[Mood: Tired]
It is going to be a long flight back from England but I have to say that I am pretty happy with the way things have turned out. My performance the last few weeks has been so much more inspired not just in NAW but in Boardwalk as well. I have busted my ass, pushed the old body harder and farther then I ever have because I want this legacy to finally be washed free of the stench of High Octane Wrestling. Some people say that I am obsessed with what happened when I worked for Lee Best but how could I not be disappointed with the way I worked while I was there. I was star struck that s for sure, I didn't do what I wanted and sure as hell didn't have fun. See I was to busy listening to the haters, the ones that claimed that I was holding my friends down, that I was the one that held Darin Zion and Brian Hollywood from becoming great but the truth is a bit different then the reality of things and the facts are this Lee Best held us all down and was NEVER going to give Noah Hanson a real chance and that is why I continue to bring it up, because I have to continue to remind myself WHY I am still doing this. I don't owe the fans a damn thing, while I admire Alice Harris and everything she has done as champion she is also a little diluted. She wants to do everything for the fans, the fans that will turn on you at the drop of a hat Alice. Remember that Alice, remember that the fans are just as batshit crazy as some of the people that you'll be in the Prison Yard match with.
I sat there trying to get settled in my chair, trying to get comfortable but it was hard, my mind was racing so I decided to turn on my video recorder on my lap top.
“Alice Harris, do yourself a real solid and do not do things for the fans. They do not deserve to have someone as devoted as you are pandering to their needs. I see a fighting soul in that cute little body, I see a spirit that will throw caution to the wind and do whatever it takes to make sure she walks out with her belt in tact. I can respect that, I can look at her and see why all of the fans admire her but in the same sense it is her biggest weakness because you either live longer to the big hero or you die failing incredibly. And Alice you are right I can and will do whatever it takes to win this match, this match is going to be nothing but pure carnage and chaos and it might not end well for you. I know you admire me but I am going to tell you this, you get a chance to take any of us out of this match for any extended amount of time you had better take that chance and do it. The fans may look at you differently but in the end YOU have to be the one that makes the hard decisions, you have to be the one that is willing to be the white light in this dark match.”
I paused briefly as I thought about how much I really did respect Alice, she has done great things with the belt, she didn't deserve to be in a match like this just simply because someone like Corey Bull came to the management with some kind of hair-brained death match. She has shown her resolve in the ring and overcame the odds, management has stacked the deck against her and it's not right. I shook my head as I was basically arguing with myself, like I was trying to talk myself out of doing what might need to be done when the moment presented itself. I nodded and sighed because I knew what was going to happen, I knew that this was going to be a match where something will happen and I will have to make a decision, one that could define my own legacy within NAW. I looked at my laptop and wondered why the management went forward with a match from someone that had walked out on NAW, said he had nothing left to prove and then went and worked for another company.
“The way I see things is like this everyone knows I am the hottest thing going in NAW, why else would they continue to book me the way they have? I will tell you why because they know that if they book me against the Horizon champion Erin I destroy her in under five minutes, I'd stake my career to that claim. I cost Bohannon that match hell if anyone deserved a shot at Erin it should have been Bohannon, the man deserved a chance to get his belt back. But yes I am aligned with Alice White but there really have not been any benefits of that alliance. I have been booked in a line of tag team matches kept far and away from the matches that I fucking earned. I beat Assassin in a non title match, a match where I decimated the man and then what happens Trenton swooped in and reaps the rewards for MY hard work. I have no idea how things are going to go, a match like this guarantees nothing. They kept me booked against Bohannon they realized just like the did when they booked me against the so called North Atlantic Wrestling Hall of Famer Trent Brown that he was simply being over matched. Hell I caused Katherine to walk away from her marriage, even though she went from one hillbilly to another hillbilly I still ended Trent in just about every way imaginable except shoot his fucking dog and steal his pick up truck with that stupid set of balls that look like a trailer hitch. That is the biggest set of balls in Trent's house by the way.”
I paused again and rubbed my hand on my chin and sighed loudly as Cassandra sat in her chair, a blanket pulled up tight around her to keep her warm.
“This is all your fault Alice White, you shouldn't have denied me what I had earned, you think that by throwing all of us in this warzone of a match that maybe things go a little more your way and that maybe Corey actually walks out with the belt, maybe Rocky runs out of luck or money and just can't bu his way into the title picture anymore. I hope that you are ready for what is coming at you Alice White, you let the freakshow back in the building, you are going to have all their blood on your hands and you will only have yourself to blame but I warned you months ago, I warned you even a few shows ago that if you didn't take my threats seriously that you would have more problems on your hands then you realize. You played a dangerous game, you tried to play me and the Agents of Chaos and now you have anarchy on your doorstep and they are knocking, can you hear them knocking they want in and they want to take everything you have. Alice White this is the mess you've made, Harris deserved the chance to end Rocky once and for all, she has earned that right but you went for the big glory grab, the big cash cow but you know what when I walk out as the Legacy champion and I bring the belt to the back covered in blood and I wipe the blood all over you and shove the title in your chest as yourself this....”Was it worth it?” think about that.”
I shook my head again just thinking about ANOTHER Prison Yard match in less then six months...
“Do I care about Rocky Hollywood and his new money and how he has seemingly seemed to be able to buy match after match after match for what seems like a long list of chances to try and take the title off of Harris. You see the thing about Rocky is that one Hollywood is no different then another, I have worked with Hollywoods in the past and they all seem to inherit infinite chances to win titles like they have a fucking cheat code and keep plugging that fucking code in to get another chance. I have never looked at Rocky as nothing more than an irritation at best, it makes my head hurt trying to figure out how the man has had as many chances at the the Legacy title as he has. It all ends in the Prison Yard for you pal, you've dropped the soap one to many times and now you have to take it in the ass just like so many others have. When I drag myself out of the match with MY title Rocky the milk runs end for you, no chances, no money to throw at me and try to buy chances. You've had enough chances and when I win the match and I finally have the belt handed to me know that if you couldn't beat Alice Harris you stand ZERO chance against me. I will rub you out like a used up cigar and then throw you in the trash like you deserve, you see I have said from day one that NAW deserves a better class of criminal and I'm a man of my word. The cash cow is going to get ground up into hamburger when you run into me. I carried you through tag match after tag match, watching as you failed time after time to put Alice away. I listened for weeks from Alice, listened to her bitch and complain how you are just a failure in your quest to take the title off Harris and I sat back with the Jasons and listened to it, listened to her barking her orders at me like I am some sort of lap dog at her beck and call. Well this match is just going to have one thing happen, I am NOBODYS lap dog, I have sat there in her office, rolling my eyes at everything that has come out of her mouth, biding my time, waiting for the chances that I EARNED and then have to watch as Rocky gets handed chance after chance. Well I am done waiting, I am done sitting there like the Joker in the beginning of the original “Batman” I am done tossing cards into a hat. Alice White sent me to the chemical factory and is hoping this match takes me out but in the end all it is going to do is make things worse for her. I have warned everyone, I warned everyone what would happen and now the darkness is coming and there is nothing any of you can do to stop it.”
I was growing irritated talking about even in a video blog, I had seen how according to whatever blag Bohannon was looking at I wasn't even looked at as a favorite to win this match and that kinda pisses me off.
“What the hell do I have to prove to the NAW fans that I am the best in this place. I see someone like James Edwards being in this match with his TEAMMATE Bohannon. I mean you have Corey Bull who came up with this mess, built in advantage, then you put two members of the same faction into the match...built in advantage it would be smart for them to work together for as long as possible to gain every advantage they possibly could. But Edwards being in this match does raise a question. Why is he in it to begin with? Has he beaten any champion in any kind of match? No...weird I have...see that is why a match is weird like that there is always going to be that one that doesn't fit and James Edwards you are it. See while Corey, Rocky, Alice, Bohannon and myself all have common denominators in this match, you simply DO NOT BELONG HERE. Now that doesn't mean you don't have skill or aren't talented because it is quite the contrary you are incredibly talented. I have watched you from the distance even went to the trouble to pay for DVDs from UWL to catch some of your work outside of NAW and you do have skill but you should have stayed away from this match. You should have just said “Pass” and walked away because you are the future of NAW but being in this match will shorten your career. My career is already at the tail end so I can do this match and not have a thing to worry about because I have already seen my future, I know my destiny is waiting for me. You...you have a group that is the future of the business, you and Tim Stone are the real diamonds in this business but don't bite on matches like this all the time.”
I take a drink of water from a half empty bottle and seem to blankly stare at it.
“I don't know why Bohannon puts so much faith into some internet blogger, someone that probably just sits in his moms basement, waiting for her to make his hot pocket and fold his laundry for him. The blogger says that Edwards could be the Wildcard in all this and he could be but one has to look at Corey Bull and wonder just what is going on. How could someone that walked away from NAW, someone that said “He had nothing left to prove here.” I mean that is what he said I saw the e-mail to Alice White, so then why is he really back? Does he see that maybe NAW was doing just fine without him, he thought maybe when he took his death metal toys and walked away that NAW would just crumble to dust? You call yourself the “Hatebringer” I can only hope that is true, I want you to bring everything you can, I want you to hit me with everything. I want to bleed, I want to feel pain, I want you to try and break me, so many have tried and failed and you will be no different. I want you to try and take my life Corey, if you are the ender of lives like so many have claimed then I will relish it in the end. You will finally free me from the darkness that slithers in the pits of my gut. But what I think is going to happen is after I have decimated Edwards, Bohannon, burned Rocky and his new money to the ground, it will be you....Alice and me and after Alice is eliminated it will come down to the Immovable Object and the Irresistible Force and make no mistake. I wandered into NAW and watched as you too did a stage left and took an exit but I have people in the business I have watched you. I know that you work in a fed called NGW and while I am a bit curious one thing that I have not heard about you is can you bleed? Some have compared you to some sort of demon, a freakshow and that is just fine with me. Color me intrigued Corey, with this match, the one that everyone said has you as the favorite is more up my alley then anyone here will ever know. I worked in a couple of feds that specialized in the “weird” and this match while it may be your baby is also going to be your undoing.”
I shook my head as I started to feel a bit light-headed.
“Bohannon, Edwards, Hollwood, the champ admittedly they are the warm up acts but you...(i said curiously tapping my fingers on the laptop and then pointing at the screen)...you Corey you are the one that will define this match. You came back here wanting to reclaim what everyone has said was “rightfully” yours but they must have been looking at something else or thinking of someone else because this is MY house now, I am the current tenant and there is no welcome mat out for you. You should not have come back or at the very least you should have earned your place like I have had to but you wouldn't back off, you couldn't stay away you had to come back and try to take MY spotlight. Well I am going to send you back to NGW in something you are very familiar with...”
I walked to the back and grabbed a body-bag and unwrapped it and tossed it on the floor and then aimed the laptop camera at it and then turned the camera back at me.
“See people have tried to end me before, the last Prison Yard match I was in the man nearly finished the job. I am like Doomsday, the same thing never works twice and I am ending your legacy here and NOW. You should have stayed gone....the fallen hero is always remembered for his valiant struggles but coming back....it never works...comic books do it all the time, Supernatural The Winchesters never stay dead but you should have stayed gone because you came in and took my spotlight and now I am gonna take something from you. I am gonna show you just how easy you can be beaten, I am gonna take “WE” away from you....”
I looked at the body-bag and smiled and I kicked at it a little...
“Corey you should have stayed gone, you should have settled on the laurels of being inducted into a Hall of Fame and just relaxed and walked away. But you have no idea what you have signed up for pal. You say you're going to hurt me, you say you might wrap barbed wire around my throat? Do it...i beg you to it...try to end me, do your very FUCKIN' best because in the end when I am covered in blood, YOUR blood and you realized that you might have made a mistake by inviting this in the first place...you and the rest of NAW will finally realize that you were never the creature in the closet they were afraid of as a a kid....it was me....”
I smile evilly at the camera.
“And each and every one of you should be afraid...”
