CZW Ultimate Role Player
|
Mike King and Chris Tolwar are walking towards a building. Tolwar has a neck-brace on based on the previous injury from the Demolition Crew during the last CZW show in America. They pause and look at the building. King pulls his cell phone out his holster and switches it so he can check the address. He swipes through and looks at his cellphone which shows 260 Central Avenue. He looks at the building and sees 260 Central. Tolwar: You ready man? Mike shudders at the thought. King: I don't even know why I need to do this. Getting angry is natural. I was looking for the man that ended my undefeated streak. You know I would have beaten Crypt had it not been for Alan Fiscus. Tolwar puts his hand on Mike's shoulder. Tolwar: Mike, you and I know that. Mike nods. King: Then why it is that I need to? Everyone knows that people get angry. Everyone knows that at some point people get mad as hell and they won't take it anymore. I don't see why me getting so enraged was so wrong. Tolwar stop Mike. Tolwar: You are right. Mike grins at the thought. Tolwar: But you must give them the satisfaction and then they will let you get interviewed by Ryan Lewis. Mike looks at Tolwar. Tolwar: And if not, I hear Maxwell Fabian, the old EWA ring announcer is looking to work. Mike chuckles. King: I have not heard his name in nearly a year. I am sure he is looking for work... Mike rubs his beard. King: Come to think of it, I wonder whatever happened to many of those old EWA guys that have never shown up again either in CEW or CZW. Tolwar chuckles at Mike's comment. Tolwar: Oh like Jack Abraham, Chris Johnson, Jace Champion, Eli Sweeney, Todd Anderson... Mike shrugs his shoulders. King: I have no idea where most of them are. Last I heard Johnson went to Hollywood and is now a screenwriter or something. As for everyone else, I don't know. I think I heard Jace is in Japan. I am thing Nuh Pro Wrestling though I hear they maybe done. Tolwar scratches his head. Tolwar: That sucks, Nuh is pretty good. Well we all know La Diva Gaga is in Magnum Pro and Mexico. Mike nods his head. King: Yeah, I just wrestled him last week in Shinjuku FACE for Magnum. I wonder why CZW never decided to go after him. Tolwar shrugs his shoulders. Tolwar: Who knows. Tolwar raises his finger. Tolwar: Whatever happened to Jason Xavier, he had a bright future ahead of him. Mike looks at Tolwar, his face showing a really expression. King: You idiot, that is Jason X. Tolwar looks shocked. Tolwar: Are you serious? Mike nods. King: Yeah he is going to face Krimzon Blaze for the CZW X Title at Event Horizon. What did you think the X stood for? Tolwar shrugs his shoulders again. Tolwar: I don't know, maybe Xtreme, Xcellent, Xander or something like that. Mike puts his hand over his face and shakes it for a second before seeing it is 12:50 PM. King: Hey man, I gotta go in my appointment. Mike sticks out his hand. Tolwar: Alright man, give 'em hell kid. Mike chuckles as Tolwar gives him a hug. Tolwar: C'mon man, we are brothers. Brothers gotta hug. Mike rolls his eyes. King: I know, I know. Tolwar: No matter what, remember you are doing the right thing even if you don't agree. And hell, you may learn something about yourself that you never knew. Mike backs away. King: You're right. Mike opens the glass door and walks in. Tolwar goes in the distance and King shakes his head when he realizes Tolwar is enough away. King: What an idiot. I love him as a brother but he is an idiot. "You may learn something about yourself that you never knew." I am myself sixty minutes an hour, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year. Mike sees a desk right in front of him. He walks up to the desk and the person at the desk smiles it him. A desk calendar reads December 14, 2012. The man switches from what he is doing to look at King and his business in the building. Man: How can I help you? King: I am looking for Dr. Schroder. Man: Her office is on the fifth floor. Last door on the left. King: Thank you. Mike walks to the elevator bank and hits the up call button. A door opens and he and a woman walks into the elevator along with Mike. Mike looks at the woman and shakes his head disapproving her. He hits the button for the fifth floor. He turns to the woman. King: What floor are you headed to? The woman looks up at Mike. Woman: Seventh. Mike hits the button for the seventh floor. The woman smiles at Mike. Woman: Thank you. Mike nods. King: You're welcome. The woman looks up and down King as the door closes. Woman: You look familiar. I know you from somewhere. Mike smirks. King: I am not sure where you have see someone like me, maybe a rock show because you look like fast company despite the power suit. The woman looks at Mike and realizes where she knows him. Woman: No, no that's not it. Like I would go for that. Mike chuckles. King: Yeah you would. I know you probably are lonely and just crave to be used like a piece of meat even though you claim you want to be treated like a queen. Every woman is like that. The woman rolls her eyes at the comments. Woman: No I am not like that. Gross! Whoever told you that is an idiot. Mike smirks. King: No one told me that, I have experienced it time and time again. You women claim you want the white knight and that you want to be saved from a tower but you really want to be used as a whore by a porn-star. The woman is getting angry. Woman: The only person that is as dumb to say that is a pro-wrestler. The woman quickly raises her finger. Woman: Now I know where you are from. You are a wrestler aren't you? Mike smirks. King: That I am. But Mike's smirk disappears. King: But I am not dumb like you accuse me of being. You are if you truly believe that you truly do not mean what I said. I've seen many woman that claim the same thing you are but you really are not. The woman looks at Mike and realizes who he is. Woman: You are Mike King CZW Intercontinental Champion. Mike smiles. King: A fan I see. Pleasure to meet you. I don't recall you hanging out to be a rat so I take back the fast company comment. Mike eyes the woman before continuing scanning up and down. King: Unless that was when I was fucked up on pills and really drunk. The elevator stops and the light shows it reached the fifth floor. King: Well this is my stop. I got a psychiatrist to see. The woman is pissed and slaps Mike in the face. Woman: How dare you! Mike smirks. King: The slap means it's true. You have an anger problem and not me. Maybe you should be visiting Dr. Schroder and not me. Though I think your anger can be worked out in the bedroom and not on a quack's couch. The woman's face flushes with red as the door closes. Mike shakes his head. King: Slut. Mike walks to the office at the end of the hall. He reaches it and a plaque on the wall reads "Dr. Lucy Schroder" King sighs before he opens the door and walks in side. He walks to the receptionist's desk and she goes from looking at her computer screen to look at Mike. She is blonde and cute. She smiles at him. Receptionist: Hello, I am Jenifer, you must be the 1:00 PM, Michael King... Mike puts up his hand. King: Please, please it's Mike. Michael is my still-born would have been uncle. Mike drops his hand as Jennifer's smile disappears. Jennifer: I am so sorry. Mike puts up his hand again to stop Jennifer. King: Jennifer it is OK. I have come to terms with it. It's just the way things were. I am here for my 1:00 appointment with Dr. Schroder. Jennifer nods. Jennifer: Well sign-in here. Mike signs the sign-in sheet. Jennifer: And I see you filled your information out online so you just sit while I tell Dr. Lucy you are in. Mike nods as Jennifer gets up from her office chair and to the back. King: OK. Mike takes a seat and looks through the magazines on the coffee tables. He thumbs through several different issues of Sports Illustrated, People, Rolling Stone, Time, National Geographic and Entertainment Weekly. He rolls his eyes at the choices offered to him. King: I wonder why doctors never have good magazines. Either they are the loser ones or they aren't issues that aren't interesting. Mike looks up at the ceiling. King: Hey God, it's me Mike King. Is it too much to ask to bring back Weekly World News? I swear we need to hear more stories about Bat Boy instead of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Mike rights his head and shakes his head. At this moment Jennifer is back. Jennifer: Dr. Lucy will see you right now. Mike nods. King: OK. Mike gets up out of his seats and follows Jennifer to the room. King: You know your magazines suck right? Jennifer laughs. Jennifer: You know I mentioned that to Dr. Lucy all the time. How many of the same magazines must we have pure crap. Mike smiles. King: Well that is good to know that I feel the same way as I do. Jennifer opens the door. Jennifer: Well this is your room. Mike nods before entering. King: Thank you Jennifer. Mike walks over to the couch and lays down on it. Jennifer: I'll leave you for Dr. Lucy. I'll see you when you are done. Mike nods. King: I will. Jennifer walks away and King muses over her. King: She looks hot. Woman: Who is hot? Mike turns his head and sees a brunette about 5'7" in heels wearing a blouse and slacks. King: I was just thinking out loud. Mike sees the file folder in her hands. King: You must be Dr. Lucy. Dr. Lucy smiles and does a quick bow. Dr. Lucy: That I am. Dr. Lucy walks over to King and offers her hand. Dr. Lucy: And you must be Mike King. Mike nods. Dr. Lucy: So you are the pro wrestler that was directed to me by my friend Michael Farley. Mike perks up at the comment of the CZW head road agent. King: How do you know him? Dr. Lucy smiles. Dr. Lucy: College. I went for psychology, while he was a professor. Mike looks confused but it all goes. King: He was a professor? Somehow that actually makes sense. Dr. Lucy nods. Dr. Lucy: Yeah, I know what you mean. He does seem like a professor. I had him for a psychology course and we became friends. Mike nods. King: Good to know. Dr. Lucy sits down and has a pen ready to write stuff down. Dr. Lucy: So I have that you are seeking help because your company is not looking to work with you. Mike rolls his eyes. King: Well yeah, apparently a promotion that has ultra-violence you can't be angry when you feel screwed over. God forbid you get angry over something in a promotion that uses light-tubes, barbed-wire, thumbtacks and all sorts of weapons. Dr. Lucy stops writing. Dr. Lucy: Tell me what happened. Mike is showing anger. King: I was facing a man who interfered against me during a match about six weeks ago. I was looking to continue my impressive win streak. Where in singles matches I have not lost a single match. I had a draw with the interference but quite frankly I was unbeaten until I lost this one. And I only lost it when Alan Fiscus, the man I face at Event Horizon, a man I have history with and a man I have not beaten ever, interfered. He stuck his nose in and hit me with a roll of quarters. I admit he may not have intended to hit me but he did. Without that attack I may be still CZW's longest running undefeated superstar. Dr. Lucy jots that down. Dr. Lucy: So you are angry over being screwed. That seems normal to get angry about that. What did you do after it? King: I looked for Alan and I ran into several people including Ronnie Del Rio, Sim Simaela, Mr. Sugamoto, The Demolition Crew, and Ryan Lewis. I as just trying to look for Alan and explain my displeasure about what happened and that at Event Horizon the glove was coming off because he forced my hand. However whether he had friends to meet at Ribera's Stakehouse, a bar or he was a chicken and didn't want to hang around I could not find him but I found everyone else. All they wanted to tell me was the same thing I did not want to hear. "Oh it was an accident." The fact is, accident or not he screwed me out of a match that without that interference I would have won. You know the last thing you want to hear at that point is "It was an accident." Dr. Lucy nods as she continues to write what King is saying down. King: So I got angry by the time I found Ryan Lewis and needed to be separated from him. I realize now I was in the wrong but I believe it was justified and not that Mike King needs anger management like the office thinks. Dr. Lucy finishes writing. Dr. Lucy: That does sound justifiable. Do you see where they are coming from though? Mike nods. King: I do but I don't agree with it. Dr. Lucy nods. Dr. Lucy: Fair enough, just so I can an idea of who I am talking to and analyzing. Tell me about your childhood. Mike closes his eyes to think. King: I had a normal childhood. I had a mother, a father and a brother. Unlike many families my mom and dad were married and never divorced. We spent a lot of time together as a family going to a trailer park that my aunt and uncle owned, theme parks, movies, monster truck shows and wrestling events. Wrestling has been my life since I was four & 1/2 and saw my first event. By the next summer I was hooked and watched every Saturday at noon after cartoons, every Sunday at noon and tapes of events from Monday nights. I was a Boy Scout. However school was OK for me. I wasn't popular and I was kind of a loner but I was never the trademark sociopath. I was a normal kid. I am not sure if I was in the box you deem "normal" but I never was one to worry about. I always wanted to be a wrestler. That was my goal. The only reason I have my degree is because it was an agreement between me and my parents. I have my training so long as you go to school. Dr. Lucy writes everything down. Dr. Lucy: OK, what did everyone think about it? Mike rubs his arm before answering. King: They were let down but supportive. If I were to drop out and did it on my own, it would be worse off with my parents but they offered me the bargain and I held up my end of the deal. We all know the American dream is to graduate high school, graduate college, get a good paying job and have a family. For me, my job is rough and dangerous but I am in a better position than a lot of people. As I am sure you see with a lot of your patients, there are a lot of people that took that track and find themselves questioning themselves. Me I knew I wanted to be a wrestler so it drove me to go through college and then I was able to wrestle while going to school. Then I became a wrestler training with Steve Bambino, that's where I know Nick Stevens from. He is one half of the Demolition Crew. We were in the same class but I left not long after I had my first match to debut for WIF. I just walked into it and they helped me train. I guess Nick is still jealous of that that I got the chance and he didn't but I wouldn't complain if I were him, he has had more success in Japan than I could ever expect because quite frankly I love to do shorter stays and continue living in America. Mike pauses to allow Dr. Lucy to catch-up. King: I really enjoy traveling the world and being able to do what I love while I do it. It is so liberating and freeing. Dr. Lucy nods and finishes jotting down notes. Dr. Lucy: It does sound liberating to do what you love all around the world and to go from one country to another based on which one you want to go to and which one is offering the best deal. Tell me about your relationships with women. Mike shakes his head as regret enters his mind. King: They never last. Either don't approve of it from the start and we go out a date or two and we go our separate ways, they want to be with someone famous until they realize it is not as glamorous as they thought. That or we date for a while and they hope they can change me. I guess it is the motherly instinct in them. They expect in time that I could change for them. After sometime they think I will change and become that man of their dreams. They don't take what I do as a real job. It's real to me. It's damn real to me. Dr. Lucy writes everything down. Dr. Lucy: Understandable, it is more serious to people who do it than those on the outside much like other professions. What do you think when you meet women? King: After the obvious is she right personality questions and are we a match with world views. I wonder if she is like the rest when it comes do my living. I wonder if she is just like the others and that she either does not accept it or will act like it and really just wants me to change. That if we date and she finds out wrestling is my life that she will leave me because they want me to get a "real job" just like everyone else. But this is my job. Most people don't follow their dreams anymore, especially in this economy. Dr. Lucy jots down everything Mike is saying. Dr. Lucy: I will give you that. You have lived your dreams in a way most people never do at all. Mike nods and smiles. Dr. Lucy: Why is it that they don't like to be with a pro-wrestler? Both in your opinion and in general. Mike raises his right hand to his brow. King: In General. Dr. Lucy smirks as King lowers his hand. Dr. Lucy: Funny. But seriously, because you are the first pro-wrestler to seek me for help, I want to know what it is like. Mike nods. King: That's fine. As I know from other wrestlers, being on the road ruins relationships. Normal wrestlers who wrestle three/four shows a week or weekend are not around. You are home anywhere from one day to three days week and you are typical tired from the road and you do not want to do much. You don't want to go out on a date night. You don't want to see movies in theaters. You don't want to do anything but stay home. Mike pauses and allows for Dr. Lucy to finish up. She puts the pen to her lips to let Mike know she is ready for him to continue. King: I had a long-distance girlfriend before I was a wrestler and the distance was an issue. It's just magnified by being away and if you are like me, going and spending a few weeks to month or two in England, Germany, Mexico or Japan. I mean you have Skype and what not but that does not satisfy every need that you need in a relationship. You want to be held, you want to be with them and also share everything with that person. It is only human. However the problem is being a pro-wrestler is like being a pro athlete or a musical act. You are away plying your craft in one city tonight and normally it's a different city the night before and you'll be in yet another tomorrow night. Most women have jobs women outside the wrestling business so they are not able to be on the road with us. So we leave them at home to deal with "reality" while we deal with trying to make money and on the smaller levels, you are often losing money but that is your passion. Then one day you get the call and you get the chance to go to the big time whether it is a CZW or CEW. Dr. Lucy nods. Dr. Lucy: So Basically it is like being a rockstar? Mike nods. King: Correct just rather than sing, we go out and put our bodies on the line for little to no money or if you are lucky, a good amount of money. Dr. Lucy nods as she jots everything down. Dr. Lucy: I can see why that is a problem. Mike put his hand up. King: And I understand that. But then I look at the world. Too many people today live on what ifs and might have beens. People cannot be entrepreneurs as much as they use to unless they want to do a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign. Angel investors are hard to come by, venture capitalists are good but only if you can find one. And if you have an idea, it better be one that wont flame out. So many people don't have that choice and they don't have the ability to go back to school to learn a new skill that is needed because their existing skills are not in need. Take me for example. If I were to give up my dream and go out and try to make it in the real world my degree in business management won't get me anywhere right now. It is all about experience now. However I can't get experience with the degree because companies expect me to either price myself out or not be willing to hang on when the economy picks up. I'm sure you have many people in this boat visit you on a regular basis. They feel inadequate because the game has changed but no one is trying to help them. The only way they do get help is through unemployment checks that pay more than most of the open jobs that they are told to apply for to keep getting the checks. Dr. Lucy nods in agreement. Dr. Lucy: I hear that all the time from different people so you are right. King: And that is a big problem. I have friends that can't keep relationships due to their finances. Now you look at me, I am making money but can't get the girls that are fine with the life it is. I don't know what it is and why this happens. Mike shrugs his shoulders. King: I can't tell you why that it is. It boggles my mind. Now back to my relationships with women, it is hard to tell. I have dated six women seriously during my time as a wrestler. I dated my first valet Bobbi Jo Stevens who basically a groupie that thought she could be a manager and things did not work out pretty fast. I think we lasted like four months. She just didn't take our relationship seriously and didn't think we were exclusive. Dr. Lucy perks up at the comment. King: Yeah she ended up seeing another wrestler or two and it got out and I broke it off with her. I dated an interviewer who was from UCW and later worked with WIF. I am pretty sure her name was Rachel. We were kind of serious but we never made it anymore than that. My next was this girlfriend was Kristal and we lasted about six/seven months mainly because I was not wrestling at the time and I had my head on as straight as possible but the road ruined it of course. Then came Tori who was outside of the business and we were broke up before I went serious. Dr Lucy looks up from her pad to ask a question. Dr. Lucy: Why did that one end before it got serious? King: Well it was the distance and at the time I was also mourning the death of my best friend. That is around the time when my addiction to prescription pills went to it's darkest. I had taken pills for a year since injuries I got from a brutal match with a man by the name of Johnny Wildfire. We fought through barbed wire and fire. And for the next year I was fine, there was nothing wrong. I used them as prescribed but then once my friend Jeff-X died, I took it hard and my pill use got to a dangerous point. I became a dick when the WIF ended and I first joined CZW. That is part of the reason my opponent at my next big event, Alan Fiscus is after me. Dr. Lucy is jotting that down and looks up. Dr. Lucy: What are your issues with Alan Fiscus? Mike closes his eyes to try to figure out the words. King: Well the way I see it, Alan is the same as me. At the point I came in he was in a three-way power struggle and I took another guy's side. We then fought like three times out of the next four weeks until my partner and half-brother beat him. My father had previously had a relationship with a woman from Canada and that is where my half-brother Tim Timmons comes in. We were tag team champions, we lost them and had a big feud. During this time my addiction got worse and crescendoed in November when I wrestled Tim in a greenhouse match. That night I was zonked out and barely there. I needed help and I agreed to get it. It was agreed that I would make it known to the world that I needed to go to rehab. I was supposed to do then Alan got to me before I could announce it. Dr. Lucy continues to write it down. King: Sorry for getting off-topic. Dr. Lucy waves a dismissive hand. Dr. Lucy: No, no, you're fine. It helps me figure out what is wrong. Mike nods. Dr. Lucy: You can continue with the relationships. Mike nods again before starting up again. King: Well after Tori, I causally dated a friend of her named Kate but that was a bad move by me and then briefly dated Tori again. Mike raises his hand. King: Yeah I know, reason number one why those didn't work. Mike lowers his hand before continuing as Dr. Lucy laughs. King: After realizing the errors of my ways, I was with Amber Wyndham, another manager. I met her through Chris Tolwar, an apprentice of mine. I showed up for a training seminar at the wrestling school he went to and saw this beautiful redhead and it was Amber. She was looking to break in as a manager and I needed one and over time we became a couple and then she woke up one day and was done with wrestling and then eventually me and she never really gave me a reason why she was done. After that was my last girlfriend Nichole, I was with her for about 19/20 months. We were fine with distance even when I was in Mexico or Japan doing shows like I did for the majority of time that CZW was not active. However after CZW got active again she wanted me to move on from my dreams and put my money where my mouth was about starting a family. It's not that I don't but I still have just a little more to prove in wrestling before I give it up and hang up the boots. Dr. Lucy stops writing. Dr. Lucy: What do you consider you have to prove? King: Well first I need to beat my opponent at Event Horizon, I am yet to beat him and until I do, he will continue to be a thorn in my side. After that, I want to be the ace or top guy in the promotion. I held a world title once but only for minutes. I never was the been the guy or "ace" as they call it in Japan. I know it is a selfish gain but I want to prove that I am that I can be that guy. Thinking like this along with the business makes me an egoist. Dr. Lucy perks up at the response as she jots down. Dr. Lucy: Why do you consider yourself an egoist as you put it? Mike grins. King: Well in wrestling everyone is an egoist. You have men and women side with you or against you based on their self-interests and gains on the relationship, that is the definition of egoism. Every action you do is for your own individual self-interest. You need follow egoism to survive in the wrestling business. If you do not, you are going to get beaten, used, bruised and abused by someone who is. For years I was an egoist and never gave two shits about people. Unlike everyone else, I make it known to everyone with my actions. That is where my friend died. I lost a friend because of my own self-interests. Dr. Lucy: So why are you still an egoist if being self-centered is what made you lose your friend. Dr. Lucy puts her pen up to her lips as she finishes jotting down her notes, waiting for King's response. King: It was but I still know that I need to be an egoist. Besides trainees, I was a lone wolf last year and it did not help me. Being a lone wolf in wrestling never helps you. Until CZW's rebirth this year, I was a lone wolf from October 2010. When I returned to CZW, I saw a former ally, forming a group to take over the promotion and I have done that before and all it does is cause more strife. So I decided to start my own group, a group to stand up and say "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore." Mike uses air-quotes. King: I brought together men who are overlooked by the office. Men that were passed by the promotion due to various reasons. Some have been here since day one, others are new comers. The Tru Family Crew, CZW X-Division Champion Krimzon Blaze and his tag team partner Mike Monroe in CZW have been in CZW since before I even joined. They have made their names here but yet their glory has been in the tag team and X-Divisions alone. I know they are better and they be stars in the other divisions. Daniel Ward is a newcomer I saw train in England a few years back and came to CZW without my knowing during the re-launch and brought me back to be in mentor here. He is the future of this business and he proved that by nearly winning the CZW World Heavyweight title at Kingdom Come. Then you have the muscle of the Wayward Sons, Joshua Newsome known to the world as The Mountain Man. Despite being one of the most dominant champions in CZW for the Ultraviolent division, he is over looked by the fans and the office. Another Wayward Son is out injured, Chris Tolwar. My first trainee who has suffered a neck injury and will most likely never wrestle again. I didn't say anything about this until now but he has a vertebrae that shifted on him. Yeah that is why I am yet to formally announce it to the CZW crowd. I want him to do it and I will formally give him an honorary membership into the Wayward Sons. Dr. Lucy smiles at what Mike said. Dr. Lucy: That's very nice of you. Mike smiles. King: Well thank you. He had the rough upbringing not me. If you expect someone to need help, it would be him and not me. His parents were killed by the cartel, he was their anchor to American citizenship and moved around through several group homes. If not for pro-wrestling, he would honestly be in jail or something right now. Dr. Lucy pauses and looks at King looking for clarification. Dr. Lucy: So wrestling saved him? Mike nods his head. King: Yes, even more so than me. Like me, he loved wrestling and that was his escape. Unlike me, he had a rough childhood. I had a supportive one but I just knew this was my calling. But now he has to figure out something after wrestling. Maybe becoming a manager, road agent, announcer, something like that. Dr. Lucy: It is tough to know what to do after you can't do the same job you use to either by injury or being fired. Mike nods. King: I know from the past. I have been there and done that. Somehow I am still doing that same job. I have had several injuries over the years and had several promotions close on me and I am still standing. I am the leader of the Wayward Sons. I have shown them the light. My brothers know that they have been forgotten about and so has fighting for CZW and they will not take it anymore. I am also the workhorse, the string puller, and the one true ace of CZW. Forget what the title rankings say, forget who is in the main events, forget about the world champion, I am the star of this company and I will prove it at Event Horizon. At Event Horizon a star will be born and his name is Mike King. Dr. Lucy has concern on her face. Dr. Lucy: I apologize in advance but my next question is one you may not like. Mike shrugs his shoulders. King: As long as you apologize about it, it is fine with me.” Dr. Lucy chuckles. Dr. Lucy: Well if you say so. Did you create this group for the reason that you stated or is it really about glory for yourself and to prove you are the "ace" like you claim to be? Dr. Lucy uses air-quotes now. When she finishes, King shakes his head no. King: I can see why people think that. Normally you start a group for selfish gains. I did but my gains were for everyone else. It is not about gold & glory. I can get them by myself like I always did. What we need someone to stop my former ally who is power hungry. Power hungry like I was five years ago and I saw the damage it caused. I do not want that for a promotion that just returned. CZW wasn't uniting as a solid unit. There are several different divided factions that aren't try to team up to stop Ryan Shane and his Uprising. Instead, I created The Wayward Sons as barrier for CZW. If CZW wasn't going to stand up for CZW in a united front, I will. I found four men I can trust. Besides us, there's only one man that has really stood up against him. He is a man that I have had problems with since day one in CZW. Throughout my entire time in the original run, I had issues with him. We had differences in points of view mainly because we are one in the same. We are both egoists who want to be number one. To date I never beat him in a one-on-one match. Never, not even once. All but one time we have been in the ring, he beat me. But I am not the same man as I once was. I don't have the drug addiction anymore to limit me and I am raging beast like I once was. Now, I am at peace and I can move on and I will do so by beating him at Event Horizon for the first time, for the last time. Dr. Lucy looks at her watch as she jots down things King is saying. Dr. Lucy: Well it looks like we only have enough time for one more question. Mike shrugs his shoulders. King: What would that question be? Dr. Lucy: Do you ever see yourself that you will leave wrestling? Mike thinks about it for a minute as Dr. Lucy looks at her notes on the pad. King: Well in a way I started. I won a small jackpot with a lotto ticket. Basically hit the numbers except the mega ball on Mega Millions. I took the money and started a consulting firm and I am using the business experience I have in wrestling and out of it to help with existing companies and start-ups. I really stopped doing a lot of international tours because of this because I want to build it up so when I wake up in the morning and realize that I want to stop being a wrestler and move on. I don't know when this will happen but someday I will. Dr. Lucy looks at King and is surprised. Dr. Lucy: I think that is an interesting comment. You know someday this is going to end and you are preparing for it. Mike nods. Dr. Lucy: And that was an hour. Mike turns and looks at Dr. Lucy. King: Really, that was fast. Dr. Lucy looks over her notes. Dr. Lucy: Yes and through looking at the notes you seem normal. I guess your promotion was worried about you.” Mike nods. King: So you're saying being angry is normal and does not require you to need anger management or further visits? Dr. Lucy nods. Dr. Lucy: Not that it is normal, but you are using it constructively. Too many people lets it boil up inside until they pop and they commit suicide or become a sociopathic murderer. You do not fit either profile at all. The addiction part did worry me but because you have been clean for three years, I don't see any problem with it. You seem a little too matter of fact for anything to be really wrong. Mike gets up and offers his hand to Dr. Lucy. King: Well thank you for listening to me and my issues. Dr. Lucy accepts the hand. Dr. Lucy: No problem. You're welcome for coming today. You did the right thing. Dr. Lucy and Mike break the handshake as the scene transitions. |

The scene transitions to Mike standing in front of his room. King: I have heard the talk. I've read the posts on my Facebook wall. I've seen the touts. I've watched the YouTube videos. Everyone is talking. Everyone has their opinions about CZW Event Horizon. The big event of CZW. The Super Bowl in the Combat Zone. You have many things going on. Wayward Sons sprinkled across the show. The CZW Television title defended in the first-ever Smoke and Mirrors match, the CZW Queen of Combat title coming out of mothballs to be determined in a battle royal, the first defense of the CZW Global Tag Team Titles, Wayward Son Krimzon Blaze defending the X title against Jason X, Daniel Ward and Joshua Newsome fight four other men for a money in the bank title. King pauses and smiles. King: And then you have the most important match on the card, Alan Fiscus vs. the CZW Intercontinental Champion... King pauses and grabs his CZW Intercontinental title belt. King: And leader of the most dominant stable in CZW The Wayward Sons, "The Egoist" Mike King!!!!!!!!!! King places the CZW Intercontinental title on his on shoulder and pats the centerpiece. King: The fans are talking. The fans are chomping at the bit for this match. They aren't talking about me snapping on various members of the CZW locker room. The fans aren't talking about the aurora of Mike King be shattered by the loss I suffered to Crypt. The fans are talking about your interference Alan. King points at the video camera. King: The fans are saying that without your interference, I would not have my first loss in CZW. They are saying that I could have defied the odds like I did time and time again by beating Crypt rather than the loss I suffered in the record books. King drops his finger. King: The fans are saying that I am great. They are saying I am back and better than ever. They are saying that I have come so far since returning to CZW. They say in time I will be in the main event. They say I am destined to be the ace here in the Combat Zone. King pauses and stops. Anger starts to appear on his face. King: But in the same breath, they say that I have no chance against Alan Fiscus and that at Event Horizon we will see a new champion. They are saying that you are not human. They are saying that you are a god. King shakes his head. King: I disagree Alan. You are not God, you are anti-Christ. You have done things in that ring that are despicable. You are a mere mortal much like I. We have been in the ring before and you are special I will give you that but you are a mortal. I have injured you before and I am not afraid of doing it again. King pauses and regains his composure before continuing. King: The mind games are in full effect. It has been a war of words and then at Overdrive, I used the Corkscrew Stunner and he used my St Anger II. It has been seen that we can use each other’s moves effectively. We show that not only we can beat someone with our own moves but with each others. King rubs his beard. King: However Alan, I brought back a pet move of mine that has not been seen in while. I brought a move out of mothballs to be ready for you and your challenge at Event Horizon. We saw me bring it back at Overdrive in Differ Ariake. The cross-arm powerbomb that I used on Darkness Drachen during our exhibition match. I have named it the King Bomb. And if I hit it especially after a spear and a cross-arm German suplex, it will be the end of you and your pipe dream of beating me for your first CZW Intercontinental title. King pauses King: Now I know what you’re going to think and say. It's the same thing that the fans are wondering. But Mike, hasn't Alan beaten you every time you crossed paths? Hasn't Alan been the one man you never beat in a CZW ring? Isnt it Alan that is known as your toughest fight in your entire time at CZW? King rubs his stubble. King: I know that is all true. It's in the past and I finally accept it. Alan I know you have the track record over me. I remember that you have beaten me every single time we have been in the ring together. I know you are the one that I always can't get around. And it eats a hole in my stomach. King points to his stomach. King: It pains me that I have never beaten you. I know I am better than you. I know I can beat you. The fact that I have not been able to beat you yet, eats me alive. And that makes you think you have the mental edge. I am sure you have the idea in your head that this Monday at Event Horizon will be like the past. You will walk in all big and bad and beat me to win the CZW Intercontinental title. King looks down at the ground. King: But the reality is you do not. You don't have the edge on me Alan. King looks back up and points to himself. King: I am not the same wide-eyed youngster I was in 2008 that you beat repeatedly, nor am I the "monster" that fed off my anger, hatred and abandonment in 2009. I am no longer the embodiment of hatred. I am now the embodiment of those people being casted aside. I've been cast aside time and time again. WIF put me in the Xtreme Division and kept me in there despite the fact I moved on from it. When I first came into CZW, I was held down and kept on the pre-show for several weeks and then I was used as crash pad for you and put into the Hardcore division. Then I join Beautiful Agony, only for it to be sealed within weeks and then separated from my tag team partner by the office. Time and time again, I was held back and held down. I am done with being the man who is held back. Since my return to CZW, I made it my mission that I wouldn't be and that others will not be afraid of being held back. That is why I formed the Wayward Sons. I formed it out of fear, the fear that the boys in the back cannot break through the glass ceiling. The same glass ceiling I shattered through during my unbeaten streak en route to my second CZW Intercontinental Title. My potential will be realized this Monday at Event Horizon when I finally beat you Alan Fiscus. I will beat you in what will be my first and toughest defense I will ever have as Intercontinental Champion. King pauses and looks at his title. King: It is beautiful. King takes the belt off his shoulder and lays it in his hands. King: Look at the painted gold plates on this black leather belt. King stares at the title belt. King: Two small rectangular plates on the side with a big oval face plate with the letters C Z W in the center and the words Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion wrapping around the letters. This trophy shows is the embodiment of my entire career. My rise my fall my victories my defeats my return. I am one of eleven men to hold this title in the years CZW has been around. I am only one of three men to win this title two times. I don't want to be the first man to win it three times... King pauses and King breaks his stare away from the Intercontinental title. King: I won't be. Alan, you won't make me have to win this again. You won't make me have to scratch and claw, and claw and scratch to win this title back. This title is not going to leave its rightful home unless you kill me. This title will stay around my waist until I stop breathing. When I take my last breath, this title can be anyone else's. But until that point, it is mine. No one will stop me. Not you Alan, because I will win this Monday in the Tokyo Dome at Event Horizon and continue to be the champion. Not Derek Damage when he forces me to relinquish to relinquish the title after winning the CZW World Heavyweight Title. Not anyone else on the roster. Not even God himself. King looks at the title once again before continuing. King: After beating all comers starting with Alan Fiscus, CZW will have to give me a shot at the World title for me to lose possession of this title. King kiss the faceplate of the title and then lays the title over his shoulder again. King: Alan in the past you called yourself "The One Man Riot." Everyone knows me as "The Egoist," the man who does everything in his own self-interests and all actions are done with his self-interests in mind. At Event Horizon, I will be an egoist but more importantly I will be a one man riot squad. I will squash your riot like they do in the Muslim world. Alan, by doing this I will break your spirit the same way as you did to me, time and time again. The so-called "Sadistic Solution" will be proven to be a farce. I will leave you lying on the ground looking at the ceiling or clutching your arm in pain. King lifts the Intercontinental championship into the air. King: And when you look up you'll see me standing like this as Jessica Towers says; "Ladies and gentlemen your winner and STILL CZW Intercontinental Champion, 'The Egoist' Mike King!!!!!" King lowers the belt and starts to fasten it around his waist. King: You will feel the same way as I did every time I faced you in the past. Broken and defeated. While me, I'll feel like you have when you beat me, victorious and proud of my accomplishment. King pauses. King: This Monday in the Tokyo Dome, I will beat Alan Fiscus. If you want to see me beat him for the first time go online and order Event Horizon on iPPV. If you want to see me nearly beat him within an inch of his life, go ahead and order the show. Czw-wrestling.net has all the details that you need to know. King pauses as a somber tone takes over after his brief happiness. King: But that is not the most important thing at Event Horizon. The most important is the main event. I may joke and say I am but the main event effects us all. Ryan Shane gets a shot at the CZW World Heavyweight Title. Granted he is in a three-way with the champion TJ Hix and another challenger in El Pablo, but he still has a good chance of walking out champion. King looks at the ground as he says that. King: Shane winning the title will be the darkest day in CZW history. Even darker than it was for the closing of CZW back in 2011. Ryan Shane winning the strap it will lead to the death of CZW. Not sure if it will be a quick and relatively painless death or a slow painful death. I am not sure Ryan Shane will bring a lethal injection or a cancer to CZW. King looks back. King: Ryan I will be blunt. I don't like you, I never liked you, I thought you weren't right to be in Youthful Aggression, but I respected you. I respected you enough to back down and not tell Brian Kirkland that you were not right to be one of us. I thought you would learn, I thought you would change like I am but you didn't. You didn't ever change and now you are where I was five years ago in the WIF. Power hungry, threatening to kill a promotion. I did that. I killed WIF. I allowed my best friend and mentor Jeff-X to die when he took a bullet that was supposed to kill me. I pissed off everyone in WIF much like you have done now in CZW. I’ve been there, done that and if I had to take it back I would. I am older and wiser than you. King gets down on his knees. Tears stream from his eyes with thoughts of his fallen partner. He wipes the tears from beginning. King: Ryan I beg of you. Not as a friend, not as a co-worker but as a brother. Don't use the title to tear apart CZW. It will only hurt you a lot more than it will hurt anyone else because you will have a bigger target on your back. A target that I will go and take advantage of. King gets up from his knees. King: Ryan I am not threatening war against you, I am foreseeing it, if you do not change like I did. Jeff-X saved me from myself but he died because of me. However unlike what happened to me, you can be saved Ryan, all you need to do is put aside your Uprising and if you win the title, be the champion CZW needs. If not, everyone whether it is the Wayward Sons or anyone else that is in the CZW home army will come after you for the glory of taking down the biggest threat to CZW and taking the title from you. King walks away with regret on his face as the scene ends and fades to black. |
