The more things change...
After four years in this business, and after proving myself as the UNDISPUTED GOD of WRESTLING after defeating that paper champion LOCO in the LVPWA, Nick Demola still gets no respect.
The long list of pathetic souls who have been torn apart by the greatest wrestler of your generation is long, about 450 people long. We've got Ken Curtis, LOCO, Setzer Van Strife, Andrew Tucker, Valtharius the Mad... and still nobody cares.
At Wrestlebowl I attempted to take my waste of space tag partner, Dan Kaufmann, and drag his sorry ass to the second round, only to prove that he's just another insolent puke who doesn't earn his way anymore and relies on name alone for his standing in this sport.
What is all this ranting leading to, you ask? It leads to one name. Two words.
Brody Thunder.
The LVPWA has seen its share of half-ass superstars in its roster. From Setzer Van Strife to LOCO to now Ken Curtis. But Mr. Cancer Survivor is surely the most half-ass of them all. It seems that this guy, whose best days are so far back even Bob Hope wasn't alive for them, wants to stick his nose in the business of myself and my associate Chris Courtade. Ken Curtis was on his knees, begging for us to stop the beating, and out comes this guy getting a cheap pop at our expense. And then he says he doesn't want to wrestle anymore?
He's just like all these other losers. Guys like Simon Ezra, Casey James, and the aforementioned Kaufmann, LOCO, and Curtis. These guys have been at the top for so long it seems that the presidents of federations just stick them at the top of cards. They're the big draws. And rather than being creative and CREATING big stars or elevating new stars, they'd rather stick with the status quo.
Well I've got news for Thunder and all these other guys. Starting in LVPWA, starting with Chris Courtade and Nick Demola, this ship gets turned around. There is a new breed of wrestler in town. We don't play the role of a typical cowardly heel. We aren't mentally challenged. We aren't babyface schmucks who go for cheap pops. We're right up at you, smacking you in the face and kicking you in the gut before you know it.
Thunder? He doesn't even want to wrestle me. And that's just fine. Because I'm not intending to wrestle him at all. What I'm going to do is take the frustration of four years of being held down, the four years of being buried for the sake of the "big names", and beat him upside his face and body with it. And in the end it's not going to be another case of "business as usual". It will be the dawning of a new business.
Go run behind the skirts of your fed presidents now, Old Guard. Your shift is done and we're taking the castle by storm.
STRIKE UP THE BAND!!! Nick Demola is OUTTA HERE!!!
