Down Time With D-Jack III Part 3

[David Jackson]

*The camera fades in and we see Jim Black and David Jackson just chatting away. It appears that Jim is trying to figure out why David just walked away on the last segment.*

 

Black: Was it something I said? Did I offend you in any way?

 

D-Jack: (Shakes his head) No, no, heavens no. I just broke up with my girlfriend of two years two hours before the last recording session started and it was still weighing heavily on my mind. I feel much better than I did three weeks ago, I have been in the gym, and I have been learning some new moves ever since. I think you know why and I think you can explain it better than I can. Let's start off this interview, shall we?

 

Black: We shall...(Turns to the camera)...welcome to Down Time With D-Jack III part 3. As always I am Jim Black, OCW interviewer, and with me is Free Agent, David Jackson. Before we get started on D-Jack's past career, his current career may have been re-surfaced. He makes his return to OCW competition after 3 months of inactivity. He will be on the 2nd showing of Ambition. You shall face Gabriel Alpha in Alpha's debut match. What are you thoughts on this match?

 

D-Jack: (Smiles) Well, this match will serve two fold. It will be Alpha's chance to prove that he belongs on OCW programming and it will be my chance to prove that I still belong in OCW. Oh, I almost forgot, he's a fellow light heavyweight, so I'm betting the OCW World Extremist Champion will be watching this match. Who knows, maybe one of us will challenge the champ in the future. I wish the best of luck to Alpha and hope that he stays in OCW. You said there was something else you wanted to ask me before we get rolling?

 

Black: (Nods his head) Yes, I did. Now, on our last segment, is seems that Brad Bruer thinks that HVW is an active fed. Could you clarify if it is or not?

 

D-Jack: Certainly Jim. Also, if Brad has anymore questions or anyone else at that matter, send them to me and I shall answer them. HVW died when I was 20 yrs. old. I'm 22 now, so that was 2 years ago.

 

Black: Thank you for the clarification. Now, about where we left off, did any of your other pay-per-views run the projected 15 hours?

 

D-Jack: (Eyes grew big) Nooooooooo....That was our only one that lasted that long. All future pay-per-views were down to the standard 3 - 4 hours. No one in that locker room wanted to do that again. That pleased everyone and took a huge load off of my back.

 

Black: Let's get back to the wrestling part of your career. You had just became the 1st HVW Heavyweight Champion and you are obviously very happy. What did that title mean to you?

 

D-Jack: (Smiles) It was the 1st title I have ever held, so it meant something very special to me. On top of that, it was the top title of the company. I remember thinking that I will not let this go easily. Oh boy, was that the case.

 

Black: Who was your 1st title defense against?

 

D-Jack: Big Sexy. A re-match was scheduled almost immediately by our owner, Geoff Masters. We had our re-match on our next weekly show and it was our 1st match of the evening. Both Sexy and I got standing ovations from the crowd when we entered. When the smoke settled, all was said and done, and the ref counted three, I was standing with my hand held high and a title around my waist. Both of shook hands afterwords because we took turns traveling with the other home and one of us would be mad.

 

Black: That would definitely be a bad car ride if one of you was made at the other. How often did you defend that title and who was your hardest defense against?

 

D-Jack: (Takes a deep breath) I defended that title every week in every single match type imaginable. From hardcore to submission to cage matches, I did everything and everything I could. As far as my toughest defense, it came in the form of relative new comer, Versus. (Looks at Jim) Yes, Jim, it is the same Versus that resides in CCW. It was 3 1/2 months into my title defense and it was his turn to challenge me. We faced each other in a Cage Match. I fondly remember the match because he came closer to ending my title reign than anyone else. Numerous time throughout the match, I thought "I am going to lose my title to Versus. If I do, what a match this has been." He performed better than I have ever seen before. Every move he through at me was crisp and stronger than ever. I managed to hit the D-Jack Kick and he went down. As I started to climb the cage, he got up and went right after me. I won by a single strand of hair on my head. Versus and I went over the top of the cage at the same time. My feet hit the floor 1st by a fraction of a second. It's my personal belief that if weighed any less, he would've won. I wouldn't mind fighting Versus every week, I would never get bored and if I lost, I wouldn't care.

 

Black: The only way you would face Versus now is to be in CCW D-Jack. What happened next?

 

D-Jack: (Thinks for a second) Well, Geoff Masters gave me the week off out of nowhere and I spent it in Orlando. I turned off my cell phone and just enjoyed my rest. When I got back from my vacation, something unexpected was on the card for next week. It was a title vs title match and it was just 3 weeks shy of my 4 month title reign anniversary.. It would be me vs. Mark Army, the greatest . Whoever won this match would become the 1st ever double champion in HVW history. The match took place and it show cased both of our individual talents. It showed Mark Army's brawler style and it showed my light heavyweight/technical style that made me champion. The match ended with Mark Army going for a reverse DDT, but I managed to reverse it into a suplex. He stayed down long enough for me to hit my version of the Five Star Frog Splash, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I called it. Anyway, he was down for the three count and I won. I became the 1st ever double champion in HVW history and I couldn't believe it. I just remember driving out of that arena lighter than air and a feeling that I was on top of the world.

 

Black: HVW was definitely a good place for you D-Jack. Double champion, held a good number of jobs, and you were a fan favorite. I remember the you told me one day that there was one match that you never had a chance to do. What match was that?

 

D-Jack: (Big grin) It was me vs. Klown. It was labeled as the ultimate contest. Ever since I became HVW Heavyweight Champion, I was undefeated. Ever since Klown came to HVW, he was undefeated and the HVW EX Champion. Someone was going to lose their title and their undefeated streak. We hinted and let it slip that that match would take place in the near future. Pretty soon, that's the only match that the fans clamored for. Unfortunately, it never happened. 6 weeks before our match was to take place, Klown came to my office and told me that he had prior engagements to fulfill and he had no idea when he was going to be back. He also told me to strip him of his title that he wouldn't be around to defend it. As much as it hurt me, I granted him his leave of absence and stripped him of his title. That was the last I saw of him till he re-surfaced in OCW.

 

Black: To have the match that all fans were looking forward to not happen...I can't imagine what disappointment must've filled their minds, your mind, and the minds of the HVW brass. What became of the HVW EX Championship?

 

D-Jack: Well, before Klown left, he was scheduled to face our resident submission expert, Savage. He said he was the son of legendary WWE performer "Macho Man" Randy Savage. However, we could never prove or dis-prove that claim. We tried to contact Randy Savage himself, but we never had any luck. I decided to hold a mini-tournament that night to crown a new ex champion and Savage would face the winner of that tournament for that title. Savage had other ideas and wanted to be named the champion right off the bat. We didn't do that in HVW. If you want a title, you have to fight for it. You're not going to be named a default champion right off the bat.

 

Black: (Surprised) That's the same rule HVW has. So, who won that tournament and Savage's following match?

 

D-Jack: (Thinks for a second) Well, Versus won that tournament and became our 2nd ex champion. He and Savage fought two weeks later and Savage won that match by a narrow margin. It was one week before my 4 month title reign and the owner of HVW, Geoff Masters, had a announcement that shook the very foundation of HVW. It was the creation of the HVW Undisputed Championship. However, it wasn't your typical kind of championship.

 

Black: What made this title so special?

 

D-Jack: When Geoff called this title undisputed, he meant undisputed. You had to hold all of HVW titles: The HVW Heavyweight Championship, the HVW Television Championship, and the HVW Extreme Championship. That way, there was no question that you ruled HVW.

 

Black: That would definitely show dominance. When did the match take place, did it have special name and was there a certain match type that was used for this important match?

 

D-Jack: The match was made on the eve of my 4 month heavyweight title reign. The match was between me, the current HVW Heavyweight and Television Champion, and Savage, the current HVW Extreme Champion. It was called a "Everything 2 Gain & Lose" match. Whoever won that match, left with everything and the prestige of being called the 1st ever HVW Undisputed Champion. The loser would go home with nothing but a sore attitude. The match type was unique to say the least. It was a Hell In A Cell match with a twist. It was a Submission Hell In A Cell match. The only way you could win was by tap out. It was one of the most unusual match I've ever been apart of.

 

Black: Submission Hell In A Cell match? I've never even heard of that before now. It appears that HVW had some innovations of their own.

 

D-Jack: (Chuckles) We did what we could to get by.

 

Black: What went through your mind as you were preparing for this important match?

 

D-Jack: To be honest, I was scared stiff. I was facing a guy who was our submission expert and he was a bit sadistic. I was literally in his element. I'm no slouch when it comes to submissions, but I'm more of a well-rounded dude than a straight submissionist. I watched video tapes of my favorite technical wrestlers: Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, William Regal, etc. to get some idea of a move that Savage wouldn't see coming. I watched dozens of tapes with no ideas coming to my head. The day of the match came and I was puking my lunch.

 

Black: Talk about nervous. So, how did the match go for you?

 

D-Jack: For the most part, it was not in my favor. I have no problem admitting that Savage whopped my butt most of the match. He slapped one submission hold after submission hold after submission hold. He did standard submission holds to stuff I still don't have names for. I managed a few counter moves and some blows to the head, but I was on the defensive. He then decided to show his sadistic side that I mentioned earlier. He banged my head against the cade door until the door, and my head, busted open. I had lost alot of blood and I couldn't stand. Savage decided to put the icing on the cake. He climbed to the top of the cage with a steel chair. I found out later that he intended to do a flipping leg drop with the steel chair under his right leg onto my face. Luckily, he took too long showing off and taunting the crowd. That gave me enough time to regain my bearings. He did the leg drop that I described earlier and while he was in the air, I did a hand spring to my feet, and gave him the D-Jack Kick with the steel chair he had in his hands to his face. I am glad that I didn't kill the man, I am especially glad that I didn't end his career, and I am glad I didn't break or injure my leg or any other part of my body. All I did was give him a Grade A concussion. He was thrown for a major loop and I slapped on the Crippler Crossface. I believe it was by instinct that he tapped out. The match was over and both of us were on the floor. Neither one of us could get up. The last thing I remembered was the announcer saying "Here is your winner, by submission, and the 1st ever HVW Undisputed Champion, David Jackson!" After that, I passed out and Savage and I were wheeled off to the local hospital. I spent three days there before I was released and Savage spent a week there before he was released.

 

Black: I'm glad neither one of you were killed after what went on in that match. That match was definitely the crowning achievement of your career up to that point. Was there one title that symbolized the undisputed title or did you care all three or what? Also, he was it defended?

 

D-Jack: You could carry all three titles with you to the ring or the one title that symbolized that you were the undisputed title, it was all up to the title holder. It was defended in any way you could imagine. Just one of titles, two of the titles, or all three titles could be defended. It all depends on how the match was setup.

 

Black: I take it there was a big party during the next HVW show?

 

D-Jack: (Smiles) Oh yeah, big, big party. It was after the show and everyone in attendance was invited. There was food, drinks, good music, fans got to talk to their favorite superstars as long as they wanted, and everyone enjoyed themselves. As the party was coming to a end, Geoff Masters made an announcement that killed the party. He said "Congratulations to HVW's 1st Undisputed Champion, David Jackson!" Everyone cheered, but Geoff wasn't done. "Unfortunately, I must put a damper on this party. I am officially resigning my as owner of HVW, effective immediately, and handing over complete ownership of HVW to D-Jack, goodnight." I was beyond shocked and dumb founded. He made no hint of this nor was I given a reason why. Unfortunately, this was the 1st step to the fall of HVW.

 

Black: That sounds like another part all in itself. We shall continue later on. (Turns towards the camera) Until next time, this is Jim Black and David Jackson saying goodnight and safe journeys.
