[glow=red,2,300]“The moment you are ready to quit is the moment right before a miracle is about to happen”[/glow]
The Smooth Journal: - The Asylum Promotion/ The Company of Like Minded Men
This has been another tough week. A hard fought match versus Ivor Farmori, but alas another loss. I don’t have time to even sulk because I have to get ready to make the move to Asylum. It is funny as I think about how short a time I have been in APW. I remember when I arrived in APW and made my debut on Meltdown. I think about the people who came in at the same time that I did that wrestled one match and “POOF” gone!! The loss impacted them so severely that they quit. They could not learn from the adversity they could not grow from being humbled. I don’t like to lose who does, but I am not perfect…no one is and disappointment is part of life, you just have to dig deeper and fight harder. You don’t quit, you don’t pack up and go home!! You watch the footage and see what you did wrong and try not to make those mistakes again. You go to them gym and you work harder and most of all you hold your head up high and walk like a KING, because I don’t care what anybody thinks when they see me I ooze CHAMPION. It’s not arrogance it is confidence. I believe in myself and while I might not have a belt or any high profile victories my time is coming and the promotion to Asylum is where it is all about to happen.
I knew when I came to Meltdown that I was going to get promoted to Asylum however I had no idea it would be so quickly. The whole time I was on Meltdown I tried to work and hard as I could. I knew this phase of my career was temporary and now that I am on Asylum, I will not rest on my laurels, I will not pack up and I will not quit. I have watched other professional athletes get their promotion or their new contract and start to dial it in. They don’t understand that NOW they have to work even harder!! They do not understand that they have a responsibility to the fans, family and if nothing else themselves. I won’t ever be the guy they look at on the roster and say that “oh Smooth doesn’t care anymore” he is laying down, he doesn’t care anymore. When lace them up and walked down that aisle the will say he went all out and gave 100% and that he left it all in the ring!
I plan to make a big splash on Asylum and my first opponent is Yarmouth in the Tap Out Gauntlet seeding match. He may or may not remember me, but we had a few moments in the Japanese Death Match in One Night in Hell. I did not forget that he was responsible for my elimination from that match. He is a big dude, well he is tall and he maybe one of the few people on Asylum that may have a power edge on me. He is a brawler and well not a nice person..I am sure he would just assume punch me in the face than to wrestle me. Well they’ll be none of that…I am going to have to give the big FELLA a refresher course in wrestling. He, Raab and TJ have been beating each other’s brains in and I think they may have forgotten their craft. I am going to take him down to the mat and keep him grounded. I do not want to find myself the next fella choked out. I’ll focus on those 6’9 inch legs and eventually slap him in the OTS and while I know he is tough, but I hope his toughness doesn’t override common sense and he taps out.
There seems to be an interesting trend in APW with the talent. There are a lot of damn orphans and men who have problems with women. I can understand Yarmouth’s problem he does have a face that only a mother could love..WAIT…his mother didn’t love it either…thus an orphan? Ha Ha Ha! I certainly josh about mothers and orphans, but honestly I don’t understand how you cannot love the female form, there is certainly some tremendous female talent in APW…I cannot wait to see Sally and Jess mix it up. I think that after this night is over I’ll take Yar out and introduce him to some women and show him how it is done. The Smooth One can even get Yarmouth laid!!
I certainly have a lot of respect for Yar he is a legend. If find myself in a dark alley I’d certainly like to have him on my side…He is a bad ass. The question I have to answer how do you stop one of the baddest MF’s in APW. I love the challenge and when I stand eye to eye…ummm eye to throat I am going to show Yar and the APW fans again why I was promoted to Asylum.
A lot of people come into this business think you have instant success. Sometimes you are put into a place where you are surrounded by success. You are put in a place where you can view what success is that is how you become successful by being in the company of like minded men. I have been in the ring with nothing but champions, legends and the best of APW. I consider that being in the company of like minded men…if you don’t face the best how can you be the best? How can you become the champion if you don’t face the champion? How do you become a legend …you beat one!

The Smooth One takes a few days off after last week’s Meltdown. The scene catches a father and son having a bit of lunch before one flies off to Hollywood and the other off to Cleveland.
It is a beautiful sunny day in Maryland…much too warm for this time of year, but it is a great day to dine al fresco.
Hey Son..How are you feeling?
I am good Dad thanks for asking. It’s been a long week. Every since I’ve been in APW I have wrestled every week so the fact that a Monday has come and gone and I haven’t been in the ring is a little weird.
What’s a little weird is this sandwich….it’s got mayo on it! You know I don’t like mayo!!
It’s ok Dad…. just scrape it off.
Scrape it off…Scrape it off…I ask for no mayo…I don’t want any mayo on my sandwich. I want bread…turkey..lettuce..American cheese and mustard…NOT MAYO.
Here Dad!!.. just take mine…
I don’t want your sandwich I wan't mine made correctly.
Please don’t make a scene? The Smooth One twitches because he knows his father is bananas
Don’t make a scene…don’t make a scene?? Did I make a scene when Envi was beating your head in? Did I make a scene when Uncle Fester put a boot to your skull? Did I make a scene when you were a baby and you dug in you pamper and put poop in your hair??
WHAT THE ….Hey woooo Pops..calm down!How are you going to put that in the universe like that? THe Smooth One does not put poop in hair as a child or as an adult!!!
You don’t tell me to calm down!!…I am Lando Calrissian!…I am Mr. "Don’t let the Smooth taste fool you"! I made you the Smooth One and you are going to tell me to calm down. You think you just woke up and were SMOOTH..No sir...I remember when you used to walk around in a black belt and brown shoes!!
I want my sandwich!! GARCONES’ I said GARCONES’!!!!
It’s garcon.
Are you correcting me? Don’t make me get my blaster!
Yes Sir..How can I help you?
I asked for my sandwich with no mayo on it and guess what..it has MAYO on it. whole grain bread…turkey..lettuce..American cheese and mustard!! You know I have high blood pressure and gout?
The SMOOTH ONE grabs his head and is totally embarassed
Ummm Dad mayo has nothing to do with those things…
You mind your business…I know what my conditions are and mayo inflames them. See this twitch it’s the mayo twitch….every time I get close to mayo I get this twitch. All lawd my prostate is fluttering.
Dad!!!
Sir…we can make you a new sandwich?
Too late!!!
*KERPLUNK…The Papa Smooth has passed out*
Dad ..get up!!
Is that you Matilda? I can see you …there is like a bright shining light behind you!! I knew we’d be together! You look so young??
The waitress is not named Matilda and the bright light you see is SUN.!!!! If you don’t get your dramatic crazy self up!
*Papa Smooth struggles to get up and Smooth lends him a hand*
You OK…
yes I am fine…my prostate itches, but I am ok. Did you see the cameras?
What?..what cameras?
There are hidden cameras everywhere?
What are you talking about?
Son, I am on real House Dads of Hollywood?
What!!
Yes I have been on it for a few weeks..every since you started wrestling? They approached me with the idea and well I was in between movies…you know episode 7 hasn’t started filming yet and well people aren’t drinking much Colt 45 anymore.
That is why you’ve been visiting me while I’ve been on tour..you old scoundrel you!!
A mans gotta make a living son..besides I get to fly first class to every where you wrestle?
So wait you are going to be following me around the country…around the world?
Yes Sir…maybe one of these days you’ll win and I can hold my head up high! I am the laughing stock on the show!
Wait who else’s father is on this show?
Well there is Todd Bridges’ dad, Ryan Seacrest’s dad, Lindsey Lohan’s dad, Lionel Ritchie and Justin Beiber.
Justin Beiber?? Justin Beiber isn't anyone’s father?
Justin Beiber is Justin Beiber’s father…some kind of genetic experiment? I am not going to tell you..you have to watch the show.
What? I am the reason you are on the show tell me!
I don’t understand all of that techno, lab geek, sci fi mumbo jumbo?
You were a part of the one of the most successful science fiction franchises of all time.
Where’s my sandwich?
What?
I am so hungry!
Oh no you are going to tell me how Justin Beiber had sex with himself to make the perfect boy/girl hybrid baby child thing!!
*KERPLUNK…The Papa Smooth has passed out*
Oh no you get yourself up…
I am sick son…I need help. Hey aren’t you wrestling Yarmouth this week?
What?
Yarmouth…aren’t you wrestling Yarmouth?
Yes….
Fella!!
What?
Fella!
Why are using Yarmouth’s catch phrase?
I saw him wrestle TJ. He’s awesome! He looks tall Is he is tall…Like Chewbecca! Hey give him my number I can get him a job they need wookies!
I thought you were hungry.
I am , but don’t distract me I am think I can get him in episode three..
You mean 7.
Are you correcting me again?
Yes..No…nevermind!!! Do you have any tips on helping me defeat Yarmouth?
Yes…you have to chop him down to size …get him on the mat. You are pretty good with grappling and submissions. Shelly learned you well. You know he was an ewok?
Focus Dad…
Yes..sorry. I think you can win…try not to get kicked in the face or choked out and you should be fine.
Thanks Dad….
Sir here is you the sandwich you order…extra mayo right?
KERPLUNK!!!!
DAMN!!
