Somewhere near Knoxville is Double J Joe Jones with Nanook and Jeffrey Hatemonger. It was not that long ago when Joe asked his manager Nanook to find him some work and Nanook came through getting him a spot at the UWL. Now Joe is on the clock as his debut match in the UWL will soon be here and Double J is hitting the tape watching film on his opponents The Great Mannquini and Dameon O’Conners on a lap top.....well film on one of them anyways.
Joe watches last week’s Honor and Glory match that features the Great Mannquini with his arms crossed. Nanook has seen it before and isn’t paying much attention to as he checks his Iphone and Hatemonger is just off camera doing something. Whatever he is doing, he is doing while wearing a fanny pack.
JJ “So who is this guy from the UWL again?”
Nanook “Kip Anderson.....I think.”
JJ “You think? This guys is going to be here in like five minutes and you’re unsure of his name?”
Nanook “Hold on!” tap tap on his IPhone “Yeah I was right. Kip Anderson.”
Hatemonger off screen “Anderson.....(Slightly softer) Anderson.”
JJ “Well this Great Mannquini guys seems to pretty solid in the ring. Never heard of him but he seems legit. Where’s the O’Conner’s match?”
Nanook “Uhmmmm he didn’t have one.”
JJ “Huh?”
Nanook “Yeah O’Conner is also new. This is also his debut match.”
Double J frowns as Kip Anderson arrives at the little two bit gym Double J has called home for the day.
Hatemonger (Again still off camera) “HERE’SSSSSS KIPPPY!”
Joe turns and Kip Anderson enters the frame.
Nanook “You must be Kip? I can tell you’re Kip. You look like a Kip?”
JJ “Looks like a Kip?”
Kip “I am indeed Kip Anderson! You must be...”
“Nanook.”
Kip “Well it is nice to finally meet you Nanook. This must be Joe Jones!”
JJ “Double J Joe Jones and that overgrown monkey there is Jeffrey Hatemonger. Pay no attention to him he’s pretty harmless.”
Kip “Okay will do. So why don’t we get right into it shall we?”
JJ “Fine by me but first Kip. Do you have any tape of this O’Conners guy?”
Kip “I do not but the say great things about him.”
JJ “Do they? What do they say about the Great Mannquini other then seeing that Great is already part of his name.”
Kip “I think the question Joe is what will the fans of the UWL say about you? You’re a new face here in the UWL and we know very little about you.”
JJ “I’m a new face here but not a new face to the industry Kip. Come on now I’ve worked a show or two in my life time in Nashville. Certainly there must be a fan or two who has seen me over the last 11 years or at least heard of me. And the name is Double J.”
Kip “There could be I will give you that Joe.”
JJ “Double J.”
Kip “This week you make your UWL debut against the Great Mannquini and Dameon O’Conners who is also making his UWL Debut. You mentioned that you’re a 11 year vet of the “squared circle” so next week this must feel like a new beginning for you.”
Nanook slips out of the view of the camera while Hatemonger slides into view standing in the background of Double J and Kip Anderson holding some homemade signs.
JJ “A new beginning? This match doesn’t feel like a new beginning. A new beginning to me Kippy would mean I’m getting a fresh start here. People know me, I know the guys here, I know the drill at the show and how everything moves along for the night. It’s like climbing in you’re favorite easy chair at home getting ready to watch your favorite show on your new HDTV Led Hi Def big screen TV. This feels like I’m starting the F*** over 11 years into my job. Other than Frank Merritt and new UWL Champion Angelo Valour...”
As if Hatemonger knew what Double J was going to say he holds up a sign that reads “CHEAP NAME DROPPING POP.”
JJ “I don’t know anyone around here. Everything I’ve done in my career, everything I’ve achieved in my career means absolutely nothing here. To quote Al Pacino in Scent of a women “I’ve been around you know!” 2 time World champion. Means nothing here. 3 time tag team champion. No one cares around here. I once was crowned the King of Philadelphia in my career Kippy and guess what? No one even knows what the F*** that is.”
Hatemonger holds up a new sign that reads “Valour does and he was never the King of anything let along Philadelphia.”
JJ “11 years in, the 100 wins in my career, have all been erased. I’m the new guy in a opening match against....against The Great Mannguini. I have no f*cking clue who that is, what he does and what he stands for. No clue and I doubt any of the old timers in the UWL even know either! If facing the Great Mannquini wasn’t bad enough, I get the pleasure of also facing the other new guy Dameon O’Conners and I know even less about that guy. Hell that guy can walk in this gym right now with a I’m Dameon O’Conner shirt on and I still wouldn’t know who he is.”
In the back ground is Hatemonger holding up a sign that reads “There was a O’Conners on Whisker Wars.”
JJ “And Kip, I don’t want you to think I’m bitching about this. I’ll get in the ring with these guys, feel them out and attack from there. I’m a student of the game and I learn real f*cking quick. Am I’m going to stand here today Kip and say I’ve got this match no problem.”
Hatemonger changes his sign “Mike O’Conners was his name and one bad ass beard he did grow.”
JJ “No way Kippy. Do I feel that even with the odds stacked up against me that I can win this match? Yes I can.”
Hatemonger flips that sign out of the way to reveal a new one. “So bad ass was his beard that he kicked Jack Passion’s lilly white ass.”
JJ “But Kip, this week, I’ve got a knot in my stomach the size of nine water melons. I’m sick to my stomach at the thought of...starting over. I’ve busted my ass for far too long. I’ve had to over come hurdles no one else in this place had to over come to be viewed as the new guy. But you know something Kip.”
Kip “What?”
JJ “This just might turn out to be something great for me. I’m not going out to that ring next week full of fear of failing in my debut match, But I do have a fear of going out there and not doing the best I can do. I don’t want to go out there and lay a giant f*cking egg and looking like a moron to the rest of the guys in the locker room. In my mind Kip, I have a hype I have to live up to. A hype no one but me has heard. I know the shit I have done in my career, the guys I have defeated, the titles I have won. You can go look them up on the Internet and watch my matches on youtube. I have to make sure that I don’t damage the hype and you know something Kip. It’s that fear.....of not living up to the hype......that is going to drive me.”
Hatemonger flips to the next sign “But Dameon O’Conners isn’t a bad ass.....”
JJ “Drive. Determination and god given ability is what is going to lead me to victory Kip. GIFD.”
Kip “GIFD?”
JJ “Get it f*cking done.”
Hatemonger flips to his last sign. “But Dameon is a lilly ass and Mannguini are made from plastic.”
JJ (Looking in the camera) “Great Mannquini! O’Conners! I’m not another new face! I’m f*cking Double J Joe Jones! Pissed off and ready to show everyone in the UWL that the game has just changed! You better bring you best because you have no idea what is in store you for! Consider yourself warned!”
Hatemonger tosses his last sign and flexes. Hatemonger spends days in the gym at a time and is ripped. Nanook walks back into the frame.
Nanook “Nice!”
