Not so fast Joe!
It's late Saturday night after Jason Michaels won himself the Heritage title, Double J is making his way out to his rental in the parking lot of the Roanoke Sports Complex still soaking in his big win over Troy Vincent when Kip Anderson comes running up to him.
KA "Double J! Do you have a second? There is so much we have to cover about tonight!"
Double J smirks as he hears Kip running up to him from behind. Joe uses his keyfob to pop open the trunk on his rental and he sets his gear in it.
KA "Oh my god....Joe! I don't know where to begin."
Double J turns and faces Kip.
JJ "Let's start with Troy....Vincent starting on his quest for the Coronation cup down in his block with zero points."
KA "It has to feel good scoring the win over him tonight?"
JJ "Kip, Kip....Kip. It didn't feel good getting the win over him......"
Joe smirks as he looks up just searching in his mind for the right words to describe his feelings.
JJ "hehe. It felt un-fucking-believable....mind blowing! Mother fucking earth shattering NOT only in beating Troy Vincent.....It was an event that moves one soul in NOT only ending his winning streak......"
Joe holds his hands in front of them, his fingers spread apart as far as they go as Joe pauses to get his message across.
JJ "This took me back to the day Kip that....I had sex for the first time, and don't worry I'll keep it PG, That feeling for the first time when you are close.....to "finishing"...that built up pressure....the chill that runs up your spine, how your eyes roll in the back of your head and every fucking nerve in your body comes alive as you "unleash" your "love" for the very first time and how you feel that all the way to your core! That adrenaline rush you can only get that first time.........you know what I'm talking about right Kip?"
Joe looks Kip in the eye making sure he knows what he's getting at.
JJ "THAT'S....how it felt to make the mighty Troy Vincent.....TAP THE FUCK OUT IN MIDDLE OF THE GOD DAMN RING!!!!"
Joe's eyes get wide and he exhales and puts a fist on his chest and the other hand across his forehead.
KA "Well I can honestly say I have never had a victory explained quite like that."
Joe puts his hand on Kip's shoulder to brace himself as if he is drained. Joe takes a couple of deep breathes and shakes his head like he is trying to keep himself awake or wake himself up.
JJ "Everyone has been like, Will the real Double J please stand up and show yourself....well UWL tonight in that ring.....I left myself all over Troy Vincent's face! Not only did I take the fight to Troy and his little I'm too good to lose to you chip on that fucking shoulder of his and perhaps spoiled his chances to win that Coronation cup he holds near and dear to his heart......But I sent a message to EVERYONE in the UWL! This was more than a shot across the bow...it was a direct hit! I dumped everything that was holding me back....I free 'd myself of all distractions and got the job done here tonight! Kip I have 2 points! 2 whole wonderful points in my block and I love those god damn 2 points! Troy though...he has none meaning he has to run the gauntlet against everyone in the our block to keep his dream of winning the coronation cup alive......oh wait...."
Joe places his hands on the side of his face and has a O face going on.
JJ "That's right Troy Vincent doesn't chase his dreams...."
KA "Well you and Xplode both have 2 points. Everyone else in the block has zero points."
JJ "And in two weeks.....I will have 4 points and Xplode will still have 2 points and maybe.....just maybe Troy can rebound against....who is he facing?"
KA "In two weeks in Anderson North Carolina Troy Vincent faces Alex Kharne."
Joe shrugs
JJ "I guess Troy Vincent will still have zero points! Better luck next year Troy!"
Joe is mouthing the word "Sorry" in the camera and putting his arms up like he's sorry he couldn't help you.
KA "You have 3 matches left in the Coronation Cup and in two weeks...."
JJ "Yeah we know Kip, I get Xplode and like I just said!"
Looks Kip in the eyes and is pointing at him.
JJ "When the TV tapings are all said and done Xplode will still have 2 points and I will have 4! But Kip....."
Joe lightens the mood with a smile and holding his arms out like he's going to hug Kip.
JJ "I know you didn't run across this parking lot to ask me about Xplode. I've got the next two weeks to talk about Xplode and right now Kip I'm in a good mood and let's not ruin it by discussing that over rated son of a bitch."
KA "Well that over rated son of a bitch is a former UWL World champion."
JJ "So is Angelo Valour and no one cares about that so what's your point?"
KA "uhh....speaking of Angelo Valour tonight we saw you tell the former UWL World champion that you are no longer in the Frontline."
JJ "Right now the Frontline is now looking like the only line of one!"
KA "Angelo has hinted at the checked past between you two, Do you think Angelo will look to get even with you for leaving the Frontline?"
Joe looks into the camera and smiles.
JJ "If Angelo knows what is good for him....he'll keep doing what he is doing which at the moment is sitting at home licking his wounds and I will keep doing what I doing and that is putting the UWL TV Title in my hands and destroying everyone's hopes and dreams in this silly Coronation Cup tournament."
KA "But.....Well firstly the Coronation Cup isn't silly...."
JJ "So says you and you're not battling for that tin cup so your opinion means squat."
KA "What I want to know Joe is why you felt like you were Valour's pawn?"
JJ "Kip! (shakes his head) I have never seen eye to eye with Valour in the ESW. While he was going on winning everything but the ESW Tag Team titles....which I hold by the way thus keeping him from being a Grand Slam ESW Champion..."
Joe leans towards Kip and tells him "That's a shot across the bow by the way." like no one else would hear that.
JJ "When I came here to the UWL, I came here looking for a steady pay check and so far I got that, but I also came here because Valour was the champion and I figured well shit, if that guy is the Champion I can win here. I've beaten Valour in the past. Now....admittedly the second part hasn't gone as I planned......till now that is, but when I arrived here the first person to come up to me was none other than Angelo Valour. He was willing to put aside our personal feelings because he needed my help. I wasn't excepting that Kip. So I agreed to help him but I quickly learned....I was only there to be used as a buffer between him, the Champion and the Gray! Hell I didn't even know who the Gray were. No idea what they stood for, Hell Kip I didn't even knew who was in the Gray! I got all wrapped up in a battle I had nothing to do with, had no idea why it started or even what we were fighting for and that Kip, It hurt me. I started to lose match after match and no matter what I did Kip....I couldn't get my game going. My future in the UWL was slipping away and I wasn't going to let that shit happen. The hell with Angelo. The hell with his fight with the Gray! I don't care nor give a shit about it."
KA "Interesting."
JJ "Should be I'm a interesting type of guy."
KA "Tonight we also saw you call out the TV Champion Caleb Hart."
JJ "I sure did!"
KA "And you claim that Caleb Hart can't beat you in a singles match.."
Joe interrupts Kip "That's because he can't."
KA "And you challenged him at Under Pressure for the TV title in a singles match."
JJ "We will now see what the Champion is made of! Will he except my challenge and man up as they say or will he say, Screw you Joe and dodge me like Mayweather dodges Pacquiao? That is the question Kip! In the last 2 matches Kip, Caleb Hart has not been able to pin me, or even get me into a submission move to see if I will tap! I'm sick of that guy running around the UWL telling anyone who will listen that I'm nothing! I'm no threat to him what so ever! Well Kip I'm here to shut Caleb up! The UWL hasn't announced when Under Pressure is.....But we know it's coming up....and the clock is ticking away on Hart's reign as the TV champion. I don't care about the Coronation Cup! It will rank second when it comes to beating the hell out of Hart! I just don't want to beat him.....I want to do to him what I made Troy Vincent....do here tonight. I will make Hart submit!"
KA "Well I guess we will have to wait and see what the Champion says. Joe thank you for your time and good luck in the tournament."
Joe smirks "Luck has nothing to with it."
Nanook Chronicles.......
The aftermath
While Double J is in the ring in what will be a big win over Troy Vincent, Nanook fresh from being fired made his out the back door of the Roanoke Sports Complex where no one else is at to deal with what just happened. A mere 5 feet out the door Nanook and all 400 pounds of him is standing with his arms crossed, his right index finger and thumb squeezing the bridge of his nose as he gets choked up. He starts to sob, taking in quick burst of air causing his body to pop up and down as tears begin to flow down his face.
He has been buddies with Joe for 15 plus years. Ever since the IWA when Kim slide his ass into a cow suit and wore a cow bell around his neck and hit the ring as Mesmar the Cowgod. A play of Green Jelly's song Obey the Cowgod........
After reading the liner notes in his parents cabin in Alaska a young Kim learned that the band had a back story on the song and that they named the cow god Mesmar. With that knowledge in his young teenage head he worked in his northern village for whatever pennies he could, Stacking firewood, tuning up snowmobiles, shoving snow, whatever he could do to earn a dollar or two till he saved up enough money to get a flight to Fairbanks. Kim's family was poor....well his whole village was poor. Other than the money the state gave them from the pipeline, they lived very meager lives. Kim didn't own much in live. A couple of old metal tapes, some were from tape trading in the mail, one of which was the Green Jello Cereal Killer album and a old recorded off of the TV VHS tape of AWA, WCCW and Smokey Mountain Wrestling shows. There was no wrestling where he grew up, fuck no one knew who in the bloody blazes Ric Flair and Kerry Von Erich were. It was that old, playing with the tracking wrestling tape, the Green Jello tape and a couple of old wrestling magazines he got his hands on through trading through the mail in back of a old metal magazine that made him be driven to get out of where he was better himself and follow his dream of being a wrestler. And he had his first gimmick.
Once in Fairbanks Kim found work that paid way more than he was up north. He wasn't making any where's near minimum wage! For six months Nanook worked 2 jobs. During the day pushing a mop at a supermarket and at night washing dishes. He did that for 6 months till he was flipping through a Pro Wrestling Illustrated that was on the news rack in the supermarket that he discovered that there was wrestling coming to Fairbanks! It was a "Allstar" type of thing lead by the Von Erichs, Dusty Rhoades and the Four Horsemen! In fact that was the Main Event. The American Dream Dusty Rhoades and the Von Erichs against 3 of the Four Horsemen! Epic right! Kim went to the show and that's when his life changed for ever. The show was sponsored by a new wrestling school that was opening up down town. Kim signed up and that was the start of his career.......
Nanook reaches in his pocket and pulls out a handkerchief and wipes away the tears and blow his nose.
"Okay....pull it together. We'll be alright." Nanook says as he tries to calm himself. The door opens as a worker is taking out the trash and Nanook hears Joe's name being announced as the winner. Nanook closes his eyes and can't believe it. "Maybe he was right after all." Nanook mumbles as he walks off into the darkness of the night.....
Monday in Vermont......
Double J borrowed his Dad's jeep to get to the airport because let's face it, his Dad wasn't going any where for the weekend. Joe drove all the way up the mountain towards his Dad and as he makes his way up the "driveway" the tranny in the jeep sounds like a straight cut gear tranny in second gear as Joe slowly chugs along. As he comes around the bend and into the opening where everything is Joe noticed that his Dad has been busy working on the car over the weekend. The hood was put back on, the new tires and rim his Dad had buried in the garage under a tarp are on the car and they not only fit pretty damn good but they look good. As Joe parks the jeep next to the Fairlane in front of the garage he noticed he installed the tinted windows in the car, the rear and side windows. The trim wasn't on but then again he is going to have the car painted. All in all the car looked like it was ready to drive.
Joe shuts the jeep down and let's out the clutch leaving the Jeep in gear so it doesn't roll away. He slides down out of the Jeep and gives the car a once over.
"uhm hmm Yeah! I see you were the big victor this week Joey!"
On the porch with his pipe is his Dad. Joe glances his way.
"Yup."
GM "Good fer you Joey! I'm proud of yous. uhm hmm yeah. Did ya hear from that TV Champion yet?"
Joe nods his head no.
GM "Well maybe this week you will."
JJ "Maybe. Dad did you finish all of this?"
GM "Funny you ask that uhm hmm yeah. I put the battery in it and it won't start."
JJ "Why? Timing off? No fuel?"
GM "I don't know uhm hmm yeah. I thinks the battery is dead."
JJ "Well how old is it?"
GM "Like...2 years old. I got it when I got the battery for the tractor."
JJ "Oh well I guess it could be dead. We'll have to go get one."
GM "uhm hmm yeah. I was thinking 'bout gettin' one of those Optimum ones."
JJ "Okay."
GM "And while we're at the part store uhm hmm yeah, maybe we can get new cables fer the battery."
JJ "You need battery cables too? You sure?"
GM "Joey I checked all over. I looked everywhere uhm hmm yeah. I'd don't have them der cables. Won't start with out them cables uhm hmm yeah."
Joe chuckles. "Yeah guess they won't. So when do you want to go?"
GM "After lunch? uhmm hmm yeah."
JJ "Sounds good to me!"
Joe takes his gear of the back of the gear and makes his way towards the cabin.....
Scene opens up with Double J standing in the middle of the old logging trail that leads up towards the top of the mountain with his hands in his pocket looking down the trail at the camera.
"Coronation Cup.....two words that everyone in the UWL are throwing around these days as if they held any weight in their meaning. You know there is some guy in the back jacking off like mad because it's Coronation Cup season. Everyone has been sharing their feelings and thoughts about what the cup means to them, to their career and to the UWL. And if you dared to not toe the line you are looked at and frowned on like you're the guy jacking off on the cup. How can you not get all excited about cup? Simple. I didn't come here to win some stupid fucking cup. If you don't like how I feel about the cup....suck it. If you think I'm disrespecting the cup.....I could care less. And if you hated how I called out Hart and threw down a challenge for the TV title.....sucks to be you. I'm only here for me and I'm only concerned about beating Hart......but that doesn't mean I won't take some joy in the tournament it self."
Double J slowly starts to walks towards the camera.
"I have no interests in rolling through this tournament and winning the cup.....BUT.....ruining someone's shot at winning it. Well now that is something my friends I can get behind and have some fun with. You see I'm already playing the spoiler role except that I'm not of this tournament. Today, only a handful of us have a legitimate shot at moving on to the semi's, all puffing out their chests acting like they are the man. Except for me. All I want to do is do what I did to Troy and make em tap like a little bitch in middle of the ring."
Joe stops a few feet away from the camera.
"This week I get to knock another believer, a dreamer off the list. This week I get all way to serious Xplode who is acting like if he doesn't win this cup his life has no meaning. No worth."
Joe laughs and rubs his hands together.
"I can't wait to score another "upset" and knock old Xplode down a peg or two. Even though I told Valour to take the Frontline and shove it, here I am a mere week later facing a member of the Gray. The one guy in the group everyone tippie toes around. The one guy everyone pretty much goes "Oh Xplode....I don't like you, but I respect you. I will train extra hard this week to put up the best fight I can and maybe I will get lucky and score the biggest win in my career over you but odds are, I won't so much respect bro." . Why everyone kisses that guys ass I'll never know. Why no one will just step up and bitch slap that guy I'll never know and this week......one guy will step up. One guy will get in his face, one guy will spit in his face and knock him on his ass. I'm not cowering to the hype machine that is Xplode. I'm not impressed by you lifting heavy weights and eye fucking that whore of yours. Go get Christian Kane and kick some back and talk about the good old days and have Kane give you more tips on how to win the cup. While some guys might in awe over that shit......all I see is a has been and GNC experiment gone bad with daddy issues. "
Joe kneels down in front of the camera and looks into it.
"After week 2 in the Coronation Cup Farce-ament, In Block B.....This guy will have 4 points while you and Kharne will have 2 each. Who's moving on from Block B to the semi's? That's right bitches, this guy. Who's going to piss off the whole damn UWL and take a piss in the cup? That's right kiddies....this guy. Why? Because I can and there isn't a single god damn thing you....can do about it. "
Joe picks up the camera and the scene fades to black.
It's late Saturday night after Jason Michaels won himself the Heritage title, Double J is making his way out to his rental in the parking lot of the Roanoke Sports Complex still soaking in his big win over Troy Vincent when Kip Anderson comes running up to him.
KA "Double J! Do you have a second? There is so much we have to cover about tonight!"

Double J borrowed his Dad's jeep to get to the airport because let's face it, his Dad wasn't going any where for the weekend.

GM "Joey I checked all over. I looked everywhere uhm hmm yeah. I'd don't have them der cables. Won't start with out them cables uhm hmm yeah."
Joe chuckles. "Yeah guess they won't. So when do you want to go?"
GM "After lunch? uhmm hmm yeah."
JJ "Sounds good to me!"
Joe takes his gear of the back of the gear and makes his way towards the cabin.....
Scene opens up with Double J standing in the middle of the old logging trail that leads up towards the top of the mountain with his hands in his pocket looking down the trail at the camera.
"Coronation Cup.....two words that everyone in the UWL are throwing around these days as if they held any weight in their meaning. You know there is some guy in the back jacking off like mad because it's Coronation Cup season. Everyone has been sharing their feelings and thoughts about what the cup means to them, to their career and to the UWL. And if you dared to not toe the line you are looked at and frowned on like you're the guy jacking off on the cup. How can you not get all excited about cup? Simple. I didn't come here to win some stupid fucking cup. If you don't like how I feel about the cup....suck it. If you think I'm disrespecting the cup.....I could care less. And if you hated how I called out Hart and threw down a challenge for the TV title.....sucks to be you. I'm only here for me and I'm only concerned about beating Hart......but that doesn't mean I won't take some joy in the tournament it self."
Double J slowly starts to walks towards the camera.
"I have no interests in rolling through this tournament and winning the cup.....BUT.....ruining someone's shot at winning it. Well now that is something my friends I can get behind and have some fun with. You see I'm already playing the spoiler role except that I'm not of this tournament. Today, only a handful of us have a legitimate shot at moving on to the semi's, all puffing out their chests acting like they are the man. Except for me. All I want to do is do what I did to Troy and make em tap like a little bitch in middle of the ring."
Joe stops a few feet away from the camera.
"This week I get to knock another believer, a dreamer off the list. This week I get all way to serious Xplode who is acting like if he doesn't win this cup his life has no meaning. No worth."
Joe laughs and rubs his hands together.
"I can't wait to score another "upset" and knock old Xplode down a peg or two. Even though I told Valour to take the Frontline and shove it, here I am a mere week later facing a member of the Gray. The one guy in the group everyone tippie toes around. The one guy everyone pretty much goes "Oh Xplode....I don't like you, but I respect you. I will train extra hard this week to put up the best fight I can and maybe I will get lucky and score the biggest win in my career over you but odds are, I won't so much respect bro." . Why everyone kisses that guys ass I'll never know. Why no one will just step up and bitch slap that guy I'll never know and this week......one guy will step up. One guy will get in his face, one guy will spit in his face and knock him on his ass. I'm not cowering to the hype machine that is Xplode. I'm not impressed by you lifting heavy weights and eye fucking that whore of yours. Go get Christian Kane and kick some back and talk about the good old days and have Kane give you more tips on how to win the cup. While some guys might in awe over that shit......all I see is a has been and GNC experiment gone bad with daddy issues. "
Joe kneels down in front of the camera and looks into it.
"After week 2 in the Coronation Cup Farce-ament, In Block B.....This guy will have 4 points while you and Kharne will have 2 each. Who's moving on from Block B to the semi's? That's right bitches, this guy. Who's going to piss off the whole damn UWL and take a piss in the cup? That's right kiddies....this guy. Why? Because I can and there isn't a single god damn thing you....can do about it. "
Joe picks up the camera and the scene fades to black.
