad I am here for a few days while you pick my brain. Fire away with your questions Jim, I think we have wasted enough of the viewers' time.

 

Black: Alright, here we go. On the most recent Riot, you lost the EX title. How do you feel without it?

 

Jackson: I feel naked without it. I was just getting used to being a champion again. I am quite disappointed that I lost it. The odds were against me in that fatal four way and I would be a fool to not admit it.

 

Black: Do you believe that you will have a re-match?

 

Jackson: I have already asked the gm for a re-match for that title. I didn't whine, moan, groan, or complain, I simply asked. I didn't get a response and I don't know if I will.

 

Black: What will you do between now and Wrestlution?

 

Jackson: I will try to get a match on Wrestlution and that is it. If I don't get a match, I will be on the show in some form or fashion. Who knows, maybe I will be on commentary.

 

Black: So you want to be a commentator?

 

Jackson: When can no longer wrestle on a regular basis, I want to be one. Till then, beating the crap out of people is the best way to enjoy your day.

 

Black: You are a guy who enjoys being in the thick of things to the end D-Jack. Now, do you have any hostilities towards the new OCW EX Division Champion, Jookie Marley?

 

Jackson: No, I do not. I wish him luck with his title reign, no matter how long or short it is.

 

Black: Will you be apart of Jookie's celebration on Riot?

 

Jackson: No, I will not. I'm not much of the celebrating type. I like my time aboard this Earth to be as peaceful and quiet as I can make it.

 

Black: Isn't that a bit of a contradiction to your wild and unpredictable personality?

 

Jackson: We all have our contradictions Jim, that's what makes being human so interesting.

 

Black: Very true D-Jack, very true. Now, will you be in action on Riot or just going to watch the show from backstage?

 

Jackson: I always show up on Riot, even when I am not booked. There is something about being there live that can't be bought or replicated. The adrenaline of the action taking place, the raw energy of the crowd, and the feeling on goosebumps all over your body as you exit that curtain makes me show up.

 

Black: Now there's some passion in your voice I haven't heard in awhile.

 

Jackson: Maybe it took me losing that title to make it return. It's true what they say.

 

Black: What do they say David?

 

Jackson: You don't know what you got till it's gone. I know what it is like to lose a title, I don't know what it is like to lose your passion. These are uncharted waters for me and all I can do is sail to the other side.

 

Black: More true sayings out of a unlikely source. How many more do you have in that head of yours. How many more are you going to spit out today?

 

Jackson: I believe those are my last ones. I am out of them for today. The look on your face says that you are out questions.

 

Black: Actually, there is one more question D-Jack.

 

Jackson: Close but no cigar. Ask your last question.

 

Black: How do you pick up the pieces and start from square one?

 

Jackson: You take it one day at a time, one moment at a time. You put the pieces back together according to your plan, nature's plan, someone else's plan, a mixture of two plans, or all three. It is impossible for everything to be exactly the way it was, but everything can be good again. Make sure you know who you are while those pieces are being repaired or it will be hollow.

 

Black: That was deeper than I expected D-Jack. I will have to think over that for awhile.

 

Jackson: Think about it over dinner. I'm heading over to a pizza parlor just past the Brooklyn Bridge. Would you care to join me? My treat.

 

Black: I'll take you up on that David, thank you. (Turns towards the camera) Thank you for your time on this longer than expected interview viewers. This is Jim Black with David Jackson signing off and getting some pie.

 

*Both men stand up, shake hands, and walk out of camera range as the camera fades out with the OCW logo appearing in the last few seconds.*
