RP#38

Saturday night didn't go as Billy planned. He planned on beating Justin Brooks. That didn't happen. Then there was the whole Steve Sinclair thing. Needless to say it was a rough night for him and some of his most die hard fans waited for him outside the arena to wish him well and to shrug off what Steve said about him. It was hugs all around for Billy boy after the show and the fans showing their support for him lifted his spirits. Standing in the parking lot after the show after getting picked back up by the fans, his fans made a world of difference for Billy.

But there was still that gorilla in the room.



It's Monday night and out in front of his camper is NASCAR Billy sitting by a small fire going as out in the distance, the clouds are darkening and the thunder is starting to rumble off in the distance. A storm is a brewing as they say and that's just in the mind of NASCAR Billy as he is sitting on the block of wood in front of the fire. Tonight Billy is wearing all black. Black jeans, shirt, plain black hat and in his hand is a mason jar with a black lid on it. Billy is sporting a slight scowl.

"Ima so glad dat dis over sized loud mouth mother F'er thinks so highly of me. Ima so glad dat he thinks he's pushing me to be better by belittling me on national TV. Oh Emma can't do anything wrong. Emma is being held back. Emma doesn't need da title. What ah bunch of crap Steven."

Billy takes a sip of his shine.

"You're just jealous dat Emma has da title and you don't and instead of bullying her around like you do me, you praise her, fillin' her head with a bunch of nonsense of how she doesn't need da title to prove anything here in da UWL. We all knows you want da title. We knows that you're pissed I picked Emma as my partner and not you! Dat is what all of dis about! Nuttin' but you being a stuck up old dick and a little jealous douche. What is it that your sister says. You just mad cuz you got bent!"

He raises his jar up to his lips but stops.

"And I hope you are so proud of your self with da whole I hope Brooks kill ya crap! I saw ya smirkin' when I walked into da back after I lost. But Ima still walkin', still talkin'! I ain't hurtin' or nursin' a injury so you know what Stevie.....I know you're rootin' against me. I know you want me to lose da UWL Tag Team title to "free" Emma from being held back but guess what Steven."

Billy finally takes a another sip of his shine.

"Dis week when we get in dat ring and face da Birds of Prey.....Emma and I will do what we have been doing to them for da past couple of weeks. We'll be beatin' dem silly! We'll clip der wings and show dem first hand just who is da prey and who is da predator! I' vs been da UWL tag team champion for what? Six, Seven, Eight months now? And no one, NO ONE has been able to pin me in a tag match! Not Eddie Jones. Not Stephen Callaway! Not Pine Baron! Not Kahzir! Not even my own partner Emma Douglas and not even Archer! I' vs beaten EVERYONE dat has dared to get into da ring and face ME! Not you and dis week, Winterborn, Autumn Raven will go down in defeat just like every other team before dem and just like every other team after dem!"

Billy takes a another sip and shakes his head.

"You know what really pisses me off Stevie! And fer dat matter anyone else out der who doubts NASCAR Billy! If my name was Robb Daniels. Caleb Hart. Justin Brooks. Shawn Stevens. Jacob Davies or any other legend, icon from the UWL past. If I was Josh Eagles I would be celebrated for the run I am havin' right f*cking NOW! No one would doubt those guys! No one would be talkin' sh*t about dem and being the longest tenured champion in da UWL. But because it's NASCAR Billy! Because it's a 19 year old kid who is half way though his first year in his career, Ima a joke. Ima didn't earn da titles. Ima a bum. I's can't cut in singles action. Ima lucky to still even to hold on da titles."

Billy stops and with his free hand squeezes the bridge of his nose. It looks like he is fighting back some tears.

"I don't get it! I don't understand it! What.......what have I done that was so horrible, so dishonest that everyone seems to be turning their backs on me? Ima a nice guy....."

Billy is now indeed crying. A few tears streak down his cheek and makes that sad sucking air sound that lets you know one is really crying. He's now covering his eyes with his one hand.

"Ijustwanttoknowwhereiwentwrongwhydoeseveryonehatemesomuch?"

Billy wipes the tears from face as he tried to say something right there. Most of it we have no clue what he said.

"I don't think you guys understand what I have had to go through. No one knew who I was when I won the titles. Joe didn't like, didn't want me as his partner. He wanted to team up with Cocheese....."

Billy sets his mason jar down on the black of wood next to him and uses both hands to clear his eyes.

"For weeks, a month...maybe more he wanted to do nothing with me. But once he got to know me, he started to warm up to me. Then he won the Heritage title and I had to take a step back....is that it? You ya'll think I got a pass for that run of his? I didn't earn my keep during that time?"

Billy is starting to pull it back together.

"Then Steve showed up, breaks Joe's leg and I'm left holding both belts and no partner. I kept this title around my waist, I have even defended it since then with Emma.....Can't a southern boy get any credit for that? I don't see too many guys around here keeping their tag titles when their partner gets injured."

Billy picks up his mason jar and takes another sip, a long swig of shine.

"I was tested against Brooks and while I may have come up just short in beating big bad Brooks its not gunna stop me from diggin' my heels in and tryin' dat much harder! I's don't know da meaning to da word quit! Ima a winner! Ima a champion! Ima da UWL Tag Team Champion and no one! Not even you Steve can ever take dat away from me! And dis week. Da Birds are Prey will go down in a big bloody pile! Dis will be a statement match!"

Billy stands up, determined.

"I will not be made fun again! I NASCAR Billy! UNDEFEATED IN TAG TEAM ACTION! I WILL NOT BE DENIED! You know how it goes! If you ain't first!"

Billy takes a sip of shine again.

"Den you just suck!"

Fade out!
