Friday afternoon in Tokyo Japan and even though it wasn’t the new year for Japan, the rest of the world flipped the calendar from 2015 to 2016. Billy finds himself out checking out the sights before his match in the Main Event tomorrow night. Billy followed everyone and now finds himself at the Shibuya area where everyone has merged at once to cross the street and find themselves looking up at the lights to change so they can scramble across the intersection to get where they need to be.
Billy found himself a spot off to the side to watch this human train wreck taking place.
"I have had some time to kill while here in Japan. One can only go to the gym just so many times and one can only wander around just so many times. I’ve got the itch, the itch to beat someone down inside that ring. It’s been two weeks since I stepped through those ropes and inflicted some punishment on someone.”
Timmy, Joe’s personal cameraman who follows Billy around nowaday keeps getting bumped into by passer bys.
“So I fired up the old laptop in my room, kicked my boots off, sent my laundry off to get washed just to make you happy Hammer but that stain right here on my wrestling shirt….not even the Japs could get that sh*t out. I even threw on some sweatpants, picked up a bag of chips, colds ones and did what the kids are doing these days which is kinda odd for me to say because I’m one of those kids. I’m only 22 but with the trails I’ve been through inside that ring I project myself to be much older than I actually am. I guess it’s the oldness of Arch that rubbed off on me. I need to find one of dem Nuru massage places around here and see if they can rub Arch’s oldness off of me.”
Timmy has finally found a foothold of sidewalk to claim as his own. He is looking up at Billy who is standing up on a small ledge of a building he is leaning against.
“That will give me something to do next week but back to what I was saying. Sweatpants, cold drinks, dip and chips and the old laptop and Netflix. Yeah that’s right I Netflix’d and chilled without anyone else in the room and I watched all 10 plus hours of Making a Murderer. If you haven’t seen it here is the jist and screw you and your spoiler alerts. Dude is growing up, a little wild child but nothing too extreme. He got busted some some silly stuff the most serious of which was he got blasted, picked up a stray cat and threw it in a bone fire. Yeah that was a bit over the top but when the cops questioned him about it, he copped to it. Did some time, got out meet a chick. Fell in love and went to work at the family scrap yard. Two young kids in love and they would get a little crazy, screwing in the front yard and shit but hey! They lived out in the middle of nowhere and weren’t hurting anyone. His cousin, she was married to a cop. Remember this. She started talking smack about her cousin how he and his girl would be naked in the yard and sh*t messing around. Started spreadin’ rumors that he was special and what not. Well one night she was driving past the house, This guy named Steven got in his truck after catching wind of what she was doing, chased her down, sideswiped her and off into the ditch she went. She reported him, She was married to a cop, they picked him up, he copped to it and told them why he did it. He did a little time and the wife, to the cop, she wasn’t happy. Time goes by, he working at the junkyard, now has 4 kids, married and he’s keeping his nose cleaned. The police dept with a axe to grind against Steven wouldn’t let him be. Well one day this little rich bitch is running along the beach and gets raped. The cops they pin it on Steven even though he had a solid alibi. Right from the get go the cops, everyone, they build a case against him with no evidence whatsoever. He is tried and found guilty, 38 years behind bars.”
“18 years later he is released when it is discovered he was innocent all along and that there is a mountain of evidence that more than proves that everyone from the arresting officer, the sheriff, the DA and the Judge ignored the facts, never looked at anyone else in this case even though other people said you got the wrong guy, this doesn’t make any sense, you need to look at this guy. Steven filed a 38 million dollar lawsuit against them and it is looking like he is going to win hands down and that some crooked cops are going to end up going down for they did to him when this girl comes up missing, she is murdered and they plant evidence, very little evidence at that on Steven and railroad him to a life sentence on first degree murder. Not only do they take him down but they destroy his nephew's life in the process and using him to fab up stories to implicate his Uncle. This kid was only 16 and is he is now sitting in jail for life something he too never did. To this day both of these guys are still getting railroaded by the state even though there is a clear cut case that these two didn’t kill that girl. It was a fantastic little documentary.”
Billy runs his hand through his beard.
“That documentary got me thinkin’ and granted ain’t nothing in my life as happened that even comes close to being set up fer murder but the whole the little man being set up to fail and kept in a cage somewhere for unexplained reasons, now der is a story I can understand and hold that near and dear to my heart because when you think about it. That is what the UWL has been doing to me.”
Billy glances down at the camera.
“Since it came up this week let’s take the Coronation Cup. Cory and I formed a team, one of the first to do so. We go into that tournament feeling good about ourselves. We easily take of business in the first round and then…..we get railroaded in the semi finals. And it’s not just Cory and I that get the shaft, it’s Eagles and Stevens. It’s Slade and that other guy. The three of us, we all get shafted as we have to square off against each other in a bullsh*t, what the f*ck you mean we get a three way tag team match? While on the other side of the coin, you get Williams and Franco who ended up winning the whole thing, they get a big old softball. They get Autumn Raven and Billy Danielson, a duo who shouldn’t have been in the semi’s to begin with. A team that somehow found a way out of the first round. That match up is early on the card and of course because they didn’t face a real team to begin with, Craig Williams and Franco The Hammer easily win. Almost a half hour later Cory and I face the guys from Omega, and the returning fan favorite Best Team Eva! 20 minutes later after the six of us beat each other senseless Eagles and Stevens punch their ticket to the finals. At this point Williams and Franco have been chilling in the back for almost 40 minutes. Best Team Eva goes to the back to regroup and get ready for the finals in the main event but first that old bag of bones Arch Stanton has to take on Chris Nichols. In a match that should have been at least 20 minutes giving time to Eagles and Stevens to rest up, that match was over with in 4 minutes! Less than five minutes after going through war against 2 other teams which Williams and Franco did not have to do, Eagles and Stevens walk back out to the ring and face a rested up, toweled off, fresh tag team that didn’t have a three way match and had almost 45 minutes to rest up in the back. Even though Cory and I weren’t in that match, it was complete bullshit. One team, the team that won, was showed favoritism”
Billy kneels down to get closer to Timmy and the camera.
“Then there is this week. The Prestige championship is vacated and who does the UWL hand picked to face off for that title? Fan favorite Arch Stanton? Nope. Williams buddy Franco? He’s new to the UWL? Nope. Broseidon? Nah. Let’s tap on the shoulder of one of the guys who did the job back a couple of weeks ago, Billy Danielson. And his opponent? Why it’s the one guy in the league who has never accomplished anything in his time here in the UWL, Ron Hamilton. Why don’t you just forgo the match and hand the belt to little Billy why don’t you. I mean that is why you set that match up.”
Billy glances down at the sidewalk for a second.
“Then there is the main event. Oh yeah on paper this is a main event of main events to kick off the tour of Japan. The Triple Crown Champion facing the guy he beat 2 weeks ago for the title. It’s the UWL World Tag Team Champions facing the team who wants those belts more than anything right now and we’ll stick this third wheel with them who doesn’t get along with anyone in the match! Pure gold! Come on….you can see the suits sitting around the table just creating this match and high fiving each other after words. Chest bumping one another. It’s a match that will sell tickets and it has. Then people start thinking about. Williams and Franco have their concerns with their partner. Evan Caravelle comes out and basically says “screw all of ya!” and Williams is like, I know he’s still working for Heat, this match is 4 on 2, not fair. Then on this side of the table, you have Cory who everyone including Heat have taken jabs at, trying to drum up some comradery on our team with Heat and what does Heat do? Basically spit in his face. I don’t know man. I’m not sure if Cory and I are on an island of our own when Heat and Caravelle side with Williams and Franco to eliminate us so they can have the Tag belts and the Triple Crown all to themselves and they’ll help the enemy for the time being or they will break away in middle of the match and try to take out everyone.”
Billy stands up and glances off at the intersection.
“Whatever the case is and how this unfolds, it will be pure chaos just like this cluster going on right here. Everyone just out for themselves going in their own direction. It’s the Road to Nightmare all over again. Cory and I, we’re getting shafted, that’s all I know. But at least I know he has my back and I have his. In the chaos that will be the Main Event tomorrow night, the Bionic Rednecks, when push comes to shove, we’ll just f*ck sh*t up and clear the ring and leave a pile of wreckage on the outside of it. We’re both done with playing within the rule book of the UWL. We’re done with playing their game. Neither one of is a politician and we’re not going to grandstand pointing out the flaws of what is going on around no more. We want what we want and we’ll take what we want, with or without you playing nice Heat. You are either with us against those three guys or you’re against us and if you're against us….”
Billy steps down off of the ledge.
“Then I’m not sorry when the pain train runs you down and leaves you broken and bruised. See you tomorrow night. May the best team win and here’s a spoiler for you. That team, is the Bionic Rednecks.”
