RP#37

The scene opens up out in the middle of no where next to a small creek. The banks of the creek are over grown, a couple of fallen trees are either touching the water or half way into the water. It's early in the morning, the sun is just peaking above the mountains and every little critter is starting to stir.



Today is a great day to go fishing.........

We hear some twigs snapping under foot as Double J Joe Jones is making his way through the brush to get to the water's edge. Joe is a wearing a old fishing hat with hooks and lures all over it. A old brown fishing vest that also doubles as his tackle box and hip waders, camo print so he can sneak up on the fish. A water bottle hangs across his shoulder and in his right hand is a old fishing pole. Joe carefully steps down into the water, he doesn't want to stumble and fall in and get all wet, that would suck. Once in the water Joe makes his way out to the middle of the creek.

"Four months ago I entered into the UWL under some fan flare all thanks to Valour. Other than Valour and Frank Merritt no one here knew who I was and in all fairness, other than Valour and Merritt, I've never heard of anyone here in the UWL. At the same time, on the same night I beat Damien O' Conner, another new face to the UWL, a guy who has spent years in his corner in the world making a name for himself much like myself, Another new face to the UWL had a match against Autumn Raven, a guy making a comeback named Caleb Hart and much like myself, no one else in the UWL knew who the hell he was. The following week we meet in the ring and when the dust settled, everyone in the UWL knew who we were. Why? Because we put on one hell of a match and everyone took notice. We...."

Joe is tying a hook on his line and glances into the camera.

"weren't like Damien O' Conner. A no body who quickly disappeared from the UWL like so many guys before him. We had "skillz" as the kids say these days in the ring. We...."

Joe raises one eye brow when he says "We" as a nod of some respect towards Caleb.

"showed everyone that we both weren't some Johnny Come Lately like Macho Man RDK. And while that match started Hart on having 5 questionable wins over me, it was that first match that wanted me to have another match with Hart. I said it then and I will say it now. That match against Hart, was a victory that got away and I want my win. At one time I looked at Hart and thought, There is a guy who I wouldn't mind teaming up with. There is a guy who I could hang out with. There is a guy who I dare say it, I could consider a friend. But then after Hart got his hands on the UWL TV title...."

Joe stabs a worm on the hook and closes his container that holds his bait.

"WE......started to see the real Caleb Hart. Gone were the days of Caleb Hart, the happy to be here guy, the I'm humble guy. The non nicknamed, no catchphrase every 20 seconds, no one is better than me guy. No, lost to the history books of Caleb Hart, is the I'm coming out of retirement guy. Gone is this guy that I liked and respected!"

(Hart smirks.)

Hart: You are something special. Last week, we had one of the best matches of my entire career. You took me to the limit and simply beat my ass in quite a few moments in that match. I will give you the respect you deserve. You are one hell of an athlete. That being said, you misunderstand me. I gave an interview where I said that I didn’t know that by losing you still get a title shot. I don’t care if you are in this match or not. Hell, I’m looking forward to facing you again. As good of a match as we had last week, we deserve a rematch. And despite the fact that Roach is involved, you and I both know that this match is more about two of the future superstars of UWL rather than some insane, whiny petulant little child. A child who got lucky when he won the TV title last week. When I beat Roach for the title in Tokyo, you have my word that you will get the first shot.

Double J casts his line into the water and reels it in some.

"While Hart went on to spew some venom my way in that little rant of his it's was nothing like we hear from God's Gift today. It surprised me how quickly Hart's head grew. How huge his ego grew and how much he thinks of himself and being something bigger than just the TV champion in a short time span. If you listen closely to Hart now, you will think he is more important than the UWL World Champion. In Hart's mind he ranks himself higher in the company than Frankie Cocheese. Hart will make you believe he IS the face of the UWL. We all know who the face of the UWL is, it is Cocheese. It's not Hart. Hell Hart isn't even on the Mount Rushmore of icons in the UWL. At the end of the day, Hart is just another TV champion. He's the guy who took 4 months to defend the title 4 times. He's got more hot air than Wolf Parker. Caleb Hart has become that guy in any wrestling promotion who thinks so highly of himself that he believes the whole federation revolves around them."

Joe reels in his line and casts it again.

"After the title match Hart said he would give me being a man of his word and he beat me. I was ready to move on. I was ready to pick a new path in the UWL and look to carve my own little notch in the UWL. But Hart....Hart he acted like a total jackass after the match. He won but he didn't have to rub it in my face and worse of all, discredit me as a legit wrestler in the ring. That is what enraged me more than anything. I have spent too many years working on my craft to become one of the best. I have spent too many hours to count in the gym, in the ring getting stepped on, thrown into the ropes and on the mat by my father, all my cousins and countless guys around the world all in the name of bettering myself to have some guy who was lucky to get a shot at the UWL TV title to begin with to scoff at me and act like I was a beginner. Without me "pushing him to the limit" he would have never gotten that TV title match in Tokyo against Roach."

Joe reels in his line again and again the hook is empty. Joe casts it again.

"I came to the UWL because the company I was at, was having issues. The shows were getting blacked out on TV, Shows were canceled and when the shows were being booked months apart I knew it was time to look elsewhere. If there is one thing you can't over come it's a place that is run by management that drives it into the ground. I came to the UWL to keep working towards the top. To gain what still remains my biggest goal, the World title. I have had set back after set back for the past 3 years. Twice I went under the knife on my knee. Then my shoulder. I spent a F***ing year walking around with a cane. I was out of the ring for 2 straight years and everyday it was killing me. I was the BLPW World Champion and then I blew out my knee. I would have rather someone stabbed me in the heart and killed me than having to give up the World title due to injury. That is what drives me. To complete my comeback from injury. I can't help but wonder what drives Hart. What really drives Hart? He says it's to show everyone why he is the best in the world, but when I joined the UWL I brought with me the status as being the current ESW Tag Team Champion. Yeah sure the ESW is a shell of what it used to be, The ESW would have a show once every 6 months but the guys who stayed gave it their all in the ring. I worked hard to get those tag titles and to keep those titles. Caleb Hart when he joined the UWL, was coming out of retirement. Who retires in their 30's? The few glimpses we had of Hart's house he did very well for himself but there is no way he did that good to call it quit in his 30's."

Joe again reeled in the line and the hook is once again empty. Joe checks his bait and casts his line again.

"I call you a farse Hart because there is a reason why you hung it up and called it quit. Was there someone better than you and your ego couldn't handle that? You've never really mentioned any injury that lead you to calling it quit. What was it? I heard the joy in your voice back in April when you got that TV title match. It was after all the first title match you've had in over 7 years."

Joe smirks as he slowly reels in his line.

"Only the best in the world, Only the guys who call themselves God's Gift, The Reflection of Perfection and every other nick name and moniker you hung on yourself go 7 years with out ever getting a title shot any where in this sport. I saw you the other day in your trophy room with all the titles you won. Showing them off with pride. I have all my titles I won in cardboard boxes. I can't bring myself to showing them off because while I am proud of the fact that I won them, they represent the past and I'm not ready to call it quit and hang up my boots like you already did once. I look towards the future. I only want to look at the next title I win. The next Championship I call my own. I couldn't help but think if you made up all those titles in your room. Is this UWL TV title your first and only title you have won? You're not that old Hart, and you went 7 F***ing years with out a title so.....how can one have so many trophy that he needs to build a room in his house to house them all? This also tends to get me thinking that most of your followers on Twitter are fake? How many twitter accounts do you have Hart? 5? 6? Do you have more accounts than Wolf Parker has fans?"

Joe pauses reeling in his line. He sticks his pole under his arm as he reaches for his water bottle.

"I haven't forgotten about you Parker. It's just that I care less about you ranting and raving more than Hart does. You suffer from little man syndrome and you shouldn't even be in this match. The sooner you realize this the better. Go ahead and jump and down and pout and make all the idle threats all you want, no one cares. I'm here today in this creek, stream or how ever you classify this body of water as looking for my new little catchphrase to put on a t-shirt. I'm going to take a page from Hart's book and peddle some crap to the fans. It's hard to come up with nick names and catchphrases that Hart already hasn't used. Hell his last promo was a breeding ground of new slogans on T-shirts. There must have been 50 cheeky sayings that was more likely emailed to the silk screeners and they are pumping out the shirts as we speak. But unlike Hart I only need one new slogan. One new nick name. One catchphrase and...."

Joe takes a sip of water and lets the bottle hang off his shoulder and picks up his pole. He jerks it up like he had a bite on it and starts to reel it in. On the end of the line is a folded piece of paper.

"Yeah here we are. I knew if I just went fishing I would get my own nick name. And it's a name that we will hear....at the end of our match Hart, when I defeat you and beaten Wolf into next week. It'll be the first thing you hear Hart, my new catch phrase. 4 little words that will be said before my name...."

Joe unhooks the piece of paper and unfolds it and holds it and it reads:

[/color][/center]

"Put that on a T-shirt. This weekend Hart, you're going down and I'm the one who will come out on top and when I raise the TV title in the air, the UWL will be looking at me, the true future of the UWL, The NEW TV Champion, Double J Joe Jones! Consider yourself warned!"
