What's Numpty mean anyway?

The scene opens on Logan, clearly out for a run. Though at the moment he is taking a break, seated on a park bench as he takes a long drink from a water bottle. He lifts his gaze and looks into the camera.

“The more things change, the more they stay the same. I am no stranger to Osaka. I have performed here before. Truth of the matter is, one of the biggest matches of my career went down at good old Osaka Jo Hall. Me and Billy the Butcher were in a tag team tournament and eyes had been on us. It was a shot to get ourselves signed to a big name promotion.”

He takes another drink from his bottle.

“Now I’m back again. Once more for one of the biggest matches of my career. A shot at the Gladiators Championship. A chance for a title around this old waist of mine. A shot that I earned. I been fighting like hell ever since I got here. That’s the only way I know how to do it. So I don’t take too kindly to being looked down on. Or over looked like J-TV has a habit of doing.”

He shook his head.

“Oh I know that Hathoway’s been on his own tear. He’s racked up win after win. I know that. I know my record is not pristine. But I put my blood and sweat into the canvas every time I step through those ropes. I am nobody’s speed bump. I ain’t a warm up. You step into the ring with my and I am gonna teach you something new, ya can be damn sure about that. And son, you got plenty that you need to learn. I am going to look forward to slapping the taste outta your mouth. Yes, for the disrespect of course. But mostly?”

He leans towards the camera and glares down at it.

“A numpty? Not even a good all american insult? That’s just plain insulting. I’m gonna serve you a whoopin for that alone. But I also want that title you are carrying around. I need it like I need air in my lungs. To prove that I still got it. That this old dog can still hang. So I’m coming for you Hathoway, and you best come correct or else I will happily take that strap off your shoulders.”

He reaches out and the feed cuts.
