I'm the Real Chaos!

The Plan Extraction 3: I’m the Real Chaos!

It's obvious to me, that I'm being overshadowed. Tuhoa Valo might very-well be an impatient man, but he has every right to be the way he is. I've made a bigger statement a few short weeks, than the majority of so-called "Megastars", can make in their entire APW careers! What I've done thus-far, only proves the theory that I am the most dominant performer to ever step foot into an Action Packed Wrestling ring!

Everybody has their moments. A point in time where you can't help but look back, wondering where it's all gone. A moment of solace, that turns into panic, wondering when exactly is time going to slow down…

TIME... Something we all take for granted.

As I sat outside the mausoleum, I couldn't help but look down, remembering the times that I spent with my brother. He was a not only my brother, a member of my immediate family, but he was also a true friend, in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, he was taken from this world way too soon. But to me, he is still very-much alive...

The Finnish Phenom
It's taken me several months to get used to this. Pretending that nothing's wrong, thinking that everything is just fine. But now, I know the truth.

I felt as if I had to turn this into a promo. People around APW, say that they know very little about me. That I need to do something to change that. I’ve come to find out that not only is it hard to "play the part", but it's hard to dodge the personal questions. I can't keep to myself much longer, I have to do something to help prolong the process. It's time to be the character, it's time to be the Finnish Phenom. But more than that, it's time to let APW and their fans know what they're getting. Because if it's "entertainment" that they want, then it's "entertainment" that they'll get! I turned around to face the cameras, in hopes that this promo would solidify my place in APW as an "entertainer". I mean, that's what they're looking for in a "wrestler"... Right?

The Finnish Phenom
Do you think that this is what I want? Do you honestly think that I take pleasure in airing out my dirty laundry to millions of people? No, I don't. But the front office seems to think that I won't draw any ratings, that I won't put asses in seats, that I won't sell any merchandise, if I don't show the world that I'm just as much of a human being as the rest.

I couldn't help but laugh to myself, at what I had just said. Normal human beings have feelings that reach outside of their comfort zone. Me? I can't really say the same about myself. In my eyes, Tuhoa Valo is anything but normal, anything but your average human being.

The Finnish Phenom
I must have been wrong, as a matter of fact, I know I was wrong. Americans don't care about gimmicks and microphone work! All you disgusting people care about is drama, and soaking up the pain of others! So this is how I do it? This is how I connect with the fans? By letting you all into my personal life, showing you my pain? No, no... I don't think so! If the "higher-ups" in APW want me to open up, then they're sorely mistaken. I regret to inform you, that you've got the wrong guy. I've tried opening up before, I've played by that particular set of rules in the past! And do you know what it got me in return? Criticism, chastation, ridicule, you name it! They broke me down, tore me apart from the inside out! They say that the fans are attracted to someone that they could see themselves having a beer with, or engaging in a conversation with... But my question to you is, why? Why should I care about the fans? Why should I care whether or not they wear my T-shirt, chant my name, or place my name on a sign that they're bringing to the arena? The truth is, I could care less! I'm not here to bring joy to the fans, I'm here to bring pain and punishment to the men and women on the roster, who claim to be the best wrestlers in the business! So if I have to choose between being a fan favorite and proving other so-called "wrestlers" wrong, I'm going to choose my passion for this sport, over anything else!

I've seen it way too much. People come into this business hot, and leave freezing cold. Sure, the fans like them. According to many, the fans tend to "gravitate" towards these performers. But in the end, they just become a flash in the pan. I refuse to let that happen to me, I'm too skilled to let my talents go to waste. That's why I've spent the majority of my career, straying away from the fans. If they like me, it's because they're true fans of the sport. If they don't, then it's because they like this sport for all the wrong reasons. Take the fans of Logan Alexander, for example… They love the man, even though he blatantly makes it clear, that he could care less about them. Why? Because he seems to be everything that they wish they could be. They watch him in wonderment, wishing that they were Logan Alexander, when they should be looking at me in that light.

Tuhoa Valo might not be the best “people person” in Action Packed Wrestling, but when it comes to this business, there’s no one better. My talents in the ring, should leave every wrestling fan in wonderment. But I’m overlooked, overshadowed by those who tend to be a bit more sizzle, and a lot less flame! I mean, It's obvious to me, that I'm being overshadowed. Tuhoa Valo might very-well be an impatient man, but he has every right to be the way he is. I've made a bigger statement a few short weeks, than the majority of so-called "Megastars", can make in their entire APW careers! What I've done thus-far, only proves the theory that I am the most dominant performer to ever step foot into an Action Packed Wrestling ring!

I began to pace around my brothers grave, choosing my words carefully before I speak. I pride myself on being an intellectual, on being able to express myself through words, like no one else can.

The Finnish Phenom
You said something, Logan… You said something that got to me. You admitted your trepidations. You admitted to the world, that my talents could very-well supersede yours. I have to give it to you, at least you’re being honest with yourself. You already know that I’m your superior! Thus, I need not prove it to you Monday night. But for some reason, you still want your fans to believe that you stand a chance against me. Why? Why would you want them to believe? And furthermore, why would you expect them to? Why would you even admit it to them, in the first place? You made a mistake, Logan. You let me know that your confidence is low, and that you believe in my abilities. Bad move, and that’s the truth. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in this business, it’s that you NEVER let your opponent know how highly you think of them. And that’s what you’ve done, you’ve let me know how much fear lives inside of you. And while you might not have come out and said it, it’s obvious to me that there’s still an awful lot of fear, that exists inside of you.

I can understand why. I mean come on, look at me! Look what I’m capable of, and look what I’ve done so far! No one has been able to stop me, and there’s not a soul that’s going to be successful in their attempt, anytime soon. That includes you, Logan. I have come to Action Packed Wrestling, said what I was going to do, and then I’ve done it. I’m the kind of man that refuses to make a statement, and then not follow through with it. That’s not me, because I don’t have it in me. I pride myself on honor and integrity. I thrive on looking my foe in the face, letting them know my intentions, and then proving to them that they’re not going to stop me. Thus, this week, I tell you. I’m going to continue to clean up this company. I’m going to run straight through you, yet again proving that so-called “Megastars” are nothing but wrestling frauds! Tuhoa Valo… Tuhoa Valo is the real deal! A professional wrestler, not some “entertainer”! This business is filled with filth, such as yourself. Men and women would make legends of this business roll in their graves! Not only is it the disgusting truth, but it’s a god damn shame!

There used to be a time not so long ago, where a wrestling fan could wear his colors proudly. But along came this new generation, who had horrid ideas, and expected everything to be handed to them. Once that generation took power, the business was ran down, and now means next to nothing. You play a part in that generation, Logan. You’re part of the reason, that professional wrestling is looked at as a laughingstock! I was brought up in this business, very old school. Nothing handed to me, nothing gained out of the gate. But I’d like to think that so far, I’ve done enough to prove myself worthy of the praise. Yet they still continue to bank on men like you, a man who couldn’t even make it to the final three, in his match at the pay per view. And do you know what that makes you? Logan, it makes you an “also ran”. It means that you’re not one of the top players on Meltdown, and you shouldn’t be treated as such. So what I’m going to do is simple, Logan. I’m going to beat you within an inch of your life, take your spot as a “main player”, and bring more attention to the fact that professional wrestling is indeed still a sport!

As I paused, deep in thought, I couldn’t help but think to myself… “Wouldn’t it be something, to be the savior of more than one world”?

The Finnish Phenom
Logan, feel free to think of me as your personal savior. A man who is coming in, to save the business that you claim to love so much. You place this front up for all to see, making them believe that you actually care. But I have no doubt in my mind, that this business is just a means to make a living, for yourself, and several others who are just like you. You don’t fool me, I can easily see right through your façade. But to me, it’s not about the money. I could care less what I get out of this business, hell, I would do it for free, if I didn’t need to make a living! But where you and I take different paths, is what will lead to your downfall. If our respective contracts were to expire tomorrow, I would be resigned, while you would continue to negotiate. Tuhoa Valo cares more about this business, than he cares about padding his pockets. I mean, look at you, and then look at me. It’s apparent that I could care less what my clothing looks like, nor could I care less about the car I drive, or the house that I live in. But you, everybody already knows… You care WAY too much. To me, this is about the business, it’s about the sport! And to you, and those just like you, once again, it’s a means to make a rich living.

Footsteps could be heard, getting closer and closer. I turned around, turning my attention to the silhouette that was approaching me. I knew right away who it was, because even the silhouette was as sexy as anything I had ever seen.

The Finnish Phenom
I thought I told you that I would call, when I wanted you here…

Marie walked into the picture, revealing herself to the cameras. As she placed her hand on my shoulder, I couldn’t help but shiver. Because every time the cold-hearted bitch touches me, I can’t help but get a bit aroused…

Marie
You know, you really make this no fun. I had planned on trying to spook you.

I continued my silence, letting her know that I’m not easily spooked, without even saying a word.

Marie
It’s been over a week, now. Have you heard from him yet?

The Finnish Phenom
No, but I will. However, I need to keep my focus on APW. I need to stay focused on Logan Alexander.

Marie
And why is that? The guy has already expressed his deepest concerns, about getting into the ring with you. He obviously knows that you’re a far superior wrestler. Besides, we have other business to take care of. Or did you forget about those who are waiting for you, those who are hanging on your every word?

The Finnish Phenom
Like I told Turner, nobody does anything yet. Nobody makes a move, until I tell them to make a move. For right now, I want to focus on the rebuild, and I want to remain focused on Action Packed Wrestling. With Meltdown shortly around the corner, I have to remain poised, ready for anything.

Marie
You’ve remained plenty focused on APW, lately! Don’t you think it’s time to move forward? You’re making this a movement of agony, not a movement of fun! We were supposed to be enjoying the fruits of our labor, by now! But you insist that moving at this sluggish state, is the right thing to do.

The Finnish Phenom
Because it is, Marie! You are my queen, and I value your opinion. But I have advisors, I have people to answer to! If I fail this time, there might not be a next time. You know that as well as I do. So for the time being, it’s best if we remain silent, straying away from the “other side of the tracks”. It gives me time to focus on Meltdown. But not only that, it gives me a chance to move forward in my plans for APW.

I could tell by her silence, that she was none-too-pleased.

The Finnish Phenom
Go… Let me continue…

Rolling her eyes, she walked away. And even though she left mad, I absolutely loved watching her walk away. As I turned my attention back to the cameras, rain began to fall from the skies…

The Finnish Phenom
I’ll put it to you like this… If I’m willing to ignore the likes of Marie, just to focus on beating you… What makes you think that you even stand a chance against Tuhoa Valo? She could turn a gay man straight, yet I turn her away, just so I’m able to maintain my focus. You say that this match may not allow you to start your rise, but it will prolong your downfall. Logan, your downfall has only just begun! And regardless of whether or not your statement was insulting to me or not, beating you does nothing for me! My stock is already higher than yours! While you were busy failing miserably at One Night in Hell, I was busy making easy work of a Meltdown “mainstay”. Now the question is, what do they say when I beat you? Do they call it the same? Do they say that I’ve taken out yet another Meltdown mainstay? Or do they say that it was intended to happen, that you never even stood a chance? The smart money is that you don’t stand a chance. But I’m sure that there are those Logan Alexander believers, that will see this victory as an upset. But the facts are the facts, you really don’t stand a chance.

But before the two of us stand toe to toe in the middle of the ring, I have to take a second to thank you, Logan. Thank you for being my next victim. Thank you for allowing me to show the world that you’re just like the rest, just another dime-a-dozen wrestler. Because once I’m finished with you, I won’t be in the match before the main event, I WILL BE THE MAIN EVENT! And at that point, I will be able to move forward with my plan. I will be able to cock the hammer back, and finally pull the proverbial trigger.

I couldn’t help but laugh once again, at what I had just said, because there’s always more to the story…

The Finnish Phenom
It seems as if I’ve been pulling a lot of triggers, here lately. But when it comes to you, Logan… Have you ever heard the story of Old Yeller? Maybe you should brush up on your children stories, before you decide to meet me in the ring on Monday night. Because when it comes time to do it, I’ll have no problem acting on my instincts. When the time comes, I’ll have no problem pulling the trigger. You think your Chaos? You think you’re actually the Chaos of APW? In my native land, Tuhoa MEANS Chaos! Look it up, brush up on your Finnish! And if that’s not convincing enough for you, then the trigger that gets pulled Monday night on Meltdown, will be all the proof you need! In other words, Logan… Chaos on puhunut… CHAOS on puhunut!
