The arena goes pitch black. The fans go crazy as “Barton Hollow” by The Civil Wars begins to play through the speaker system. Neon blue and white lights flicker to the beat of the music and you can feel its pulse in your blood stream as fog fills the entrance area of the stage. The fans are irate as Steeltoe Joe comes walking out of the midst of the fog. Joe stops at the edge of the fog and then plays to the crowd as the thunder can be heard and felt from their hands and voices. Joe walks down the entrance ramp and when he gets to the ring steps he grabs a sign from one of the fans which says:
“HOLY WAR 2012”
Joe grabs it and then raises it high into the air as the fans cheer louder and louder. Joe burst up the ring steps and then when he gets into the ring he climbs the turnbuckle and plays to the crowd more and more by doing the motion of a catholic cross and then pointing towards Heaven above. Joe motions to the ring announcer for a microphone and then the arena and the fans do something never seen before… They quiet down like they are expecting something great to come from Joe’s mouth. Joe speaks:
Stj: Well I guess you all were expecting me right?
Joe nods his head as the fans listen to what he is saying.
Stj: I am just going to come out here and cut to the chase. I aint going to sugar coat it or pretty paint it. I have always told it how it is and I will continue to do so. Now, a lot of people keep asking me for the last few weeks… “Joe, have you gone crazy?” They keep asking and if I am going to be ok and insisting that I need some sort of professional help but I tell you the truth right now. I am.
Joe stops as the fans grow even more speechless about him. Joe speaks again.
Stj: God stated to Moses one prolific day in the old testament of the Bible, “I am.” God stated that he was neither here nor there. He was neither he nor thee, he simply put was I AM. Now that leaves many to speculate about what exactly God meant, I wont leave you with this suspicion because I will tell you exactly what I AM! I AM STEELTOE JOE!
The fans get excited at hearing this and they cheer as loud as you think they can get. Joe doesn’t stop there though.
Stj: I am the Holy Flame! I am the righteous juggernaut! I am the Man of real steel! I am the past, present and future of professional wrestling! I am the living legend! I am the walking, talking, demon fighting good for nothin’ country SOB I have always been! I am the “it” and the “now” factor! I am half of the Prophecy! I am the icon and the next winner of WAR and then I will be the WCF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
The fans are ecstatic as Joe keeps going and going.
Stj: Now I do have some explaining to do. You guys may have been noticing a certain figure lurking around me the past few weeks. That was a man from my past whom I should have left in my past. Sometimes though, we must walk a few steps backwards to keep moving progressively forward and with that man back in my life. He took his sick and sadistic ways of manipulating the mind like hypnotism and he was able to push a part of me out of the seams that I haven’t had pressed in years. I use to have a ruthless aggression that couldn’t be stopped and a lust for pain that couldn’t be quenched. I would use the pain and turmoil of my past as energy to inflict pain upon the people who stepped into the ring with me. This ruthless aggression is now back.
The fans cheer but they don’t know what they are cheering about in all reality, but Joe continues.
Stj: Now I haven’t gone crazy, and this time I wont let this aggression control me. I hope to control it. I hope to harness it and balance it like I used to be able to and I promise to use this new found appreciation of violence to win my next match which just so happens to be at WAR! How many of you guys want to see Steeltoe Joe kick 32 peoples asses and then win WAR!?!?!
The fans cheer louder and louder.
Stj: I CANT HEAR YOU! I said, how many of you want to see Bog Joe open up a can of whoop ass on all these sonsabitches at WAR!?! Odin, Ill beat him! Oblivion, ill beat him! Price, Eric and Jay… Ill beat them! Synn, that crazy asshole who thinks he is on a Holy Mission… Ill beat his ass too! The Misfits, the Church of Dark Saints or anybody else that wants to come in my way of becoming the World Champ can just sit down right now because I am about to steamroll your asses back to the pits of pity and depression. I am here to take some names, kick some ass and win the most coveted match in WCF history and then the Holy Grail of Professional Wrestling… The WCF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
The fans are now chanting STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!!
Joe is smiling from ear to ear. He yells out loud.
Stj: Now do I sound crazy?!?!? To some maybe but I know whom I have believed in and am persuaded that he is able to guard me and keep me to the day that I attain the Holy Grail.
Joe goes on to say more as the fans cheer louder and louder.
Stj: Now WAR… Perfect that the title of this match and pay per view is WAR because we have been on a collision course of some big WARS here in WCF most of which fringe on the edge of faith and are known to many as Holy Wars. There certainly is a Faith fighting a fear here. I even feel the struggle within myself but I can guarantee that as long as I am left breathing, I will not give up and I will never quit fighting this fight. You can kick me as many times as you want. You can take the bullet to my head but like I told Tommy Kain, you better make sure to put me down because if there is air left in my lungs I am going to keep moving forward. If I win this war by being the unstoppable force that everybody knows I am then so be it. If I win this war by simply outlasting and outliving, then to the survivors goes the spoil right? I wont complain but mark my words this day, that Steeltoe Joe will become the WCF World Heavyweight Champion and there is nothing an unholy Church, a ruthless bastard, a misguided idiot and dumb sheep can do to stop that! Get it? Got it? Good!
The fans cant stop cheering for their WCF hero. The arena is erupting in the sounds of the claps and the applause that Joe is receiving. Joe just take sit all in and keep going on and on.
Stj: WAR, you know the great Voltaire once said, “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” See what I will be doing to the competition at WAR and in the WAR match will seem like an army of thousands destroying an army of hundreds and there will be many people who fall at my hands. Numerous souls will parish in this match and it will be to the trumpet sound of my heart which guides me through the hell. I will dominate and I will decimate every other competitor and I, I alone will stand the victor on Sunday. See, Voltaire, if my history is correct fought a really big fight his whole life. He was a brilliant, wise and unforgettable man who taught the truth in a world of Catholic lies. He stood alone on a mission. He stood alone as a man, and he stood alone as a martyr. I too will stand alone in this match. I have brothers in this match as well but we will all stand alone. I too stand for a mission and I too will stand as a martyr.
The fans go nuts.
Stj: I see a prophecy in the future. In the match at WAR I see many souls will parish. I see that many people who thought they had no strength will see they have might. I see that many who thought they had might find that they have no strength. I see that careers will end, friendships will be tested. I see that most will be BAPTIZED from above. I see that all will SEE THE LIGHT and I see only one man standing in the middle of this ring with his arm raised in victory and that man will be none other than me! Steeltoe Joe!!!
The fans in the arena are going haywire as Joe drops the mic and rolls out of the ring. He heads up the ramp but on his way he stops to play to the crowd and slap some hands. He hugs some fans and then he grabs a mock WCF World Title belt that one fan has and he holds it up high and points to it and then points to himself. You can tell that Joe is confident and that Joe wants to win. He hands the fake belt back to the fan and then walks backstage. The fans are still out in the arena long after chanting:
STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!! STJ!!!
Yup, STJ all the mother fucking way!!!
