As the cameras open up inside of a very quiet room, we immediately see a large, muscular man standing in front of a mirror. Removing his tie, followed by his jacket, Stevenson tosses them onto his bed as his bare body is revealed and the one thing you can see is the many scars that are littered along his torso.
“So this is the road we are going to take, is that it Sarah?”
With his deep toned voice echoing throughout the room, he nods his head.
“Fair enough! However, I can't say that I am really all that surprised because if there's one thing I have noticed about the lot of you young people, it's that you have never been great at forming opinions for yourselves. You talk about riding the flames which sounds fantastic on camera but the one thing you leave out is, you only ride the flames everyone else creates for you, you don't create the flames yourself.
See, I half expected for you to throw out some sort of false face joke because that's all you have: cheap insults. But I’ll tell you what Sarah, since your entire argument seems to be on the fact that I am fake, a fraud, let's talk person to person.
Now you see Sarah, I could stand here and throw the book at you, I could stand here and run you down for everyone to hear but do you know why I don't do that? Because it would make me look bad in doing so. Now I know what you're thinking, what in the hell is he talking about? Well you see Sarah, even though you don't care what happens to your fellow man in this industry -- I do and so you predicted me right on one thing, I’m not going to crap all over you because I do see you as a very talented woman, as a legit threat, but that doesn't change the fact that I am going to beat you as well.”
Flashing a quick smirk, he immediately continues.
“Yes, I know, all I am doing is pulling things out of my ass according to you, I get it and I’m not going to attempt to change your mind on that because it would be pointless for me to do so.
Since we are speaking person to person however, I like how you talk about Ana and how she can see past my bullshit, how she can see past my façade but the only problem is, there is no façade that I am putting on. When I decided to sign for this company? I didn't ask for anything, I didn't demand anything and do you want to know why? Because I wanted to start from the bottom and work my way up, I wanted to sit back, look at all of you and watch the best competition in the world come at me and that is exactly what I am getting, the best competition.
But I get it, you don't want to give me any credit, even though I deserve more than you think. That's fine Sarah because at the end of the day? Every word that comes out of your mouth that you see as scathing, I see as hurting yourself. Yes, you don't believe that there is a possibility that you could lose to me, I mean, like you said, I am absolutely nothing in this business: isn't that what you said? Well if that is true Sarah then why did Ana sign me? If that's true then why did she book us against one another, huh? You see, while I don't deny that you are good; the one thing you're not is the measuring stick around here so don't try to pretend like you are.
As of right now Sarah? We are considered equals on the FAW marquee and you don't have to like it but that's exactly what it is. So as you preach to everyone how I am such a fake, well, all of these scars littered across my body tell a different story, they tell my eleven year journey through this crazy industry and you can believe whatever you want but I will leave you with this: how are you going to explain to everyone that you lost to a man you consider to be nothing in this industry?”
Smirk, wink and fade.
