I'm a much bigger man than people give me credit for, I lost last night but I gave it my all and left it in the ring. I happily would have shaken Jake Keeton's hand, because to be quite frank he was the better man on the night, and he was right; he wanted it more. However, I am pleased to say that my prediction came true and Stephen Kingsley never stood a chance in hell of winning.
I say I would have shaken Jake's hand, but I was never given a chance. Criminal Intent figured that they could piggy back on the fame that InFamous has collected to try and make a name for themselves in this new company, to try and step out of the ridiculous shadows they put themselves in back in nCw and catapult themselves into the limelight.
Seems like it backfired boys, because whilst you did get a match, a tag team title match (as your first match...yeah, that's fair!) but it's going to be one hell of a chaotic mess, bodies will be flying everywhere, blood, guts, maybe even some vomit. Every single team in this match has nothing to lose, and everything to gain......
I guess I owe you guys some thanks for forcing Bo's hand.....but it isn’t the match either of us wanted. There are five teams in this, and only one I haven’t come across myself and that’s the Naturals. The big guns, some might say. Oh don’t worry, I’ll do my best to ensure I sacrifice the rest of you to the Naturals to keep them busy, but we have the chance to truly steal the show. Has any other match got so much talent involved? Perhaps the battle royal, but we have something extra.....tables.....ladders.....and chairs...
Oh my.
That’s not a George Takai “oh my” by the way.
Think is though, there are some competitors in this match that I respect, some who have a bright future in IWF, who can go pretty far. The sad thing is your timing is just off, InFamous have a point to prove, we have a name to live up to. We’ve spouted about what we’ve done here, and what we’ve done there, and now it is time for us to actually show you, it is time for us to deliver and live up to our word, and trust me when I say this.
We’ve got one hell of a show lined up for you.
~~~
The sound of the crowd roaring and cheering follows me through the curtain and down the corridor. I see some of my work colleagues talking about the show, joking around, and preparing for their own matches. My head is throbbing a little after that brutal attack from Criminal Intent after putting my damn heart on the line in that match. The loss stings a little, but it’s not all about winning or losing for me anymore. I get the feeling we put on a great match, and that is good enough, but Bo’s announcement.......it’s changing me.
“Man, did you see the look on them Aussie’s faces? Ha! That totally backfired!”
I can feel the excitement radiating from Rob, and I can’t bring myself to quell it. We had a feeling that a tag team championship match might be announced for Bloody Assizes, and as the only undefeated tag team we expected to be in it, but we never expected anything like this. I turn to Rob and force a smile onto my face.
“Yeah, it’s going to be absolute chaos.”
It most certainly is, and normally I’d be thrilled by that, but there is some kind of knot in my stomach and I can’t quite figure out what it is or why. I’m fairly confident that Rob and I have what it takes to me tag team champions, that we could rule this division with an iron grip and enjoy ourselves doing it, because that is the main thing for me now. I have to enjoy it, otherwise there is no point being here. However, that thirst for competition has sparked back up again, and now the gold is dangled in front of us....
“Dude, we’re so going to make amazing tag team champions. We could probably hold them forever!”
He isn’t wrong, it’s truly possible. I’ve seen people hold championships for lengthy times despite the calibre of their competition, like Roberto did. As we approach my locker room I feel almost like some bruising developing on my right shoulder, hurts like a mother and it doesn’t make sense. I open the door and Rob is about to just walk in, like he would normally, but I put my hand on his chest.
“I gotta clean up bro, gimmie a few minutes, yeah? Maybe grab us some grub for the road?”
Rob smiles and raises his eyebrows, he’s a more kind hearted guy than people give him credit for.and I know that this tag team run we’re doing means a lot to him. I’m glad, because it’s nice to have some support instead of being against it all on my own. I mean, Ally always has my back, and vice versa, but it’s not the same with her.
“No sweat bro, I’ll be back in ten”
I flash him a smile and nod before I close the door behind myself. I hadn’t even switched the light on, but I felt the coldness of the wall on my back, the sweat is still pouring from my body from my match, the bruises and cuts will heal. It’s happened so many times, that I barely even acknowledge it anymore, I stumble through the room, my arm causing me more pain than it should be. Blindly, I move my hand across the wall and open the bathroom door, grabbing for the cable to switch the mirror light on, it flickers once.....twice...and boom. My reflection glares back at me.
‘Do I really look so angry?’
I shake it off and turn to look at my arm, the memorial tattoo I have for my parents is throbbing, itching almost. I feel my face scrunch up as I look at it, then my heart starts to pound as what seems like claws start ripping through it. My breathing increases, rapidly, short and fast. The tattoo peels open and I see a disfigured combination of a rabbits head and my fathers face. I don’t even realise what is going on before I feel the floor slam into my back, and the darkness takes over.
“Spike....Spike? …..SHIT! MIKE!! MIKE!!”
My eyes blink open and I see Rob standing above me, a look of panic on his face, I see some slushy drinks on the floor. He drops to his knees and I feel him grabbing me. I don’t remember what happened, i just have enough wits about me to grab him.
“Rob.....get my phone, I need to speak to Doctor Griffiths....”
This shouldn’t have happened, my pills were designed to stop these things happening. I need to speak to Riley because this is trouble...
~~~
My partner has been uncharacteristically quiet this week about you guys, well, I don't mean quiet, I mean he hasn't verbally raped each and every single one of you, which makes a change for Rob because it's one of his favourite past times, and I know a lot of people really don't like him, and hate it when he does it, but trust me....it's fun to watch.
Then again, if Rob isn't running around making crotch chops and dick and fart jokes it shows that he is taking this match one hundred percent seriously. I'm not going to make any lame cliches and say one hundred and ten or some crap because we all know you cannot give more than one hundred percent. My point is simple, Rob is serious about this, his head is firmly in the game and it shows that this match actually means something to him, so if the guy who is usually fun and games is firmly set on winning this match, how do you think I am going to approach it? Oh I can tell you that I’m firmly going into this match with more determination than ever before. Than when I won the XHF Rumble, than when I won the nCw World Title.....anything. You see, I’ve done it all and won it all, but like Rob said, I’ve never held the tag team championship with my best friend...
So, we’re going to do that.
Not because we are the best tag team in IWF, which....we are. Not because we have nothing else to do, which.....we kind of don’t as we’ve been excluded from all the fun and games due to our pasts that apparently don’t mean anything. No....we’re doing it simply because we want to. We enjoy what we do, we enjoy teaming together and systematically, verbally and physically destroying those who stand against us, be they a random team put together for shits and giggles, or a team with a chip off their shoulder because they know they’ll never match up to us....like Criminal Intent. We’re damn good at what we do, and none of you can deny that, we’ve taken IWF by storm and InFamous launched up the tag team rankings taking them by storm and putting us firmly head and shoulders above the rest of you all. The way I see it....
We’re the only ones who earned the right to be in this match.
As a team we’re undefeated and we’ve already come across some of you in IWF’s short and limited history, some of you we’ve come across previously, like Criminal Intent for example....when Rob and I were thrown together just as nCw was beginning to wind down, and low and behold we absolutely destroyed the pair of you. So....I’m a little confused as to why you think that you can pretend it didn’t happen and make out like we are scared of you, what do you have Alex Jones syndrome or something?
Ha ha ha, I’m so funny.
Seriously though, Criminal Intent so far have spouted crap about how everyone is scared of them and that’s why they weren’t booked....gee....I wonder if it isn’t just because you suck? I’m quite confident on that one to be honest, but you know what? It isn’t about you guys, it isn’t even about Rob and I. It’s about five teams thrown into an environment that will completely and utterly alter their minds and bodies for the rest of their careers and even their lives. Tables, ladders, and chairs....essentially means anything goes....no disqualification. Anything goes boys, and this is when we step into my world, where the God of Xtreme thrives and the rest of you will be laid to waste. I shouldn’t have to go into detail as to why, because my legacy speaks for itself. The people that I’ve come across and fought should speak for itself....take HonorBound for example, Angel and Kyle must have told you about me, they must have given you the same warnings that I gave them.
I am the most dangerous man in this business.
I’ve done a lot of things that I am not proud of, and I felt for a very long time that the suffering I’ve been through was punishment for my actions. Losing my son, losing my ex-wife....but I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t so. I’m a mean person, I thrive off of the pain of others, and I go out of my way to make sure my head is held above the rest. Some people say I have a superiority complex, I just say they are inferior. I am the most desctructive, most violent, most cunning, and most viscious man you will ever find between those ropes. So when we all stand in the ring at Bloody Assizes, think long and hard about what you can do to try and win those belts that I can’t, that Rob and I won’t do. HonorBound will give it their all, of that I have no doubt. The Naturals will try to dominate with their stength, which is always a threat. The James Gang will desperately be trying to prove themselves, which can make any man dangerous, and of course Criminal Intent will be trying to live up to their vague threats and empty promises.....us?
We’re a little different.
I will do everything within my power to make sure we win, because I want this so bad, for my own personal reasons and to give Rob something to look forward to, to dull the pain of his problems with his daughter. Why? Because he’s someone I actually care about, and if you learn anything about me this week, remember that I will do anything and everything to protect the ones I care about. I will put my body on the line, I will go above and beyond.....
I will sacrifice myself to ensure we win.
InFamous will reign supreme, and you will all.....bloody......hail!
