---------------------

The sound of rain pounding down on the building and the world outside is all I’m listening to at the moment, as I take the time to put away some of the flash art tattoo books back behind the counter. This was my first visit to Trendsetter Ink in a little over a week and a half and as usual it seems when the cat is away the mice will play. Normally I don’t have a problem with the guys that I have working here, there cool and most importantly they do a damn good job for the clients. However every once in a while they seem to forget this place is a place of business and not there home. So books need to be put away, the shop floor needs to be swept washed up every night and most importantly there’s not to be any food or drinks taken behind the line at the counter to where the tattoo artists do their work.

Which is something I had to remind Pete, the guy that currently is working at our front desk handling the scheduling and consultation of customers. For the time being anyway, since this is already the second time since opening the shop I’ve had to remind him not to wander around when he’s eating a snack, since the health department is very strict with how a tattoo shop must be maintained. As I sit in the small back office where most of my behind the scenes paperwork is kept for day to day expenses and the like. I can’t help but look over the papers and see how well my business here is doing. It’s going very good – however very good isn’t good enough for me things should be going great. I’m starting to realize that with me wrestling and training all the time, I don’t have enough free time to spend with Robyn and that’s not making things any easier lately. It seems whenever I have time off, she’s at school and whenever she’s home I’ve got other things to take care of.

Which is why as I sit alone in my office in the tattoo shop, I can’t help but think that perhaps with Robyn being done with university soon she’d have some more time and to keep it so that we’d actually have time to spend together, I should probably fire Pete and have Robyn take his place, since I know she can keep things running like clockwork. I swear I don’t know how she remodeled that entire room on the third floor with the bar that we plan on turning into a pub like room with pool table etc in only a weekend but she managed to do it. It really amazes me how she gets so much done around the house helping to make it just the way we want it. With school and everything else.

Everything she does amazes me – hands down I knew that I never cared about a girl as much as I do for Robyn. However in that same thought I still have something to say that could change everything – something I’ve been meaning to say for months but never have.

Perhaps I’ve been looking for the right time … and maybe there isn’t one. Old habits die hard it seems and as much as I’ve changed part of me is still the same. Even last week as I sat around with Reno and his brother Antonio, just sitting and chilling on the roof – I could see the friendship I have with them both, the brotherhood that is seemingly building more and more between Tony and Reno. Not to mention also the pain I see in Tony’s eyes over the horrible Dakota incident. That I’ve only recently found out about since I over heard Reno and Antonio talking about it once. Either way it’s not my place to do or say anything so I stay out of it – just like I find a way to disappear whenever any of the girls start yapping about interior designing thanks to Robyn or the wedding talk comes up courtesy of Nicole. Thankfully I usually find a way to bail Reno out as well, because him loving Nicole or not – ain’t no man on the face of the earth want to sit and be pulled through a wedding planning conversation.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my personal life when something you don’t want to deal with comes up – just leave and figure it out later. Sure at times it’s a harsh reality check though especially at times like this where I realize, deep down I might be pushing away what I want most.

… will there always be another time … I sure hope so.

A former world champion was put down for the count, yes I’m talking about the one I put in her place last week in Xaria Linette. It’s funny really all this time people had said how great she was. They didn’t see through the façade like I did. Was she really better than someone like me? Of course not and last week on Violence I proved it. Since that point what has happened? Where is she? The former LWA champion, right in the mid-card where the trash belongs. Who is in the main event though? Me! PFFT big surprise right - Nope not in the slightest.

It should be obvious to all of you why I’m in the main event.

I’m in the main event because it’s where I’ve always belonged and where I have spent the most time in my career. However I am kind of surprised that I have been teamed up with Kyle Cross and Reno Drake. Don’t get me wrong, Reno and I make a damn good team and were like brothers, so I know I can trust him. On the other hand there’s our World Champion, Kyle Cross. A man who is holding a belt that I want at some point and a belt that he wants nothing more to keep. No in a normal time I’d be wondering can we in fact trust one another, but I don’t have to ask that this time for I know I can trust Reno, since he is basically like my big brother. With Cross, I know I can trust him and he can trust me because there’s a respect we both have for each other and this business. That being said I’m sure at least one team in this match will be all on the wavelength – sure we might be reading a different chapter as it were but at least we’re reading the same book.

Which is more then what can be said for Legend and Nuclear Wynter, It’s just a known fact that those three will not be able to function as a proper unit, especially since Legend is out there for no-one but himself and factor in the fact that Vyrus beat Legend last week. Something tells me that Legend might just take care of his own Vyrus problem with a Requiem. Just for shits and giggles, wouldn’t be the first time he turned on a team. Requiem Ablaze does that ring a bell? I figured it would, so let me ask Nuclear Wynter this – if Legend cared about Requiem Ablaze, yet still did that, what do you think he’ll do to a team he could careless about, when he’s asked to share his spotlight? Then again speaking of spotlight – CM, ever since Ryley has become a double champion it’s seceretly been annoying you hasn’t it? I mean everyone knows normally your seen as the leader of Nuclear Wynter – but now it seems as if the lackey has become the focus that can’t sit will with you, now can it? – Then again Wynter’s despite getting some more focus now that you have to belts it must still sting to always be thought of as CM’s lackey. I would think that’s annoying but then again I’ve never been a lackey so what would I know about how it feels … perhaps you should tell me how it feels to be a double champion and still be seen in second place to your teammate.

Mull that one over as you wonder the streets er something.

Most importantly Ryley is this though, sure you and CM Vyrus might be holding tag gold and the Commonwealth championship, but come There will be blood, The Iconoclast are going to be taking that gold from you. What does that mean for this week you ask? It’s simple NW, I like a challenge and this six-man match will be it, but it will also be the time for me to move in and assert my dominance. I figure why not go out there and gain a win in a type of setting where no gold is on the line. However the pride is, for you see when Cross, Drake and myself get the win this week, I will have beaten both the Commonwealth and Tag Team champions, not to mention “God” himself. The concept is simple enough, for Nuclear Wynter was a great team and Legend was a great wrestler but that time has come and gone, this isn’t the days where you are truly the dominate ones, it feel that way to you, but to everyone else around you, they see things changing – it’s not about any of you three anymore. It’s all about me, I’m the guy who is money, I’m the real top star around here and even “god” knows it. Now Wynters, Vyrus, I’m sure your thinking you have all the tag team answers well that’s all well and good I hope you do have all the answers for tag teams I really do.

Because I’m the worst enemy of any tag team wrestler – when I have tag matches I’m not thinking hey I have a partner or someone to back me up … no I just look at it as I’m in a war and I have ally but I refuse to say oh ya were a tag-team … no it’s worse then that for you see Reno and I – were the Iconoclast, that’s not just a team, not just a unit, not just a group and not just a stable. We are two separate people with a common goal but at no point am I going to say I need my partner out there watching my back to get the job done…. Or pretending that without him I wouldn’t be able to be great as a tag team unit. You see as I checked the title histories it seems as if you Wynter’s are indeed the lackey for a reason. It seems that the only way you ever achieve anything in the tag team division is because you rely on CM Vyrus in order to be tag team champions. See Ryley – most of your successes seem to come from luck or from the fact that Vyrus is able to carry you to gold. Don’t think that’s the case – then tell me why he’s done it before. I mean really he’s carried both Blazenwing and Starla Gardevior to tag gold in the past.

So you see I think CM simply tolerates you so that he can have gold and a lackey, but know that you’ve started to step out into your own light by luckily gaining that Commonwealth Championship – ask how much longer you think Vyrus will tolerate you. After all you saw he beat Legend last week, he’s got other things going on – he’s going to be doing better things soon won’t he. How much longer will he need you Wynter’s?

How close are you really? – I bet not very … he probably too busy with his singles career to listen to you even and why because your just the lackey and he’s the star of the team everyone knows that. Course I’m probably wrong – I’m sure your great buddies I bet he always takes the time to answer your calls too …

Or maybe not I dunno – does your kind even have cell phones? Or do you use the two tin cans strung together by string?

This match is about trust and I know that the Cross & Clast side can trust one another because we have a bond out of respect but that doesn’t change the fact that were all very solo people who want to do things are own way. We don’t rely on help of others and that’s exactly what will make us so deadly… For we are separate freethinkers who just happen to know in this match we each have two other people we can trust fighting for the same thing. You see when you look down the line up of this match, you’ve got our team, which should also be known as the winners. However on the other side there is Nuclear Wynter and Legend a team of people who seems to try to be all about domination. Sure some would think that would make the strongest bond, however it is ultimately your weakness. For each of you want the power for yourselves and will do anything to get it, so none of you on that team can trust each other. It’s something I plan on exploiting there are un-resolved issues on your side Legend, Vyrus, Wynters and you’ll be lucky to hold it together and you know it. Anything that can be used as an advantage will be, and why because your not better then us. You might think you’re the greatest bunch ever but when push comes to shove, you will make mistakes because it has been said that there is pride before the fall and you all have to much undeserved pride as it is. So as you stand atop the world looking out, over the edge over all whom you think your rule over figuring nothing can touch you – you better be preparing for a fall…. Then again whether you do or not it really doesn’t matter. For I am right up there on top of the world with you – ready to shove. Shove I shall, and at that point I’ll watch you fall from your high perch and fall directly into what you fear most a mid card position in a world of mediocrity.

What’s more important Gold or God? – The answer is:

AJ DONAVON.
