So I have been told I need to be in town for the next PPV called Dealers' Choice. I mean is the damn show even in Atlantic City? I wish I could keep some of this crap straight but to be honest signing up for all these feds shows and trying to keep things straight has me a little ill tempered at the moment. I know that Claire Collins will have her hands full with Zybala and maybe this is where I finally push all my chips across the table and go All In. I would love to shock the world and pull off an incredible upset. The funny thing is maybe I go in Dealer's Choice with two titles BEFORE I even walk into the arena, because I am already the North Atlantic Wrestling Legacy champion and this week I have a big match in Fight-One in an open challenge for their Outlaw title, So maybe I walk into the place with the biggest fucking grin I have had on my face in a long time.
But to come out on top, to come out on top over someone that is as talented as Claire Collins I am going to need to put on a great effort. I really thought I was gonna beat Aidan Carlisle but Reed Richards had to go and get involved and that is why I did what I did. I mean people look at me and say “But if this was in NAW things would have been different you might actually grabbed the chair and blasted Carlisle with and maybe even walked out with the Internet title but you know what in Boardwalk I am trying to walk a different path. Now if Carlisle would have done something similar like that to me then all bets would have surely been off I can assure you all of that. But Aidan seems like the type of fighter that generally wouldn't do that sort of thing unless provoked so as they say “Don't poke the bear while in the cage” and even though Richards kept trying to get me to cross the line, I won't and not because I don't have the balls or the guts but doin' that sorta thing is just the easy way out and I have built a career out of short cuts and backstabbing and in Boardwalk I want the fans to see a different side of Noah Hanson. Not sayin' that I am gonna be their hero or anything like that but I just want them to see a Noah Hanson that isn't the dirty, rotten scoundrel that most people know me as. Someone that has crossed the line a few times as far as matches are concerned. I know some people look at me and remember the Hotel Match against Jackson Dre where I ended his career in Wrestling Midwest or the Slaughterhouse Match against Justin Evers where I tried to cut the man from chin to balls and wanted to jump rope with his intestines. See that is the man I am trying to outrun, a legacy that has made me looked at as someone that is nearly psychotic and who knows maybe they are right. Maybe I am little bit North of normal but this business has put me through the ringer for over sixteen years and people unless they have been where I have been and been through what I have really have no clue what I am goin' through.
Can I beat Collins? That is a great fuckin' question and I will say this I am gonna throw everything I can at the woman and see how things pan out. I mean this is a match where I need to put everything out there, throw caution to the wind and just see if the old man as Anthony Caffrey put can together another great match and walk out with possibly three titles. I mean I have already been praised by the Wrestling Guys Podcast for everything I have been doin' since I left High Octane Wrestling. I never would have thought I wouldn't fit in a fed, I would have thought that talent and dedication would be enough for just about any owner. I may not have been someone like Jason Parker Davidson and his cunt of a wife and at the time were sucking the life juice right off of Lee's ballsack. I mean it fuckin' had to have been crowded under that desk back then. With the Davidsons, Farthington and his piece of shit son Michelle all under that desk I would have thought that Lee would have at least the brains to use some sort of numbering system you know “Serving Number Five” something along those lines. I just never got it, I was loyal to the man, did everything I was ever asked and even changed the way I wrestled because it wasn't good enough for the staff of HOW. And that was a mistake, I should have never changed how I do things, certainly not to please someone that never gave a shit about me. See that is why I have tried to not talk about HOW because that whole year rubs me the wrong way, I have never liked politics, never been a fan of the way some fedheads do shit like that, it's a betrayal of sorts to the ones that are busting their asses day in and day.
See the thing is that some people have said it to me while I am on Twitter and warn me that Pettis and his staff will do me the same way Lee did me. And to be honest I wondered that a little when I kept having Richards kick that damn chair at my feet nearly beggin' me to hit Carlisle with it and it was like I broke his fuckin' back because I wouldn’t. Don't look at it as a sign of weakness or that I might not be willing to break a rule because I can AND will if I have to and to be completely honest I don't WANT to. Collins to this point has earned my respect the same way Carlisle did during our match. I mean did I want to? There was a part of me that was screaming at me “NOAH HIT HER WITH IT! BREAK HER WITH IT!” But I had to fight the urges, I had to quit listening to the voice in my head that sounded like he was disappointed in me that I wouldn't do it. He calls me a hypocrite because I have made a career out of ending careers, breaking bones and taking titles and as the voice put it “I looked at a pair of tits and a nice ass and all of sudden you forget what the hell you are supposed to be doin'...”
And sometimes it is hard to fight the voice in my head because it has led me down paths that I have regretted goin' down later. I cut the brake line once to try and end a man from taking what was mine. And the thing is I did it with a smile on my face, I liked it back then and the fact is I have had to live with everything that I did back then. During the Prison Yard match in HOW I thought I was goin' to finally have the whole thing ended, I thought Chris Kostoff was goin' to finally do what so many have tried to do. See I just want all the pain to go away, I want to just sleep so soundly one day and that is something I look forward to. Collins and Zybala won't be able to end me, they don't have it in their soul to be that cold hearted and dead to everyone around them to cut my soul from my body but I can assure you of this I am goin' to throw everything I can at them. Do I know why I am being given my shot now, maybe they realized that Collins is starting to line up challengers like firewood stacked up out behind the house after a while it starts getting to a point to where you just have to have a fire just to get rid of the over abundance of wood. That is the only thing I can figure out as far as why I was sent a ticket and told to keep a low profile and not to be seen out in public a whole while the show is coming together. I guess they don't want either of them to know and to be honest that is fine with me should give me a little bit of a tactical advantage. But the more I look over everything that Claire has done and how she has run through so many talented stars and hell she even listed them for me so I really don't need to copy and paste the damn list here but to see who she has beaten in recent months would make most people re-think why they are doin' all of this and maybe just NOT do this match all together but there is gonna be a match where my best squeezes out just enough luck to slip past someone. I didn't have enough mojo to get over the fact that Richards was a douchebag and just couldn't let me win the match MY way but this match is different, this match is where there is no real reason for anyone to get involved the match has two tag team partners fighting for a title and then I get to swoop in like a vulture and pick up the scraps that are left for me. Some would call that an opportunist and I would have to agree but this is something I have no control over. I didn't book the match, I wasn't the one who paid for the tickets or for the airfair. Not that I needed airfair but the Boardwalk staff was adamant that about being low key on my arrival and stay in town. I guess they look at my personal jet as a big neon green flashing sign advertising my arrival in town. So yeah bein' in town is on the down low just sitting in my hotel, ordering room service and ordering some sketchy porn off the cable they have here and lets be honest I hope Pettis puts me up somewhere a little more upscale next time. I know this is supposed to shock everyone but this is like bein' at Motel 8, not exactly a top line place to stay a few nights.
I love that the Wrestling Guys are finally giving me the recognition that I never got in HOW. They see what I have done and am capable of doin' and know that I am on a roll. A roll that started in NAW, continued (hopefully) in Fight-One and then will (hopefully) continue in Boardwalk. One thing that most will point out is my spotty record against the top ladies and men in Boardwalk. I was able to beat Noelle Shelly, Sativa and Jan Van Der Roost but have lost to Synnum De La Cruz, Aidan Carlisle and even to John fuckin' Pariah so my success rate here in Boardwalk is probably just as confusing to some of the people that walk Boardwalk regularly as it is to me. One thing I will say is that beating Roost was a real game changer for me because it showed me that I can come out on top against someone that I really had no time to research and that is exactly what is going to happen when I get my Casino title match. I could be facing either one of them but I have only had limited experience against either one, Collins less then Mike. The last time I met Mike in the ring Ash Scion was winning her now defunct belt so I really have no idea what to say as far as if I have any sort of advantage against either one. One thing I do no is that the fans are in for a hell of a match. They are gonna have two great fighters that are gonna have a match that will tear the house down and then I get the threat of trying to raise the stakes. Some will it might be a miracle if I win the belt and I would look at those people and say this...
“Sometimes a miracle is something that seems impossible but happens anyway...”
That is why I live my life by two words fate and destiny...
Fate has led me to this point and time and destiny will guide me down the correct path, the path that is the best one for me. So for Mike and Collins no cute little one liners, no puns just you two knowing that there is another fight coming for you...you've been warned...

Noah is shown standing in front of this sorta run down hotel, he takes a few steps back and looks around, a little confused as Cassandra walks up next to him and puts her bags down and looks at Noah.
“You have got to be kiddin' me?” Noah complained.
Cassandra shook her head and handed Noah the key and actual key, Noah looks at the key in his hand and then looks even more confused then he was a few moments ago and looks at Cassandra again and then again at the door. “You're kiddin' right? Pettis has to be playin' some sort of joke on me right? Is Ashton Kutcher hiding some where and he is gonna Punk me or is this some sort of 'Candid Camera' reboot?”
“Candid Camera?” Cassandra asked looking even more confused then Noah at the mention of the show.
Noah sighed and rolled his eyes as he walked up to the door and put his key in the lock and turned it and tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. He turned to Cassandra who was still confused about the Candid Camera thing and then looked at the door and rolled her eyes and grabbed the knob and pushed the door open, it creaked open with a sound like a murderer was waiting just behind the door. Noah bunched his forehead up as he was irritated that the door opened for her and not him. “Are you gonna go in or are you waiting for the rest of Mystery Inc to show up and solve story in under a half hour.”
Noah glared at Cassandra and then leaned down and grabbed his things and walked in and then he actually peers around the door to make sure there is not anyone behind it. “Wuh good thing there wasn't anything back there.”
“Hey Shaggy when you get back from Hanna Barbara land can we discuss a few things?” Cassandra asked as she set up the laptop and fired it up and then plugged her cellphone charger in. “Why do you think they are giving you your title match now I mean they could save you for just about anytime they want and they are doin' it now? Doesn't it sound hinkey to you?”
“Hinkey?” Noah asked as he looked at Cassandra. “You been watchin' NCIS again?”
“Well of course but I was hopin' you'd have at least gotten a call from Michael Weatherly since you guys are kinda tight, thought maybe he would give you a shot on his new show.” Cassandra replied as she scrolled through her cell phone.
“I wasn't close to him, I just did some stunk work on NCIS and we chatted for a bit, great guy he deserves the chance to shine on his own show.” Noah explained. But I really need to concentrate on what is goin' on this week, Zybala and Collins are gonna put on a hell of a show and I need to decide how I am gonna play this. Do I go down there, run down to the ring and try to get it done and over with as quickly as possible, try to capitalize on the fact that those beat the shit out of each other and I can come in and maybe pick up a quick win AND a belt to boot. Or do you play the card that you have played for the last few months in Boardwalk? Do you possibly give the winner a little bit of time to collect their senses so that you can do the right thing.”
“Doin' the right thing isn't always the fun thing you know?” Noah barked.
“But it builds trust and respect not just with the fans but with talent backstage they will see that you are not a piece of shit like a lot of people have called you in the past. You earned your ruthless reputation back then and you have really worked hard to change that perception well outside of NAW that is, you openly embrace the douchebag side of your personality over there. But here in Boardwalk it's almost like you are bi-polar or something or maybe a switch is turned off and on when get into a certain zip code.”
Noah smiled. “It's nothing like that back in the old days it was common for a wrestler to be loved and adored in one part of the country and hated to the core in another part. I have always said I am a bit old school anyway and besides Collins and Zybala have earned the chance to have me stand there and give them a breather or maybe they haven't. Maybe I need to be cutthroat and devious...?”
“You have worked hard in Boardwalk, the fans were eating out of your hand like pigeons in the match against Carlisle. They acted like you were the Pope or something for what you did. You might not be playing the fans here in Boardwalk but you could if you wanted you could go down to that ring right after the match and just destroy the other and DEMAND your match starts NOW....” Cassandra explained a sinister smile appearing.
“....or I could come to the ring and just explain to the winner that I am willing to give them a few moments to collect themselves.” Noah continued a slight smirk appearing on his face.
Noah reached into his pocket and pulled out a fifty cent piece. “Heads I give them some time to collect themselves and tails I just run over them and try to end it quick.” Noah flipped it into the air and watched it tumble and then as it dropped he extended his hand, caught it and then flipped it and put on the top of his other hand and then let Cassandra sneak a peak at it and then looked at the camera and smiled. “Everyone will have to wait and see how this ends...”
