((OOC: Making a note here that this is starting AFTER my backstage scene in my RP, just so no one gets confused or wonders why there are two different moods in such a short time period.))

As Silver watches the limousine escorting Domenic Mazzio and Aubree Celeste pull away from the arena, he adjusts the EHWF Championsip onto his shoulder once before before turning and heading back inside the arena. He makes his way back towards the locker room to find it empty. Shrugging to himself, he walks over to his gym bag, and pulls out his street clothes. He takes a seat on one of the chairs in the locker room and lays the EHWF Championship on top of his gym bag before beginning to unlace his boots. He slides his boots off and begins pulling off his knee pads when a noise in the doorway catches his attention.

Silver Kazama
"Oh...it's you. What's up?"

"Chiefin Keef"

In the doorway stood Scott Wilson. He still had his wrestling gear on from his tag match earlier. He leans in the doorway scratches the back of his neck.

"Hey what's up Silver? Just walkin on through and wanted to congratulate you on the title victory. As long as TQ Smooth isn't holding the title, then we are all good."

Scott stands up straight and walks closer into the room.

"So, now what are you gonna do? Now that you are practically carrying the company? What will Silver Kazama do now that he is the face of EHWF...?"

He prolonged the ending, making it sound like a question to be answered.

Silver stares at Scott for a moment with a small grin on his face. He stands up and runs a hand through his hair as he lets out a small sigh.

Silver Kazama
"Thanks man, I really appreciate it."

He turns his back to Scott for a moment and pulls a pair of baggy workout pants on over his wrestling trunks. He pulls his shirt off and replaces it with a clean one before turning back around to face Scott.

Silver Kazama
"I don't know about all of that, Scott. I'm just another wrestler who gets to sit on top of the mountain for as long as I can. I don't consider myself the face of the company, and I certainly don't think I'm carrying this company. There's loads of good talent here. Domenic, Blaise, Wilmer, Jackson, Bill, Cody, Ryan, Venus, you, and even TQ. You're all great talent that helps make this company the battleground that it is."

Silver smiles at Scott as he grabs the EHWF Championship off of the top of his bag and replaces it on his shoulder.

Silver Kazama
"But you can bet your ass that I am going to take on anyone who wants a shot at this Championship Belt. I won't hide. I won't complain. I won't try to weasel my way out. I will be a fighting Champion. I will bring all of my honor and pride to the EHWF Championship, just like I do with anything else."

Thought He Was

---

"Pride and Honor; two words that seemingly have no meaning in this company. In the age where if you are close enough friends with the Boss, you are in with the Corporate Powers. You get free shot after free shot. And usually no one wants to be the odd person out and claim that they will do something unprecedented in their run as champ."

Scott paused dramatically.

"But you are different. I can't put my finger on it. When you and I faced off last week, it was without a doubt one of my toughest challenges in EHWF. I see you going places, Silver."

A smile graces Silver's features as he listens to Scott's words.

Silver Kazama
"Pride and Honor; words that I live by. They are words that were drilled into me from a young age, thanks to my brother. It's because of him that I am where I am today."

Silver walks towards Scott and claps a hand on his shoulder.

Silver Kazama
"The feeling is mutual, Scott. You are one of EHWF's toughest competitors. It was a privilege to face you last week. And as for me being different...I am."

The smile slides off Silver's face, his eyes turning distant for a moment.

Silver Kazama
"These people need to know that there is someone out there who isn't afraid of change. Someone who, unlike a few select others, has the nerve to stand against the machine. I'm that someone. Tonight, The Corporate Powers' worst nightmare has been made a reality. I am the EHWF Mayhem Champion, and there is nothing that they can do to stop me."

Play For Keeps

---

"I appreciate it. I'll be quite honest with you, Silver... When I was at home, sulking after my loss to Black Man at WAR, I saw you debut. And I personally didn't believe that you had what it took to be here now. A few months ago, I would have never been able to picture you holding the EHWF Mayhem Championship..."

Another pause. Scott looked at Silver.

"I am glad that you are stepping your game up. Not many others around here are willing to do the same. I commend you on all of your decisions; from wanting to be a fighting champion to wanting to stand out among the rest of the roster."

Silver Kazama
"It's funny. A lot of people didn't think much of me when I debuted. Hell, I didn't think much of myself. But, in my second week here I won the Hardcore Championship. Yes, I was skyrocketed to success. It went to my head. I was a mental wreck going into Last Rites, and I paid for it by losing to Blaise. My first Championship reign in EHWF tarnished by arrogance and emotional turmoil."

A ghost of a smile graces Silver's features.

Silver Kazama
"And yet, here I am, a changed man. Here I am as EHWF Champion. But people still do not believe in the change in me. The only thing I can do now is keep trying to one up myself and my expectations. I have to keep being the best that I can be. It's the only way I'll have a Championship Reign worth anything. And this...This Means Something."
