Betrayal; Portrayal
Once again I have done it. Questionable actions one might say. But I know what I'm doing, or have have done, or plan to. I can't question it really. But some of the pleasantly ungrateful care to, so let me elaborate.
I do not hate my partner, Reverend Shadow, he is a respectable man. He is the only man to see me at my best and worst, both figuratively and physically, only to see me as equal or greater to himself.
He inspires me, as much as he is a threat to me, but this match. This conflict of interest. It's not a falling out between two friends, but infact an act of selflessness. So how dare you question my judgement in making such a match. Who are you to take my actions, and render them as being in my best interest. You should be ashamed. What do I have to gain, really?
Forgotten am I? I was once on the verge of greatness. Hell, I've passed it up plenty of times. Not because I deserved better, but infact wasn't deemed ready for it or worthy of it, but it's still very funny to me really.
As I type this up, revising every word, as if I could give a fuck if people took consideration to what I have to say. I think about my best interest, and what those words really me, in the grand scheme of things.
I'm young and battle tested, I've probably seen more blood then a forensic detective, yet I choose to sit on the side-lines. Not injured, not vigiorously planning, not scared. It's really unjustifyable.
You see, I have always put WFWF 1st. Regardless of what I may think of it, and now a days, more or less. I have been the forgotten brace that keeps WFWF's back from cracking.
How you may ask? Where have you been, I may answer. Whether it was spotting talent, like I did, when I got in a certain man of a forgotten hour's face. Or paying homage, when I confronted, WFWF's best kept secret. I have undoubtbly, made WFWF more interesting. Ofcourse it's a question of opinion, but imo, I did more then my part.
Now I'm not even gonna feed my own ego, there's evidence, I have one. But as a owner, can you question the shows I've made week after week? The matches I gave away on free TV?
I think not, but you know what.. what really brings a tear to my eyes?
When WFWF loses one of it's best, and gets a watered down replacement, that they appreciate more.
No I'm not talking about the FDS main event, but unfortunately, the other half of Higher Authority. Ofcourse we are a dynasty, and i'll be the 1st to remind you, dynasties don't live long but live on. But what does it say about my opponent, a man who thick and thin, was suppose to be my equal. When, the moment I step down for the betterment of this business. He steps up, and returns for the betterment of his own in ring career?
It digusts me, and hopefully after reading this, it disgusts you to. For I am not at all evil, just misunderstood. But the one thing that rings true is, I love this business, and treat it with the respect it deserves.
Reverend Shadow, a disappointment in my eyes. But it's no surprise to me. It's WFWF's legacy, to see one of it's owners, hold the top belt during there time here.
I'm just surprised that a man of the cloth, would pursue such forbidden fruit. That he'd be persuayed so easily.
Such portrayal he puts on will have no effect on me. His betrayal of the fans, like a wolf in sheeps clothning, will not go unanswered.
For one night only, I will not only step in the ring, but step into the Corrupt Reverend's shoes. All will be answered, that has not been asked. Only thing left to know is what should not be forgotten. In Jesus Christ, I say Amen.
As the snow drops with no end in sight, it's hard to keep track of time, as the eternal clock fails to coincide with what is seen as night and day. Black ice hardens, and snow drops to the earth, this sequence all to common on the East Coast. It's still funny though, as well are in late January, and this is the 1st steadily appearance of the white stuff. But this is Syracuse, so it's hard to question what is or isn't common place. As sometimes you'd think there was only two seasons, Spring and Winter, or sometimes just Spring and Fall. But none of this is essential, only a backdrop to a more important, current event. You see, word has gotten out that local wrestler, Tha CBT, will be returning to action against the man that he last stepped foot inside a ring with.
As we come accross a Syracuse Post Standard, the newspaper features a article in the Local section, and we spot WFWF's own, CBT.
The article talks about CBT battling WFWF Legend, ZMaster, at Superbrawl IV and getting the win over the Hall of Famer, but it goes on. As mention is made of CBT becoming co-owner of the WFWF in November of 2006, this leads to comments about his in ring career post-Ownership.
As the article highlights that he would go on to wrestle two more matches, there is a slightly critical comment made towards what CBT called his final match on 12/3 against co-Owner, and the other 1/2 of Higher Authority, Reverend Shadow.
As the Writer reports that "CBT will be returning to the ring, exactly 7 weeks after retiring from it..." Tha CBT concludes the interview by informing the writer, that this was a 1-time deal, and that he left on his own accord, and was free to return to the ring whenever. He just didn't have it in him, to pull double duty.
Overall this was a great piece of pr, with CBT doing his best to stay out of character.
As irony has it though, the man himself is spotted just down the road, as he respectfully stops to sign some autographs, we try to catch up to him and get some comments on his last-minute change to the 1/21 show
As one last fan waits for CBT to sign his t-shirt, we politely wait, as he takes notice of the camera man that follows us.
Tha CBT: So let me guess, WFWF or Local?
Camera Man: Just some wrestling fans, we do our own share of reporting, but we mainly handle local shows.
CBT: Well I can see what I can do about bringing a show down here, but considering the locals, and by that I mean the fans.. I don't know if we're looking for that fan-base.
CM: Haha! What are you saying? Syracuse' fan-base is not hardcore enough for you?
CBT: There plenty hardcore, in a "we'll like it, even if it sucks", sort of way. But I mean no offense, I guess I'm just busy, on my way to LA.
CM: I heard, your returning.. well, wrestling I guess would be better wording. Why though? and why against Shadow again? I mean, we know the 1st match was just for competition, but wouldn't this be a PPV main event?
CBT: you know, your right. But I've been with WFWF for 2+ years, I've seen plenty of PPV quality matches blown on the mid-card. Hell, I've seen plenty of potential matches that were never even considered. I try to difference myself from that, be the owner that delivers.
CM: That's cool. But I'd be stupid to not ask, what about the other factors? Why Shadow and why now?
CBT: Heh, you ever hear of "subject to change"? well I avoided that, I found out Wayne couldn't make the show, so I just gave Rev the best I could get on short notice. There wasn't really a alternative choice, so I put my ass out there to give the match a can't miss aura. It's nothing against Rev or Wayne, I just deliver.. and if I can't, I deliver on plan b.
CM: Fair enough. Any comments on your latest blog, "Betrayal; Portrayal." Any meaning behind it?
CBT: Not Really.
CM: Really?
CBT: Did I studder? I said no. I've never pulled punches prior to being owner, why start now? Would it be a fair way to run business, if I didn't critique or find fault, in my own product? I mean, it all goes back to my delivering on a show. I give WFWF, the type of show, I'd pay to see or tune in to watch, and not be inspired to change the channel. So, in all fairness. I reserve the right to say shit, that not everybody will like. But yea, bottom line, there's no reason to assume anything from that.
You want answers, do like you did 15 minutes ago, and walk up to the source. I won't bite my tongue in saying, Wayne McGurk is a unworthy piece of shit, and all the men chosen in this tourney to crown a heavyweight champion, barely register as contenders to the International title.
CM: .....
CBT: Is that about all of my time I can contribute?
CM: Huh?
CBT: Are you done?
CM: Um, yea, I think so
CBT: Your Welcome.
CM: Oh, uh thanks.
As CBT grabs hold of a duffle bag he had laid down beside him, he leaves the area, in route to the Los Angelos' Staples Center, for his match with fellow Higher Authority member Reverend Shadow, in the main event of the 1/21 Felo De Se show.

OOC: There we go, my RP is in, and yes Revvie.. I Showed This Time.
If your expecting something marvelous, you came into this RP, with bad intentions and false hope. I will say though, I'm fairly happy with this, as it gave me a chance to see if I had it come down the road. I think I opened up strong, and have no inhabitions, just interest in how it is interpreted.
