“The Principle of Priority states (a) you must know the difference between what is urgent and what is important, and (b) you must do what’s important first.”

The question in THIS case is a bit more muddled than that.
What if both issues in question are important, but for different reasons?
#1: The looming contest with Andy D at Trauma 199 and then, after that ... a World Championship match with Phinehas Grimm at Deadly Intentions. By Murdoc’s thinking, Andy D is a non-issue for some very simple yet telling facts. First of those, two weeks ago ... it was Michael Wryght. Last week, Justin Kaard. World Champions. All of them falling beneath his boot. An amazing all around competitor in Wryght ... an adrenaline junkie in Justin Kaard. What does Andy D bring that either of these men does not possess?
The Andy D match is little more than garnish before the main course, the TRUE meat and potatoes, in Phinehas Grimm. One would argue looking past Andy D as a HUGE mistake in Murdoc’s thinking. But realistically, who can really blame him? Andy’s return on the same show as his own was ... lackluster to say the least. His current stint as an active competitor has been less than impressive. The spark, the FIRE, that Andy D possess is muted and dim these days.
Murdoc’s current run has been nothing short of impressive. Dominant. As always. It can be reliably stated, that unless the fear of Murdoc has invaded his soul and spurred a complete turnaround ... Andy D will fall and it will be just another footnote in his story.
And what of Grimm?
... we get ahead of ourselves.
The Order keeps track of ALL things, and this is no different. Without proper investigation and study, we can only speculate as to his mental trappings. A popular theory holds that perhaps Grimm is being saved by the Chosen Seeker, as that last SHOVE into immortality. We refuse to offer in-depth comment on pure speculation at this point, merely the facts as presented.
Issue #2: The birth of the Heiress. The House of Murdoc is in its’ final stages of preparation for the arrival of a daughter. Aveira has been keen to remain OUT of the public eye whilst expecting. Most would agree this a responsible choice. However, Murdoc’s actions over the past few weeks have shown a certain .. manic ... disposition. One week, the Seeker is hellbent on finally capturing the one Pure Class Wrestling accolade he has so long sought in the World Championship. The next week, he is more interested in his domestic happenings.
The man is conflicted, flighty and highly volatile.
I believe we may be able to use that against him.
A man who is so torn between two ideals held so highly in regard can be easily controlled, like a piece of paper. Fold him, wrinkle him ... his structural integrity becomes compromised and more easily susceptible to further manipulation. He is confused, he is acting on two separate instincts that are competing for control. While easily manipulated, one must consider the inherent dangers in such behavior.
Murdoc has shown, repeatedly, a high level of unpredictability and violence. Adding confusion, strife both internal and external, -will- lead to a culmination of anger and explosiveness. If he should complete his task of capturing the World Championship, it is quite certain to say that his demeanor will drastically change. And thus, the loss of our window of opportunity. We must act, and soon, if we hope to further the agenda as set forth (see: Document 3D-725) in regards to Murdoc.
If he should fail come Deadly Intentions, then there will be an ... incident. There is no other way to state this, other than absolute certainty. Murdoc WILL, in effect, become a raging supernova and burn out right there at the Pure Class Arena the night of the pay-per-view. It can be speculated that Murdoc will take someone with him. And that will be the last of Murdoc in Pure Class Wrestling and we will be able to fully utilize his knowledge and power.
For good.
It is, therefore, in our best interests ... to ensure that Murdoc FAILS at Deadly Intentions. Murdoc must not walk out of Deadly Intentions with the World Championship. We are recommending the enactment of Order #82 in regards to Murdoc and are awaiting your final approval on the matter. Should you need to reach our office, the department liaison can be reached at {REDACTED}.
Thank you for your cooperation in the matter.
