Dear Journal....
That's weird. I'm going to rename you something a little more creative.
Dear Chris,
Yeah that's better. Anyways, Chris, It was suggested to me that I should keep a journal about my time at Wrestle Factory and what I learn about everything, but I don't really want to do that. I mean, I can't imagine what it's like having to write these three to four paged journal entries about what I'm doing and how I'm feeling every week it sounds like a TOTAL drag bro!, I got other stuff to do you know? Like actually go to class and learn! Because I don't know if you've noticed since your paper or something, but I still haven't exactly won a match. I haven't actually lost a match since going to Nighthawks school and..im clinging to that alternative fact because.....it's....all.....I.....have......
That's self deprecating humor, I'm really not all that sad, i'm actually pretty happy. I have a few friends in life and things are really starting to look up for me. Sure you know everything isn't exactly where it should be but hey I'm doing the best I can alright. Besides what do you know Chris? Your just a stack of dead trees you judgmental dick!
Wow....this has derailed....why did I start writing in pen? I can't erase it now. Why am I still writing at all?
Start over.
Dear Chris....
No Chris is a dick.
Dear journal....
I wasn't to keen on getting you but Coach Nighthawk thinks it's a good idea to help vent out anything that is going on in life, and I guess it's not the worst idea, so I guess I'll do it for now and see what happens. I've been training and doing my best to just absorb every bit of knowledge I can get from Nighthawk and his school. I'm like a knowledge vacuum cleaner just sucking up the information. Learning work out tips, better ways to eat healthy....I never heard of Kale before now......terrible....and most importantly, Nighthawk has been giving us extensive wrestling knowledge. He's the man of 1000 holds well I think that I am at about 32 and
I'm proud to say that only 13 of them are arm bars.
And I plan to unleash all 32 holds I know on Buck Spencer so he can get a taste of all the flavors. That;s right I'm the Baskin Robbins of PAIN baY-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! And I'm coming for Buck Spencer. I saw him in the ring last week and he scored the pin on the other guy, so I'm feeling extra hype about it. I really want to take that win back! I've been in the gym as much as I can, doing everything I can to get myself ready for this match and between all of that and Nighthawks teachings.....I think I got what it takes to finally shake off this old matthews curse.
Unlike what those two jerks Buzz and Puke were saying the other week. There I was in the gym, running the treadmill during free workouts when those jerks came up to me and started causing problems. Buzz is the protypical jock that has the total look that wrestling companies want but thinks he's better then everyone else and Puke is his thin, almost malnourished looking but stupid side kick. I'm just running the treadmill and they walk up to me.
Buzz smiled like a cobra at it's prey, ready to sink his arrogant teeth into his next victim.
Buzz: Probably because he famously dropped the ball at the biggest wrestling show of the year and then hasn't won a match since.
If Buzz truly spat venom he wouldn't have spilled a drop with that strike. It was a hit below the belt from a guy he barely knew, he felt enraged inside but Jayson just glares at him, opting to stay professional but he doesn't stop running. Buzz smiles knowing he got to him.
Buzz: Isn't that who you are? Big hollywood hot shot loser? I think you can run a little faster than that.
Jayson watches as Buzz jabs the button to make the treadmill go faster. Jayson tries to stop him but before he knew it all he could do was try to keep up. Buzz turned the meter up to twenty five miles per hour and then even up to thirty and Jayson was struggling but he managed to keep up just to prove a point.
Buzz: Not to bad hollywood.....but let's see what happens when everything suddenly.....stops!
That's when you see Puke pull the plug out of the wall and Jayson's momentum sends him flipping over the front of the machine and to the ground on his back with a hard thud! The two bullies laugh at Jayson.
Buzz: Look at that Hollywood....on your back again. Heard your used to it.
Puke: Yeah, you loser!
That's when a girl walks up. She had brown hair and brown eyes and she immediately got right into Buzz's face.
Girl: Hey, you leave him alone! Or I'll flip you on your heads so fast you'll see stars! And you know I can, because I'm in the advanced class!
Puke cowers behind Buzz and Buzz reluctantly backs down knowing full well he wouldn't be able to take her on without getting embarrassed. Just then Coach Nighthawk comes walking up and see's the girl and Buzz eye to eye and Jayson laying on the ground.
Nighthawk: What in the world is going on?
Buzz: Nothing coach....Jayson just fell down.
Nighthawk: Well is he alright?
Jayson stands up, dusting himself off.
Jayson Matthews: yeah I'm fine.
Nighthawk: Well how did you fall?
And thats when everybody looked at me. Buzz and Puke wondering if I was going to snitch them out to the teacher, Coach Nighthawk waiting for an explanation that made sense and this pretty girl I've never seen before watching it all, wondering what I was going to do period.
Jayson Matthews: Just clumsy I guess. You know me, Coach.
Nighthawk rationalized the situation and shook it all off.
Nighthawk: Well come on everyone, I have a demonstration to show you all....
Buzz: Yes Coach nighthawk.
They all head off toward the rings.
I could have ratted them out....but I'm not a rat.
And I'm sure i'll be seeing those jerks for a long time....I'll get even.
“Buck Spencer.....”
We open on Jayson standing in front of the camera with a smile on his face.
“Dude, you got the goods. Your tough and scrappy and I have to say the beard is luscious bro. Putting you in a head lock my arm feels warm and cozy underneath your beard. It's nice. And on top of all of the other great stuff you got going on for you, your great in the ring. You just really came out of no where and went all the way to the finals of the Cruiser Weight Invitational, getting stopped only be Devlin Raine right at the end.
He lowers his head and shakes it.
“It was a tough break but you rebounded, and that's the important part, Buck. You didn't win the tournament but you got back up, dusted yourself off and look at you now your out here tearing it up on your own and your getting everybody to take notice of you anyway and you got your first win and you just started taking off. Your the little engine that could, Steve McQueen, you call yourself the Runnin Rebel and from what I've seen you just keep on runnin like a Forest Gump that kicks a lot of heavy duty booty. And that's great for you but....
Jayson hesitates to say this but decides to anyway.
“But eventually every train is gonna run out of steam....if you understand what I'm trying to say.....”
He raised his eyebrows up and down until he was certain everybody saw what he did there.
“Every car is gonna run out of gas......if you, you know catch my drift....”
Another series of eyebrow raises.
“and even Forest Gump got tired of it and turned back........JEN-NAY!
He shrugs his shoulders again.
“I guess what I'm trying to say is Buck, with all due respect, I don't know when and I don't know where but eventually your run will come to a screeching halt and well, I'm going to try to make that moment happen this week on Sacrifice when I take you on one on one. Because this week when we have our match I put all the things that i've learned so far to the test. The hard work and dedication, all the sweat, it's all for this week to see where I stand in this world. To see how to properly adjust my training and where I go next. And I don't mean to toot my own horn Buck.....but...”
He pantomimes pulling a trucker's horn and “tooting” out the other side of his mouth.
“I'd like to think that I've been killing it in the gym. Bro, I think I'm going to go out to the ring this week on Sacrfice and thump you good with all this extra training I've been doing. I'm going to slap you so hard your two brothers are going to fall down. I'm going to go through every submission I have been taught and every throw and every strike and of course you'll be on the other side of the ring but the way I feel Buck....I feel really good about the work I've done.
He shrugs.
And that may not mean anything to you.
He clenches his fists.
But it means everything to me. And in my humble opinion Buck....At Sacrifice....
He points to the camera.
“It means I'm going bananas all over your face.”
He smiles as the camera fades.
Well howdy there pardner.
