♬Well I won't back down♬
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from dragging me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey yeah, I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down
{Prologue}
What more can be said about what has happened to Joseph Johnson he has been slumping up and down an emotional roller costar over the last few weeks.

After his most recent lost to possibly his his arch enemy Level One Joseph left the arena that night a shaken and some what disturbed man. We hasn’t been able to get much insight on the changed “Innovator Of Excellence” who once was a outspoken and courageous person it seems as if he has now turned into a man hell bent on turning his life around. How will the man handle the monumental match that he will be partaking in at Overdrive featuring a who's who list of APW Key Players and rising young talent. Will the charismatic man showcase his new ways or will the same recent outcome that he has had continue. All this and more will be answered on Overdrive.
||:Excellent Blogging||
As I sit her in front of my computer and recap my historic legendary wrestling career I have come to the conclusion that this point and time has been the worst drought and suffrage I have ever endured in my career. I have clearly gone from being the man that everybody has paid to come and performed my craft to being just another name that had once been a big champion. The names that get thrown around now are Level One,Terry Marvin, CJ Gates among others all those names have one thing in common they are associated with adjectives like Main Eventer, Greatest Today among other things. . And when I think of it… The name Joseph Johnson now is being associated with the words washed up, Has-been, Loser. The man that helped built Wrestling up with a never say die image is now looked down upon on. To think all that hard work I have done has gone in vain or has it? You see for the vast majority of months I have talked about how much I’m willing to do, how much I’m willing to bleed and suffer to gain back my rightful status as someone who can carry a company, but when I truly think about it I haven’t done none of it. It has been all talk, but no action and in the world anybody can talk but it takes a whole lot more to back up exactly what you say and I honestly can say I haven’t backed up one word, but that all changes come July 25th. Come Overdrive I plan on showing up not just to win that match but to prove to the world that what I have said has and not will go into vain. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. and I plan on starting a new Come Thursday and I promise you there will be nobody in that ring that can delay Excellence.
ACTone | “The Innovator Of Excellence” & Pablo Gonzalez | Mexico,Mexico City
The heat was sweltering; he rolled down the window of the black SUV that he was driving in as he stared at the locals. Joseph Johnson had never been in Mexico City before and if things continued to go as they had been, he wouldn’t be visiting anytime soon. The city itself was kind of dirty; the beauty of downtown was not able to hide the filth of the barrios that populated most of the city. Joseph spit out the window as he rolled it back up, he turned to see his translator, guide, trainer and legendary luchalibre; Pablo Gonzalez, better known as Tiger Feet. Gonzalez was staring at him and shook his head in disbelief.
TIGER FEET
I don’t know why you don’t give this city a chance Joseph, you see but only one side of life that Mexico City has to offer.
INNOVATOR
Why should I give a city a chance that I’ve been told not to drink the water or even eat the salads? Why should I give a city that is proud to show its poor and sick and that does nothing about the crime a chance?
TIGER FEET
You are as ignorant as you are thick headed, Mexico City is not like the United States Joey. Things are run differently down here and the way of life down here is completely different from that of America.
The Innovator didn’t respond and continued to look out the windows, his eyes were drawn to a group of children playing baseball with nothing more than a old, torn ball and a thin stick. Maybe Tiger Feet was right, maybe life down here was different than what Joseph was used to in the United States, but he was here to wrestle, not to try and solve the problem of poverty and crime within Mexico City, leave that to someone who can make a difference.
The SUV finally stopped at a dilapidated building somewhere in downtown Mexico City, well clear of the poorer sections, yet taking a look upon this building, you would have thought otherwise.
Both men entered the arena and the lights were turned on by someone in an unseen part of the gym, Joseph's eyes adjusted to the lights as he took his sunglasses off and looked around, it was nothing short of a temple to wrestling and to the legendary Mexican luchadores. Posters littered the walls as did pictures of legends such as the Blue Demon and El Santo, two of the greatest to ever grace the squared circle. Joey was overwhelmed at the sudden onset of the history that he had stepped into, it was if he stepped back in time.
He looked on his shoulder and brushed the dust that had settled on him as he walked into the gym; he placed his bag down and sat on a rickety chair, waiting for Pablo to return to him. Joseph took off his shirt and started to stretch, not wanting to injure any part of himself before another one of the biggest matches of his career. Regardless of the situation and regardless of where he has found himself, he was always a part of the biggest matches in Wrestling history, no matter if he cared for the cause or not. In this case, Joseph Johnson had no care for who won the match, he wanted to revenge his hurt girlfriend Koryn and to take out Level One for good.
Gonzalez walked over to Joseph and motioned him to enter the ring, Joey knew what was coming as both men started to lap the ring. Nothing was going to slow him down; the fire within Joseph was burning too intensely for him to even stop. After a short retirement, Joseph Johnson was left with time to think of what mattered most to him in life, he realized that regardless of what he was going through, wrestling was his life and it would continue to devour him until he had nothing else to surelygive.
He thought to his upcoming match against six other megastars, he knew that each and every other man had ulterior motives within the match and that they had they had other factors driving them. Joseph Johnson had nothing other than his love for the sport, nothing else other than personal glory to gain from this match. He didn’t care about fame and fortune, he was the Champion numerous times before, and he had no quarries with any other superstar. No, this match wasn’t for Joseph Johnson to conquer old demons, this match was, personally to Joseph, a shot to show everyone that he was still the top dog in the Wrestling Business.
He and Pablo finally stopped running, the elderly wrestler bent over a little and took a couple of deep breaths before looking up at Joseph who was smirking at him.
TIGER FEET
What is so funny Joseph, you think that I can run like you can run…Mira chico, back when I was your age, I’d be running circles around you.
Joseph Johnson said nothing but roll his eyes, Pablo looked at him and scoffed, he motioned for Joey to start grappling with a younger wrestler. Johnson gazed upon the wrestler and sighed, he was sick of sparring with people thinking he's ready for revenge now, but he was sorely wrong as the young luchadore took him down quickly, much to the pleasure of Gonzalez. Joseph Johnson looked up at the kid, enraged seeing him as Level One and can't see why he did that to him, he immediately shot up and took him down with a hip toss, throwing in choke hold for good measure.
TIGER FEET
Look Joseph, your anger is going to be your downfall in any match, what are you going to do when you wrestle and try to perform with a clouded mind, you must relax.
Joseph Johnson wasn’t listening to Pablo as he let the kid back to his feet, the younger wrestler rolling his neck around and feeling around it, realizing that it would bruise soon. Johnson moved towards him as the kid backed away, trying to find a better advantage. He instead tried to attack “The Innovator” who caught his leg and immediately locked him into the Achilles Leg Lock that had won Joey many matches in his glory days. The young wrestler started to scream in pain as he moved towards the ropes, Johnson pulling him away as he applied pressure to his Achilles tendon, slowly ripping it away from the leg bone.
TIGER FEET
Johnson enough, let him go…..JOHNSON!
Joseph wasn’t listening again as he still gripped the Achilles tendon, he would have not let go if Gonzalez had not stepped into the ring and kicked him off of the kid. Joseph got up and pushed Pablo, asking him what his problem was. Gonzalez shook his head at Joseph and walked away, Joseph wasn’t finished with him but he was stopped by the young wrestler who’s leg he was trying to tear apart. The kid looked at Joseph and slapped him across the face as he started to yell at him in Spanish. Gonzalez had turned around and looked in shock at the scene that was transpiring, Joseph finally turned his face back to the kid and immediately clocked him with a hard right hand, dropping him to the mat. He wasn’t done as he jumped on top of him and started to jab at his face, blood pouring out of his nose and mouth. He was finally thrown off of him by everyone in the gym, with the wrestling legend now yelling at him in Spanish.
TIGER FEET
Cuál es su problema, él es solamente un cabrito y usted lo está atacando como eso? Usted es patético!
Joseph didn’t understand what he was saying nor did he care what he was saying. He started to walk towards his equipment and was about to start packing up when Pablo stopped him again to talk.
TIGER FEET
You know what Joey, I don’t care what you’ve accomplished or who you are, there was no need for that.
THE INNOVATOR
No need…he slapped ME across the face, that LEVEL ONE clone whoever he laid his god damn hands on me. Believe me Pablo, there was more than a need for that. Because let me tell YOU this now , I don’t care who YOU are or what YOU’VE accomplished, I won’t stand for something like that to happen to me. I've worked so hard to provide for me and mine. Now she's in a hospital bed because i'm of pieces of shit like that..... I am “The Innovator Of Excellence”. My name means Wrestling in vice versa. This shouldn't be happening to me...
TIGER FEET
Get out Joseph.
Joseph Johnson was already on his way out, he had grabbed his stuff and beckoned for his ride to take him to the hotel where the rest of his Excellent Entertainment crew were staying. Joseph Johnson was hating Mexico City more and more he was there, he wanted to leave as quickly as possible but he knew that wasn’t to be the case. He had a match coming up and needed the training, one that he would not miss, one that would change the minds of many.
ACTtwo | "The Innovator Of Excellence" | Miami,Florida
It was a APW Overdrive house show in Miami,Florida that appeared to be nothing to eventual.The masses of people did not expect the “Innovator Of Excellence” to return.The lights in the arena shut off for a few moments. And then the familiar upstart of "Radioactive" began to thunder through out the whole entire building."The Innovator" Joseph crept out through the curtain his average physique clinging from his attire as he walked smiling towards the ring. The commentators did not know what to take of this as Joseph Johnson wasn't listed as appearing at this House Show.
DARREN HARVEY
This capacity crowd is on their feet for "The Innovator”. Even after all he's been through the people still support him. He's been outspoken on Overdrive television for weeks. Sources claim he has some screws loose after witnessing his girlfriend Koryn get injured.
Joseph Johnson continues to smile as he reaches the ring steps creeping up them as the crowd are still in utter shock of his surprise appearance. Not only is he at an Overdrive house show but he is in front of his people.
JOHNNY CHASE
“The Innovator" does not look like he missed a proverbial step after the match with Level One a few days ago. The capacity crowd are in awe of this spectacular specimen. From his battles with Level One to his claiming of bringing Real Wrestling back to these people. The man you see in that very ring is Joseph Johnson! And I hate him a lot, but these people sure see something in him. I don't know what it is though.
Joseph Johnson stands in the middle of the squared circle for the first time since the vicious encounter with Level One. He is humbled to be in front of his hometown. Without shedding a single tear gently wiping his eyes after removing his sunglasses. He puts them in the lining of his expensive suit and looks around at the crowd before speaking into a microphone.
THE INNOVATOR
I guess hell froze over as "The Innovator" is back in his hometown of Miami,Florida! You see guys I have been going through a lot of things. I do not feel angry because of you guys...No. Everything wrong is because of me acting like a early thirty year old baby. You see I never had a problem with anyone. Then it all went uphill when Level One put his hands on my girlfriend. I see that people want me to be the next Overdrive champion, but I don't know if I can represent this brand the way you guys want me to represent it. The fight of the dog is all but out. The light in my eyes are twinkling all types of goodbyes. The road to victory has been shut off with people thinking i'm not capable of the top spot in APW. I have no idea how this is my fate. I don't get why i'm here still, the business I love but Koryn I love more. I swear i'll have revenge. And maybe the Overdrive title will make me reconsider this fork in my road. Maybe i'll see a good future leading this brand as a man of Honor, Integrity & Morals. I did a lot of dirty things earlier this week. But, my mind is clear and I want to repent my sins. Tonight in front of my fans in Miami,Florida i'd like to make a vow. That'll I will never let revenge blind my morality to be a good.... cross that a great man.
The crowd are chanting his name knowing he was right. The Real Joseph Johnson was of course standing in the middle of that ring. Joseph paced around the ring before speaking again.
THE INNOVATOR
You see an true Innovator is supposed to be able to make things anew and does not have a collar around his neck. Forget the people in the APW headquarters trying to force feed you about me needing a spotlight. I was always in the spotlight, I mean in a room full of Megastars there is only one INNOVATOR. And this Innovator has been eating table scraps waiting for a chance to again feed on the energy you guys give me. The energy that made me the most dominant athlete in sports entertainment history. Without you then my career wouldn't be possible. And I think it's time to give back to the fans who've made my life nothing short of Excellent.
Joseph Johnson loosens up his tie and begins to remove his suit jacket. He places his suit jacket on the ground before picking up the microphone once more.
THE INNOVATOR
They say the clothes don't make the man as he makes the clothes. I am fully behind that theory. As these clothes do not make me the Innovator. Hell, some people do not wear clothes nor do they talk about losses or past regrets. I made a mistake trusting the wrong people, that was against my moral code of who I am. A real man is supposed to walk alone fending for themselves. And I will feed for myself for all of you people who have believed in me before the bright lights and my fame was in place. I want to thank all of you. The time has come not to bitch and moan. Yet, I will go on to great things molding this company in a new expansion. Amy Zing great talent, Wyatt Crash is too. I say all the people i'm facing for the Overdrive championship are great talents. But, they don't have the mark of someone who doesn't let losses get to him. It's not my record that got my strung up is people laying their hands on the people I love. My loved ones and you guys mean more to me than anything you know. President Jeff wanted to see my fire, he wanted me to show my skill. And so be it this is the Main Event opportunity that's been calling my name. Wyatt and I tangoed before in a battle royal, also I have dealt with Adam Mumford as well rather briefly. Outside Evan Envi, Mumford is the only guy I have no love for. He thinks he's the most dangerous individual on this roster. His plate isn't half empty, it is merely half full. He's stepping into a Championship Scramble preaching like all he has to do is show up. But, trust me guys when you hear Mumford last time he'll have trouble speaking. As my boot will be permanently lodged down his arrogant throat. As for Evan he thinks we all should be envious of his success, yes some are envious of you. Though you left this company in a clutter. You surely don't belong here especially as Overdrive champion. This is your lasting impression on us. You leave holding something prestigious hostage. If I can't be World Heavyweight Champion then what's the harm in being the Champion of this great brand. I will bring honor back to the Overdrive name and this brand and all of wrestling shall be Excellent....once more.
The crowd are red hot with enthusiasm for their Hometown hero. A man who has redefined what it means to be a APW megastar. He then removes his white collared shirt along with his tie. He flexes a little before speaking once more for his Hometown.
THE INNOVATOR
I was not a good kid growing up. I did a lot of ignorant things and if it wasn't for American Football and the transition into sports entertainment I'd be dead right now. This business saved my life, some companies passed on me but one gave me a chance to be me. I wasn't the next Pablo Gonzalez, Ernie Brownstone,Silverlust or even The Death Ronin. I was simply "The Innovator Of Excellence" with one thing clearly on his mind and that's win. Not only did I want to win for myself but for the people who entrusted in me their well wishes. So, you ask me what is next? I simply am here to give you fans the real Joseph. No, more misdirections or lying tactics you will get an innovation. For those who want to step up to me know this. I will never back down and I will never quit!!! This is my life and this my passion. I was bred to wrestle and born to me an excellent champion. For it's simple come Overdrive through hell or high water this brand will see me lead it. No more going through the drama of the filth of Level One or a thief like Evan Envi hijacking the Overdrive championship. You was apart of a League of wrestlers that's all but in splinters. I know A.C. Smith and he's nothing like you. Hell, he's better than you. As he has the balls to relinquish a championship if he was on his way out. You are nothing but a weasel and i'm going to make you pop this Overdrive. And if you have any words turncoat i'd simply oblige you with an ass kicking of excellent proportions!!!
Joseph Johnson flexes his muscles climbing up to the turnbuckle as the crowd erupts once again. "The Innovator Of Excellence" yells a grin of intensity once more as he truly returns to prominence.
DARREN HARVEY
Absolute goosebumps every time "The Innovator Of Excellence" shows up on the scene. If this is any indication of what's to come. Then everybody in the back better watch out now as this man is in beast mode. He made it clear that the APW needs the real Innovator. And I think he's right.
