Homecoming: VII All of this for you [Home. A place of solace to escape to when shit hits the fan. It’s a place to open your thoughts while being comfortable with your surroundings. As much as I sorta enjoyed our stay in Miami, I never want to go back there, ya know? Too many bad memories. Too much anger there. I love anger but not when it’s around Jen. She’s too pure to see my anger. Sam starts to unpack her things after we had sex when we got home. I thought it was wrong to fuck in my mom’s house so a week without sex means great sex the week after. But even that seems off, I mean she really hasn't been herself ever since the shit went off with Kandi, and last week Sam sitting on the sideline was hard for her, and I heard all about it. She unpacks all of our clothes and sets them on the bed.] “You have a good time?” [I ask, trying to break the silence, trying to get her to open up to me again.] Sam: “It was a trip for a funeral Johnny” [She says and I just look at her. Her hair lies on her shoulders and compliments her skin tone. God, she’s beautiful, but so is Kandi...That's the delima] “So… did you enjoy seeing everyone?” Sam: “Did you?” [She says without even flinching. Now my peranoid mind sees this as a double meaning type of question, I just go with the flow and hope she isn't talking about what happened at Retribution.] “Are we in a mood today? I enjoyed seeing Jen. You know how close we are” [I mutter and Sam nods her head. She seems timid today, like she’s hiding something from me. Usually she’s always talking. Always.] “Something wrong? You seem different today Sam. Does this have anything to do with Kandi? Because I told you it's just businesses.” Sam: “Me? I’m fine. It has nothing to do with that two dollar tramp, I know you better Johnny, and a hand me down isn't your style. I'm Just tired. That’s all… tired” [he starts to put the clothes away and I don’t believe her.] “Okay but if you need to tell me something, just do it. Alright?” [She nods her head in confirmation as I kiss her on the cheek and leave the room. Heading down our spiral staircase, I hear ‘Lolly Pop’ by lil wayne from my pocket as I grab my phone to see who is calling.] “Hey Jen. How are you?” Jen: “Good… good. Listen, I thought about what you said and I think I’ll take you up on it. You sure you don’t mind?” [She says and I just smile.] “No, not at all. Hell, if you want I’ll give you the whole million.” Jen: “I can’t take that” [She says with slight excitement in her voice.] Jen: “I’m just afraid of moving over there. I don’t even know French.” “I will teach you dear. Just get to packing. You’ve got a new life ahead of you” [I say and she thanks me before hanging up. I smile and imagine Jenny in France eating crêpes and enjoying the sites. I make my way into the kitchen, grab a beer and I see the latest edition of GCW Magazine on the bar with a lot of the new blood sort of speaking on the cover. Huh, I wonder how Hallow is doing. Haven’t talked to the cat in a weeks.] *Ring* *Ring* *Ring* 'Hey, you’ve reached Hallow Wicked. Either I’m not here or I’m talking to someone else. Hallow be thy name! *BEEP* Hey HW, it’s Johnny. Just wanted to see how you’re doing. That’s all. I…" Sam: “Johnny, can I see you up here please. I have to tell you something” [I hear Sam call from the upstairs. I knew something was wrong.] Hey, Samantha’s calling for me. Just hit me back when you can man. [Hanging up, I head upstairs quickly and see Sam sitting on the edge of our bed. She looks at the ground and the pile of clothes on it.] “You wanted me?” Sam: “I need to tell you something Johnny” [She says and looks at me with a smile.] “What is it dear?” [I ask sitting down on the bed next to her. She looks at me and her eyes meet my eyes and I smile as well.] Sam: “Johnny… I’m… I’m…” “You’re what?” [I ask and her face beams with excitement. She brushes the hair out of her face and grabs my hands. Her hands are so soft and I rub my hands over the top of hers. I concentrate on this that I almost don’t hear her next words that come out of her mouth.] Sam: “I’m pregnant!” [She blurts out and my eyes get so big. I smile, not knowing why, and she hugs me.] “How…” Sam: “Well, I was sick before we left but I thought nothing of it but I asked Jen what she thought and she thought it could be morning sickness. So I bought a pregnancy test when we were at your moms and I found out I was pregnant!” [She screams and hops on our bed.] Sam: “I wanted to tell you there but I thought it was a bad time. Now you know and I couldn’t be more excited!” [I just look at the wall and think. Am I going to be a good father? Hell, am I daddy material? I just look up and shake my head. Thanks, Dad.] [With death brings new life.] The destiny I’ve chose All becoming clear --------------------------- "My God. You’re a real trip Troy. You really are. Are you that dull you have to beat up a female to get off? Keep it real bro, you knew the match was slipping out of your hands and you were desperate to make one final note, and you just had to drop Kandi on her head." "Fucking coward" "This is about are..." "Destiny." "A three syllable word that describes something that happens beyond someone’s control. It describes something that happens by fate or something that happens by chance. You know I used to believe in destiny. I used to believe I was destined to be great in this business. I used to believe that destiny would lead me to win championships, gain fame, and be something." "Then I was hit with reality." "Earlier in my career I was in the same naïve cloud as Troy Daniels. I thought that I was destined to beat big named people when I was nothing. You know what I realized? I realized that everything that was destined was never going to happen. I realized that fate is nothing. I figured out that everything you possess within yourself brings you victories. I understood that there is nothing called fate. You know what I did after I realized that destiny, fate, and chance were nothing?" "I added four more world titles to my resume." "So what does that mean for The lady brasher Troy Daniels? Troy believes in destiny. He believes that he's really going to walk out of SummerSlam as champion, of all people, and that he’s going to run this federation with his ‘new style’ of wrestling. He believes that my talks of My Manifest are just a big façade and that he’s going to lead me back onto the path to reality. He wants there to be a changing of the guard. You’re right about that, Troy. See, I put a clear guard on the blade of my chainsaw that keeps it rusty between slaughtering. After I get through with you I’ll need to change the guard." "You’re going to be the most brutal one of them all." "You live in a clouded world, Troy. One that involves thinking you even matter in this equation, one that makes you think you’re going to beat me, and one that makes you think you should even be in the main event. How did you get here? You wrestled twice in a four weeks time. Wow, kid, that’s really good. You're a real Fighting champion. Troy is an example, an example of what happens when the company helps promote a comeback. Everyone knows at No Mercy the clockwork orange match was supposed to be Violator vs. Johnny Stylez, Not Troy vs. Johnny. Troy champion or not, You’re still in the shadow of a former world champion, in the shadow of Violator, and now you want to try and be something. You want to try and be a superstar by beating a man who is much bigger than wrestling, on one of the biggest summer ppvs GCW has to offer. Do you know what you’re setting yourself up for? Do you realize what you’re about to do to your career?" "You’re about to kill your own career." "You walk around me with the biggest set of balls I’ve seen since Violator. We all know what happened to him, don’t we? We all know what happened to him since then. He’s lost to me three times and everyone knows it tears him up inside. He can’t get over the fact that I have beaten him so much because he was ‘so much better than me’, right? Is that what you think Troy? Do you think you’re so much better than I am? Let me prove you wrong and I’ll just add you to the tagline of everyone else who thought it was their destiny to win. You say everyone was destined to beat me but never did. Their destiny was the same as yours so tell me, kid, what makes my battle with your destiny any different?" "Nothing because at No Mercy it was a sad joke and that’s the reality you seem to miss." "See, everyone who has faced me has either said they’re going to take away what I love more than life, that they’re going to prove me wrong and leave me turning emo, or that I’m going to love not having the title around my waist. I’ve heard everything you’ve already said week in and week out. You know what I do? I tune it out and find something of importance in their drivel. However, Troy, I can’t find anything important in what you’ve said. I’ve watched it over and over again but I can’t find anything I’ve haven't already heard. So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to send you a letter listing everything everyone has already said to me. I want you to study it and, if you have to, read off of it when you get in front of the camera. Then come up with something creative, innovative, and fresh that I haven’t heard." "Then maybe you’ll convince me that you’re really the HERO of GCW" "Some hero you are, how would superman look if he dropped Lois Lane on her dome peace? Yea your some hero alright" "People who know their place don’t stray from it. They stay in it and master their domain. They make a name for themselves and they showcase why they are the king of whatever they master. Troy, if I was in the mid-card I’d be the best damn mid-carder out there. I’d be the main focus on GCW and everyone would pay to see me. Why? I’m must-see-tv. I’m the man everyone pays to see lose. I’m the man who they refer to as God and accept it. I’m the man who defied the word ‘destiny’ and showed people reality. And you will make damn sure that the GCW championship comes to the man who truly deserves it." "You’ll do it laying on your back the victim of MY Manifest." "Once that last door is opened, and the Number Six man (oh yes that's me) comes rushing into the cage of destruction, I well make sure to be the one left standing under the sea of confetti, holding the World championship, I’ll grip it over your paralyzed body. I’ll hold it up and show you that you can speak all you want and you can be as tough as you want behind the camera but when you’re in the ring with me you are like everyone else. You call up my losing streak. You think it’s original to call me on what was the lowest streak of my stint in this game, then knock yourself out. After this match, Troy, you will respect me. I will make sure the only name to ever come out of your mouth is JOHNNY STYLEZ. You know how I’m going to do that? After I paralyze you I’ll tell the speech therapist to teach you that one name." "A name you will fear after SS" "You talk as though you can brush through me. You believe that you can just waltz right by, take keep the GCW championship, and do something with this company. Tell me, Troy, how many people are going to pay to see you? Who is going to watch the next PPV as it’s Troy Daniels vs. another jobber? What kind of main event is that? You know what that does? That costs me money. I can’t let you cost me money. I live by two words: fuck you, pay me. I’ll fuck you up and the peasants will all pay me to do it. Everyone is on your side, Troy, so you better not freeze. I might even put it up on YouTube and show the world how you don’t approach the SOON TO BE TWO TIME champion." "That’s the only way you’re going to gain any fame." "So keep talking nonsense. It brings me great joy to see you talking with your foot in your mouth. Then you can take that one out and put your other foot in your mouth. Out with the old, in with the new right? Please, Troy, every promo you cut your doing nothing but talking out your ass. You’re not even on my level. You’re not even close to my level. So know your place Troy. After I brutalize you, you can go back to the mid-card and win the TV Championship or the Hardcore Championship. I’ll make sure to watch you as you sit high as the leader of the mid-carders. Take great joy in that, Troy, because not everyone can be leader. If you’re leader in something it’s better than being nothing, right? Just remember that Kings are better than leaders. Remember to not get near my turf ever again. If I do, the next time won’t be so pretty." "The next time I will kill you." "You bitch and moan about not facing Mid card hero's like Tristianna Taylor but in reality all your trying to preach for is a easy championship defense. Tristy over there couldn't even get the job done against Cryptid and she wont get the job done in the tag-team championship match eighter. You are nothing and you will forever be nothing Troy, wishing for easy victories isn't what a champion does. It’s sad because no one takes criticism well so I have to put myself in the sacrificial position. I take criticism every single day and I laugh it off. I prove the critics wrong every time I hold a microphone and every time I am in the ring. What will you do when people start to criticize you? What will you do when they follow you and ask you questions about your personal life over and over again? You will fall under the pressure, Troy. You’re not ment to hold that championship belt after Summerslam. You’re not ready for the criticism. You are just another blind man in a company filled with blind men. You walk into walls and you don’t know how to navigate into the path of reality which happens to be the path of success. Do you know why I am the greatest Superstar to ever grace that wrestling ring?" "In the land of the blind the man with one eye is king." "Let me guess Alexander Regins, you gonna sit on that one victory over me, like you accomplished something. I must've been pissy drunk to ever lose to you. It's like saying a kitten could take a lion." "Go fuck yourself, you ain't the big cat." "Nah bro, there's a difference now. You have been hacking up that mid card, dropping matches to everyone I've walked over. You sit there and tell yourself you can beat me again, when I can smell the urine already spreading over your pants." "Ah shit, bitch is scared." "You outta be, this in untouchable. Check out this flow, and teach yourself the basics again. Your game's been slacking, and it's only an opening for me. By the time Sunday is over, I will have pinned you for the win, and all that shit slipping from between those cocksuckers on your face, will be as meaningless as your career." "Fuck outta here, deadbeat." "Not much more can be said Alex. You've been giving your chance to shine to many times already." "You've fucked everyone of them up." "This time won't be any different. Johnny Stylez is the most dominant force to ever step in a ring." "That's right, I'm greatness." "I'm what keeps people interested in the GCW, with all the other lame ass contenders out there. I'm cocky, conceited, and an overall dickhead." "Only because I've backed it up time and time again." "The planets aren't aligned for you this time Alex. And the cards aren't in your favor. You're time is dwindling, before I break that self esteem you're trying to establish." "Remember who you're dealing with Alex." "I'm Johnny Stylez bro, the former world champion!" "Expect an ass kicking. It's what you've got coming Alex" "And it's the fucking TRUTH." "Next!!!" "See, no one in this match has any idea what it is like to be GCW champion. (Troy has taken more time off to realize what it means to be a champion) No one in this match knows what it is like to hold championship gold as long as I have. No one in this match has the experience in championship matches that I do. So, exactly how have all these people go on their approach?" ‘You’re not going to win the GCW championship, Stylez.’ "I can promise you, That well be the general statement from the five guys going against me. If you were to strip this down everything they well have said that is all you would get. It’s really sad how narrow-minded these people are. A perfect example of this is the fact that they all say they’re going to walk out with championship gold. You all are probably going to walk out with championship gold." "Just not the GCW championship." "Everyone says I’m caught up in my own hype, my own ego, and my own… Manifest, but I do care about the little people. If I didn’t care about all you little people my job would be pointless. It’s like you’re all swimming in a pool of mediocrity and I’m watching you high from my life guard seat. Then, when one of you starts to drown I won’t come out to save you. I will look at you through my binoculars and watch you die. Everyone else will be trying to save you but I won’t. Now, it’s not because I’m an asshole, even though I am, but it will be for one simple fact." "I want you to kill yourself to get my attention." "That’s the only way I’m going to recognize you after I obtain greatness three fold. You’re going to realize that you’re not even on my level and all the petty insults, the cheap shots, and the ‘history searching’ isn’t going to help you anymore." "Think I'm bullshitting you? Ask R&r what I did to him the 28 times we faced off" "When I was just breaking into this promotion, I pretty much made R&R my bitch. Week after Week until the cocksucker was begging for me to remove my boot from his ass." "At Summerslam it's gonna be the same results. My boot up his slacker ass" "There should be some unwritten rule, you must have hit puberty before you can step up against me." "But keeping it real, My squeaky voice friend, when I watched what you threw together last week I couldn’t stop laughing so I had to rewind and watch it again with a straight face. Seriously, R&r, how do you think you’re going to compete with me? I’m leaps and bounds beyond your dreams. I’m leaps and bounds beyond what you can’t even dream." "Can you understand that?" "Probably not because you don’t even remember what you said five minutes before. Whats the next motion picture rip off your gonna spew? talk about unoriginal, You do that a lot, kid. You have a lot to learn if you’re thinking of intimidating The Living Legend." "A lot to learn." "R&r, you’re going to be a very small stepping stone on my way to immortality. Imagine this as me using you to get some fame. Because it’s something I do. I use people to propel myself. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with no shame. If someone is weak minded enough to fall for my trap then I’ll use them. R, your words are your ultimate downfall this week. Everyone’s prime is over. Sadly, you’re never going to see yours." "Much like the prime of Danni Veneski" "Bro how fucking bitch are you? I mean you wanted to be in the ring against me last week, and you didn't even have the balls to even show? Oh yea MASTEMA is a real feared group. Bunch of slackers are what you cats are. Don’t think for one second you’re going to ‘walk over my body’ to get the GCW championship Danni. You’re too afraid to walk over my body or put someone down for the count." "It's clear as day, if not then you would have man up last week, instead of bowing out like a bitch" "You’re not sure if you’re going to win or even get past the first five mintues. You’re talking about winning but it’s going to take a hard fight and you’re kinda ready for it? Danni, this is the reason why you’ve never been world champion anywhere. This is the reason you’re never going to be anything except for Number Two. And after Mini Me comes home with me Sunday, you can be jealous and I’ll finish you and throw you back on the side of the tracks that you’re used to." "The side with all the mediocrity." "Shouldn't be surprise, the reason is simple, it’s because I’m so far ahead of you I’ve stopped counting how many steps behind you are. I’m the new level of genius and you’re still stuck trying to figure out how to make fire in a cave. Danni, it's the way of Mastema compared to Sex and Violence, you’re never going to be anything as long as I’m around. When people think GCW, they think of The Living Legend and Sex and Violence. They don’t think of Danni Vagina and Masterbation. Who the fuck is Danni Vagina in my world? Danni is a bitch in my world. Danni is second best in my world." "You just don’t compare, son." "Comparisons are something I’m used to. I’m used to being compared to greatness, perfection, and everything in-between. Yet, there is one comparison I’m not very fond of." "Being compared to Randy Payne." "First off, Randy, lets get this out the way shall we, I'm the only fuck Kandi loves. You were the flash in the pan, one night fuck, where is I am the one that she can't get enough of. Sorry it had to come out like this, but hey facts are facts. It's my phone she's blowing up, not yours. Think of it being me as being the update, she moved from mediocre to the premier level." "It's really no comparison, I'm the salami to your breakfast sausage" "Compared to me you are an ant. In the jungle that is GCW, I am the anteater and you are the ant. In my world, I’m the magnifying glass and you are the ant. I take pleasure in burning you in my spotlight." "Look at you, Payne, and tell me you don’t bore the shit of yourself. You spent a good five minutes saying the same thing over and over again but in different words. I think you said my name twenty times in that five minutes of spotlight last week" "Give it a break, kid." "See, I’m not close to God. I am God. I am the one who chooses what path you walk on. I could have a good day and choose for you to, I don’t know, get extra pepperoni on your pizza. Or I could make you have a bad day and be crippled by a very trendy End result. It’s all a matter of choice for me. I have all the pull and you have none." "You might as well get used to it." "You’re not going to be anything in GCW. Remind me again what you did in GCW since you signed? Besides making a few quick banners." "It doesn’t matter whom I’m taking down to create the trend but all trends must have casualties, right? This trend will continue until I get tired of it and move on to the next trend. Then you will follow me and write down everything I do because, you know, you’re into that." "Such an obsessive little bitch." "Let’s remember, Randy, that talent and ability is essentially the same thing. You don’t have everything this company needs because this company needs a champion with class. This company needs a champion that can bring them money week in and week out. This company needs a champion who is intelligent. This company needs me." "They really don’t need you." "So, for a second, stop talking for ten minutes without taking a breath. You do that for too long and you’ll end up getting blue in the face. Or it could be from the fact that I’m choking all the life out of you. Then when you’re finally dead I’ll bury you in the same casket as R&r. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the sausage that’s waiting for you. You’ll choke on it and that’s the only time Randy Payne is better than The Living Legend." "Enering number six...NEVER LOOKED SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!" --FIN--
