The following takes place in November of 2002, two months after the BQWA(Then the WZWF) debut of two superstars that would go onto become the two longest reigning world heavyweight champions in the feds 7+ years of existence. Adam Edge and Whacko were about as opposite as you can get six years ago. Both men in their early twenties and both men looking to make it big in a federation full of big name superstars. AE was the cocky, charismatic, lean, California kid that was looking to make his name on the faith of the fans. He appeased them at every beckoning, catered to their every needs and for the first year of his career, would never let them down. Whacko was what many would call the definition of a brawler. A tank of a man who many would expect to find at O'Malley's Bar and Grill on a Tuesday for dollar taco night. He had a different idea for making his way to stardom, he would answer to no one and go out every night and put his body on the line to put the opponents body in pain. This is a career move that would quickly become evident after 6 years wiith the company. For one month the two tore at each other like wild dog's at a Michael Vick barbecue and it had all come to a explosive end at the October PPV High Incident. Where Adam had just won a ladder match to win a shot at the Custom title. The match was anything if it was brutal on the two, and this is how they had spent 28 days in a row. What many do not know is that oddly enough, the two were friends outside the ring. This wasn't breaking kayfabe or the two not caring about keeping up with their angle, it's how their relationship always worked. They absolutely hated each other in the ring and always will for the most part, but once the work was done, they understood that they do share one common interest, one common goal and they knew that in orde to reach that goal, they needed each other. Now onto the story... It's the night of High Incident and down the road from the Palace in Auburn Hills sits the perfect dive bar where the superstars go to drink their wounds away. The night had been filled with good times and great matches, but one man was taking his recent loss a bit hard. Whacko was sat on the ground on the west side of the building. The mad man twirled his thumb over the top his now luke warm beer bottle. The scene pans out to show 21 other bottles who have offered the same fate as the one in his hands. Whacko puts the bottle to his lips and tilts his head back, staring up at the sky as he downs the last few ounces. Except, the stars were exceptionally bright tonight…and there seemed to be millions of them surrounding a large moon!!! Oh wait, those aren’t stars…and that’s no moon. It’s the gaping smile and monstrous jaw line of his adversary from earlier that evening, Adam Edge. AE: Oh please tell me you’re drinking Budweiser… Whacko: It is that indeed…is that… AE: Vodka and cranberry… Whacko: Fruit. AE Chubby, mind if I sit? Whacko: Depends, do you have… Adam pulls a frosty cold brew out of his back pocket. Whacko: Seats all yours. Adam sits as Whacko grabs the beer from his hand. He pops the top and takes a long draw from the bottle as AE takes down a gulp of his mixed drink. The two say nothing for what seems like an eternity. Whacko: You bleed like a alcoholic… AE: You threw me through a plate glass window! Whacko: It was single pane bitch. AE: Whatever, you scream like a girl sometimes. Whacko: It’s a vocal condition, good to see where your heart is at. Whatever you still won, so that’s that. AE Yep, that’s that… Whacko: So do you think you’ve got it figured out yet? This business I mean. AE: Dunno man, I think so. I guess I’m sticking with “killing them with kindness.” Whacko: Fuck, please tell me you have a gun that you call “kindness”? AE: Nah man, I mean these fans pay to see us…I entertain them. Make them leave thinking, “damn…that was one hell of a show!” Whacko: I make them do that… AE: Oh yeah, how’s that? How does Whacko entertain the fans? Do you take the time to high five each little kid? How about to have your in ring work outshine your out of the ring antics? Whacko: I’m myself…that’s how I do it. You see Adam, it’s one thing to believe that these fans have anything to do with why you and I are in this fed. Guys like you and me, we’re not here for the paycheck… AE: But we don’t complain about it… Whacko: Amen. The two cheers to wealth and greed, the American dream. Whacko: But like I was saying, it’s not the money, the weekly TV shows or the ladies… AE: But we… Whacko: Yeah, I get it. AE: So why exactly are we here then? Whacko: We’re here because this is what we do, we compete. We want to pass by everyone in that locker room, in any other locker room and any other place of work in the world…and have everyone that lays their eyes on us understand…that we are the absolute best in the world. AE: I never thought about it like that to be honest. Whacko: Of course not, that shampoo has fried your scalp. AE: And that flannel has choked out your senses. Whacko: Either way, if you keep trying to please everyone, you’ll quickly come to realize that they will fail you in the return part of the deal. That kind of thing will drive a person crazy… AE: And you would know crazy. Whacko: And I know crazy and so do you my friend, more so than you think. The scene suddenly snaps to the plush office of Dr. Charlotte Scott. AE lifts his head up off the sofa and takes a shocked, frightened look at his surroundings. Dr. Scott: Talk to me. AE: Apparently I’ve been doing that… Dr. Scott: Yes you have. I asked you to pinpoint the day you first felt as though you were legitimately crazy and that was your response. AE: Well Whacko’s type of crazy is highly contagious. So that makes sense. Dr. Scott: Do you understand that you were speaking as you did back then. No swearing, light hearted, full of humor and not… AE: Joy? Dr. Scott: Sarcasm. But, did you notice that today…right now…you speak like Whacko did then? AE: … Dr. Scott: Exactly. AE: Do you think there’s a reason? Dr. Scott: Nah, I’m just messing with ya! AE: The fuck…? Dr. Scott: You’ve just been scorned and abused by a business. It’s no different than to be treated the same way by a loved one, you know except less important. AE: So…are we done?? Dr. Scott: Not by a long shot, but you’re fixable…as long as… AE: I don’t wrestle anymore. Dr. Scott: Exactly. That’s all for the day. Adam leaves the way he came in, the same way he always does. Down the long punishment corridor, giving him enough time to think about his latest session, and this one wasn’t a fond one for him. The hypnosis was too real, Dr. Scott seemed pleased with the results though. Adam felt that he was actually there though, it was all very surreal to him. The reversed rolls of him and Whacko rung true in his head with each step he took though. Was he today, like Whacko was then? If so, he pitied the group of BQWA superstars that is on the roster now. Because he was ready, waiting for the devil to once again step into the forefront More controlled, more focused than ever… …he was ready to resume his rightful spot on top. And not one damn person is safe. The scene comes to a close. |

Fuck your my hero
I absolutely loved the conversation between you and Whacko. It seemed like two old men reminiscing about the good ol' days. I also like the debate you've been having with yourself on whether or not to come back, it's been good so far
