'Mmmm, that smells good'
Anthony James has arrived at the IWC arena in Long Island, NY, his gym bag thrown over his left shoulder, he makes his way into the locker room ready to prepare for the show. taking a deep breath in, AJ places his bag down in front of the locker with his name on it, he begins to empty a few items out onto a bench.
A baseball bat; a crowbar and a set of brass knuckles.
Looking around the locker room he makes his way over to a table and manouveres it so it is set up in front of him, he moves to the corner of the room and fetches a steel chair, opening it up and sitting down next to the table. He reaches out to the bench and moves the items onto the table in front of him.
'So this is what it feels like to be back..'
'I personally didn't think I would be stepping back inside a locker room so quickly in my life, especially not this side of 2011. I had promised myself that i would take a much deserved break, but i guess there is something that keeps pulling you back in no matter how far you distance yourself from it. The cheers from the fans; the surrounding ladies looking for a night of fun with a star; the enjoyment you get from putting your neck on the line week in, week out, there are just some things that make it worthwhile.'
'I may have sounded a little negative before, but to me its always the same in a new environment, you have to look out for number one because no one else will. Its a dog eat dog world out there, and if you 'don't watch your own back then no one will. I am confident that the IWC will become very homely fo me, i have no doubts about that, it just all depends on how long i take to acclimatise and find my feet.'
'I for one do not think this will be long, but as with this Battle Royale i am participating in, I do not expect much. I am not now, nor have i ever been a fan of multiple wrestler matches, it makes it too easy for the unexpected to happen. The best man never usually wins and evil prevails as they look forward to say they are actually good at what they do.'
'What they have to realize is that they probably are a mediocre wrestler who has made a living off being that cheat; that person that the fans despise because they are unable to get the job done properly and only rise through the ranks with their back handed ways. Don't get me wrong, if my personality was twisted, i would probably try and do the same thing, but because my heart is still beating, and my soul is kind i look to get things done properly and honestly.'
'I have been told before that i am too nice for this sport and maybe I should look elsewhere for my enjoyment, but there is something that keeps on pulling me back in; maybe its because I am a sucker for punishment, or maybe its just because this is my life.’
Picking the Ball bat up from the table, AJ begins softly swing it through the air, the next swing a little harder than the last.
‘I may have been mad at my agent for signing me up here, but just by entering the building i have so many memories come rushing back, the smell in the air just screams show time and i know that the curtains are about to be raised and the show is only just beginning. Its times like this that make me grateful for what i have; grateful for who i am; I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the support from my family and friends, and you can count on the fact that there will be people in the very near future that will wish i wasn’t here in IWC and had never shown my face.’
‘Already i have been hearing the rumors in the back that Anthony James isn't cut out for the IWC and i should head for the nearest exit; i have also heard that i am turning heads because i have people on the back foot, over preparing themselves for what they are about to encounter; the thing is there is no preparation that can prepare them for what they are about to endure. I have stated before that everyone is quite happily setting themselves up to swing whatever weapon that can in the ring, and although I have the weapons in front of me, I have no intention of actually using them.’
‘To bring pain with a weapon, shows no skill;’
‘To bring pain with your ability shows pure talent’
‘I am here to show the IWC that there is more to the violence in the ring, I am here to demonstrate that a real wrestler can be successful without wielding a piece of metal or lump of wood.’
‘I may have a slightly different attitude from before, but i guess that i must realize by now that i am one of the most unemployable wrestlers at the moment; sure we all have our deep dark pasts and secrets, but i have nothing to be ashamed of; you could just say that i have one of those egos that is usually flawed when keeping it in check.’
‘I am not a bad guy, some people just choose to dislike me.’
‘Rather like most of the IWC locker room will; I am almost certain that i can piss 6 of them off in one foul swoop.’
‘Madok Mortalis, “Judo Jimmy”, The Diva of Extreme” Isabella Pazzini, Harry Durden, “The Barbed Wire Buzzsaw” and Amber Stevens.’
‘Excellent, I can reel off a list of my opponents.’
AJ smirks as he knows that each and every one of his opponents has him marked to dispose of early, unfazed he plays with the set brass knuckles in his hand.
‘I can imagine them hating me right now, saying how they will bring my world crashing down at Massacre on 34th street; how they will do this and that to me eliminating me from the Battle Royale; i have heard it all before and it never gets old.'
'There always comes a day when you are able to predict what your opponents will say about you, especially when you are the new guy on the scene. It's a good thing that i can hear these rumors before the match because i know I have them on the back foot, they are scared because they do not know what to expect from me, which is a good thing. The mere point that I have already got my name drilled into their heads makes me smile because that shows that I have already made an impact here in IWC. For me, my job is nearly complete; I don't need to win this Battle Royale to become successful; I don't need to become a champion on the night..'
'Why?'
'Because I can do all of that in the upcoming months. I have said it before, and i will say it again, I don't need to win at Massacre on 34th Street, I just merely need to survive. I need to be able to come back and wrestle again; I need to be able to get the support of the fans behind me, so as long as i manage to survive this, I am happy..''
'I am happy because I know that i may just learn to like it here.'
'So to me, it doesn't matter if I leave this arena a champion, because I know that day will be coming soon..'
'Very soon'
