Shocked are we? Confused, maybe? Don't feel bad, I didn't even know what was going on for a minute there. Who would have thunk it huh? Just a few weeks ago, JJ was HELPING Judgement tear into me. Times change when DF members screw over their teammates, doesn't it guys? Sure many will say that me and Taker don't like each other, well that's actually quite the opposite, dispite what either of us will claim. I respect Taker, and I know he respects me, we both made that quite known back in April or March. Whenever. Anyway, this little thing we have going on now is a battle of ego supremacy. I mean, Taker's 50% of the power around here, and he's just gonna rub it in my face. So when he first took JJ Crawford, when he put Sane against me, he thought it'd all work out in the end, but now JJ has remembered where his true friends are, not to trust Taker, and he's back with The Pac. As for Sane? Well in case you didn't know he's on really good terms with me at the moment.

It's just funny how things turn out. I mean here we are at our contract signing. I put My Brand New Ashtray.....I mean The SOB Title, on the line in Judgement's match. Did I do that to piss Judgement off? Not really. I just haven't held gold in so long, and well that SOB title really bothers me. Taker brought it as an ego-booster. Man what a deflation that would be if I did what I wanted to do all those months ago. So anyway, we have a contract signing. Judgement signs it, I sign it, I make the contract safe and he jumps my ass.

I seriously thought he was going to cripple me. I wasn't scared, mind you, as I fear nothing. But when he had me upside down, I had flashbacks of when he tried to do it the first time, when I got lucky, and I knew that if he nailed it on that chair I might not be lucky again. Oh hell I'll admit, I was scared for that single moment. Fear is a funny thing. When I leap off with that death-defying One Step Closer, from turnbuckles, off ladders, I even did it off a CAR once, I fear nothing. I feel free to tell the truth. But when Judgement was about to end my livelihood, the thing that makes me what I am, when he was trying to cripple me, fear slided in. It's not my proudest moment. Who wouldn't fear being crippled? Any living human being fears not being able to use a body part, or have to quit their profession because of an unrepairable injury. Even Judgement does. Oh I know he won't admit it, he admits nothing even if it's true. But everyone does. And you know what? While I was scared of being crippled, in that single instant, I actually felt a thrill. Call me crazy, but I was freaking being held in the air about to possibly get my neck broken, and I was feeling like I'm on a roller coaster. It's extrememly scary with some of them, but you get a thrill as well. So I'd have to thank Judgement for giving me my first taste of fear and thrill at the same time.

So, he has me up in the tombstone position. Then..that song by whatever band he has playing his theme hits, and out comes Judgement. Of course I'm freaking upside down so I don't know what's going on, but Judgement is just bewildered. He drops me, and even with that mask on, I could tell it was JJ. He was always one to make a big impact. But what shocked me, was the fact that he superkicked Judgement. I thought we'd never be friends again after the shit he was trying. He wanted me to fight him in a retirement match! So when he superkicked Judgement, I wasn't sure what to think. Of course Judgement almost hurt JJ as well, so I helped JJ out and now Judgement probably thinks he's a superman. Well I heard his promo, so I will take out what I think is interesting...

Joe hears a noise and hits PAUSE. He goes to the door and Mandy has come home. He greets her with a kiss and she looks drunk.

Mandy..you look drunk.

I think I'm just half-drunk, but I'll be ok. I really just need a shower, would you like to join me?

Joe grins at the thought.

You ARE drunk.

So if I want to get intimate with my husband it qualifies me as drunk?

No you still have the price tag from the lingere you put on after buying it from Victoria's secret. I can see it attached to your bra.

(giggles) Well that still doesn't say why you can't take me up on my offer...

Nope I guess it doesn't. Let's go.

Joe and Mandy start heading up stairs to the showerroom when there is a knock on the door.

Shit...you go up there and have your shower I'll be up later..

Joe goes to the door and opens it to see his brother GI standing there...busted open and half-consious.

SHIT! Steve...what happened?

Steve collapses and Joe gets his brother up and places him in the guest room.

Come on bro, talk to me. What happened?

Got jumped......crowbar......gang...

Bro I know your half-consious, but I can't I can't help you out if you don't answer me...

GI passes out and Joe immediatly pulls out his cell and dials 911. He yells at Mandy that he has to leave and she gets dressed and runs down the steps only to see GI laying on the couch, unconsious and bleeding tons. A few minutes later a ambulance is there, and Gi is loaded onto it on a stretcher. Joe rides with him as the camera inside the house is still on pause...

The scene reopens at the hospital, and Joe patiently waits word on his brother.

Mr. Lee? Your brother came around long enough to tell us what happened. A group of thugs caught him just outside your house and roughed him up pretty bad. He has multiple concussions and head trauma, and his forearm is fracutured. He is currently unconsious again...do you want to see....

Joe is already gone.

The scene reopens yet again to an alley near Joe's house. The group of thugs, 3, are there with what looks to be GI's wallet and credit cards, plus loads of drugs. One of them is average built, bald except for a small mohawk, which is green, and an eyebrow piercing. The other is a small guy, just normal looking really, with a good amount of hair. The third is a large hulking man, completely bald and with a nosering and shades on. It is just a drizzle outside. Joe's Porsche pulls up next to the alley, and Joe gets out to where the thugs can see, but to where they think he can't see them.

Hey boys look at the sweet ride...the guy must be rich.

Joe hears this but still stands there. He pulls out his wallet and counts the money..

Man I have no idea I still had the hundreds of dollars left...I really need to spend more when I go by jewels for my wife...

You hear that guys? A porsche, money, jewels! Let's kick his guys ass so we can have the good life!

(whisper)Yeah you guys come over and kick my ass....

The small sized thug comes up first and snatches Joe's wallet from him. He acts normal at first, and the strong guy comes up and holds up against the car while the average sized one grabs a crowbar and swings at Joe, but Joe pulls the big guy in the way and the crowbar slams into his ribs. The large man howls with pain and Joe punches him in the jaw, sending him sprawling across Joe's trunk then falling on the ground holding his ribs. Joe has no time to celebrate, the small guy runs for his ankles and Joe puts a foot up and catches the guy in the chin, making him bite his tounge and he too screams as his tongue looks nearly severed as blood oozes from his mouth, and through his fingers as he holds his hand over the cut. The guy with the crowbar tries next, Joe ducks the crowbar shot and punches him with a stiff shot to the abdomen. He doubles over, and Joe slams the guys head into the trunk, knocking him out. The big guy is back up, hurt but still moving. Realizing the big guy will take more work, he ducks a punch which knocks the rearview mirror of the porsche..could have taken Joe's head off.

Oh you son of a bitch.

Joe lets loose with a barrage of punches in the abs and a left hook sends the big guy to dreamland. Joe grabs his brother's wallet and money, as well as his own. He then searches the guy's pockets and takes HIS money from his wallet!

Well that rearview mirror isn't coming out of MY money...

Joe gets in his car and drives off with the rearview mirror inside, after he called the police..

What were you thinking? You could have been killed!!!

You know, so seemed so much nicer when you were drunk last night.

The scene opens back in Joe's house. It is morning now, Thursday, and Joe is at home after what was a wild night. For those wanting details, GI is still in the hospital, looking better and with a cast on, to be released in one or two days. Mandy is no longer drunk, and the bad guys were arrested. The short guys' tongue was sewn back together, although he really won't taste sweets again. The big guy's rib was broken, and the other guy has head trauma. Joe is now with Mandy.

I'm serious Joe, I mean you said he nearly took your head off with a punch!

So does half the guys in the back whenever I go to fight.

Yeah I guess your right, you just worry me with your reckless behavior sometimes. Anyway...I think I'm going to take that shower now...I'm tired...wanna join me in bed when I finish?

Sure babe.

And don't get that gleam in your eye, we aren't doing THAT right now..just sleeping.

(Innocently)Who me? Now why would I get that "gleam" in my eye?

The same reason I do when I look at you. (giggles again)

You are wild today, girl! I thought you wanted sleep?

I do..but we can always wake each other up later today can't we?

They kiss again and Mandy heads up to take a shower. Joe, smiling at the fact he has a very good life, heads to the den to train. He notices the camera...and realizes it was on pause all this time! He turns it back on and sits down to finish.

Well I'm back. Took about...8 hours to do all of what I did. I'd say what happened, but you know, it doesn't matter. I had some personal issues to handle with. When the news report comes on tonight and it says anonymous guy beats up thugs, well I didn't want the media hype on me. Damn guys knocked the mirror off my porshe though! Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, according to when I checked the tape a minute ago, I was about to continue my promo to you, Judgement, about why you suck terribly, and I am the mother fucking Shit!

Oh man I knew you'd bring the BYE up. Do you have any idea how much time this PPV has on the channel? We are contracted this month for 3 hours, 10 minutes. We have 13 mind blowing matches, one of which is a 30 minute Iron Man match. And you think I'm gonna give you two another match just to inflate your ego's? No way, I want to keep ICW on PPV and roll in the big money. Then again, that whole "fair" thing does come into play. I mean, while I doubt you'd do the same if our positions were switched.

Another fun topic, the "New Masterpiece" bit. You know I really outdone myself with that one. Taker, the guy who thinks he knows everything, was fooled. He mailed me 50 bucks as a consolation for a possible 9 month injury. Now it's just 50 bucks, but still, he thought my career could have been over. You think I shouldn't call myself a masterpiece? I was in a wheelchair, I saw fans crying! I was mailed lots of cards and things. Of course the fans gifts I gave back because I wasn't really injured so I couldn't accept them. That trick, was the best I've ever come up with. IT was a work of art..a masterpiece, if you will. But that's not the reason I call myself that if you listened once in a while. I am the New Masterpiece, because when I'm in the ring, my matches are works of art. You know? I'm not surprised at me either. Because if I have a problem with someone, I'm going to use every trick up my sleeve to eleviate myself of that problem. You're like a pimple on the ass of ICW, Judgement. You say payback is a bitch, well in that case you're in for a trip to the doghouse buddy! This payback that I'm giving you for trying to cripple me, is going to be like getting hit by a truck! We'll see you at ICW HQ asking janitors if they got the license number! You think letting me survive was a good thing? You got another thing coming..and it's called The One Step Closer..

Before I get back to Judgement I have a little message for Taker, the guy who's literally kissing his ass. I know you're on an ego-trip and you think all of these things. But you're far from the truth! I'm not friends with Justin Sane, no, because I don't even know him! But I do have friends. I have a sexy women showering in my house, who I'm probably going to have sex with later on tonight. Oh yeah, she's a freaking supermodel and we're married. I have two other friends, JJ Crawford, a man you know really well, and Norton, a guy who's just itching to come back. They say that shoulder of his is almost healed! So basically Taker I have one thing, and one thing only to say to you. The next time I want your opinion...I'll give it to you!

Now back to the guy who's ass is getting kicked this Wednesday. I won't mention any names, you all know the guy though, his initials are Judgement. Oops. Naw that wasn't a mistake. Now I noticed you gave me props. Well that earns 1 brownie point in my book. Expect 50 cents raise in your paycheck. No seriously, if you want to get all sentimental, I will. I respect Kanich. Kanich is one of the greatest wrestlers I've ever seen. He was my best friend at times, and if I ever stepped in the ring with him again, it'd be hell. But you know something Judgement? As far as I'm concered, Kanich died when I got chokeslammed through the announce table a month ago. I just see you, a guy who used to be somebody, but now, is a shell of his former self. I have no respect for you. And why should I? Weeks of sneak attacks and runaways? Oh yes Judgement, you have run away quite a few times, after all, you can't exactly be held back by a group of skinny-ass referees and EMT's now can you?

You say you're going to deliever pain and well, TORMENT to me. You say it's going to be a war when we fight. I'm looking forward to it, Judgement. You want to make me bleed? Go ahead if it pleases you, I've got a nice cut just starting to heal from last week's bloodshed. You want to toss me around? You've got the power, do it. The more pain you inflict on me, the more I'm gonna get up. So if you want to cripple me Judgement...if you want to take my career away, you had better do it at ICW Torment, while you have the chance. Because if you don't cripple me, I'm going to get up, and get up, and keep laying into you. I won't stay down for someone like you. You'd better cripple me if you know what's good for you. That's the only way you can stop me. And if you don't cripple me...well let's just say I'll have a new ashtray come next Thursday morning? Why? Because I'm Joe Cool and I can.

Joe shuts off the camera then heads upstairs to get him some....................sleep. You pervs!
