'A Change?'
Why, the question is mouthed over and over again, like a campfire ritual. Something didn't smell right about this one, and the crowd knew it. A man who was royally screwed out of the World championship to Eric Baxter, and then he publicly comes out, costs the 'One Winged Angel' the United States championship against Mike Wilson, and then did some very questionable things. Let's not forget that Nicky Mills used to be a cold hearted asshole that would have done anything and everything to hurt people. He literally ended the career of Cundiff's then tag team partner, Gavin James, with a steel chair and then finished him off in the hospital with a bed-pan by posing as a doctor. Yes, he and used the excuse that he wanted to see his 'mean streak'. What kind of sick twisted bastard would do something like that? All for a match? It didn't matter to him, it was just business.
But it all happened over again at Sunday Mayhem, a night that will live in infamy as two things. The decimation of the entire family that Cundiff had being destroyed by Nicky Mills, his former best friend. And the day will live forever as we knew that a man can never truly change, and will always keep the characteristics. Ever since Mills became 'The Outlaw', he became a loathing, enraged cold hearted person who took pleasure in breaking the law. He has his reasons for wanting to change the One Winged Angel back into his former personality, but people know that he probably took pleasure in what he did. He showed the entire world the video that had Nicky Mills arrested in the first place for rape, but was never charged because Andrea didn't want to press charges. Doing this just shows he is proud of everything he did.
He got Andrea drunk and raped her. We all saw it, and know it, and yet this man is still in professional wrestling. And even that, the audience don't know half of what he is responsible for. Murder of two Mafia families, a casino heist taking eighty million dollars, and the Toronto Skydome Bus Bomb which has still not been solved. This man is not some ordinary wrestler, but a sick twisted individual with his own agendas.
Opening in a large meeting room the day after TNT Mayhem, we open to what was seen in Macintosh Roger's promo. Venom and Nic Totopoulous of the God's Disciples are talking to each other but all eyes seem to be on the one man that is in the middle of some very heavy controversy after his actions on yesterday's show. Kris Haven, Steve Xtreme, 'Dangerous' Dave Helms are keeping to themselves and waiting for the 'announcement' that everyone has been called in for. Macintosh enters the room and glares over at Nicky Mills, wearing an all black homemade suit and a pair of matching black sunglasses, who just smirks back at the wrestlers.
The slow hate filled glares started to piss me off. There was nothing I could have done, and I was already in enough trouble because of the actions I had taken. Like I said, most of these men are blood sucking leeches probably except for Nic, who I know hates me to bits now. None the less, I tried to help the One Winged Angel change, but now everyone's opinion about me has changed. No matter what I do, I'll always be blamed for it.
These men can't wait to see me in that ring, ready to tear me from limb to limb. Instead of the World champion, they are the bull, and I, unfortunately, am the colour red. Anything I do now will only make these guys madder, but what the fuck did I care? This had nothing to do with them, and they can't understand it. They never will.
Mike Wilson walks in the room with the United States championship and flips his middle fingers at everyone and sits down. Standing at the foot of the large table are TNT Commissioner Cid Clearwater and surprisingly, TNT owner Andrea Williams, who has a wheel chair. Mills shakes his head and lights up a cigar and begins puffing it, which irritates everyone else in the room. Despite this, Andrea is helped to her feet by Cid onto a set up podium, and she begins to speak to the wrestlers in the room.
Andrea Williams: Hello gentlemen. I am pleased to see that you all can read. I called you here because your commissioner, Cid Clearwater has a MAJOR announcement for next week. Excuse me, while I sit down and try to heal my injuries. Cid.
The sister of the William brothers grimaces in pain and that makes everyone look back at the man responsible for it, who just shrugs his shoulders and doesn't say a word. Cid stands up and begins his 'announcement'.
Cid Clearwater: Guys, all you bastards have been invited to a special match next week. The Eurasian Title is vacant, so, I figured...WHY DON'T WE PUT A STOP TO THAT SHIT? So, I set this little number up for next week. Everyone in this room, including one MYSTERY ENTRANT, will kick the crap out of each other, in a BATTLE ROYAL for the belt! If you're here, besides the janitor, you're in this fuckin' match! Macintosh Rogers, Nic Totopolous..
Staring at Mills with anger and hate in his eyes when he goes to say his name, he manages to utter it. There is some obvious hate because of his actions by all of the wrestlers against 'The Outlaw'.
He really hated me, and this guy wasn't even part of the family. He wasn't Christian, and he wasn't even Travis. Travis actually AGREED with me to do this, and I had his support. I told him what I had to do, and he just gave me the go ahead. I borrowed the 'Dynasty Hitmen' and a few of my hired thugs to make sure that nobody tried to stop me. Jonny owed me for sending the Baron down to see him, and I guess they agreed to help me out, just like they had done before to wipe out the Lunacchio Family from existence in New York.
Cid Clearwater is the TNT commissioner, and he's not related to Andrea, yet he felt he had the need to tell ME that I had no right to do such things before I scared the crap out of him with Jonny's guys. I can understand Christian's anger to rip me apart for my actions, but they were out of good. The room went tense and I could see Behemoth glaring at me, but it didn't matter. The only thing I knew was that I was right, and these guys knew nothing. The day that Cundiff comes back, they'll be kissing my ass for helping him come back to the light. This... is about jealousy, and I knew it as soon as I walked into that room.
Nicky Mills, Venom, Behemoth, Mike Wilson, Steve Xtreme, Kris Haven, and "Dangerous" David Helms. You guys will fight, for the belt. Now, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
All of the men leave the room while Nicky takes a puff of his cigar and stands up as well, winking at Andrea Williams and turns to walk out of the room before Cid walks right over to Mills and blocks his way. Everyone has left the room except for the two owners and Mills. Macintosh Rogers is being interviewed by Cole Matthews and doesn't seem happy with what was just announced. Cid walks right over to Mills with his fist clenched, and Nicky spots it and neither moves away or backs off, but is glued right to the spot.
Nicky Mills: Back off, little man. I don't want to have to get you fired for hitting me.
I hope you rot in hell for what you pulled off last night, you sick son of a bitch.
Fuck you. Who are you to give me orders?
Dicklhead, I'm your boss.
No, that was Andrea. And she's not in the best of shape, is she?
You...
Bastard? I've heard it all before. Believe it or not, Cid, I tried to turn the One Winged Angel back into Jeremy Cundiff, and I did. Do you understand how damn long I had to think about what I was going to do? HUH? Are you going to tell me that my actions were disgusting because YOU don't agree with them?! You don't know shit! I've been through hell and back with Jeremy and I wasn't going to let him succumb to that cancer of his.
Mills smiles and points to Andrea, who is watching all of this occur with a sad solemn face. A large fresh black bruise covers the left side of her face and she keeps her head down, daring not to look back up at her attacker.
She is the only person that could have helped him. When she gave the One Winged Angel that stipulation, I didn't think twice. But then I was robbed of the World title because he hated my guts. So tell me, Cid, are you going to stand here and tell me I was wrong for caring about Cundiff? He needed to be shown that he still cared for her. I had to make him see that he still loved her and that he would do anything for her. Does that make me a sick fuck, Cid? Hm?
Cid is clearly silenced by all of this and doesn't say a word, and Nicky responds with a small laugh.
I didn't think so. You, and the rest of your management, can kiss my ass. I'm sick of being your puppet. Baxter can take that and you can shape him into a bigger superstar than he already is, but I know that no matter what, he could never beat me fairly. Cundiff is not your puppet either, and he's only getting the title shot because you feel sorry for him, right? Or did Andrea wave some of that magic to get him the title shot?
I think you have said enough.
We're not done yet, Cid. Oh, by the way, I'll mail you a copy of that videotape. I'm already selling it on E-Bay. Getting quite a lot for it already...
Clearwater makes a move but restrains himself because of a call from Andrea and instead hits the table which puts a hole through it. Emotions are running high, and it seems that Nicky Mills has created this through his actions on Mayhem. He turns and walks out of the room, and Cole Matthews is seen standing outside. He looks at the wrestler with a look of disgust but he has to do his job. Nicky spots the interviewer and sneers.
Let me guess. You just have to interview the Godfather of Professional Wrestling, the man that is TNT's cornerstone, yeah? I mean, I'm raw talent after all. A diamond dozen, and you don't get better than me.
The famed TNT interviewer seems reluctant to say what is on his mind and his emotions show this, but manages to talk into the microphone and the camera is now staring at the former TNT World Heavyweight champion who is waiting for Matthews to speak.
Cole Matthews: I don't know what to ask you.
Your a damn interviewer, and your supposed to know. Look, you want to ask what possessed me against Andrea Williams, right? Why I assaulted her like I did? It seems that these bad looks that I keep getting have to be stopped sometime, right?
Maybe.
There's going to be a 'debate' about me on Mayhem, so you'll get my answers then. But I suppose your next question is about the Eurasian battle royal.
Yes.
And yeah, you'll get my answers sometime later on as well. So this interview is done.
Mills laughs and walks away from Matthews and his cell phone begins to ring. Flipping it open and looking at the screen, the caller's identity is noticed.
Jeremy Cundiff?
Noticing the camera is watching him, he walks into an un-used room and locks it so that the camera doesn't get in. The room goes silent and his voice is muffed but the camera is able to pick up some things that are being said from Mills, and it sounds like he is shouting.
I don't give a fuck about that medical shit! I agreed to help you out because Jeremy is a friend and I am not going to sit aside and watch this bullshit take everything dear to him! I have seen him survive through damn near everything you can put a person through, and you're telling me he's done NOW?
He's still fighting with himself. I don't get it. Why does he keep fighting with this 'One Winged Angel'? He should crush him no problem without assistance but is instead having so much trouble with him. Now I hear he fought with 'himself' on a webcast after Mayhem with Matthews, who just tried to interview me. Why can't he destroy him? Why did I have to risk everything and lost everyone's respect JUST to help him?
The muffled voice returns and a few moments later, the door swings open and Mills steps out looking rather angry and emotional. He looks at the camera that has been watching him and shouts at it.
Do I LOOK like I'm a fucking Osbourne to you?! No, so get out of here before I beat you within an inch of your miserable damn life, you blood sucking parasite!
He steps out of the camera view and walks off into the distance as the scene slowly fades to darkness.
