Nov 20th at 2:06am, Salem, MA….the cameras find “The Smooth One” in the dark, dank bowels of the arena where he and Evan Envi have just put on one of the best matches of the night. Williams sits in his steel chair his face buried in hands. He has the taste of blood, sweat and tears in his mouth and the smell of hard work and funk from the nearby trash bins tinge his. With his other senses his ears pick up the sounds of footsteps coming his way and his eyes catch something fuzzy in the distance…..
What the hell is that?? Mannnn…I knew I should have just gone to the hotel to ponder yet another hard fought loss. This city is too damn creepy to be down in the basement in the dark.
As the footsteps draw nearer…The Smooth One looks harder into the darkness…His vision a little blurry and well hell its dark!! he can’t quite make out the light at the end of the hall.
This is the big one! I’m coming to you Elizabeth!!…it’s Ichabod Crane, The Wicked Witch of the West, the Great Pumpkin!! I knew I should have said my drank my milk, ate my vegetable and said my prayers!!
In the distance he hears the word “SON”
DAD??
It’s me SON!!
DAD? Is that you? ..What happened? Are you on the other side?? What happened did you have a heart attack? I told you to leave Ms. Jones alone!!! Stay away from the light!! Don’t go into the light!!!!
The light grows closer and the footsteps draw nearer until the light is blinding! Whatever it is puts his hand on the Smooth One's shoulder…[/color][/u]
AGGGGHHHH!!!!
What is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind??
DAD!!…You’re not dead…Ms. Jones didn’t kill you!!!
He hugs his father intensely!!!
Get off of me!! You have lost it!! What the hell are you doing down here?
I was reflecting…I am so glad you aren’t dead.. Wait, what are you doing here??
I came here to see you wrestle. Son, I know this is important to you and after our talk I just wanted to come and support you and cheer you on to victory, plus I brought my blaster..I was going to shoot Envi in the ass if he got out of hand.
Thanks Dad. that means a lot. *Smooth goes into hug his father again*
Ummm *wooooo* Son…this suit is Armani and you stink!
That’s not me..that’s the trash bins.
No son..you smell like day old ass and chicken backs?
Chicken Backs? WTH is a chicken back?
I don’t know but you smell like one…and a little bit of mango chutney? I’m hungry!! Anyway, you have blood and sweat all over you! Hey have you been crying?
No..*sniff* It’s Envi’s hair product!
The Blood….
Envi’s!
The sweat?
Oh that’s mine..and well a little of Envi’s
The tooth??
Delikado’s!!!!
And the grey chunks?
Ummm…that might be brain? That could be anyone’s??
Ok..that’s nasty…hey can we get out of here? You need a shower and I am hungry. He can you introduce me to AJP?
No…leave Jess alone! She is probably in no condition to be harassed by a horny old man!
Come on Son! She is one hot piece of a$$…
Come on Dad! I liked you better when you were a ghost!
Whatever funky..let’s go!! Btw, that Envi is even more handsome in person!
*groan*

The Smooth Journal – Nov 21st 10:43am -Stand on your own two feet!
I got an email from Mannie this morning: "You got drafted to Asylum" My first thoughts wereOh ****!!I am excited and sadden at the same time. I’ll miss Meltdown, the locker room and the Meltdown fans. The move to Asylum will allow me to apply my craft against the best of the best. Sally Talfourd; World Heavyweight Champion and someone I admire, I don’t know if I’ll ever end up in the ring with her, but I have learned lots just watching her overcome the odds and don the gold ...she is inspirational. Jason Kash: A Champion multiple times and if someone whose bad side you don’t want to be on. Johnny Rebel: Another multiple champion and another experienced talented competitor. That is just the tip of the iceberg, Raab (boooo), Yarmouth (Fella), The Promise, Tap Out Champ Julius Farquhar not to mention Jess got drafted to Asylum too!! There are no weak links on Asylum! Every week I’ll be challenging and be challenged by APW’s best. I thought bumping heads with the likes Envi, Lively, Streets, Shadow, Delikado and others was tough and it was, but this is just as much a challenge. I would be fooling myself if I thought I would come up from Meltdown and run through Asylum, hell I didn’t do that on Meltdown…I am stupid, but not that stupid. I am honored by the call up and I appreciate the opportunity. The APW brass watched me work during my short time in APW and on Meltdown and said “that old man has got something” and I do. I will work hard to make the Asylum mainstays take notice. I promise not to let down all of the people who believe in me or the fans of APW. They have gotten behind me cheered me on in my battles with Envi they believe in me and I believe in them. The APW fans know quality when they see it; they know talent, skill and hunger I will use their energy, passion and faith to further propel the career of “The Smooth One”!
Now that I am moving on Asylum it is time for The Smooth One to stand on his own two feet. I won’t have “Mr. 420” around to assist me as I make my climb to the top of APW. Maybe this is a good thing; maybe him not having to guide me will allow him to reach his APW goals? I believe when he returns from his suspension APW will see a different Mannie. I don’t know if that means he’ll be even more dangerous that he was before, but he’ll be a forced to be reckoned with. I for one and looking forward to his resurgence and I hope that he takes this time to reevaluate, rededicate and recommit himself to his craft and regain his championship form. I hope he knows that I’ll always have his back and he can call on me at anytime. This takes me to another relationship I had on Meltdown..Jess. When she came out on that ramp Monday..I was proud of her and what she has accomplished, but later on after she was attacked by Zing and eventually pinned by LA I felt helpless to do anything. I feel like I let her down and now that we both are headed to Asylum I can’t help but wonder if our relationship will blossom or wilt. I cared greatly for Jess and she helped me come into my own as a wrestler. She constantly challenged me and she didn’t just see and “old dude” trying to make a mockery of a young person’s game. She knew I was talented and believed in me so no matter what happens….I will always be grateful for that.
*Cause he’s a Smooth Operator….Smooooooooooooooooooth Operator…...Coast to Coast ..LA to Chicago..
*The Smooth one looks up from his journal to see that his phone is ringing!
Hello..
William!!
Ms. Jones??
Yes, I am so excited!!
Ummm…why?
I saw you on tv last night!!!
*Laughing* Really?? Are you a wrestling fan now?
Well, I wanted to see you…..and ENVI!!
You know what!! *thinking ..I need to get a new secretary!!*
He beat your ass!! *Laughing*
He did not beat my ass…ummm..err..I slipped!!
Slipped on a back breaker!!
Hey..you are out of control…what do you want?
I just wanted to say that even though you got your assed whipped, you did very well I am proud of you. Oh and I heard you are going to Asylum!! Are you going to be ok at Asylum by yourself?
Yeah..it’s soon, but it is time to stand on my own two feet. I am looking forward to my move to Asylum. I have one match left on Meltdown first.
Yeah that’s right you are wrestling Uncle Fester from the Addams Family!!
I thought he looked familiar! *laughing* You are stupid!
*laughing* Ok…I am going to go but I just wanted to say good luck on Asylum` and try not to get your ass whipped over there.
Whatever…get off my phone!!
*laughing* if you get beat by Uncle Fester I am going to start answering your phones *Yoooou Ranggggggg*
That’s Lurch!
I don’t care its funny!!!
Goodbye Ms. Jones *I am going to start interviewing after the holidays*
Bye William!!

Smooth Journal: Nov 24th – 11:09am - Uncle Fester
I have one more match on Meltdown so before I go I have to leave the faithful fans of APW with one last glimpse of the Smooth One and it has to be fantastic. I am wrestling Ivor Famori. I have said this before and I’ll say it again, APW is filled with some strange cats. I used to think that the dudes that crawled out of gutter, who weren’t breast fed as children, escaped hell or are battling some inner evil demons were bad, but Famori takes the cake. I was watching the video of his promos and honestly I don’t know what the hell he is talking about? I am an educated man. I have multiple degrees; I speak 3 languages.. 4 if you include Ebonics. However, Mr. Famori is illogical and far from lucid. I have had to reach into my bag of resources to speak with the finest bableologists and jibber jabber experts in the business to help me to try and communicate with him. He is one who dwells in the dark arts and magic, ok…there is only one omnipotent entity in APW and that is Jesus Christ!!…the carpenter… not the wrestler *sorry Lively* so what I am going to do Monday is beat him to death and then drop to my knees and pray that he be resurrected so I can beat him to death again!! This is not in the Shire, there shall be no ring fellowships, no elves, no dwarfs and all of his little amulets, baubles and bracelets are not going to help him. The APW brass have embarked him on an impossible task, they have asked him to solve the “Smooth Code” a Raiders of the Lost Smooth type of adventure, but there is no coming back for him. So whether we are in Narnia, or Middle Earth, if you employ an army of orks, whether you bring Pugsley and Tuesday, Gomez and Morticia, Cousin Itt, Thing and Lurch..well if he brings Lurch he might have a chance..NOT! Regardless of what he does his going to get that ass beat.
Smooth Journal: Nov 24th – 8:32pm - Standing on my own two feet Pt. II
Actually, other than the fact that he is my opponent on Monday and well he is bat shit crazy I don’t have a problem with him. I think that what happened to him in his tag team match the Sons of the South was jacked up. Sons of the South, I love those country summa bitches..I bet they make a hella pot of grits! Anyway, getting a “Donkey Punch” when you are kind of expecting it is one thing, but from your partner after you just took the pin that’s jacked up. I hope he gets revenge. Maybe he can conjure up some kind spell and make Knuckles walk backwards or mess up his taste buds to make him think that excrement tastes like cotton candy? I don’t believe in that crap, but I would find that mildly amusing. I won’t punch you in the back of the head, hell I won’t punch him at all. I am not Grey so he will not be dragging me around the ring like he did him. I won’t cheap shot him what I will do is bring him back to reality. I will bring him out of the darkness and into light and show him that old relics are only worth what some will pay for them which is nothing. I will show him that style and substance are more important than things that go bump in the night. I am glad this match isn’t in Salem..I would be in trouble!! I have really been unfair to Sméagol, I mean Igor, Ivor *laughing*he really isn’t that bad. He has all the right weaponry and he got drafted to Overdrive after this and while I hate to send him there with an “L” I have no choice. I have watched him and he has shown himself to be worthy competitor and a warrior. I write all of these things in jest I will take him seriously and I won’t make the same mistakes I made against Envi.
Envi keeps popping up in my head. I don’t understand it. Envi took me task last Monday and while he said that he would not be the wily veteran giving lessons, whether he wanted to or not… he did. My matches with Envi are providing the foundation for my career in APW from an experience standpoint. I will use what I learned in the ring against Envi and I’ll apply on Ivor. I will mimic the way he shifts his weight slightly as you try to put him in compromising situation. They way he’ll casually slide out of the ring when the action gets too heavy. The “smooth” way he can frustrate you with his mind games and trash talk. I am taking notes and I am learning in the ring and out. I am frustrated that I can’t get over the hump and get that elusive singles “W”. I am going to take out all of my frustrations on him. I can only hope and pray I don’t hurt him badly. I don’t think that his mystical powers and dark forces can save him from the wrestling lesson he’s about to get from “The Smooth One”!
As say goodbye to Meltdown family and fans, I do so reluctantly, but I will leave them with something they can remember. The Smooth One will come into Albany, NY to the love and adulation of the APW faithful. I will come to town ready and prepared to give this crowd a dynamic performance. I t will be a thing of beauty, a work of art per se’ and Mr. Famori will be my canvas. As I conclude the Meltdown chapter of my career, I begin to write the first pages of the chapter titled “Standing on my own two feet” come Monday those two feet will be on the back of Ivor Famori and my last night on Meltdown will be victorious.
NIGHT NIGHT!!!
