End of the Line……..
Double J stops and holds up both titles on the stages just before he disappears through the curtain and the crowd boos him. While Double J smiles and puts on a happy face he wants to lash out at the crowd. Deep down it’s getting to him. Here he is, a multi title holder in the BLPW and they are booing him.
Double J kisses the TV title and walks through the curtain where Hot Stuff Shawn Sanders is there to greet him.
“Good job Joe! Way to go!” Sanders says as he pats Joe on the back.
“Thanks man. Couldn’t do it without you.”
Sanders again pats him on the back Joe looks at him and the proud look on Sander’s face makes Joe get a bit teary. Joe clears his throat and looks down at the US title.
“Listen man I’m not going to pat you on the ass but I’ll buy you a beer.”
Joe laughs. “Okay man. Sounds good.”
They start to walk towards the locker room to get cleaned up before they hit a bar when Joe pipes up with
“So when are you going to get one of these?”
“Soon. I was thinking about getting that US title.” Sanders with a slight chuckle in his voice.
“You wish.” Joe responds with a laugh.
A few days later Double J is spotted at a gym working out. The press catches wind of this and they hang out outside the gym waiting for the Multi holding Champion to exit the gym and after Joe gets cleaned up and dressed he steps out of the gym to flashbulbs and tape recorders and microphones being shoved in his face.
“JOE! How does it feel to be a holder of two titles in the BLPW?”
“Awesome.” Joe says.
“Does this complete your comeback?” Is also asked.
“Not by a long shot but it tells me I’m on the right path.” Joe says as he tries to get to his waiting limo.
“What would complete your comeback?”
Joe smiles. “World title boys.”
Then the killer question is asked. “How do you feel about all the booing?”
Joe at his limo and the door open stops and turns to face the guy who asked the question. “It’s temporary.”
“Are you sure?” The same reporter asks.
“Yeah, the fine fans of the BLPW were just annoyed about the whole ESW thing. Now I made a mistake, I seen dollar signs and turned my back on the BLPW and I’m sorry. But now that I am the ESW..errr I mean the BLPW US Champion I will prove to all of those fans how dedicated I am to the BLPW and I will be a great fighting champion. Now I have to go. Thanks guys.”
Joe climbs in his limo and more questions are fired at him but he ignores all of them. Once the door is closed Joe sighs and thinks he’s all alone. Joe looks out the window at the reporters huddling around the window trying to get one last answer to their questions. As they drive off it’s then when Joe realizes he’s not alone.
“It’s a bitch isn’t it?”
Joe looks up to see Barry Burton in the limo with him.
“How the fuck did you get in here?” Joe asks.
“Do you think I was going to fight those guys? I slipped the driver a bill and climbed on in.”
“Well you can see your way out. Pull over the car.”
Barry pushes the button to close the portion window. “There’s no need for that. We’re friends here.”
“Glad you think so.”
“Like it or not Joe you are a hot story in the wrestling world. BLPW Tag Team and US Champion? You won the US title in a four way match against two guys who have unfinished business with you…..That is big stuff. You were the underdog in that match and you walked out the US champion. So I have to ask what are you going to do for a encore?”
Looking out the window Joe responds with “Throw you from a moving car.”
“You know I have seen other guys hold two titles at the same time and no one of them seemed to be bummed out like you. What is eating you?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing? I’m sorry for your loss.”
“My what?”
“Your loss. Who died?”
“You don’t get it do you.” Joe adds. “In a span of 24 hours I went from hero to most hated guy in the BLPW.”
“And that ESW slip isn’t going to help you either.”
“Tell me about it.”
“You reap what you sow Joe.”
“I know. But I thought when I won that match I would hear cheers you know but instead I got a ear full of boos.”
“Ah the problem. Man on a comeback tour gets booed. Now his ego is bruised.”
“It’s not bruised. My ego has nothing to do with it. I didn’t do anything to turn my back on the fans but they have turned their back on me.”
“So Joe, What are you going to do about it?”
Joe looks up at Barry. “I’m going to hurt Vertigo.”
Barry smiles. “I like the sound of that.”
