Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me


Have you ever had your mind leached from you? Filtered through a sieve as if it were nothing but sand? Have you ever watched as it slipped slowly away, between your very fingers? Have you ever reached for it only to find it lost in the ever-expanding darkness?

I have.

Have you ever tried to find yourself? Have you ever looked in every recess of your mind? Have you ever wondered who you truly are? Have you ever wandered aimlessly through this life, searching endlessly for the one thing to make you whole?

I have.

Have you ever stopped? Given up? Lost all hope?

I have.

Have you ever ceased to be amazed? Have you ever stared numbly as the secrets of the world were divulged unto you? Have you ever, even once, failed to see the beauty of life?

I have.

Torture.

Life. A simple word. But what is it? Truly? Is it the day-to-day? Is it the tomorrow? Or is it the here-and-now? What does it entail? Does it require acts of daring? Charity? Love?

Does it even need a definition?

Have you ever seen the people who walk around, their shoulders slumped in submission, seeing only sadness? Have you ever seen the ones who truly need comfort? Have you ever seen the crying child, yearning for touch, which is in every one?

Have you ever turned a blind eye?

Have you ever been betrayed by a dear one? A friend? A brother?

Have you ever betrayed them?

What is life if it is nothing more than betrayal and pain? Where is the fire? Where is the spark? Where has it gone?

Have you ever given up?

I have.

But not for long.

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?


What have I become?

There’s been a time in my career where I have had to strive to get to the top, strive but never for long... but this is different. Back then it was easy, I was young. All it took was a Babylon Fading and that was it. Albeit, I had my determination, my will to succeed. And Now? I have a receding hairline and a pessimistic view on things. Well in reality the pessimism isn’t anything new really, but still. Now, I find myself cast to the shadows, hidden behind the cameras because apparently I’m just not damn good enough to be on TV anymore. In which I agree I’ve lost something. I’ve lost my spark, my drive... my... thing.

I mean seriously how many industry veterans still try to be in the ring? They’ve made their money and now couldn’t give a fuck about this business. We have congressmen and actors. That’s not the path I chose to follow. I was born to be in the ring, not staring into a camera or trying my hardest not to. Something has changed and I wish that I could work out what it was. Is it because I’m not happy in life anymore? No. I was never happy, contented maybe but happy? That was always a stretch too far. Is it because I am actually the washed up has-been trying to recapture former glory everyone seems to make me out to be? Probably, but I refuse to accept that.

I’ve been a part of this industry for a long time; too before many of you had considered lacing up boots and stepping into the ring. I mean hell; it’s due to people like me that half of you peons are around in this ring today. Twelve years, TWELVE FUCKING YEARS, and where do I end up? Right back where I started, Dark matches.

In twelve years, I have been shot, married twice, had several mental breakdowns, broken my neck twice, fractured my spine, started and ended careers. Ended... It’s not my time. Not yet, I’m not going down without a fight.

It’s here... and it’s now... Nate Static, takes no shit, no longer. Not that man anymore.

The Piper is playing my song

Time for you Rats to start fucking dancing.

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me


Standing still is for the weak and I would rather always be moving. In the VWA I am bi-weekly annoyed by the rustic nonsense being tossed at me.

It was Diamond Silverbomb that said this week.

[b]What you’ve done in other places doesn’t mean shit in VWA.[b]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is where my fault lies. I rely to much on previous experience. I am Nate Static, yet I don’t feel like him anymore. Nate Static is a dead entity. Now who am I? Would you believe me if I told you I had no fucking idea?

See the man that was Nate Static would have told all these prepubescent pukes to go fuck themselves and then set upon his merry way of going out and destroying them one by one.

Maybe I’m not that guy anymore. Maybe, just maybe, I’m not that good anymore. Maybe I am washed up.. Maybe, Maybe I can’t win anymore.

What am I saying? I am still Nate "FUCKING" Static, be that as it may, I am in a rut.

This is where it changes. This is where Nate Static, takes the bull by the horns once again, time to lead by example.

Example of these poor poor bastards that have to step into MY RING.

Let it begin;

Connor McCloud: I have to ask kid, where the fuck did you get the balls to ATEMPT to drag my name in the mud? I’m asking, start fucking telling. You see you may have won some matches in the VWA, yes it’s true, but what you fail to realise is that so have I. Sure, not since my return I grant you that, but a little background check would have revealed that yes, Nate Static has a history of winning. A History that started long before VWA, and will pick up again.

Maybe I don’t know when to quit, you are probably right. That’s because there’s is nothing I haven’t worked for. Everything in the past, everything in the future; I have or will have worked my ass off for. You come into this mouthing off about how the "great Nate Static is this" and yet who the fuck are you? Have you ever crossed me before? No, that gives you no room to mouth off.

Yes I am Nate Static, I am well aware of my previous accolades and titles so please don’t throw them in my face. I’m aware my title as "king" is no longer there, but you know what? I don’t care. I may no longer be King of the FUCKING World, but I am still and always will be Nate Static? Do you know what that means Connor? It means quite simply that I am better than you. Accuse me of ripping of Travis Daniels or Damien Falcon all you want, truth is I’ve been stating that from before Travis considered wrestling as a career as he was asking "would you like ketchup with that?".

Connor, I’d never heard of you before, you’re going to wish it had stayed that way. When you’ve looked into the most despotic man in the industry and you shit your pants. I will be there to laugh in your fucking face.

Sure sure, it’s ego. In case you haven’t noticed Connor.. I don’t have much of an ego left after my wife up and left me, ergo destroying my life. It’s fact Son. So be well aware Nate Static is back, and Nate Static is focused and Nate Static is everything you could never FUCKING be.

See you in the ring asshole, unless you decide to open your mouth again and to which I’m pretty sure I’ll give you the same reaction as I did last time. Who is this kid and who is doing what to him from behind.

Diamond Silverbomb: for weeks I’ve heard people talk of you like you’re the new Messiah of wrestling... wait scratch that.. People have spoken of you as the next Nate Static of wrestling. Which is fine, but my time isn’t up yet.

You want to berate me to make yourself look big? Go ahead princess, it makes it all the more pleasing when you’re looking up at me from the flat of your back asking what the fuck is the smell is after you shit your pants from impact. Forgive me over use of people shitting themselves in this promo, I’m merely stating my case here.

Yes I used to be "king shit around here" then "went crying like a little bitch" Sure, Diamond, whatever you say. Did you ever think I had just gotten annoyed at snot nosed fucking kids not long out of the academy coming to my house and pissing on my doorstep? No, because that’s exactly what you’re doing. Go ahead piss on the doorstep, just don’t get mad when I’m pissing on your grave, fuck nugget.

Maybe my self pity party is too much, but what the hell am I supposed to do when I have absolutely nothing left but the ring and as you so poetically put it "Can’t even buy a win to save your broken life". Maybe when you find out, you give me a call from whatever hole you’ve dug yourself and I’ll reverse the charges.

I’m glad you state I’m not worth your time, truly I am. It shows your arrogance and ignorance, and I like nothing better than to put ignorant retards down from their high horse.

You see it all starts with the mouth you run, then you start to believe your own hype; believe me, I’ve been there. Then before you know it your on top claiming to be the King. I’ve made those mistakes and I’ll quite happily watch you make them all again..

You’ve ripped enough shit for me to do exactly nothing Diamond, I realise that you are a fool and a nobody and I will cut you down where you stand.

Nate Static is a legend, remember that.

MY name will be remembered long after you are dead and buried. Through persistence, dedication and pure fucking inner strength.

Damien Falcon: the Less said about you the better. Straight edge, heh, you’ve clearly never had a drama in your life son. You see you can preach about being straight edge all you want homo, the truth is it won’t get you anywhere, anywhere fast.

I remember when I was like you. Naive.

What you fail to realise is that drugs can save your life. If you’re admitted to hospital after a healthy little twenty storey fall; which by all rights God should have in store for your preaching ass. Will you deny the morphine that stops your face feeling like it’s exploded under your skin? No? DRUG USER. Of course I’m being pretty pedantic about the subject, but how can you preach about something such as drugs when traditionally all the "straight edge" guys have never tried it. You might like it, and hell, I’d be easier than giving you a frontal lobotomy.

I’ll make this clear, I don’t care about you, you probably don’t care about me, but when it’s all said and done. I’ll be walking out with a victory, and you won’t.

Brian Gunn: The Beast within unleashed huh? Wow, creative, like I haven’t heard it before...

Wait wait..

I’m lying again, I have heard it, from almost every fucking moron who has ever faced me in some way or another.

"You don’t know what’s inside me, but it says it can kick your ass"

Or some shit along those lines. Keep your tired lines and Neanderthal intelligence away from my ears retard. Go back to the slaughter house and fuck your sister. I mean Jesus Fucking Christ.. Is this really what I’m up against? A shower of fucking losers I could care less for. You are the most talented blah blah blah.. FUCK. OFF. YOU. FUCKING. PEON.

Maybe I do have some ego left in me after all? Who the fuck cares. I’m the same man I always was, returning to my former glory is only a matter of time, so you idiots can keep fucking talking until your traitorous tongues are ripped from your skull.

Alexander Burckhardt: Diamond said it all for you? COP OUT BITCH. Go review what I said about Diamond and go jump off a cliff. I have nothing to say to you, fuck off and die.

Tommy Griffin: " I hope your knife isn’t rusty because your little Captain Planet scene might have been horrendously FAGGED OUT – but it one thing and one thing only. Career suicide when you face off against Nate Static.

Start by doing, before you start mocking you fucking idiot.

GOODBYE, SO LONG, GET LOST, FUCK OFF.

Babylon Fading

Bitch.

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display
