R.O.F.L Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The Name... T.J. Hooker. The Place... Hollywood, California, My apartment to be exact. In 1982, I was brought in as a replacement mid-season on ABC in my television role as a police officer, it very well reflected my real life. In 1985, my show was canceled, something about not being popular enough for ABC. I didn't let that go, but I had to. CBS allowed me and my legacy to survive, picking up the show, I guess I was still able to get myself some dinner on the table every night again. After the contract was signed, I was expecting to see myself on television every night after filming was finished, but something was not explained properly. Every night that I went to watch, I was told that I would get the same air-time as I got on ABC, so naturally, I tuned in at about 7:30 PM. After about an hour, I thought maybe the show got delayed, so I kept watching. At around 10 PM I lost faith, and went to sleep, only to notice I left the TV on. As I woke up, I finally noticed T.J. Hooker on air. I was pleased, but only for a second, before I noticed the time. It was 1 AM. I figured I might as well go to sleep. The Next day, I woke up, and got an letter from the CBS executive, the bastard. He wanted me in his office ASAP. I wasn't going to let an opportunity like this pass up. I waited in the holding room, before being called in as... ugh, William. I didn't know why I was being called like this, my name is T.J. Hooker, and I've been on ABC as a true story for 3 years ! Anyways, I got into the office, and asked why I was being called "William" and how my name is T.J. Hooker. He apologized for the "Inconvenience" he caused me. I knew he was being sarcastic. He told me that T.J. Hooker was not building enough of an audience each night, and I explicitly told him, in uncensored fashion, that if my show is on at 1 AM every day, there aren't going to be any people watching. He pretended as if he didn't hear me, and blamed it on my acting skills. He told me that I need to step it up or that I would get fired. I tried to explain to him once more, but I was already out of the office. About a month later, I woke up, and turned on the morning headlines, my usual routine. But today, today was different. The headline kept playing through my mind. "Actor William Shatner AKA T.J. Hooker Dead". How could this be, I mean, I was lying in my bed wasn't I ? I woke up didn't I ? So I drove straight to CBS Headquarters, and this time, I wasn't allowing myself to be escorted out, and I was still wondering why I was being called "William". I got to the office, and didn't even allow them to call me in, I was in no mood to be courteous. I walked into the office, and immediately started screaming. He told me that CBS told FOX news that I was dead to prevent having to pay me off, and that since I was proclaimed dead, it would prevent me from being able to call a lawsuit, without of course having to come out of "Death" and having my reputation tarnished. The Nerve of the bastard, telling everybody that I was dead, so he wouldn't have to fire me or pay me off ? He told me "William, I'm sorry things did not work out, and that you'll have to find something else to do because your show is not as popular as it used to be..." That, Set me off. -"You JERK ! How the hell do you think you can do this to me !? You think you tell everybody I'm dead ? You think you can fire me without giving me my compensation ? And my Name is T.J. Hooker and I expect to be addressed that way !" -"WILLIAM !!! YOU'RE DELUSIONAL ! YOU'RE A 40 YEAR OLD MAN TRYING TO KEEP YOUR LEGACY ALIVE ! It's Over. Take it as it is. That's Show Business, I'm protecting you from making a mistake, it's just over." I stormed out, and immediately went back to my apartment, in exile. I soon fell into a sleep that I would never awake from. At least, not in my mind... In December, my neighbors informed Re-Max that my apartment was inhabited, so they could commence offers. As open house guests poured into my apartment, somebody decided they would tour the bedrooms, and soon enough, they found me, lying in bed. They called 9-1-1, but It was no use, I would not awake. I was brought to the hospital, emergency room to be exact, and I was pronounced dead at 10:34 AM. Unfortunately, they were wrong, again. The intern that was taking care of me in my hospital room did not check the life support system, I was merely in a coma, not dead, as my CBS, excuse me, FORMER-CBS associate said. There was pretty much no hope, and no faith for me. I awoke for the first time in March 1988, but what for ? I had nothing left, I was fired from CBS, and I couldn't really go back and sue them. I was forced back into exile. I considered suicide a couple times, but I could not bring myself to death. I was stuck in between the lines. My only real hope, the WWF. I started watching them back in my youth days, and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I was unable to watch it when I was filming due to my frantic schedule. It was only now that I was able to garner my passion for it again. In 2000, after Ten Years of denial over the end of my Television Career as T.J. Hooker, and after just accepting that I am William Shatner, not T.J. Hooker, I realized something. Vince McMahon was ruining Professional Wrestling, and somebody needed to do something about it. I heard about a Time Machine being developed, and an Idea sparked in my head. The fans would eventually hate Vince McMahon for ruining professional wrestling, because it would eventually happen if things continued how they were. I decided that I would make a visit to Mr. McMahon... To Be Continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.O.F.L Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 The Continuation I did as much research as I could on Vince McMahon, His Father, His Mother, does he have brothers, sisters, kids ? Anything I could find, I was using it, and then, I found something that was perfectly usable. The WWF Headquarters. I'd been wondering where the damn thing was ever since I started watching it, and I learned something else. Turns out my childhood friend was the one working on the Time Machine. So I already had connections... My Plan was coming to fruition. I would hide out at the WWF Headquarters, and watch for Vince McMahon to come out, and basically abduct him, and explain to him what we are doing. I immediately set out to get a plane ticket to Connecticut, and planned out my route to Stamford. It was a long 5 Hour Plane ride from Hollywood to Connecticut, and about a 1 hour drive to Stamford, but I eventually found the Headquarters, and planned out my spot. I was camped out there until 6 PM before McMahon finally walked out. His entourage was not with him so it was perfect timing. I jumped out and took him from behind, put him to sleep and put him in my trunk. I took the 1 Hour drive back to the airport, and headed back to Hollywood, with McMahon in a duffel bag. You might find it cruel but seriously, can you blame me, I'm trying to abduct a guy, I'm not going to bring him on the plane with me ! Anyways, As soon as I got off the plane, I went and got the duffel bag, and lugged him back to my car. It was a short drive back home, but this time I was headed to my friend's, the one who created the Time Machine. As I got there, I untied Vince and put him in a chair, and briefed him on the plan. There was a sense of anger from him... "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME !?" He was tense. So, I had to put him right back to sleep and brought him through the time machine. And you'll never guess what time period we got back in. 1983. April to be exact. I could finally get those bastards at CBS the piece of my mind that I never got to give them. I headed to HQ, and brought Vince along with me so he could take over the booker, but he pretty much didn't care about what was really happening. He basically took control of Booking, and passed it down to me. So now, I've gone from an assistant to this plan to help him get back on track, and now I'm in control, I want to say this isn't what I wanted but it really is. Now I can make sure that Vince doesn't screw this one up... Next Up, Roster and Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
