We're shown a professional looking stage with an American style podium. On that podium is the regular run of the mill skinny microphone but the face plate shown on the podium is a mixture of a Championship belt, the UCI logo with the American Flag behind it. The crowd of screaming five hundred Chicago-natives are holding their "JACKSON 2016" signs and cheering pretty loudly. A voice over in the small amphitheater announces that celebrity and worldly Hip Hop performer and Rapper Lupe Fiasco is to take the stage. Lupe comes out from behind the curtain and stands at the podium as the crowd cheers for their local native.
Lupe Fiasco: We are fighting the good fight!
Crowd applause.
Lupe Fiasco: I know first hand when you're against all odds and you're counted out of the fight! I know when you have no chance that you have to keep working, keep grinding, and keep fighting to rise above the doubters and hate and take the top spot that is rightfully ours. I've done it my entire career and that's why I support World Champion Candidate Chase Jackson. That's why we all support him! This is our fight, and in 2016, Chase Jackson WILL BE UCI World Champion!
Crowd applause/going crazy.
Lupe Fiasco: So without wasting any more time let me introduce to you the NEXT UCI World Champion.. YOUR home grown Candidate.. CHASE JACKSON!
CJ3's music hits as the crowd goes ape shit-insane and Chase Jackson steps from behind the curtain and embraces Lupe. As if this is some sort of Presidential-elect campaign, Chase takes to the podium to greet his fan-base and voters.
Chase Jackson: Thank you, Chicago. Thank you, Lupe Fiasco, and thank you UCI.
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: When we started this campaign six weeks ago, we started off as underdogs with almost no chance to win in a world where the best Wrestlers from around the world are meeting for combat on a weekly basis in UCI. We were 2 points behind fellow campaigner Andre Holmes and we were looking in from the outside. That didn't stop us from putting our feet on the ground running, pushing our sleeves up and putting are hands to the grindstone to hustle, grind and work our way into this World Championship match. Thank you to Sanchez for bowing out of this match we are now officially in and it is thanks to you!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: Of the last several matches, I'll tell you honestly it wasn't what we were looking for. Did we win? No. Did we lose? No and that's where we keep finding opportunity to fight and fight until our voice is heard and we are standing tall with the World Championship around our waist!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: In the last three weeks we have gained almost 500% more followers and fans than we had when we began this campaign when UCI opened. We are doing the right thing and we are fighting the good fight!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: The reason this campaign is working is because of people like you. You remind me of why I do this every day. I train harder than any of these other wrestlers and I'm reminded of it every day when I see you working hard at your job. Those who flip burgers at fast food chains working maximum hours for minimum pay. To those of you who shape our young minds in our community pushing our future neighborhood leaders to their max potential. To those who sit in an office chair behind a cubicle wishing you could rewind your life and go back to your young 20's but can't because of lingering injuries and the fact that there isn't a time machine in which we can rewind your life, I do this for you. I see your faces every day while running through town or on my way to Overload every Sunday evening and I am driven off your energy and attitude. It is because of you that WE are successful and we will fight on Election Day for the UCI World Championship!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: This campaign is aimed at ending the old school mentality that the World Champion does not fight every week. The mentality of the World Champion taking time off and phoning it in frustrates me and I know it frustrates you and that's why we must..
Crowd: FIGHT! THE GOOD FIGHT!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: That's why you did your part and we were voted into this World Championship match and now we must march to the top of the mountain on Sunday at Overload and win like I know we can!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: I have raised questions in the past of Jay Omega and you all know this.
Crowd boos at Omegas name.
Chase Jackson: Listen, listen.
Crowd comes back to listening and not reacting.
Chase Jackson: Jay Omega is a worldly competitor and there is no short-changing him. That's not what this campaign is about. However, I do ask what he spends so much time during the week doing for our community. I do not believe Omega is the face of UCI. I do not believe that Omega can carry the company and you to the promise land. When I think of past World Champions, I do think of Jay Omega but the old school mentality has to end!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: Jay Omega benefited in the past in World Championship matches because elections and campaigns were bought and paid for by promoters and companies! Not us! We fight the good fight! How long has Omega been doing this? Twenty? Twenty five years? I don't think he's unqualified to be World Champion but I do think I'm better for the job. We don't need our community's UCI led by old fossils and old-school mentalities! We need to continue to be refreshing and push the bar and evolve with society. This is why this campaign has been successful and we'll never turn our back on what has brought us to the big dance!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: We're fighting the good fight and that's what we'll do on Sunday at Overload.
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: Let's talk about the undeserving.
Crowd "oooohh's"
Chase Jackson: Hey, this is real. Let's get real. Polar Phantasm, in my opinion, is undeserving of this match and you know it!
Crowd half applause, half boos.
Chase Jackson: I don't run a smear campaign but one has to question why Polar was voted into this match up to begin with.
Crowd laughs with Chase who is channeling his inner-Marco Rubio all of a sudden. That charming but political smile/laugh and humor.
Chase Jackson: Come on. I took the World Champion to the limits and if Bonnie stayed out of my way, I could have finished the World Champion off and shown the polls that I belonged to be voted #1 contender solely. However, because of Bonnie's mistake, Polar was given a chance to be voted into this match and I believe that is because they are in a super-pack. This super-pack of Polar, Omega and Bonnie are pulling the strings and manipulating our community and UCI to their favor and I'm here to put a stop to it. This is one of the struggles that I want to end. This is the old school mentality that we must put to an end. Polar is given a chance at this match because Bonnie messed it up for us and now look, the super-pack has two candidates in this World Championship match on Sunday at Overload. Super-pack no more, we will end this on Sunday!
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: Our campaign draws a lot of comparisons to that of Andre Holmes but I assure you we are far more different than we are the same.
Crowd has mixed reaction again.
Chase Jackson: I understand that Andre has fans and he was voted into this match at Overload on Sunday the right way but let me remind you this is a man who likes to strike back when the chips are down with a relentless attitude and sadistic behavior. None of which qualify you to be World Champion if you ask me. I ask you where is Andre Holmes when your kids are sick and you can't take a day off from work, who is fighting in the ring with the energy of a million hardworking Chicago citizens? Me, not Andre Holmes. Who is gaining more momentum and continuing to break up these super-packs? Who is taking the World Champion to his absolute maximum limits? Not Andre, but it is us! We're fighting the good fight, and Andre likes to think he is the best person for the job but when it's push-come-to-shove, Holmes likes to shove and then shove again and that's too aggressive. When columnists and media have brought up the idea of these super-packs, Andre didn't have any comments and believes they don't exist. I don't think the future of UCI should rest on the shoulders of a small man with an anger problem who gets a tad bit too crazy.
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: And that leaves me with World Champion Crow McMorris.
Crowd has mixed reactions again.
Chase Jackson: Crow McMorris is a good World Champion, let that go on record. I believe Crow is a good World Champion for UCI.
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: I think I will be a great World Champion for UCI and that's where I draw the line and that's the difference between Crow and myself. If you look at past results, you will notice that while I lost to Jay Omega, I bounced back weeks later and took World Champion Crow to his limits. I pushed the bar and will continue to push the bar because that's what a GREAT World Champion does.
Crowd applause.
Chase Jackson: I don't see Crow supporting UCI outside of Overloads. I don't see Crow campaigning to make Chicago a better community, and I don't see Crow fighting for you. I'm here. I'm fighting for Chicago. I'm fighting for UCI to be the best possible wrestling promotion this world has ever seen and that's why I'm fighting-
Crowd: THE GOOD FIGHT!
Chase Jackson: So we continue to march! We continue to push the bar! We hustle and muscle in restaurants, in schools, in the industrial plants that make this city great, and it's because of people like you who have voted for me to be in this position and that's why on Sunday at Overload I'll become World Champion and we will all embrace the baby face! We must end super-packs, we must show the real colors of Andre Holme's skin, and we know that Crow hasn't defeated me straight up and that's why we're dangerous. That is why they try to keep us down, this is why the odds are always against us, and after this Sunday the underdog will finally become the big dog and that is because of you!
Crowd goes crazy.
Chase Jackson: We fight the good fight. Thank you, Chicago, see you at Overload on Sunday!
American music plays as the scene fades out.
Lupe Fiasco: We are fighting the good fight!
Crowd applause.
Lupe Fiasco: I know first hand when you're against all odds and you're counted out of the fight! I know when you have no chance that you have to keep working, keep grinding, and keep fighting to rise above the doubters and hate and take the top spot that is rightfully ours. I've done it my entire career and that's why I support World Champion Candidate Chase Jackson. That's why we all support him! This is our fight, and in 2016, Chase Jackson WILL BE UCI World Champion!
