162 Mull Ave. Avon Lake Ohio. Noon.
JFK is standing on the road looking at a old house in Avon Lake Ohio, a small suburban city about 20 minutes west of Cleveland. It's a two story single family home with a large tree in the front yard, and a long driveway to the side of it leading to the detached garage next to the back yard. JFK is dressed in a leather jacket with a cotton hoodie, and a pair of warn jeans. He turns and faces the camera.
"That's the house I grew up in, before it all went to shit."
He motions behind him with his thumb.
"Two bedrooms upstairs, one belonged to me, the other was an office until he came around. See. I only lived in this house for a short time, about 8 years or so, and remember even less than that. But I do remember when my brother was born. I also remember when the brought him home, it didn’t seem like my parents were happy about it. So I wasn’t happy about it. As the years went on my parents would argue, more and more, and I didn’t always get the full gist of what the grownups were arguing about, but I always knew it was about my brother. I kept hearing my dad say "What do you mean you don’t think he's mine!?" and other random shit.
Then it all went to shit one night. That room right there."
He points up to the 2nd floor window facing the road.
"That was the office they converted into a nursery. That was where I first tried to kill my own flesh and blood, the first time I tried to smother my little brother with a pillow so Mom and Dad would stop fighting. It was all his fault, he was the reason they hated each other, little did I know at the time that wasn’t true, but hey. I was a kid and a troubled one at that."
He shrugs.
"So, shortly after the incident, my Dad and I moved to South Florida, and that is where I spent the rest of my youth growing up before I left his drunk ass in a hotel to join the service and never looked back."
He runs his hands over his mouth smoothing down the five o'clock shadow he has growing.
"We all have sins of our past Cable. It's how we overcome those sins and become better people that defines us. I've never spoken to you personally, but from what I can see, you're not a whole lot unlike me. You have father issues, I can tell. It's the way you talk, it's the way you handle things, it's the subtle ways you move around certain people. I know this, because I was just like you. But Cable, unlike you, I've moved past it. I've come to terms with my sins, and my past, and have vowed to be a better man that my Father ever was, to be a better man than my deadbeat overdosed brother ever could be.
I've paid the price for my sins Cable, and I've come out a better man for it. But you...you still need to be humbled, you need to be taken down a peg. You need to learn that, no matter how much you scream and yell "IM THE BEST THE IN WORLD"....it'll never be good enough for him. YOU'LL never be good enough for him."
JFK grins directly into the camera.
"But don't worry Cable, we "The Challengers", Dre, Falcon, and JFK. We will help you. We will help humble you Cable, help you learn that without your Dominatrix and backup, that you are not the best in the world, but just a man who happens to be very VERY talented in that ring, but just a man none the less, a man who can lose, a man who WILL lose.
And if you do walk out of the Extinction Event still the Imperial Champion, then all the props to you. But let’s face facts here Cable.
The odds are not looking very good in your favor. Sure, at the root of this match it really could be a "each man for his own" but that's not going to be the case Cable. See we Challengers all have the same goal.
Beat the house.
I don't care if I walk out of there with the Imperial, Man of Steel, or Invictus Championship, just as long as the house loses. How do you think you are going to fare against a team of people on the same page vs you and the man who Laura is grooming to replace you, Noah Field, and another who, come on...if Spike could tag himself in and take your title from you, you damn well know he would. And two women who despise everything you and HoH stand for. Your "team" really isn’t one."
He starts walking towards his Telsla Model S parked on the side of the road and gives one more look to his old home.
"I've paid my penance for my past Cable, now it's time for the devil to collect his due, from you."
He "shoots" the camera with his finger and winks as we fade.
Dre Cutler. Wooo boy, what a year you've had son!
No seriously, if you haven’t seen this kid wrestle yet, do so. Subscribe to the network and check out the year this kid has had, it's been a pleasure to watch.
And a pain to feel.
I hear ya Dre, I heard your Hey, and let me tell ya, he don't look like much, but when he drives that shoulder into your chest and say's Hey, he literally takes your breath away.
It's no secret I've been high on this kid since day one. I've even tried to recruit him into KIWA. Granted I went about it the wrong way and he refused, rightfully so, I would have refused me the way I was acting also.
But that's water under the bridge Dre, and the invite will always be an open one.
And I'll prove that this week in the EXTINCTION EVENT.
Where normally ego pride and jealousy could take over and ruin our chances at victory, I will not allow. At least it won’t happen from me.
I promises you Dre, in front of all these people as my witness, I will do everything in my power to make sure you walk out of SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 2016 as a champion.
If you get Cable Spike or Noah dead to rights and have them beat, I will do everything I can to make sure it happens, I will watch your back to make sure no one breaks the count, or makes you release a submission.
If you do the same for me and Falcon Dre, then there is no way the house wins.
Hard Rock Rocksino, Northfield Park. VIP Room. Time unknown.
JFK is sitting alone at a blackjack table in the VIP section of the Hard Rock Rocksino in Northfield Park just a short drive south of Cleveland. JFK is in a nice dark gray suit sitting upright at the table his shoulder that Spike and Nighhawk targeted is being worked on by one of the masseuse girls that walks around the casino, she finishes up and JFK hands her a chip as a tip, he rotates the shoulder while holding it and nods his head.
"Good work darlin', thank you."
The camera pans around so it's behind the dealer looking at JFK, he continues to play as he talks.
"This is the life you want isn’t it Noah? Money, power, respect and all the things that come with it? You want to be the new face of the IWF so much so that you sold your soul to the House. Is this what Laura promised you?"
He waves his hand around to the VIP section.
"Special treatment? Money? Power? Fame? The Imperial Championship? The face of the IWF? These are all the things you want but Noah, let me tell you from firsthand experience. This life? You're not ready for it. You need a special balance in this life to not let it corrupt you and take you over. You need a balance that you just don't have in your life Noah. A knowledge that, while all of this is great, it doesn’t last, and it can all be taken away from you in a heartbeat. And then who will you be Noah? Who will you be when Laura dumps you at the road side and goes with the next hot item who will be your replacement just as you think you are Cables replacement? Then what Noah?
What happens when Dre, Falcon or I walk out of Survival of the Fittest as the NEW Invictus Champion? What happens to you when we bring back prestige and honor back to a title that you've neglected? One that you don't even care about? You become a footnote in our history books Noah, that's what happens to you."
He slides a $100 chip to the dealer as a tip and stands.
"I on the other hand Noah. I've been the face of a franchises, hell I've already been the face of this franchise, I'd lived a life in the spotlight, with the fame, the money, the power and I can tell you from first hand experience Noah."
He walks out of the VIP area to the main floor heading over to the lounge bat that also doubles as a small club, we can hear dance music pumping out of the area with Chris and Victoria on the dance floor cutting it up, Will is sitting over at the bar with a fine looking waitress who looks to be off work, giving him a dance, Christina Kaos is behind the bar handing out drinks and even JFK's old friend and tag partner Shiyen is sitting at the bar laughing it up with his pals Doc, Charlie, and Venom.
"All the money, power and fame in the world can't buy you friends and family. It's no fun being at the top alone with no one to celebrate it with, and it sucks to hit rock bottom without anyone to comfort you. I've been at both Noah, I know what it takes to be a champion, and come this Sunday, one of us, Falcon, Dre or me, are walking out of Cleveland with the Inviticus championship, so you don't have to be burdened with it anymore."
Another shot fired with a wink and a devilish smile.
Falcon Falcon Falcon.
What can be said about this man that hasn’t already?
The dude is a legit Hall of Famer.
He's taken on the best of the best, and taken them to their limit.
Personally I think he's underrated by the community, especially IWF fans new to the sport that do not know about his legacy.
NCW archives are there for a reason people, watch em, learn, become a fan of the most convicted of us all.
Falcon tells it like it is, and sometimes that rubs people the wrong way, hell it's even rubbed me the wrong way but that's because
The truth hurts.
Falcon is a man of his word and conviction. If he tells you you're an asshole, you are most likely an asshole.
That's what I respect about him the most.
And that's why I give you the same promises I gave Dre Fal...no. Kyle.
Man to man, I give you the same word I gave Dre, no matter what, I've got your back, and I'll do everything I can to make sure you walk out as a Champion.
Be it over your new rival Cable, your old dancing partner Spike, or the young upstart Noah, if you get any of them dead to rights, I will make sure you succeed.
And then hey after words we can go grab a cold one and see if you'd be interesting in joining KIWA.
But let’s go pull off the biggest upset of the year first.
Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio.
We are inside the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland Ohio, the Cavs got done #DefendingTheLand a few hours earlier and the work crew are now setting up the IWF stage and ring. The cage is currently lowered and we can see JFK walking around it, he's in a black long-sleeved IWF shirt with the sleeves pulled up 1/3rd of his arm, and pair of jeans. He walks around the cage pulling and pushing at it.
"God of Steel huh? Catchy, but still just as childish as some of your old nick names. You just can’t seem to give up this whole "God" title can you Spike? I think you are over compensating for something else but hey, that's between you and your wi...girlfri...wait...do you have anyone anymore or have you ran everyone you care about out of your life just so you can call yourself God?"
JFK shakes his head.
"Being a God seems like a lonely life Spike, especially one that is a false god and just disillusioned man. Hate to break it to you Spike but I know firsthand, you are mortal. You are a man, you can, and you will BLEED. There's no running this time Spike, there's no HoH to back you up and bail you out.
And yeah, sure you beat me one on one a few weeks ago, you got the better of me I will not deny you that, you finally stepped up and won one on your own.
One.
And that's all you are going to get Spike because come this Sunday, boy..I got a present from you from an old friend of ours."
He motions with his left arm a stunner type motion.
"Be it a Price Crash, or the Final Nail in your Coffin, your title reign as the God of Steel, and as the Man of Steel champion comes to an end at Survival of the Fittest.
And I know I said I've moved on from the Man of Steel championship but don't get it twisted Spike, if I get an opportunity to take that title from you, I will. Just to make you suffer. Just to make you cry. Just to watch you bitch and moan and try to spin it every way possible so it wasn’t your fault.
I fear no man that claims to be GOD.
I've danced with the devil under the pale moonlight Spike, I lead.
Meaning the Devil was my bitch."
One last "shot" fired from his "gun, this time, no wink. No smile.
Thought I forgot about the women in this match?
How could I have?
Have you seen Eternity in the ring before? Or one of her segment?
Not something one can forget.
No matter how much you might want too.
She's dominated the Diamonds division, has destroyed everyone that they have put into her path.
It took a clusterfuck of a match to get the title off from her.
And this is no slight to Jessica Reed, who is a hall of famer in her own right and one hell of a talent in that ring, I think she could give some of the guys a run for their money to be honest with you.
But Eternity?
She's a different type of beast, one that only knows destruction and mayhem.
And then you have the head diva of the division Paige Garcia.
Another dominate champion in her own right.
She's out to prove that Crystal Millar is just a flash in the pan and holding her title for her till she gets it back.
Or hell the women might even flip flop belts and go after the other one, this type of match you never know what will happen.
But I'll be there to make sure they walk out champions.
I'm telling you this IWF faithful.
You're going to want to watch Survival of the Fittest this Sunday, November 27th 2016 at the Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio.
