It’s crunch time for the BLPW and the deadline is coming right down to the wire. The lasts second final touches are being done by everyone for soon it will be show time and all the talking will mean nothing. It will be time for action, time to put up and cash some checks you might have written during the week.
For the ring crew it’s the final checks of the ring, the screen, chairs. Double checking the connections and checking them again. For the wrestlers, it’s the last workout, the last stretch, the last bit of video. For the roaming interviewers, it’s that last interview, your final two cents and for Barry Burton that is what he has planned. Say what you must of Barry Burton but today the boy is multitasking for today he gets to sit down with both Green Man and Double J Joe Jones.
In a dinner somewhere quite Barry has wedged himself in a corner booth with Green Man and Double J Joe Jones where both men have high profile matches at Vendetta. Green Man has War Games while Joe defends his US title. After some lunch the camera start to roll and Barry fires the questions as the father and son duo.
BB “Hello BLPW fans and you are here for a Double B exclusive. Today I have two greats in our sport and both of them have two big matches ahead of them at Vendetta as Green Man is going to battle in the War Games and Double J is set to defend his BLPW US title. Guys it is a pleasure.”
GM “No problem Barry.”
BB “Green Man let’s start with you. Here you are retired, Wrestling icon doing what ever it is you are doing in retirement and the phone rings and it’s Bright. How do you go from retired not heard from to War Games?”
GM “Didn’t you hear me Barry the other day? It’s all about Hammer. It’s all about beating Team Hammer and making sure Team Hammer loses. I’m still bitter after all these years about not winning the XWA World title and while I can’t go back in time and win the title, I can do something about it now. I can do whatever it takes to have Hammer feel defeat in his heart. I want Hammer to know how it feels to want something badly and have someone stop you.”
BB “Okay, so let’s say Team Bright wins. Would you consider this as being even with Hammer?”
GM “As even as even can get. Are we truly even? No. We never will. If I was on my death bed and the phone rang and someone goes to me “Hey want to screw Hammer out of the BLPW World title?” You bet your ass I will drag my carcass out of the bed and screw Hammer one last time. For all we know Barry this will be the last time I ever see that prick. If I can beat only one guy at Vendetta I want to pin Hammer. I’m not going to sit here and josh ya that I’m going to stun everyone in the BLPW and win the kit and caboodle because quite honestly I don’t think I can last more than 30 minutes in this kind of match. But this you can write down in stone. I’ll leave my mark in this match.”
BB “We know all about you and Hammer, but what about the others in the match? Lobo? JL Willis? Law?”
GM “Remember when I said I would get off my death bed to kick Hammer’s ass?”
BB “Yeah?”
GM “I don’t feel the same about JL Willis. If this was Team Willis I wouldn’t be here. Lobo did piss me off last week but hey, Joe here is a big boy and he’ll take care of Lobo soon enough.”
Joe chuckles.
GM “Law….eh? Whatever. Unlike everyone else in this match I’m not about memory lane trading Heresy kisses and miss you cards. I’m here to kick someone in the balls and laugh in their faces. It’s nothing more than that. Period.”
BB “Okay. Good luck in the War Games Green Man. That brings me to you.”
Joe places his glass on the table and smiles at Barry.
BB “BLPW Tag Team champion. BLPW US champion and eyes the BLPW North American title. My my Green Man look at your son now. He is all grown up and at Vendetta it comes down to you and Vertigo and both of you seem to have the same plan. Leave with both titles. So tell me Champ, what is going through your mind on the eve of your first title defense?”
JJ “You really want to know Barry?”
BB “Yeah I want to know.”
JJ “Are you sure Barry?”
BB “I couldn’t be any surer.”
JJ “The only thing going through my mind is I can’t wait till I get Vertigo in the ring. I can’t wait to slap that grin off his face and knock that chip off his shoulder. Vertigo is quick to point out that this is indeed my first US title defense and while I don’t know how that is my fault, I find it odd that’s someone who has been a champion for three months is getting ready to defend his title for the SECOND TIME! He makes himself out to be some sort of all time great fighting champion and he’s only put that belt on the line one more time than I have. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black.”
BB “He did defend his title against Borac thou.”
JJ “Yeah and? What should I give Sniper a shot at the title even though he doesn’t deserve it? Please. And all this talk about how I can’t win a match on my own is nonsense. If I couldn’t win a match then I wouldn’t be holding two championship titles right now. Plus Barry I have only lost twice since returning to the BLPW. Twice Barry. One tag match and one single’s match which was just last week. Yeah I suck. I don’t see Vertigo lightening up the win column you know. Like I said Barry, I can’t wait now. At Vendetta we will see Vertigo melting own in another high profile spot like he always does and me, Double J Joe Jones the underdog, the guy know one thinks can win, win.”
BB “We’re almost out of time. Do you have anything to say to Shane Diamond?”
JJ “No, not really. All he needs to do is not show up. It’ll be easier that way.”
BB “Well fans there is one thing Vertigo and Joe Jones do agree on, that Shane Diamond doesn’t belong in the match. This is Barry Burton and we’ll see you at Vendetta!”
