Unbelievable!
Sunday night, August 3rd, 2008, mark it down ladies and gents: yours truly steps into the ring to defend his AWG World Title for the very first time. Guess what else is cool? It's going to be in Hollywood--where all the major film and political personalities are coming to showcase their causes. So, what cause am I fighting for? Not only am I your AWG World Champion, I'm also responsible for championing the cause of justice--as only yours truly can do!

In sports, a champion is the athlete or team in first place at the end of a season of organized competition (and, if applicable, any associated playoffs). It is for this reason that such competitions are often called championships. It is also possible to champion a cause. The career of consumer's advocate Ralph Nader, who has made himself a champion for the causes of safety and environmental standards, is a good example of this. In an ideological sense, encompassing religion, a champion may be an evangelist, a visionary advocate who clears the field for the triumph of the idea. Or the champion may merely make a strong case for a new corporate division to a resistant board of directors. Such a champion may take on responsibility for publicizing the project and garnering funding. Such a champion is beyond a simple promoter.

So who, or what, am I fighting for? Salma Hayek? Jessica Biel? Naomi Watts? Manny Ramirez? Drew Carey? Hell no--I fight for me--and money! This Sunday Piercy, your distractions will be your weakness, and in the end--your winning streak against me will be flushed completely down the toilet, and you'll just be another memory in the long and storied career of Jack Gaither. Piercy, you will never, EVER, beat me unless you quit being distracted by Ms. Biel or that muscle-bound goon named Jackboot; your little distractions at Jackboot's film premiere shall prove to be your downfall.

Distraction is the diversion of attention of an individual or group from the chosen object of attention onto the source of distraction. Distraction is caused by one of the following: lack of ability to pay attention; lack of interest in the object of attention; greater interest in something other than the object of attention; or the great intensity, novelty or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention. Distractions come from both external sources (physical stimuli through the five senses), or internal sources (thought, emotion, fantasies, physical urges). Divided attention, as in multi-tasking could also be considered as distraction in situations requiring full attention on a single object (e.g., sports, academic tests, performance). Distraction is a major cause of procrastination.

Hollywood is a very tempting place for a fellow warrior like yourself to lose focus on what lies ahead. When I sit there and gaze into my ever-so-famous crystal ball, it should tell you something: that I will knock you all over the Staples Center and retain my title, and after that, I'm going to earn myself a big fat check and throw the party of the century.

*It is a gorgeous Wednesday night in downtown Los Angeles; Jack Gaither and Samantha are in their hotel room at the Westin Bonaventure watching the Dodgers game on TV.*
Do you believe this: the Dodgers got Manny Ramirez from Boston.
SAM: I heard about that; that guy's a clown for wanting to leave the Red Sox in the first place.
Tell me about it; I mean, if Manny don't show loyalty to his team by demanding a trade, what does that say about Piercy's chances of beating me?
He can't--simply because he ain't loyal to our cause--the cause of justice and paychecks!
That's right honey: Piercy is no Patriot, and we shall act swiftly to those who go against our ideals: ideals of victory and dollar signs.
That's right, and once you finally dispatch Pierce Cavanaugh once and for all--
--I will become the greatest AWG warrior in the entire galaxy! There will be statues with my name on it, stadiums will be named after me--hell, the entire world will bow down at the feet of you, myself, and The Patriots!
*Jack and Sam clink their bottles of Budweiser together.*
May the "La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo" reign supreme this Sunday night at Immortal Conflict!
May you continue your reign as AWG World Champion.
AMEN!
*Jack changes the channel and begins to watch "Access Hollywood," and he is shocked when he hears about a new movie premiere.*
MARIA MENOUNOS: It is rockin' outside the theater here in L.A.; we're here for the world premiere of a brand-new film called "Booty Juice," directed by George Lucas and starring pro wrestler Jackboot, who is accompanied tonight by his partner, AWG's number one contender Pierce Cavanaugh...
Booty Juice!?! HAHAHAHA...what kind of a joke name is that?
I guess ol' Piercy's going overboard with it; he's definitely not a Patriot.
That's right; I heard that a lot of critics went to town on that film. I for one will not waste my time and money to go see it.
Piercy's distracted by his buddy's career, and that's what you need to know about him in order to kick his ass!
That's right; hey, I have an idea. Let's go to the theater to watch a REAL movie. Let's go see "The Dark Knight!"
*Jack and Samantha head on over to a local theater to watch "The Dark Knight," and they come out impressed.*
That was one of the most impressive movies I've witnessed in a long time!
Heath Ledger was so...creepy in the Joker role.
Yeah, he was--definitely Oscar-worthy for sure, unlike Jackboot, who shall take a Razzie with him and show it to Piercy, further proving to me that Easy Cheese, Booty Juice, and AWG title matches don't mix very well.
---------------
So Piercy, you know all about me now: I'm more focused than you, and most importantly, I'm more prepared than you. I keep my distractions in check, kick ass, and take no prisoners. It's going to be a good ole-fashioned Hollywood duel in the ring--between a distracted opponent and a more skilled champion such as myself.

As practised from the 11th to 20th centuries in Western societies, a duel is an engagement in combat between two individuals, with matched weapons in accordance with their combat doctrines. In the modern application the term is applied to air combat between fighter pilots.
The Romanticism depiction of medieval duels was based on either a pretext of defence of honor, usually accompanied by a trusted representative (who might themselves fight), often in contravention of the duelling conventions, or as a matter of challenge of the champion which developed out of the desire of one party (the challenger) to redress a perceived insult to his or his sovereign's honor. The goal of the honourable duel was often not so much to kill the opponent as to gain "satisfaction", that is, to restore one's honor by demonstrating a willingness to risk one's life for it. Duels may be distinguished from trials by combat, in that duels were not used to determine guilt or innocence, nor were they official procedures.
For the fourth time in our lives, you and I will step foot inside the ring to face one another. Three times in a row, you have beaten me, but it was all just a damn fluke--like Criminal Intent's meteoric tag-team title run. Make no mistake about Piercy--the fourth time won't be so kind to you, because at Immortal Conflict, you won't hold a candle to what I have in store for you. This Sunday night, prepare yourself for the biggest disappointment in your career, when I retain my AWG World Heavyweight Title...
...and you can bet your ass on it too. I guarantee it.
