I’ve been doing two things at once. I’m currently training right now and on the other side of things; I’m still trying to figure out just who I am. It’s hard to focus on one thing while being focused on something that’s far more important than wrestling, my life. Catherine has brought my friend Tank to help me along. We started off by jogging to get my legs back in shape and then we lifted a few weights. Just by watching wrestling videos, I remembered some of my moves.
Tank is inside watching television. Catherine and I are sitting outside listening to the chirping birds and the morning breeze. She looked so beautiful and I was sweating like a pig. She looked at me and smiled. I grabbed her hand and started a conversation.
“There’s still a part of me saying that I shouldn’t go back into that ring. I’ve got a great feeling that I know something about my career, something that you won’t tell me.”
“I don’t want to see you get hurt again.”
“You won’t, I promise you that. If you know anything about my career then please fill me in on the details.”
“I couldn’t tell you the truth. I’m sorry; I just don’t want you to go back to them finding all the answers. You’ll get manipulated and you’ll turn to their side.”
“Who’s side? What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about Night and Daye, Final Cut. They wanted you to do bad things when you were with them. They wanted you to do their dirty work for them. I won’t let happen to you this time. I just won’t.”
“I can assure you that I will never turn to the bad side if that’s what you are worried about. I’m glad you told about them, they should know how I work in the ring. Maybe they’ll think twice about messing with me.”
Tank burst out the door with a smile on his face. Cat and I both looked up at him as he began speaking. I turned from him but not in disrespect but to think a little bit. I listened to him as he explained what he just heard.
“There was a voice over from Night. He was cutting a promo via audio. There going to replay it in a minute. Come in and check it out!”
I walked inside with Catherine and Tank. I saw an empty and sat in it. I listened at I heard Night spill the beans how him and Daye are on a roll in POW and he was just throwing insults to my partner and opponents. He said nothing but good things about me. I paid no attention though and just brushed his insults toward my partner to the side. I looked at Cat and Tank both.
“He says this Final Cut is on a roll yet I’ve only seen that they won one match in POW New England. I’m sure it was an impressive first match victory but I don’t call that a major roll. Tell me, what else have these guys done? Help me rekindle my memory on these two guys.”
Tank glared at Cat as if he wanted her to explain. He might’ve been afraid he was going to say something I shouldn’t have heard. Catherine looked back at me and started talking about the history we’ve had.
“When you were with Night and Daye, you weren’t too good in the ring because they had you wrestling like they wanted you to wrestle. You spread apart from them after they joined Lacklan and you boosted your singles career holding more titles than they ever had.”
“We wanted to challenge them in their own game which was a tag team match, but I was sidelined with injuries.”
I looked at them both then out the window. I had a feeling they were still hiding something from me. I didn’t want to say anything to them. I just thought in my head why they would lie to me about who I am and what my notions were with these two superstars, Night and Daye.
I looked away from the window and continued talking with Tank and Catherine. I continued listening to Night ramble on. It was quiet weird that a grown man sounded like a little child in a dream world but I’m not going to throw insults. I started talking again.
“If I’m such a great wrestler then why is this guy not worrying about me too much? Why would he feel sorry for me for teaming with a ‘zombie’?”
“He’s just very cocky and thinks that just because he’s a champion that he can run through anybody in the business.”
“Well have I wrestled him?”
Catherine hesitated for a minute then answered. Tank just sat there and looked on.
“You fought him once and lost due to Daye’s interference. That was how those two always defeated you. On a one on one situation you’ve beaten Daye but some say it was a fluke because Paul Rodgers switched the decision when Daye pinned you.”
I looked down at the ground with disappointment. I can’t even remember losing to these guys. I don’t remember much of anything except for how I wrestled in the ring. I stood up and walked over to the window. Out of no where it began to rain and I heard the rumble of the sky as it was filled with lightening. I continued looking and started talking again.
“How am I supposed to wrestle with these guys if they know each and every one of my moves? If I’ve wrestled them before then how am I supposed to fight against them if I can’t remember anything?”
“Cobra man, just think as if you’ve never wrestled before. Do new things and different tactics from what you saw on those videos. Don’t let your spirits down because you can’t remember anything. Have faith man!”
“Thanks Tank. I think I will do that. I am not going to let this stand in the way of my in ring return. I am not going to be pushed around the ring like a cripple. In my eyes I see a reliable partner in Jason Resurrection. Night I don’t see a reliable partner in your friend Daye.”
I turned from the window. Then I suddenly saw a picture of me standing in a ring with two guys. They seemed to be Night and Daye. I didn’t say anything to the other two because I was afraid of lies. I know they don’t mean me any harm and I don’t blame them. But what is stopping me from finding out the truth. What’s stopping Daye from spilling the beans or Night opening his mouth about my past?
I walked and sat back on the chair. Catherine came over and sat on my lap. Tank then walked into a bedroom and came out with a belt over his shoulder. It read No F’N Rulz on the center plate and I widened my eyes and began talking.
“Is that my title?”
“Yes it is my friend. You beat Dr. Daiga to become the longest reigning No F’N Rulz champion in New Era Wrestling history. Night was one of the former champs but he couldn’t live up to its name.”
I took the title from him and glazed but my memory was coming back. I remember a boat with crabs. I remember throwing men off that boat and another man being swallowed by a wave. It suddenly hit me.
“Deadliest Catch as Catch Can match. I remember defending this belt on a boat and shaking hands with one man. Cat you were with me were you not?”
“Yes I was! You remember. It’s great that you’re getting your memory back.”
“It would appear that it’s coming slowly but surely. I can’t wait until I fully gain my memories. I can’t wait until I step in that ring on the 15th. Speaking of which aren’t there two other opponents in that match, another tag team?”
Catherine stood up and walked over to the computer screen and pulled up a brief bio of the other team. First she clicked on Mikey Badass and noticed something about this guy and she spoke.
“This guy is residing in New York, New York. That is where you are from I think that is pretty interesting.”
“Wouldn’t that be something if we crossed paths walking around the streets or something? It would be interesting to see this guy in the ring. How about the next guy? Isn’t his name Dante Bishop? I’ve never heard of someone with that name.”
She looked up Dante Bishop and pulled up his profile. She began talking.
“It says here he is from Norfolk, Virginia. There isn’t really anything interesting about his guy although when I looked back at Mikey’s profile, it says that he is a former champion in two different feds, nothing you’ve heard of though.”
She walked back over after shutting down the computer. Tank walked over to the door and opened it. He looked back at us and started talking.
“Hey love birds. I’ve got to get going and run some errands. If you need any help Cobra give me a call. Cat, I will see you around.”
Tank turned back and ran out in the pouring rain without giving us time to say anything. I looked up at Catherine as she was on my lap again.
“He seems like a cool guy. I’m hoping he can get back into the ring again. Maybe he and I can form a tag team again.”
“Yea that would be great. You two are the only undefeated tag team I know. You two destroyed the tag team in your debuting matches as tag competitors.”
“You know something, I wonder if Dante and Mikey can actually tag together. When I watched Mikey’s promo he had nothing to say about any of us or Final Cut. He was just bad talking his own partner. Even then I haven’t seen Dante on the screen yet and Daye has yet to show up.”
“That only gives you and Jason the advantage.”
“I was thinking too. What happens if we pin one of the tag champs? Would that mean we get a tag team title match?”
“I don’t know to be honest. I would think so though.”
“I’m a little worried because I don’t know what’s going to happen in the ring. What if I can’t take the bumps and bruises because of the accident?”
“I was worried about that too. The doctor never did clear you to wrestle again; it was just cleared that you can leave the hospital.”
“Do you want me to go back and get check out and maybe get cleared to wrestle?”
“I think that would be best. Let me call him to make arrangements. Why don’t you go and get some rest. Your body needs time to finish healing if in fact that’s what it needs.”
“That’s a good idea. Just wake me up later if there is anything I should know.”
Catherine stood up and walked over to the phone. I got up and walked over to her and shared a hug and kiss together. I then turned and as I was walking to my room I started thinking.
I hope I am cleared to wrestle. I want to so bad to get back in the ring and I want to prove to everyone that I can still move even after the terrible accident I was in. I am hoping that the people will bring me back to life as stupid as that may sound. I will not let this kill my hopes of becoming the professional wrestler I once was.
The screen faded to the POW logo as the cameras turned off after seeing Cobra lay down on his bed.
Tank is inside watching television. Catherine and I are sitting outside listening to the chirping birds and the morning breeze. She looked so beautiful and I was sweating like a pig. She looked at me and smiled. I grabbed her hand and started a conversation.
