ooc note: This was done to give the handlers of NAW an idea of where my character was previous and his mindset.
It's been a few weeks since the Prison Yard match at Rumble in the Rock, I guess in some ways I have had a hard time letting things go. Now don't get me wrong I signed my name on the contract, I did that I owned up to the fact that it was my choice to put MY career on the line against a man that I had owned over the years from PWX to HOW and for me to pretty much overlook my own over confidence and to simply just believe that by showing up that it would have been more then enough to beat someone like Chris Kostoff and to be perfectly honest the weeks and months prior showed that it should have been more then enough to handle the High Octane Wrestling Hall of Famer. I mean the legend was doing nothing more then showing up and cashing checks, he wanted me to do what I did, he wanted me to sign on the line and put my career out there and I was more then willing to do and then to have Lee Best grab me backstage and do the “I want this to be EPIC” line to me and I fell for it, I never saw any of it, I let Chris throw the line and Lee reeled me in and that is still MY fault, I let it happen but then the kicker was having John FUCKING Pariah do a number on me during the match, gotta hand it to Lee he must have been laughing his ass off watching all that crap play out. I can't imagine that he actually thought it would all just fall in line like it did but that is exactly what happened, I fell for it, I was a sucker. I should have seen Lee Best for what he is...a snake charmer, a used car salesmen, a fucking door to door salesman, he put his sleazy, slippery arm around my shoulder and put the match out there, raising his arm to the sky to try and make it sound even better then it really was and again I fell for it, I wanted to make the match EPIC, I wanted to do everything Lee said he wanted to do hype the history between us, show off the history of Noah and Kostoff he said, show the matches that carved out the legacy of both men, I was prepared to do it to but Lee never went through with what he said on his part...
Am I bitter?
Some might say that the first part makes it sound like I am but in the end I just don't like being lied to, Lee laid out a plan to hype the match and in the end he never lived up to his end in the bargain and in the end it was all a ploy to get me into the match and sign it as a retirement match, see I did my part went out there and attacked Kostoff just like Lee Best wanted me to it was all part of his plan, he wanted me to do something and I fell for it and then when he got wind of John Pariah and his stinky meat fingers he decided to shove it right up my ass and that is exactly what happened, hell my head is still fuzzy after the cinder block to my head and I may never remember the match or the few days after it but that s still MY fault, I let it happen, I fell for his speech, I listened to ever word that came out of his mouth and it put me to sleep like a small baby at the end of the night and that is why things happened the way they did because of the con man that Lee Best is. See that is why John Pariah is now the General Manager as well birds of a fucking feather man, birds of a fucking feather, two men that are known for fucking self promoting, pushing their own fucking agendas and they happen to stumble into the same crappy mess it's not a coincidence people. It's like someone made a deal with a Crossroads Demon and one of the wanted to iron this deal out, I have finally been able to sit through the ppv without throwing up and that took a while but I am still in shock when I try to watch any High Octane programming and I see John Pariah as the general manager, that is just hard to stomach. The man was brought in and he attacked me, so why do that? Did Lee or anyone else for that matter view me as any sort of threat that Lee thought “Hey how bout I make a deal with the man that Noah hates more then anyone else and bring him in JUST to attack him, Zion and Hollywood, it will be FUCKING gold!” I really doubt that Lee Best said anything like that, I doubt that Lee thinks of me as anything more then fodder, I think that all he wants is to keep the PWX boys away from his titles and what better way then to fabricate this little “angle” brings in Pariah, a man for years he has mocked and ragged on at every corner just for this.
I mean if you sheep out there think that this is gonna end well...maybe I have some prime real estate in the Florida Everglades that you might be interested in. See this is just more smoke and mirrors that everyone has been fooled by the Davidsons suddenly retiring, Jatt being in the match and finally Stevens winning the title it was all part of his plan and you all fell for it a whole arena full of suckers that Lee licked until he got to the tootsie roll center. I feel sorry for all the fans that have been forced to sit around and see that Lee Best is nothing more then a snake oil salesman, he pulled the wool over everyone’s' eyes. And yet you all come back, you all get suckered into coming back to the arena like the loyal sheep you are, blind....loyal....clueless sheep being herded to the Best Arena. But that is where my sympathy stops you see you fans are pathetic, you sit there and you cheer a piece of garbage like Scott Stevens, he is nothing more then a wrestling version of Barry Bonds a cheater that used something to get an edge and when he was caught instead of banning him for life like Pete Rose they let him back in with open arms. Pathetic...the fans deserve a better class of criminal....not pieces of garbage like Scott Stevens and Jason Parker Davidson, see this was all planned and you all fell for it, your own fault to, blind as motherfucking mice and half as smart.
“But Noah you're retired why does it even matter anymore?” “Why do you care?” the fans say to me as they see me on the street. Wanna know why I care? Because unlike the clowns in this business I have a passion, for some its all about titles, the glitz and glamor of the business, for me its just about fighting, about getting the name and legacy of Noah Hanson out there a little bit more. And I thought High Octane Wrestling was the gold standard of the business, the pinnacle of being successful in the business but all that I see now when I look at HOW is that it is just as corrupt and just filthy as any other fed out there, politics....positioning....favors....handjobs for everyone that is the order of the day in High Octane Wrestling.
The thing was that while I was off injured because of what happened at Alcatraz I thought I would get some support from the management of HOW, thought they might check in on one of their supposed “own” a “good peep” as Lee has said it himself on his radio show a few times. But while I have been out recovering and finally getting medical clearance to start lifting and training again how many times did the “God of HOW” contact me? Once....one time and it was a three letter message via a text, that's fucking it so I started talking with Darin once I started feeling better, once my head was clear and I had finally moved on and wanted to get back in the business, we started working on how to get me back into the flow started training together and then told Lee that I was ready and had been training with Darin and he just bitched and complained about how “He wasn't in the loop.” but that was the whole deal he wanted Zion, Hollywood, Pariah and myself to “work our magic” as I was told, that he knew we could make gold in our angle in case the rest of Iconic didn't play out the way it was supposed to.
But see that is where you have to see Lee best for what he is a man that is afraid of outsiders outshining his friends, see he doesn't like that. The PWX crew we are still the Fisher Price group, the ones that Lee likes to joke about on his radio show but he wants to try and play on us like we are going to be important to the show but lets not kid ourselves or fool anyone else any longer you think so little of us PWX stars that you just want us to be out of the picture, that maybe the talent could beat your home grown pals, hell I have owned your World champion for months, have not lost to Scott Stevens in singles or tag matches since I came to HOW and now he is the World champion because of the fraud Lee Best perpetrated at Alcatraz, it was a scam and everyone knows it and a set up for Iconic, a set up for the World title so that Jace could get his title back and Stevens gets to look like a champ in the end.
I feel sorry for Zion he is a friend to me, has been for a long time, I want the man to be the biggest star there is but in HOW he will never be that star and as the year closes out he gets left out of the big matches, no LSD title match, no ICON title match and now because of Brian Hollywood and the fact that he turned his back on Darin there is no tag team title match either. You have Lee Best bringing back wash up has-beens like Scottywood, Austin Reeves and David Black and someone called Darkwing. I mean and you have Darin Zion and you can't find a way to get him in one of the title matches you should be ashamed of yourself, you should not even be a wrestling promoter let alone an owner of a company because opening the doors to people like that, people who abandoned you in the first place and then welcoming them back with open arms is just pathetic. And the biggest joke is letting that piece of garbage Silent Witness back, might as well let Townsend, Sektor and Farthington back in as well and that degenerate kid of yours Michelle Leanne Best.
When I signed on for the retirement part of the match, I wondered what the angle was on your side Lee, I wondered what could be going through your head but I should have never put a whole lot of thought to it. I knew you were a leech, I knew you were succubus that was just wanting to drain me of my lifeforce. And the more I have sat in my living room watching TV, looking over movie scripts and stuff I can see that you actually did me a favor and for that I guess I should thank you.
“Thank you...”
See I did it, I thanked you for releasing me...I appreciate it now, I see that it was for the better, I see that you just wanted me as a body, someone to fill a void, you knew I was loyal and would show up no matter what and I did because that is the way I was raised, even when I thought I was getting shafted I still showed up and busted my ass.
But I am healthier then I have been in years, my head is clearer and more focused then it has been in years so again...
“Thank you...”

I was sitting there in the living room watching the wind blow the trees and for some reason I am just content, just happy sitting here watching TV my body doesn't ache, my joints don't ache but I have found that I do kinda miss the routine of going to the airport and heading to a show. I mean the last show was the King of the Cage tournament and even though I lost in the second round I feel really good about it. Do I miss anything else? No...what I do miss is Darin and Brian at times, Brian less though because he has just turned his back on not just me but now Darin someone that is probably closer to him then I was and that is how he does all this.
“Brian just doesn't get it...” I said to myself and then I took a sip of my bottle of water. “Why does he have this obsession with being the best? Why does he think he needs to be at the top to be happy, shit doesn't work like that.”
“Call them.” Vixen barked.
“No.” I coldly replied as I watched her come in from the porch, carrying a plate with a couple of steaks on it, she placed the plate on the counter and smiled at me and then shook her head. “What would be the point?”
“You're their friend...” Vixen said as she grabbed a fork and slide one of the steaks on a plate and then pulled a baked potato out a pan of water and moved it towards me. “To some people a friend is something that they value and cherish.”
“Don't do that, I talk to Darin I just did a few days ago, not my fault Lee is the way he is. He wants “Magic”...” I said as I put two fingers on each hand and motioned like parenthesis. “But he wanted to be in the loop as he put it and then we are where we are. I am fine with being out of the business, I am happier then I have been in years.”
It is funny, I was incredibly happy but the funny thing the competitive fire still burns in me and that is what led me to where we are now. I was glad to be sitting there on the couch, my injuries all healed and crap but this happened....

[7:45 a.m.]
I was going through some old paperwork and signing a few things, mostly involved with the TV show 'Supernatural' which wanted me to come back to the show and continue my work on the set. But below that was an old envelope marked “ North Atlantic Wrestling” I looked at it curiously and opened it. It was an old contract offer that a while ago I had received but had put to the backburner. I looked it over and decided to call my business manager...
“Hey Johnny....Noah...” I said as I flipped through the pages of the contract. “You remember a contract offer I got from a place in Pennsylvania?”
“Yeah North Atlantic Wresting....” He replied. “ Why?”
“You think the offer is still valid?” I asked.
“How bout I call their offices and see what happens?” Johnny replied.
Well to make a long story short, the deal was still valid and I flew to Pennsylvania over the weekend and worked a deal out and I have to say Alice was VERY easy on the eyes if you know what I mean and all I am going to say that if you thought living in area was cold wait till I get on the scene because a blizzard is about to roll into town....
It's been a few weeks since the Prison Yard match at Rumble in the Rock, I guess in some ways I have had a hard time letting things go.
