(Cornellverse) The Amazing Avatars


Recommended Posts

First, let me compliment you on your writing. Your a great writer, and reading your stories is humorous, and to tell the truth, hard to stop reading (can't wait to here what happens next). Bassically, your top notch in my book. I just want to make that clear.

 

Anti, I'm going to say some things that are meant to be taken lightly, and not to be taken as an insult.

 

The only concern I have is how "racy" some of your content is. There are children that read these diary's here, and I just think some of your content might be a bit much. I ask you to keep in mind that there are a number of kids on these forums 14 and younger.

 

Again, I want to make it clear that I absolutely love reading your diary, and I definately can't wait for the next installment. I don't want to come off the wrong way.

 

Well, thank you for the compliment. Actually I agree with you that, so far, things have been over the top with Ernie, the Carpet Cleaning Crew, and the Naughty Ninja. But this was done, in part, to show how far some wrestlers, including Jake, can fall, and how, with the help of friends and family, one can eventually redeem one's self. That plus, as time goes on, the focus will broaden out to include more normal gimmicks/workers. But those changes will all come naturally, as a result of story progression.

I don't know if you were here when a Picture pack was pulled from the mod section because it was a pic-mod of, well... Porn stars. So keeping that in mind, I just want to make sure the story get's told:)</p>

<p>“You’re gonna need some announcers. Probably some more managers as well as expanding the roster too.” My father had no problem giving his opinion, whether I had asked for it or not.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/TheGrandAvatar.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

“I don’t know, I have an awful lot of money tied up in tv and radio ads now. I am not sure if we’ll have the money for all that.”</p><p> </p><p>

He reached across the desk and handed me a stack of papers. “That’s a contract to air one hour of taped wrestling late night, once every week, on the National Pride Network. They’ll provide the equipment and editing studios, but you’ll have to front the production costs and give up all the ad revenue to the network. it’s a leap I know, but with the war between Cornell and Eisen heating up, it won‘t be long and people will be clamoring for wrestling again.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

He must have noticed the blank look on my face. “Its for one season. If we don’t like it, we’re not obligated for anything after that. Also, I’ve already fronted them the first month’s worth of production fees out of my own pocket.”</p><p> </p><p>

“Dad…”</p><p> </p><p>

“And here’s a tape consisting of some matches and promos from guys I’ve already contacted for working the Mean Time show. Once you watch it I am sure you will call them and can work out the details.”</p><p> </p><p>

He stood up then and began to walk to the door. “Wait. Dad, why?”</p><p> </p><p>

He looked up at the ceiling as he answered. “All my life I’ve worked for other people. Made a good living at it, but I watched as I helped to make them rich, and in the process, tear families apart and turn good people like my brother into bitter old men. Seemed like the entire Avatar clan was always destined to do someone else’s bidding. But now, we have a chance to build something for us, for the family. I am not gonna sit by without helping as much as I can. From here on out, whatever you need, just ask.”</p><p> </p><p>

Speechless, I looked at the index on the tape, and one name in particular caused all the blood to drain from my face.</p><p> </p><p>

“How did you get ahold of him?”</p><p> </p><p>

“That guy?” He laughed. “His dad owed me a few favors from long ago. So I called him up, found out he was available, and made a tentative agreement. He’s waiting on the final word from you.”</p><p> </p><p>

“But this… this changes everything.”</p><p> </p><p>

He thought it over for a second and then nodded in agreement. “I guess it does. Talk with you later, Jake.”</p><p> </p><p>

And with that, he walked out of my office.</p><p> </p><p>

Stunned, I sat in my chair for a while and thought over what he’d said. Eventually I plugged in the tv and vcr and began watching the tape. Impressed with what I saw, I picked up the phone and dialed the number for one of the other wrestlers I saw. I’d wait to calm down before calling ‘him’.</p><p> </p><p>

“Hello, is this Jacob Jett? Hi, my name is Jake Avatar…”</p>

He’ll be wrestling you tonight for the world title.”</p><p> </p><p> “Damn, and I just got the new belt. Oh well. I am gonna go talk to him.

Tamara looked around in the crowd to see if she should, with most of the audience shouting out warnings. She did shake his hand, which allowed Davis to pull her in as he kneed her in the gut. He then lashed her back with several clubbing forearms, causing Tamara to fall to the mat. He picked her up by her hair and then punched her several times in the face, causing her lip to split open.</p><p> </p><p> Davis grabbed her by the throat and backed Tamara into a corner where he began to taunt her. Tamara finally managed to shove Davis away, and as he approached again she spit blood in his face. Irate, he charged her, but she hoisted herself on the top turnbuckle and caught Davis in a head scissors. She then kept him at bay with a series of kicks, the last of which Davis caught her leg. Tamara then hit Davis with an Enziguri and she quickly ran to the nearest corner. After climbing to the top rope, she leapt off and caught Davis with the McFly in the Ointment. She quickly covered him and got the three count.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Tamara McFly via McFly in the Ointment</strong></p><p><strong> Time: 6:02</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: D</strong></p><p> </p><p> After the match the crowd began to chant at Davis Wayne Newton. “You lost to a girl,” resounded through the arena as the young man covered his ears and ran back to the dressing room.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Backstage:</strong></p><p> </p><p> I made sure I was there to see Davis apologize to Tamara for busting her lip.

Burning Exile was an acquaintance of Takayuki’s from Japan, rumored to have a bad attitude, but maybe the language barrier kept that in check.</p><p> </p><p> So far, most of the matches hadn’t been all that great, so I was hoping these two would be able to compensate for that. They started out with a series of collar and elbow tie ups with neither man getting an advantage. Eventually, Exile grew tired of this and began to throw punches before grabbing Trent in a headlock. Trent shot Exile into the ropes, and then dropped to the mat as Exile ran back. Exile hopped over Trent and went to the opposite side of the ring. Back up, Trent then leap frogged Exile. He then turned, and as Exile ran towards him again, grabbed Exile and sent him air borne. Exile crashed down to the mat and Trent immediately put him in an arm bar.</p><p> </p><p> The hold lasted a while, until Exile stood, flipped forward, then backwards, then used his momentum to reverse the hold. Trent then flipped forward as well, then backwards, reversed the hold, then pulled Exile down, whereupon Trent Fell back, broke the hold, and kicked Exile as he went for a kip-up. </p><p> </p><p> Frustrated, Exile charged Trent, and the two began exchanging punches, until Exile sent Trent into the ropes and hit him with a running knee to the face. He went for the pin.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>ONE</strong></p><p><strong> TWO</strong></p><p> </p><p> Trent kicked out, and Exile ran to the ropes, leapt to the second rope and launched into a moonsault. Trent brought both knees up in response, catching Exile in the abdomen. Trent then scooped Exile up and tried for a power bomb, but Exile rocked backwards and turned the move into a hurricanrana.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>ONE</strong></p><p> </p><p> Trent kicked out, but was poked in the eye as he tried to stand. Exile then struck Trent with a series of chops, the last of which caught Trent in the throat. As he gasped for air, Trent leaned forward, and Exile grabbed him in a front face lock and then struck him with several knees before gaining the double underhooks and hoisting Trent up for a butterfly suplex. </p><p> </p><p> Trent crashed to the mat, and again Exile was quickly up and moving towards the corner. There he climbed up top and launched off with a 450 Splash, but at the last second, Trent rolled away. </p><p> </p><p> Trent draped his arm over Exile.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>ONE</strong></p><p><strong> TWO</strong></p><p><strong> TWO AND A HALF</strong></p><p> </p><p> Exile brought his shoulder up just in time. Both men slowly climbed to their feet as Joker The Pimp announced over the intercom that one minute remained in the time limit.</p><p> </p><p> The two men then stared at each other before both ran to opposite sides of the ring. They then crashed together in dual cross body blocks and landed in a heap. As they both stood, again, they attempted the same maneuver at the same time. Both drop kicks missed their mark. The two men stood once more and then traded punches. Exile tried a spinning kick on Trent, who ducked, and caught Exile on his way around and hoisted him up to his shoulders. He then pitched sideways and rolled with the move, planting Exile in the mat with a Death Valley Driver. Trent then covered his opponent.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>ONE</strong></p><p><strong> TWO</strong></p><p><strong> TWO AND A HALF</strong></p><p> </p><p> The bell sounded, and Trent stood wearily with his arms raised, but the ref began to talk to him and soon it became obvious that the time had expired just as he was about to pin Exile. The ref then spoke with Joker the Pimp, who made it official.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Draw due to time limit</strong></p><p><strong> Time: 15:00</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: D+</strong></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Backstage:</strong> </p><p> I thanked both wrestlers as they came back to the locker room.

Then they went and bragged about their group, the Hardliners.”</p><p> </p><p> “But that’s okay. Growing up I learned early on that the Masked Avatar had anger issues. Always going from promotion to promotion, trying his best, and coming up short every time. He looks at us and sees the next generation right on his heels. So he does what he feels he has to. As for Steve Flash and Jack Griffith. Who knows what their deal is, but they seem fine with following my uncle around, so at least we know where they stand.”</p><p> </p><p> My brother Jack then spoke. “But the problem isn’t all that, its what you guys did afterwards. Recruiting our step brother Charles into your clique. Filling him with stories about how he was the ‘Black Sheep’ of the family, and why he needed to stick his nose in the World Title Final match.”</p><p> </p><p> “Well, I spoke with Eisaku Hoshino, and asked him, but he can’t quite find it in his heart to forgive you Charles. And I can see why he feels that way. So I made him an offer. Tonight, Jake, Eisaku Hoshino, and myself are gonna team up. We want our uncle, our step brother, and Jack Griffith in a six man tag match. No time limit, no DQ. It might be too late for the rest of you, but we hope if we can beat some sense into Charles maybe he’ll see the light!”</p><p> </p><p> I finished the promo before exiting the ring. “Oh, and one last thing. Don’t worry about what you’ll be doing tonight, Steve Flash. I’ve scheduled you to defend the GWA World title against a mystery opponent. A man who sympathizes with the troubles wrestling families sometimes face. We’ll be waiting to hear from you soon.”</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rating: C-</strong> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong>Backstage:</strong></p><p> While not a home run, I felt the promo did its job by setting up several matches for later, and built upon the cruiserweight match from earlier in the night. Next all we needed was a strong match, and then I looked at the booking sheet.</p><p> </p><p> “Crap on a stick!” The Nation of Filth must have thought I was talking about them because they both walked over.</p><p> </p><p> “Hey Jake, why do you have us wrestling the lesbians tonight? Don’t we deserve better,” Grunt asked.</p><p> </p><p> “Yeah,” his partner Stink chimed in, “not to mention what if one of them tries to cop a feel. It’s really cold out there in the arena…”</p><p> </p><p> I just stared at him.</p><p> </p><p> “Why do you two always spring this b.s. on me at the last possible minute? Look, we can talk about this later. Now get out of here. Don’t worry about your intro music, I picked the song out myself this time, okay? So, go already.”</p><p> </p><p> They must have sensed my frustration, as they left without bothering me any more. The nerve of those guys. Good thing I had stopped by the music store earlier. Payback would be so much fun.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25090" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>GWA World Tag Team Title Tournament Semifinal Match 1:</strong></span><p> </p><p> <strong>The Nation of Filth</strong></p><p><strong> Grunt and Stink</strong></p><p> <span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Grunt.jpg</span><span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Stink.jpg</span></p><p> </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/NHozn0YXAeE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Hanson - MMMBop (Official Music Video)"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> vs.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Carpet Cleaning Crew</strong></p><p><strong> Corrine White and Viv Jacobs</strong></p><p> <span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Female%20Wrestlers/CorrineWhite.jpg</span><span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Female%20Wrestlers/VivJacobs.jpg</span></p><p> </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3fBdgZUtpBg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Katy Perry- I kissed a girl (OFFICAL MUSIC VIDEO)"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> The less said about this match, the better.

<p><strong>Continued from Part One of Mean Time</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Backstage:</strong></p><p>

Alicia Strong walked in right on time, with her gear all set and ready to go. She followed me out to the hallway so I could talk to her privately.</p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Female%20Wrestlers/AliciaStrong.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

“Here’s your belt back. If you want, there is no reason to go through with this.”</p><p> </p><p>

“Oh really? After I promised the fans and everything, huh? What, is Kate refusing to do business now?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Well, no, but you see-”</p><p> </p><p>

“Daddy warned me you guys might try to pull something, that’s why he made me bring along my insurance policy.” She looked behind me.</p><p> </p><p>

I turned and saw a human wall. My neck craned up and up and up.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/BrucetheGiant.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

“Hi there Bruce. Guess you’ll be accompanying Alicia out to the ring?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Grar wrar mor lon grar!”</p><p> </p><p>

I don’t know what he said exactly, but I got the message.</p><p> </p><p>

“Alrighty then. If two wanna go see the sound guy about your intro music we can start getting ready for your match. Excuse me please”</p><p> </p><p>

I walked back into the locker room and gathered up Kate, Jack, Takayuki, my Uncle, and Waldo. I explained the situation to them. My Uncle got upset at Kate for her unwillingness to lose, and walked off. Jack and Takayuki said they back up Kate, whatever happened.</p><p> </p><p>

With Waldo, I had to be very, very specific.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

“I want you to be waiting out in the audience now. If Bruce the Giant lays one finger on Kate, you jump the rail. It is absolutely necessary that you DEFEND KATE AT ALL COSTS! Do you understand me?”</p><p> </p><p>

He said he did, so I let him leave to find a place close to the ring.</p><p> </p><p>

After that, all the males in our conversation departed and Kate gave me a hug. “You really shouldn’t worry. I can handle myself.” She smiled.</p><p> </p><p>

“I’m not taking any chances. Make sure you know where Bruce is at all times, okay?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Alright, Jake. I promise.”</p><p> </p><p>

She left to finish whatever last minute stuff she had to do.</p><p> </p><p>

I stood there, fending off a panic attack, when suddenly a smoke bomb was tossed at my feet and Fumihiro Ota appeared.</p><p> </p><p>

I looked him over. “Now is not a good time, Fumi.”</p><p> </p><p>

“I happened to overhear what was said with my super ninja hearing while I was spying on the women’s bathroom. I believe that I can be of some help to you, should push come to shove.”</p><p> </p><p>

“Well, that’s nice Fumi, but what can you do to help against Bruce? And besides, why would you want to help us anyway?”</p><p> </p><p>

He looked at me in shock. “Section Eighteen of the Ninja code states one must always aid a damsel in distress. Everyone knows that.”</p><p> </p><p>

“You want to see Kate’s underwear, don’t you?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Oh yes.” He practically moaned. “And here is how I can help.” He pulled out some ancient ninja scroll and showed it to me.</p><p> </p><p>

After reading the first few lines, I could only say, “What the hell-” Before I heard the announcer start the introductions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>GWA Women’s Title Tournament Final match:</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Alicia Strong</strong></p><p>

<strong>Kate Avatar</strong></p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Female%20Wrestlers/KateAvatar.jpg</span></p><p>

 

</p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/JBtarnrlXIE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Kittie - Run Like Hell"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p>

As one might imagine, the match was a cluster from the start. Alicia, worried about Kate, didn’t give her anything. Kate, having to keep one eye on Bruce, wasn’t comfortable giving Alicia anything either.</p><p> </p><p>

This went on for over ten minutes. Plenty of failed attempts and stalling. Eventually they tied up and Alicia elbowed Kate above her right eye, causing blood to flow. From the monitor I could see Kate smile.</p><p> </p><p>

“Oh Hell! Everyone get ready!”</p><p> </p><p>

Now, before I continue, I should probably explain, so everyone understands the context here. I am sure that as the daughter of Sam Strong, and being trained by the best, Alicia is a tough girl who can handle her own.</p><p> </p><p>

Kate, however, is a different animal. She grew up in a wrestling family where the father was rarely home. This meant that Kate’s brothers, all huge wrestling fans, would use her to try out their fancy wrestling moves. My father, when he came home, the last thing he wanted to hear was complaints about rough housing. So Kate learned very early in life that if she wanted peace, she’d have to fight for it.</p><p> </p><p>

So she began working out. Strength training. Cardio. She watched MMA, and checked out books about fighting from the library. She made dad sign her up for classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Kick Boxing. Dad introduced her to retired female wrestlers. Not the legends of Japan, but the mean, bitter women who never made it and thus had no problem taking out their frustrations on a young, good looking girl from a respected family.</p><p> </p><p>

By the age of twelve she was beating up Jack and myself. At sixteen she could kick my uncle’s ass, when not busy winning amateur BJJ tournaments. At seventeen she hopped on a plane and went to Thailand to train Muay Thai. And at Nineteen she turned pro wrestler, comfortable in the knowledge that she could handle herself against anyone, at any time.</p><p> </p><p>

That is how, after Alicia landed her elbow, Kate lashed out with two lightening fast kicks to Alicia’s left thigh. And as Sam Strong’s pride and joy screamed out, Kate spun and caught Alicia right in the stomach with a spinning back kick. </p><p> </p><p>

Alicia doubled over, and I could hear her trying to draw air all the way from the locker room. Kate quickly launched herself at the girl, pulling her down with a double leg take down and transitioned into a legit heel hook in the blink of an eye.</p><p> </p><p>

Alicia couldn’t call out for Bruce, as the air had been knocked out from her, but she could tap the mat furiously, and I knew as soon as the ref signaled for the bell if anything was gonna go down, it would be then. Jack, Takayuki and myself started running.</p><p> </p><p>

Bruce climbed up the apron and stepped over the top rope. Kate was on the opposite side of the ring but stood there, defiant. </p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/BrucetheGiant.jpg</span></p><p>

And something that would haunt my dreams forever, where was Waldo?</p><p> </p><p>

Waldo, where the hell are you!?!?!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Kate Avatar via being a badass</strong></p><p><strong>

Time: 12:17</strong></p><p><strong>

Rating: D+</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Segment 5:</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

We had just reach the top of the ramp to see Bruce charge at Kate. She side stepped him, but she didn’t take into consideration the added reach of someone his size would have. He stuck out a hand and had grabbed Kate by the hair. He turned and swung, and although she managed to block some of it, he punched her in the face. Later we would learn he had broken her jaw. He pulled his fist back to strike again but we were in the ring now, and he saw us, which caused him to toss Kate down to the mat.</p><p> </p><p>

I was about to rush the big man when suddenly someone grabbed me from behind and began yelling in my ear.</p><p> </p><p>

“You stink at running a wrestling company! Jack is a much better wrestler than you, and I heard that the ladies think he’s better looking too, despite you being identical twins!”</p><p> </p><p>

I turned and was face to face with Waldo.</p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/WeirdWaldoOdlaw.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

“What the **** are you doing?!?!”</p><p> </p><p>

Crestfallen, Waldo looked at his feet and whimpered. “I thought you said I must offend Jake at all costs. You are Jake right, or are you Jack? I get you two confused so easily.”</p><p> </p><p>

I shoved him aside and looked back at Bruce, who, by this time, must have thrown Jack and Takayuki from the ring. The giant literally roared and began to advance on me, when suddenly, from the corner of my eye, a black shape darted into the ring.</p><p> </p><p>

Oh hell, not him.</p><p> </p><p>

Before myself and certain death stood one man. A perverted ninja with severe facial discoloration.</p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/FumihiroOta_alt15.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

He held one hand out to Bruce, as if in warning, and then, with that same hand, he began his ancient ritual.</p><p> </p><p>

He pointed up, up. Then down, down. Then left, right. Again, left, right. He then formed the letter B, and then the letter A. And then he shouted.</p><p> </p><p>

“START!!!”</p><p> </p><p>

He tossed at least a dozen smoke bombs in the ring as, from above, approximately thirty ninjas dropped down from the ceiling and immediately attacked Bruce. One ninja, in a torn white karate outfit, shouted “Haduken” and was suddenly shooting fireballs out of his hands. </p><p> </p><p>

Another one shouted “Falcon Punch!” And performed a move that looked just like this on Bruce’s face.</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw" rel="external nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw</a></p><p> </p><p>

Bruce flew from the ring. As all the ninja’s began to vanish, Kate got back to her feet. Fumi held out his arms for a hug, but I don’t think she saw him. Together we all walked back to the locker room as Bruce and Alicia were escorted out of the building by security.</p><p> </p><p>

Steve never had much offense until Dan missed a knee drop. Steve then gained control after several illegal choke holds and a series of suplexes.

<p>I picked up the phone.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

“Mitch Naess? Hi, this is Jake Avatar again. How would you like to work for me as my play by play man? Okay, if there is a hell I seriously doubt it would ever get that cold there. What? Yeah I was dropped on my head once and became immune to sarcasm. By the way, I am looking at your nude pictures here… yeah, I can see why they call you the Loch Naess Monster. What, you will work for me? Great, I’ll have my secretary fax over a contract. Nice talking to you.”</p><p> </p><p>

I was on a roll. In addition to Mitch, I had signed Playboy Sawyer as another manager and had just finished negotiating with John Maverick for a short term deal. He would work primarily for NOTBPW, but the GWA could have him on his off days. And finally, Charles told me he was talking to Louis Figo Manico about wrestling here in the states. Apparently Louis was a little fed up with wrestling at the moment, but Charles said he thought he could turn him around.</p><p> </p><p>

So, once again, life was good. The publicity from the Alicia/Kate fiasco had made us the talk of the internet for a while. The TV show would start soon, just in time to take advantage of that. Kate would be out for a few weeks with the hairline fracture in her jaw, but that was alright. She’s been through far worse than that.</p><p> </p><p>

Yep. I may have even sighed as I kicked my feet up on my desk. Until Duncan Kendall came barging in.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/Eclectic%20Stuff/DuncanKendall.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

“Jake Avatar?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Yes? Hey, aren’t you Duncan-”</p><p> </p><p>

He handed me a stack of papers and began to gyrate around my office in an attempt to do the Robot. “You’ve just been SERVED!”</p><p> </p><p>

“You mean like a break dancing contest?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Nope, read the papers. I’m a process server for the law firm that represents Sam Strong. He’s suing you. And I’m doing the robot because I like to rub it in when I tell people ‘You’ve just been SERVED’! Now pop it and lock it! Pop it, and lock it!”</p><p> </p><p>

“Is this some kind of joke? You’re a respected Road Agent, why would you be working as a process server?”</p><p> </p><p>

He stopped moving, then quickly dropped to the carpet and began spinning around on his butt. “Because I love telling people they got SERVED!” And aside from being a process server, the only other jobs that include that perk are waiter and tennis line judge.”</p><p> </p><p>

Hmm. My father had complained the other day that being the only road agent in the company was tough, especially with the new TV show coming up. Plus, in another flash of genius, I recalled that every successful promoter in history not only had a great booker, great in ring talent, and an enforcer, but they also had their very own locker room stooge.</p><p> </p><p>

“How’d you like a job Duncan? You can help put matches together and keep an ear out for trouble. If you hear anything, you report back to me and tell them ‘you got served’ when I reprimand them. Sound good to you?”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I leaned over to see Duncan now balancing himself on his head as his legs flailed about wildly.</p><p> </p><p>

“Sure, I’ll do it.” He then fell backwards and crab walked out of my office.</p><p> </p><p>

Right then and there I should have looked over the papers Duncan had handed me. But I simply tossed them all in a drawer and promptly forgot about them.</p><p> </p><p>

Bad mistake.</p>

<p>Awesome awesome diary. </p><p> </p><p>

I bookmarked Generation Supreme. i have TCW A Quiet Retirement bookmarked. And now this one.</p><p> </p><p>

Great storytelling. Great characters. And legitimately funny writing. </p><p> </p><p>

This might've been the best line I've seen on on the boards ever: "But I was told it went down like your typical ‘Big Man versus a Mexican’ match. Meaning The Big Problem lumbered around the ring as Champagne Lover installed drywall at a very reasonable price." <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

He covered Trent for the three count.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Burning Exile via an Enziguri</strong></p><p><strong> Time: 13:57</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: D+</strong></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25090" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Segment Two:</strong></span><p> </p><p> This segment went longer than intended and would have to be edited down for broadcast.

He left after promising even more in the future.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rating: D</strong></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25090" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>GWA Cruiserweight Tournament Final Match:</strong></span><p> </p><p> <strong>Takayuki Avatar</strong></p><p> <span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/TakayukiAvatar.jpg</span></p><p> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZnL10hGcWI" rel="external nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZnL10hGcWI</a></p><p> </p><p> Vs.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Jacob Jett</strong></p><p> <span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/JacobJett.jpg</span></p><p> </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/83gddxVpitc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Alice In Chains - Grind (Official Video)"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> Match began slowly, as Jacob would stall before and after every exchange. Taka eventually rushed him, knocking JJ out of the ring where Taka followed with a springboard cross body block. Once back in the ring, Taka shot JJ into the ropes and just crushed him with a spinning lariat. Taka then got a two count on the pin attempt.</p><p> </p><p> Taka then went for and missed a Shooting Star Press.

And this week, his twin brother Jake is in for a rude surprise. But my battle isn’t with them, its with you, Eisaku Hoshino. Word is you’ve been crying around the locker room about how you would be GWA World Champion if it wasn’t for me. Like I took the title away from you or something.”</p><p> </p><p> “Well, Hoshino, if you really think that, then know that it won’t be all I take from you. We meet in the ring, I’ll take your blood, your pride, and maybe even your life!”</p><p> </p><p> Charles then started throwing quick, viscous looking punches at the wall.</p><p> </p><p> “I’m the black sheep of the family, born and raised on the shady side of Avatar town, if you know what I mean. So at GWA Wreckage, when I turn off your lights, you’ll know why I make darkness my home.”</p><p> </p><p> And we cut to commercial as Charles keeps punching away.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rating: C+</strong></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25090" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Main Event:</strong></span><p> </p><p> <strong>The Masked Avatar</strong></p><p> <span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/TheMaskedAvatar.jpg</span></p><p> </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/u1xY7Heaqg8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Jethro Tull - Aqualung"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> vs.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Jake Avatar</strong></p><p> <span>http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af61/GateControlTheory/JackAvatar.jpg</span></p><p> </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/JmfvySZBY7g?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="The World Without Logos - Hellsing"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> While it had been over half a year ago since the coma, I still didn’t feel one hundred percent. My strength was back, but I felt like I was half a step slower then at my peak. Of Course, my peak was quite some time ago anyway, but rather than reflect on just how far I fell, I’d rather talk about how this match went.</p><p> </p><p> I began by throwing punches right at the bell, but my uncle didn’t sell any of them. Instead he just forced me into a corner, told me to not move, and began a ‘welcome back’ series of chops which turned my chest an angry red color. Must have been at least fifty chops in all, thrown rapid fire. It had a machine gun quality to it that brought the crowd to their feet.</p><p> </p><p> At first I believed he was trying to get even with me for all my recent screw ups, but after he switched to the leg kicks, I guess I realized what he was doing was pushing me, trying to see just what my limits were.</p><p> </p><p> Next he scooped me up on his shoulder and ran across the ring, ramming my back into the opposite turnbuckle. I really don’t remember too much after that, except that thinking I wasn’t in a match, but a fight.</p><p> </p><p> He gave me a black eye and popped my left ear drum. I busted his nose with a head butt and tore part of his mask off as I slung him around the ring.</p><p> </p><p> In the end, I think he hit me with his finisher. I know that as he pinned me he whispered, “you did great.” That was the first compliment he gave me in nearly ten years.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Masked Avatar via Pain By Proxy</strong></p><p><strong> Time: 18:18</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: C+</strong></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">GWA Global Meltdown Episode Two Final Rating: C</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Broadcast Rating: 0.03 Viewers</span></strong></span></p>
