Rehabilitated
Yeah, it's for another E-fed, thought I would share it.
Backstage in the arena, roughly 3 hours before show a very good looking man, wearing sunglasses and holding a large duffle bag. As he pasts one of the producers the producer jokingly says
"Is there a body in there! haha"
"I don't know, have you checked on your dog lately?"
"Well sorry Mr. Smart Ass"
Joe King violently pushes the producer up against the wall in the hall way.
"I don't quite understand where you get off disrespecting in such a way, but I promise you if it happens again you wont work for this company, or any company unless you do it in sign language becuase I will tear your vocal chordes right out of your skinny throat you son of a bitch!"
Joe shoves him halfway down the hallway. and goes into this locker room to prepare for his match. This is his first match in the united states in 8 years, it's been almost 3 years since working on television, and 6 months since wrestling at all. While wrapping his wrist in tape, many thoughts go through his mind. He wonders to himself if he'll have ring rust. He asks himself if he has the stamina to go a full match, but he also knows that he needs to prove himself.
Just then Justin Michaels, the backstage interviewer approaches Joe.
"Excuse me Mr. King, May I be the first to welcome you to XWA and ask for a quick word regarding you match"
Joe looks into the camera and gives a smirk.
"You know, I have alot of experience, Damon Brookes has a lot of expirence. Together we have no experience. One word for tonights match.... EPIC!"
He knows he can mess up he can't get into any physical altercations backstage, he can't be mouthy to his fellow wrestlers, he has to last in XWA, this may be his last chance to wise to stardom in the united states. At the same time he knows he can't let the other wrestlers pick him apart he has to stand up for himself, he has to prove he's a man.
His father, a very accomplished wrestler over seas has laid the foundation for the King wrestling family, now Joe must build the house. With what seems the weight of the world on his shoulders Joe heads out towards the ring as his music starts to play.
Joe walks out to a blaze of gold pyro exploding all the way from the tron to the ring, the crowd is on there feet, welcoming the second generation superstar into XWA.
You can see the look in Joe's eye, he's proud. He know's his Dad is proud to, and in the end that's what matters, that he made his Mother and Father proud.
"Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home...."
After the opening guitar licks of Guns 'N Rose's hit song "Paradise City" starts to blast through out the sold out arena, Joe makes his way to the ring, shaking hands with members of the audience and signing a few autograph.
One in particular the camera panned in on, a young boy in the audience was holding a sign that said " "Stunning" Joe King!, The one "n only!" Joe, grabbed the sign and autographed it for the kid. After that the father asked for a picture, so Joe lifted the kid over the barrier and put him on his shoulder. both The child and Joe have the thumbs up at the camera as the father snapped the photo.
Joe makes his way to the steel steps and walks up the side of the rind, and steps between the Top and middle rope. he climbs the turn buckle and throws his hands in the air, after stepping down Joe hands the Ring Announcer a note card and goes to the corner.
"Ladies and gentlemen now in the ring he's from Toledo Ohio, this second generation superstar spent most of his life in Japan, he now resides in San Fransisco California. He weighed in this afternoon at 226 pounds, he is "Stunning" Joe King"
A set of blue pyro goes off as Damon Brooks makes his way from behind the curtain. Damon is wearing Black tights, one side of the being Gold, and the other Blue, Joe quickly realizes these are the University of Michigan's colors, Ohio State's arch nemesis.
Damon doesn't hurry himself getting down the ring. He gets a good amount of boo's from the crowd, although some people in the first row are reaching out trying to touch Damon on the shoulder, he doesn't pay note to any of them, as he rolls in the ring, and walks around showcasing himself with his arms spread, as if everyone should be looking at him.
Joe shakes his head as if he wants to wipe Damons Smirk off of his face, but he waits and stretches. He lets his anger build up, like the steam in a tea pot, slowly,and slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now inside the ring, he is from parts unknown, he weighed in this after noon at 246 pounds, he is Damon Brooks!
!Ding!

Kick Out!
Joe rolls over and covers with his face with his hands, he lets out a huge sigh and sits up. Joe knows he's hit him with just about everything he can. He's tired, and is having a hard time catching his breath. What man people don't know about Joe is that he has Asthma and he has it pretty bad. Only one in his life has he had to use his inhaler in a match. just in case he keeps it in his tights. Joe uses the ropes to help himself up, one knee at a time. He starts coughing really bad. Damon is to his feet and starts to unload punches on Joe as Joe keeps coughing. Joe starts to cough more and more while he is still getting blasted in the face. The referee starts to think about stopping the match, but Joe uses his leg to kick Damon away and Damon bumps into the referee and sends him rolling to the floor.
Joe pulls out his inhaler and takes a hit off of it, and as Damon rushes back in to hit Joe, Joe sticks his inhaler out and squirts Damon in the eyes with the medicine, Damon starts to step back words as he is very stunned and is blinded by the juice.

The Crowd is on there feet, some for Joe and some concerned about Damon's neck being crushed!
One!
A thousand beads of sweat pours down Joe's face as he waits in anticipation for his first american match's outcome.

Mathews: Interesting that you would say that Joe--
Joe and Josh at the same time: Mr. King
Mathews: Do you think that XWA will be a challenge to you?
Joe: Of course, I don't do something, unless I think it'll be a challenge. I don't like easy, I like a challenge.... If I wanted easy I would have signed for S.IW, What does S.IW stand for anyways?
