You ever do something just to say F$%k you to a person. The biggest drive being the resentment and contrariness. Monday was a day that Neil went into yet another F$%king tag match. He may have been teamed with a fellow New Yorker but the guy was a F$%king idiot.

"Bjorn suddenly drops to his knees as Fracas stands up behind him and turns around. The fans are shocked as the steel chair cracks over the head of Neil, taking him back down to the canvas."

Neil was in a long match and this F$%kin idiot just clocked him with a steel chair. Neil was damn near out and one word repeated through his mind helping him focus his thoughts.

"F#$K!!!!!!!!!"

That same word was used on Bjorn, Adolph, Vince, Hughes, Ryan, Jack, Epic, Lanier, and everyone else short of NEW and Artemis. It isn’t because he likes Artemis any more then the rest of his inmates it is just thinking the words "Artemis" and "F#$k" in the same sentence sends a chill down his spine. Still there was redemption. This wasn’t a tag match this was a match with 2 singles wrestlers being fed to a new tag team. Neil may not be a tag wrestler now. Still when he was a tag team wrestler the Alliance did the unthinkable when they came in and they held the tag titles 5 months a record that isn’t going to be beat anytime soon.

Now it is time to start making an impact. Course it is next to impossible to do that. Is Neil getting headway in the Icon division. Nope he is taking a step back and going against Ryan Mendez. F#$kin guy is nothing but a comedy act. He holds 2 wins against the Alliance and that pisses him off. There is no other person in over 3 years that has 2 wins over the Alliance. Most people can’t get one win. What happened? Neil was in a tag division he no longer cared about. The tag belts were a curse because Core couldn’t keep a tag team more then a few weeks.

How do you feel knowing that a division you took pride in was made a joke of by Matthew Lanier? Do you feel rage? Anger? Frustration? Pity? Sympathy?

Neil was fed up with the bullshit. Nothing new. First match as a singles wrestler was in a tag match. Second match is against one of the tag team champions. When Neil and Gideon were the tag champs they couldn’t get a singles match. Now these 2 jackasses are given free reign. Mendez is getting a Icon title push and Jack Diamond is getting a Legacy title shot this week. Gideon had to become a manager just so Neil could get some F$%king singles matches.

Ask Neil how he likes Core.

Go ahead and be prepared to run.

Your survival may depend on it.

"Bjorn continues to hold his back as he turns towards Neil Fracas who suddenly stands up and places him in a front facelock. The crowd begins to boo insanely once more as Neil drops down to the canvas, pulling Bjorn down into a diamond cutter. The fans are absolutely shocked to see this classic move pulled out of absolutely no where. Bjorn strikes the canvas hard before bouncing into the air and rolling onto his back."

Neil is a man on a very very short fuse. Vince Jones nearly cost them the damn match with a F$%king chair shot. Neil came damn close to being a curtain jerker for the latest flavor of the month tag team. Neil took this match with a Diamond Cutter. Just that quick the match was pulled out of the fire. Now he is facing Ryan Mendez. Things will be interesting. Gideon is managing him. They are going to meet today to cut a promo at the Core Arena. Afterwords there comes the plotting and planning. Neil isn’t going to lay down for any spike haired punk bitch wannabe jack off.

The first time meant nothing it was non title.

The second time was only for the tag titles.

This third time it involves Neil’s career.

NOBODY F$%KS WITH NEIL’S CAREER!!!

Time to go to the Core Arena. Gideon will be there.

#####################################

::Neil enters the Core arena. Gideon is there drinking a bottle of water. They walk towards the interview area.::

Gideon: When are the staples being removed Neil?

Neil: Thursday.

Gideon: Can’t say I’m surprised by this match. Lanier wants to set NEW and ASS against each other so that the Crimson Tide doesn’t have to deal with either stable.

Neil: Remind me why I haven’t driven his nuts into his pelvis with a bat yet?

Gideon: I think it is because castration with lumber is considered illegal in most states except Texas.

Neil: Is Smash going to be in Texas?

Gideon: Nope. Charlotte, North Carolina.

Neil: How are things with you and the morons?

Gideon: Good except for the house nearly killing me my first day there.

Neil: Why do you put up with that garbage Gideon? Hell I would have throttled all of them and the stooges in less then a week.

Gideon: You know why.

Neil: Is it worth it though?

Gideon: While you are facing Ryan I will be planning strategy with Jack and we will get into Jason’s head.

Neil: You going to be involved in the match?

Gideon: I am his manager and I hear managers occasionally interfere in matches.

Neil: Hughes is going to be pissed.

Gideon: And if I announce my return to active wrestling and Jack and I set up a best of 7 series that means that Jason Hughes will be out of the Legacy title picture for over 2 months.

Neil: Make it best of 11 so we get 3 months.

::Neil and Gideon laugh as they enter the interview room. They are snickering as they wait for the production crew to set up.::

Gideon: I have many plans. Do you realize there is no rules about having a marching band escort you to the ring? I could have 50 people around the ring and any one of them could be a former wrestler.

Neil: You didn’t get hit in the head while at their mansion did you?

Gideon: Believe me I felt like I did. By the way I got a pile of tapes for your promo they should be interesting props.

Neil: I saw the videos. I’m going to rip this schmuck down to the bare bones.

Gideon: I’m going to be just off camera Neil. Have fun.

::Neil is told they are ready. He is given the countdown. 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…::

Neil: Well well well. Look at my face I’m not happy. You know why I’m pissed? You have any F#$king inkling into why I’m so angry and bitter? Take a look at the tapes on the table. Here I’ll read them to you.

::Neil walks over to the table.::

Neil: "Home Alone". Lets see who Ryan Mendez maims with his house next. Lets go for the slapstick. How about a cage in the ceiling? That is pretty F$%kin humorous. Mabye he will blow someone up with fire works again. You know why I’m not laughing? This isn’t an HBO movie.

::Neil drills the tape at a wall and it shatters. Neil picks up the next one.::

Neil: "Dude where’s my car". You know how hard it is to watch some jackasses drag a house around with a helicopter trying to find an island? I had to put up with this shit before. NOT AGAIN!!

::Neil smashes it against the table shattering it. There is some shards stabbing his hand. Neil looks at his hand and removes the shards. He holds up the hand.::

Neil: LOOK AT MY F$%KING HAND!! SEE THE F$%KING BLOOD!! THIS ISN’T NO GOD DAMN F$%KING COMEDY MENDEZ THIS IS MY F$%KING CAREER!!

::Neil goes closer to the camera.::

Neil: Everything is a F$%king joke to you. You go around happy and playing the part of the F$%king clown. You are probably going to plan some jackass segment that should have been aired on America’s funniest home videos or what ever the F$%k you limey bastards use for comedy. You want to get on my nerves? YOU WANT TO F#$KING PISS ME OFF!! LOOK AT THIS HAND YOU PATHETIC F$%KING WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!! I BLED MORE FOR WRESTLING DURING THIS PROMO THEN YOU HAVE EVER BLED IN YOUR LIFE!!

::Neil looks at the camera with a cold hard stare.::

Neil: You want to talk talent and paying your dues? You want to be a wrestler? YOU WANT TO BREATHE MY F#$KING AIR ON SMASH!! I’ll tell you this once. I’m out to hurt you. I don’t care. You might get a fluke victory but I’ll make sure you are wheeled out of the arena in a pool of your own blood on a F#$king stretcher……

Gideon: Calm down Neil.

::Neil looks off camera at where the voice came from towards Gideon.::

Neil: You say calm down. I’ve been getting buried ever since I set foot in this god damn shit hole. You want to tell me to calm down Gideon. F$%k you. I’m going to curb stomp this bitch. For shits and giggles I might go after Lanier. I don’t give a F#%k who is in my way. I’ll break them one by one. That little shit head is getting a god push with Jack Diamond well there is going to be a new god. They ain’t going to pray to me but when I try and snap Mendez’s F$%king neck he will know that I’m holding his F$%king worthless existence in my hands.

::Neil holds up his hand.::

Neil: Look at the blood. You ever see your own blood Mendez? Did you ever see the face of the worthless cocksucker that made you spill it? I’m looking at my hand and I’m pissed off. This happened because of Matt Lanier and Ryan Mendez. I’m not looking at this as a f$%king game. This is my life. I have bled in shit hole feds and paid my dues. I have wrestled in federations where people died. I have buried some of my best friends in this sport. You know what it is like to lose something you care about Mendez? DO YOU HAVE ANY GODDAMN IDEA WHAT THE F#$K I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!!

::You can see the anger on Neil’s face. You can almost see the adrenaline coursing through his veins.::

Neil: You know why I do this? You know why the hell I go on? You know how I continued after having to put friends like Rick (Rick Rood/Rude) in the ground? I do it because I love wrestling and hate the business. You get useless jackasses like Lanier running the fed without any F#$king clue what a wrestler even is. Lanier looks at this as a hobby and thinks he knows his shit. You get useless idiots like Mendez running around being a comedy act. Play the part of the clown. Sell the T-shirts and be Lanier’s latest marketing whore. What comedy are you going to perform for us this week. What type of bullshit will you waste our F$%king time on now?

::Neil starts calming down a bit.::

Neil: There are 2 things that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Without wrestling I never would have met Stephanie and we never would have had Ricky. They say a man’s son changes him. They are right. I can’t just say F$%k it and go home now. When he grows up I want him to know that he is the son of two legends in wrestling. Then there is Lanier and his little games. He thinks he can break me. I’ve faced worse then him. I was in federations where a death at the arena wasn’t nothing more then the cost of running the show. How much do you figure your life is worth Mendez? What value do you put on your career? It is worth nothing and isn’t worth the quarter it would take to ask someone to care.

::Neil points towards Gideon off camera.::

Neil: Gideon gave up his career so I could get a chance to make a name for myself. I never asked him to or wanted him to. This was something he did because he wants me to have a chance then I get this shit.

::Neil takes off his jacket and shirt. He starts wrapping his hand with the shirt.::

Neil: You aren’t worth bleeding for Mendez. You are the wrestling equivalent of a Pauly Shore movie. Go with the fart gags and the slapstick. Make us F#$kin laugh clown. Be the jester of Core because you know when your career is over not a damn person will remember you as a wrestler they will remember you as a gimmick. Your one contribution and mark on wrestling will be that you made us laugh. You know what Ryan? I’m not laughing. I don’t find dealing with this shit week after week funny.

::Neil holds up his hand.::

Neil: See this hand. My blood is not the only blood you will be seeing. May 10th will be the day the comedy died. I go in with one goal. Make sure that Ryan Mendez never laughs again. Can you smile that cocky little grin of yours if I knock your teeth down your throat? Ever have your arm broken with a Painkiller armbar? If I get a chance I’m putting you out of this sport. I’m a shoot wrestler. If I wanted to I could have fought in the UFC or a dozen other Mixed Martial Arts organizations. Instead I’m taking every bit of meanness, resentment, and hatred out on you Mendez. Tell me a joke. Try and make me laugh and I’ll make you eat your F$%king molars. This isn’t a comedy on HBO. This is wrestling. I am tired of the bullshit and the politics. Matt Lanier hates ASS and they are still pushed like they are the second coming of Jesus.

::Neil points at the scars on his chest and back.::

Neil: These scars are nothing. I had over 100 staples in my body after a match with barbed wire. I had to strip down to my boxers because I had so much metal in my body that I set off the metal detectors. You know as embarrassing as it was for me to stand there with "Neil the Terrible" hanging out of the left leg of my boxers is nowhere near as embarrassing as fighting you this week Mendez. You took the sport I bled for and pissed on it. Guys in this sport I wrestled with that I saw retired and broken before they hit 50. Guys I buried when the sport ended their lives. What do you tell their kids when they see a guy like you pulling a comedy act promo that kills the sport? What the hell do you tell their family when you bury a 40 year old man in the ground?

::Neil looks at the camera.::

Neil: When I look Ricky in the eye I have to explain to him why Daddy was bleeding. What do I tell him when he asks me why I’m mad? How do I explain to Ricky why I am angry when you can’t even understand the rage? You are going to piss me off and I’m going to break you. I’m standing here and there is not a damn thing I can do about you treating this match like a joke. I can’t put the fear of god into you because you are an idiot. All I can do is plan how I’m going to hurt you bad. This Monday you won’t be laughing. If I hurt you bad enough you will learn what this sport means and there is going to be one less painted whore in Core.

::Neil walks away. The Cameramen stop shooting. Gideon follows as Neil goes to the locker room. Neil doesn’t say a word as he gets on a clean T-Shirt and puts it on.::

Gideon: This isn’t the way to go about things Neil.

Neil: Give me alternatives. Tell me that Ryan isn’t going to prance about and make a joke out of the match and try and kill my career.

Gideon: You know me better then to ask me to lie Neil.

Neil: Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t take offence at him being in the same sport that buried friends of mine.

Gideon: Because he is a decent guy.

Neil: He could even be the Pope Gideon. Man is eating away at my career like a cancer. I’m standing here and I’m thinking about the worthless clown holding me back.

Gideon: You end his career then what Neil?

Neil: Then I go after the next rung of the ladder.

::Neil puts on his jacket. Neil and Gideon walk away.::

What do you do when you are pushed to the edge?

Do you look over the edge?

Do you run away?

Do you stand your ground?

Do you curse those that put you there?

Do you try and figure out how you got there?

Do you have regrets?

Neil doesn’t know the answers but he knows this….

Monday will be the day the comedy died.
