The Plan Extraction V: Witches Before Me

The Finnish Phenom
How could I have left so many holes in my plan, how could I have ever missed this!?!? They're on to me, they have to be! How could I have missed all the holes in my "thought-to-be" solid plan? I'm dead, I'll never work in Action Packed Wrestling, or any other wrestling company again! They’re going to hang me, burn me at the stake! No, no they’re not. It’s going to be worse! They’re not even going to let me keep my head! They’re not going to lynch me, they’re going to cut my damn head off! How could I have let this happen? How did I not see it coming? They’re going to kill me! My career as I know it is over!

Wait… Wait a minute... Unless...

The dead streets of Norman Street had me wondering... As I continued walking down the street by myself, I had nothing to do BUT think. I'm not complaining, though. I always like to keep my mind clear, regardless of the circumstances. But coming up, this could very-well be the biggest match of my APW career thus far. Not only does this match grant me a shot to get one step closer to the North American Championship, but Irver Famori HAS to be the most challenging foe that I've been up against yet. That says a lot about Irver, seeing as how I already have a "loss" on my record to Logan Alexander. But everyone knows that Logan's win doesn't count, because I never tapped out. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still undefeated.

The Finnish Phenom
Let it be etched in stone, let it be shouted out loud to the masses! Tuhoa Valo has made his presence felt in the utmost way.

The few people that I do pass in the street, they're just as crazy as I am. It bothers them very little, as they continue their stroll down Norman Street, that I'm "talking to myself". Ignore the fact that I'm wearing a mask, they just think I'm plain crazy. But, maybe I am?

The Finnish Phenom
I find myself riding a wave of success, early on in my Action Packed Wrestling career. A ride that continues to pick up down-hill momentum, a ride that doesn't stop anytime in the near future. The proverbial ride winding through twists and turns, takes me right to the APW North American Championship, and to the very top of the Action Packed Wrestling food chain. I have worked very hard to get to where I am. In such a short time, I have made my name synonymous with American professional wrestling. Picture that! A Finnish man, making himself synonymous with AMERICAN professional wrestling! Absolutely unheard of!

And it really is. In my short time with APW, I have done what most professional wrestlers have never been able to do. Not only have I proven that I belong in the company, but I’ve already proven that I can hang with anyone they decide to put in front of me. Be it two men in my debut match, be it a woman in a marquee match at a pay per view. I can do it all, and I can fight them all! I’m a fighter, it’s what I do. But furthermore, I’m a professional wrestler, and WRESTLING is really what I do!

The Finnish Phenom
I am changing the business. And like it or not, I am doing exactly what I said I was going to do! The fans look at me, and they see a WRESTLER. Regardless of whether they like me or not, they still are forced to admire me. My in-ring work does most of my talking, and there's not a soul alive that can get in that ring, and compete with my in-ring knowhow! I’ve turned numerous heads, proved countless wrong, and turned myself into a true contender in Action Packed Wrestling. All of this, I have accomplished in a little over a month. Like it or not, I am one of the very best performers that this business has ever seen, and a shoe in for the APW North American Championship. I've heard so many people say that they see APW gold in my near future. So the question for you Irver Famori... Is how soon does my future come to solidify? How soon is it, until I'm holding that "APW gold" that everyone sees in my future? How soon... Is now...?

The Smiths... One of my all time favorite bands. My mind was racing, thinking of how many let downs in the song "How Soon is Now", I could compare to Irver Famori, and the downfall of his APW career at my hands. Too many to count, but we must continue.

The Finnish Phenom
Witches are bad people, Irver. They're just as bad at being people, as you are at being a professional wrestler. If you don't understand what I'm saying, and I'm pretty sure your tiny brain doesn't get it... I'm telling you that you don't compare to me in any way, shape, or form. You see, Tuhoa Valo is a very unique individual. While people like you come a dime-a-dozen, I'm the kind of person that only comes around once in a lifetime. With that being said, I find myself a little uneasy about your rant regarding witches. Do you know something that I don't know, Irver? Better yet, do you know something that you shouldn't? With the questions that arise, they need know response. You of all people would never be able to figure out my next move. However those around you, they've already been hard at work, placing together the pieces of the puzzle.

Real soon, Irver. It's going to all go down very, VERY soon. And when it does, you'll know what I'm talking about. The entire world will know what I'm talking about, and it will all make sense. But until then, I must get past you, I must break you down Monday night! Meltdown is my second chance, my direct road to the APW North American Championship. While Logan Alexander was able to earn his shot by squeaking past me a few weeks ago, you're not going to have the honor of getting that lucky. I never tapped out to him, and I refuse to tap out to you! Tapping out is for quitters, and I’ve never quit at anything in my life. With that being said, you and I have an opportunity to tear the proverbial house down, Monday night on Meltdown. With two styles that are so similar, this could very-well turn out to be the match of the night.

But make no mistake about it, asshat… I AM the better man! I AM the better wrestler! And when it comes right down to it, if this match turns out to be the “measure of a man’s heart”… You’re not going to last too long.

If my plan is to come to pass, I have to win this match. Not too many chances arise in the sport of professional wrestling, to get a shot at the main championship. Regardless of whether the North American Championship is of the utmost importance in Action Packed Wrestling… It’s still the championship of the Meltdown roster. And being the champion of Meltdown, being the champion of North America, being the “King of the Mountain” on Meltdown… That’s what I need, if I’m going to pull this off.

The Finnish Phenom
You want to talk exploitation? You want to bring witches into all of this? WITCHES!?!? You’ve really got me wondering, Irver. I’m beginning to think that it’s exactly what I said it was… You just know something that you shouldn’t. Thus, I’m going to let you in on a little something that Americans like to call “a valuable lesson”. Irver… If you mess with fire, you’re going to get burned. Therefore, you can bring all the witches you want to this fight, it’s not going to change the fact that you’re going to fall at my feet, just like every witch be…

No, I can’t… I just can’t! It’s hard enough to keep all of my feelings inside, but to let them out, confirm their suspicions… That would just kill my career altogether.

The Finnish Phenom
You want to see some magic, Irver? You want to witness powers beyond your wildest imagination? That’s what would happen, if you were to beat me. Because not only would it be a miracle, you would also convince me that you do indeed have some supernatural ability! And people say that I’M crazy?!?! Son, you just don’t even know! Furthermore, I don’t even think you have the slightest clue!

…But of all people, you could very-well be the one that’s hot on my heels. I mean, let’s face it… You don’t know me, and I don’t know you. I wouldn’t think it would be you, but maybe Jeff… Maybe he… No, no it couldn’t be.

What am I doing, obsessing? Now, I’m not even talking wrestling! But if he knows, he already knew. There’s nothing that can be done now, is there? The only thing I can do, is go out there, prove my point, and come away with the victory. If my paranoia is proven true, then I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Then and only then, should I begin to obsess about it.

The Finnish Phenom
This has nothing to do with witches, nor does it have anything to do with anyone’s supernatural abilities, or suspicions of such nonsense! This is about two men! Two men stepping into a wrestling ring with one another, going one on one, fighting to the best of their PHYSICAL abilities. And when it comes right down to it, I know who’s going to come out on top. While you could have stumbled onto something golden, I have come to terms with the fact that you just got lucky. With what? I’ll never let you know, because one day you’ll find out for yourself. Just understand that you’ve somewhat gotten into my head. But regardless Famori, it doesn’t change what happens in the ring Monday night. It might change the course of my plan, but it doesn’t change what I do to you in that ring!

I’ve been working very hard on this plan, so I can’t let you stay in my head. In all honesty, I think that you’ve just accidentally stumbled upon something, without even knowing that you were doing so. Therefore, I’m going to dismiss your comments as nothing but mumbling nonsense. Chalk it up to you just talking out of your ass, like I know you’re famous for. Just keep in mind that when I KICK your ass, your head is only going to go up into it further. If you don’t get your head out of it soon, you might not ever be able to, you know? And believe me Irver, nobody likes a man who constantly walks around with his head up his ass. It makes them believe that he’s full of shit. But then again, you actually think you stand a chance in beating me, so maybe you are full of shit.

…Actually, scratch that. You really ARE full of shit.

I say that of course, with all of the respect that I can muster up for you. Which right now, in all honesty, really isn’t that much. However, showing up this Monday night, will at least earn you a bit more respect in my eyes, because we both know who’s walking out with the victory on Monday night.

With the paranoia now in the back of my mind, trying to bring itself back to the forefront… I continued walking past the homeless, past the hungry, past the crazy… Until I ended up right out in front of the arena.

The Finnish Phenom
This is it, Irver. This is the place where one of us attempts to make history. To tell you the truth, I know it’s going to be a bit harder than I’ve made it out to be thus far. However, the end result will still be the same. Because while you attempt to give American wrestling fans a history lesson, I’ll continue to focus on educating myself. I need not worry about how well educated the American people are. Being from the other side of the ocean, you and I both know that they’re as moronic as human beings could ever be! I don’t concern myself with educating them, because they’ll never listen, nor will they ever care to have enough respect for themselves to even try and learn anything. This is what will be your Achilles heel, it’s what will lead to your ultimate downfall! You concern yourself with fairy tales, trying to teach people about lessons learned throughout history. Me? I’m going to continue to focus on you, your message, your style, and what I have to do to get the job done.

Trust me, this isn’t going to be a walk in the park for neither of us. But the bottom line thins out at this point… You have no clue who I am, and if you do, you’re not talking! Therefore, I’m going to continue to believe that you’re just blowing smoke. And with that being said, I know EXACTLY who you are. Trust me, before I came to Meltdown, I did my homework. I know everything about everybody on the roster, you included! So when this is all said and done... When the smoke has cleared and the night is over... Will you tell them? Will you ever even admit it?

...Will you educate them on the time that Irver Famori lost to the Finnish Phenom?

Because if you don't, trust me... I WILL!

I turned around, taking one last look at the arena that Irver and I will be doing battle in on Monday night. I couldn’t help but get chills, knowing that my victory over him, will bring me one step closer to the APW North American Championship. A championship that I not only want, but I championship that I desperately need. To move forward with my plan, that title has to be around my waist. Nothing more, nothing less. I can’t accept failure, and I refuse to do so.

The Finnish Phenom
Tuhoa on puhunut, Irver… And I’ll see you on Monday night. Good luck, because you’re going to need it. But no matter how much luck you’re able to muster, it’s just not going to be good enough.
