Ah, another show come and gone.
Saturday night went pretty well if I do say so myself, and i'm pretty sure I just did.
The crowd was live and large, two hundred people or so to be exact, maybe more. Given the number I would have to suppose that we brought in quite a few nice toys for Toys For Tots. There's nothing better than knowing not only did you have a good show but also that it was for a good cause.
I only worked one time since we were way overbooked in the back. It's probably the most crowded locker room i've ever seen. Once everything was said and done the show clocked in at just over four hours, surprisingly enough almost all of the fans stayed the whole time.
Our match was booked as a singles competition between "Frost" and "Showtime" with a run in from "Promo" for us and a run in from "Future" on "Showtimes" behalf, but due to the number of boys we had to find spots for it was turned into a straight up tag match between the four.
I came out first to A Perfect Circles version of John Lennons "Imagine" and got on the Mic to introduce my boys. I started off by pulling the audience in with questions like "is everyone enjoying the show? Think you've seen some good wrestling here tonight? Really? WELL THAT JUST PROVES HOW LITTLE YOU IGNORANT REDNECKS KNOW!!!" "NOW EVERYBODY GET UP OFF THEIR FAT, LAZY, IMBRED ASSES AND PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE GREATEST TAG TEAM YOU MISERABLE, UNWASHED, CRETINS WILL EVER HOPE TO SEE...MIKE "THE PUNISHER" PROMO...AND LORD FROST!!!" (I growled their names out)
Then their music hit, it was A Perfect Circles "Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums", and out they came to cheers and boos alike. "Frost" gurgled up blood which is always a fan favorite. We spent a while working the crowd and me working the ref before they eventually took the ring. We later found out after the show that "Frost" had made a little girl pee her pants. Seriously, a little girl about eight or nine years old got so scared by "Frost" that she wet herslef. We all agreed that it was totally awesome in a totally regretable sort of way.
"Promo" and "Future" started off by doing some fast and furious grappling. It set the mood perfectly because it looked like they hated each other and were trying to kill each other.
I worked the crowd like there was no tomorrow. At one point this skinny little redneck guy told me to shut up and I turned around and told him to do the same and he came back with "why don't come over here and shut me up, fatass" so I went over there and got in his face and he stood up and got in my face and I told him to sit down and shut the fuck up when he started in about how he was going to kick my ass. Well, after about three seconds of this I knew that this guy was serious and itching for a fight, part of me thought to myself that I should just blow him off and leave it alone but then the worker in me took over and I just kept pouring it on. Pretty soon security came over and told him to sit down too and that's when his big ol' cousin/daddy got up and proceeded to tell us all in a really thick, drunken, one toothed, accent that we "Wurnt gunna tell 'im whut ta doo". As soon as that happened one of the boys from the back that had already dressed down came over and broke it up and I went back to ringside. I guess I was probably about a heartbeat from having gotten punched in the face but y'know what? I would have taken it and sold it and worked it all to the crowd. Yes, for any of you who are reading this and haven't caught on yet, I am in fact out of my mind.
From there it basically turned into a free for all for another fourty five minutes or so until every weapon in the house had been used, a Kendo stick, chairs, a computer keypad, a video camera, tables, a giant nail, my cane. "Future" was supposed to "juice" but lost his "gig" and "frost" decided that doing it the "hardway" with the giant nail was a bad idea.
We beat on "Future" some more and then "Frost" gave the ref a Tiger Driver and made his mom literaly cry when "Freak" and "K.I.T." came out to help rescue "future" and they got a Mafia Kick and a Swinging Rock Bottom, respecetively, for their troubles.
Finally all of the "Babyfaces" in the back came out and cleared us out of the ring and then "Promo" and "Future" did some mic work and we ended up beating on some more "Babys" until we broke and ran for the back.
So, to tally it all up. We scared people until they peed and cried, hit everyone with everything, and made rednecks so mad they wanted us dead. All in all would have to say that our first match for the AWA/IWF-TN was, in no uncertain terms, a resounding success. Or in "buisness" terms, we got "over" baby!
Oh yeah, one more thing on a wrestling related note. I finally did it, I finally dyed my hair black. I did it before the show Saturday. All of my hair, both on my head and on my face, is now as black as pitch. I think the overall effect makes me look a lot more evil when i'm in my "gimmick". Well, that and my mom hates it so that means it has to be good.
