I AM IRON MAN.....
A bright red, white and blue pyro explodes across the stage.
Black Sabbath starts strumming through the sound system.
WFWF Superstar Joe Kessen rushes out from behind the curtain, but he isn’t his usual joyous self. Instead, he is very somber. He walks directly to the ring, high fiving a few fans with his head down. He climbs into the ring and requests a microphone. An attendant hands him on with WFWF written on it. He puts it near his mouth, then lows it. This happens a few more times as he fights back his tears. Finally, he finds the strength to speak.
You all witnessed my match a few weeks ago, and saw how I was dropped outside of the ring. My leg soon began to hurt. I thought it was a minor injury, nothing to worry about. But the good Shadow wouldn’t accept that, and told me to take the last show off and get it checked. Well, it seems, uh, like we've done this before. And uh, this time, unfortunately for me, it's much more serious than last time. I've never had, um, a doctor look at me in the face and say, uh, that I may never be able to wrestle again. And I was, uh, I was told that the other day. Of course, you know I, it's not something that I believe. But the fact is it's something that I have to deal with. Time has taken it's toll on, on my body.
Well there's uh, one thing about me is I can't do anything halfway and I, and I come here and I hear the people and they chant uh, CBT's name or they chant Obo's name or they chant a lot of peoples' names, and one thing's for sure, you're going to have all of that in the future, um, and that's what I want for the WFWF fans. In spite of, uh, what people may think about me, what I've always wanted for all these people is, is for them to have a good time and to enjoy themselves. I've always tried to be the one to provide it whether it was on the good side or the bad side. But what was always important to me was the performance, was the performance so that these people, each time they reached in their pocket, they paid to get a WFWF ticket, they didn't regret it because they knew that if they saw my name on the card they could yell, they could come and they could cheer and they could boo and they could do whatever they wanted as long as they had a good time. Over the last couple of months, uh, there's been a lot of talk of people, uh, having bad attitudes and a lot revolving around this company and it’s management. Uh, all I know today is that one thing that's not going to revolve around this bullshit, for a long time, is going to be Joe Kessen. I don't know where I'm at right now. I have to, uh, I have to have everything checked. I may have... I may be beyond reconstructive surgery. I may, or may not be able to fix it. But if I can't come back and perform at the level I performed at, before...I can't, I can't perform. I can't come out here and just go half-ass. I have to come out here and I have to romp and stomp and I have to get tossed around. I have to toss people around and I have to have fun. The schedule over the last year I took on because I didn't feel like I could say no. I wanted to do everything. I wanted to enjoy my life as the WFWF superstar. I wanted to, I wanted to ride in Lear jets and ride in limousines and I wanted to be on TV shows and I wanted to do autograph sessions and I got to do every bit of that. If nothing else, I have all of that to take with me. Again, and I know right now we're in the middle of a time where toughness is real big here in the WFWF, and unfortunately all I've got right now for you is a lot of sorrow, a lot of tears, and a lot of emotion. I don't have any toughness for anybody, so I guess, there you go guys. What I'm going to do is go back home and see what's left for me; whether it'll be in this ring...whether it'll be out of this ring. I know that over the, uh, the last several months I've lost a lot of things and one of them has been my smile. And, and I know it doesn't mean a whole lot to everybody else, but it means a lot to me. So I have to go back and fix myself, and take care of myself, and I have to go back and I have to find my smile because somewhere along the line I lost it and I don't care, really, I don't care if it's unpopular, and I don't care if, uh, people want to make fun of me because I'm an emotional guy. But, um, this is all I've ever wanted to do and uh, over the last year I got to do it and whether you like me or not, I just want to tell you that, uh, last year was the most wonderful year of my life. And, uh, if I never do get to do it again, it'll be okay because I got to live one full year as being the number one guy in this business and it was the single greatest year of my life.
And I have you to thank, and I have everybody here to thank, and it means a lot to me and, uh, I'm gonna go home now. Okay?
Joe Kessen starts laughing.
F*ck it. I’ve been fired guys. The corporate asses wanted a big good bye. They wanted your emotions in it. They didn’t want you to know the truth. And thats a big f*ck you to you guys. You pay our checks, you deserve it. Who gives a speech like that anyways? Ok, maybe someone running from the truth. Here’s looking at you Micheals. Er...I’m referring to Johnny. Yea, Vince don’t sue me, but hey if you have any job openings. There you have it fans, I’ve been fired guys. You can thank your corporate lords for that. And your so called saviors CBT and Reverend Shadow. Fan, just remember there is a reason a man hides in shadows. And don’t forget what CBT really means. Couldn’t Beat.
Joe raises the microphone to the crowd, as they scream “Tater”.
Thats right. I’m just your friendly neighborhood Tater, and I’ve just been fired. So um I guess good bye.
Joe tosses the microphone back to the attendant, and leaves to chants of “Thank You Kes Sen!”and clapping from the fans.
OOC: This started as just a good bye rp, but evolved into this. It wasn’t originally planned as a bitter rp or anything. I’m not going to try to explain leaving, I just don’t think it’s working out this time. I may stop around GD once and a while.
