Odin Balfore
Vs
Leon Hayes
--------------------------------------------
PART ONE: NO ONE REMEMBERS
Fade into a small catholic church. Its old, having been built in the late 1800s. The white wash on the wooden panels have chipped and faded from years of weather abuse. The grounds around the building are unkempt with overgrown weeds, tree stumps and the wailing of forgotten soldiers dying on the battlefield on which it was built. Sweeping inside, the building is dark, having no electricity. The stain glass is broken, the roof is punched with holes and the floors are warped and damaged. In all this there is one lone confessional. Turning back towards the large wooden doors of the church Odin Balfore walks through the threshold, stands proudly and surveys its.
ODIN
Leon Hayes, considering where we are, I am sure that you can forgive and understand when I tell you that there is no one that is interested in you. I mean, look around at your quote, one proud legacy, end quote. Forget the Church, right, remember the initial; right? No one remembers and no one cares. Remember that. No one remembers and no one cares. This week I get to mop up the bleeding putrid residue of the Church as all members involved try and move on from what they all wish would just stay a undead nightmare. It is one that continues and persists like a cough or a cold that followed you into the main event against Teo Del Sol. It did not serve you well nor will it serve you here - here in the house that Singh built, that you helped build and get no credit yet cannot escape its sorrowful inequity.
Odin starts to clap with sad pity for Leon Hayes.
ODIN
So that leads you to here where everyone thinks that they can jump start their career against me, after all it worked for Alex Richards and Noble Savage and shes a WAR winner AND world champion. I could also point you to a host of wrestlers, countless by their measure who thought the same thing, the same as you and failed and fell off into the pantheon of forgotten WCF wrestlers. By my count we’re at 1730 in WCF alone. Remember, out of all those thousands of people, I am number one. All the years that I have spent digging my fingers to the bone for this company and you want to walk in thinking you’re the second coming of Teo Del Sol, minimal effort, minimal work, come and go as you please, heres a belt, fuck off, come back, heres another belt. Hell, you couldnt even do that right last week. So as I stand here in the ruined hollowed out legacy that you tried to forge for yourself, I’m at a loss for words, if only because you are at a loss for a legacy. Must have been hard, sitting in some eighteen dollar mens haircut, hit me with that zero fade, kinda bullshit that all the plebs like you get in their life. I get it though, you want to stay humble. You want to stay and stick to your roots.
Odin motions with his hands as the camera pans around Leons illustrious ‘roots.’
ODIN
What happened to your five championships; held by better talent no doubt. Former TV Champion, currently held by Teo Del Sol. Better Champion, no doubt. God, I’m going to have to drink a half gallon of holy water for having put over Teo in that sentence but that by the ill grace of those elder Gods that spoke to you, here we both are. However, there is an elder God that speaks to you now, the All Father. I am here to speak to you now and welcome you back to the world of shit that you left. You should have stayed gone, friend. You should have let the world eat itsself less you come came back to be eaten. Furthermore, to tell you the truth, I’m rather apathetic to your goals or desires for fame, glory or vengeance. To me, it is a moot point if you’re a good guy or a bad guy. I already got a couple of ‘bad hombres’ trying desperately to prove that fact to themselves, let alone the world - most of all to me.
Odin coughs into his fist.
ODIN
Seldom does that work out for them or you or anyone. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been attacked after, before and during a match so some hobo schemer with a the winning one dollar scratch off can have his ten seconds of fame - Johnny Rabids career in a nut shell. How about you, Leon. Return, get a title match, lose, fight the biggest name in this companies history, trying to scratch your name into a diamond with a dime store tooth pick, that's all that is. Truth be told, the best outcome for you this week is that you lose this match because if you win this match, you join maybe, 90 others who beaten me. I might be able to name ten of those 90. I might be able to tell you ten out of the 40 that have beaten me here in WCF. Corey Black and Jay Price are two of those 40. It is not a big list but I’m sure its illustrious. I bet WCF hands out plaques the same way Youtube hands out golden ‘play buttons.’ The point, Leon, is that there is no upside in fighting me. All you get is a feather in your cap and a google, youtube, ask jeeves play button and it just gets less special. In a world where I have lost to Adam Young and Alex Richards, am I the scumbag loser or they all the losers? Don’t stress yourself, Leon, its hypothetical. Alex Richards, my Tag League partner is still a loser because he contributed nothing to a faction that he created. Just like you.
The camera pans around again to emphasize the point.
ODIN
Yah, just like you. You know, all talk of Teo, Alex, you - makes me feel dirty. I might need to confess these sins because speaking about any of you at length is a sin against the natural order of pro wrestling. Here I am in the ran down ruins of the church, the monument to your failures in the overgrown cobwebs that is your career among the wailing screams of your forgettable battles. Now I need to walk into that confessional and confess to all the ways I’m going to beat that ass that a Saigon whore in the Russian Gulag. With all the fakes, the phonies, the wanabe bad guys with cricket bats and blue balls, I gotta sift the shit from the shit salad and you, my ‘purple’ friend, might just be the creme. The golden, glorious return of the Purple People Eater, Leon Hay -
Odin stops mid sentence with anguish in his face and voice.
ODIN
Enough, enough, enough. Hank, tell me when the game gets old and boring because it already is for me. I have already had enough of the Leon Hayze return parade. And don’t get this twisted, Hank, I’m not the bad guy in this. I’m not even the good guy in this, I’m just THEE guy in all this and you’re just Leon Hayze, a man who runs and hides and thinks that a six month vacation fixes things. So tell me, Hank, what did it fix? You’re still the forgotten less talented third wheel of a second rate stable, lead by not one but two second rate world champions, losing glorious return matches for TV Championships to *sigh* This just isnt your day. This just isnt your return. May I interest you in a time share in the Bahamas to retire too with your five crumby championship reigns that no one remember but you but like I said, no one. Monday night, Leon, I’m going to make sure that return is short lived and that you’re right back down in that lower midcard where you belong, losing to Teddy Blaze every week for the rest of your life. Everyone forgets you in your bid to make yourself famous but no one forgets me nor have I forgotten myself. I have one of the best big boots in this business. My over the shoulder back break actually breaks backs. My running powerslam shortens careers. Its the damage that I do. Its what I am in this business and you are nothing in this business. I want you to remember that. I want you to repeat that to yourself as you prepare for the biggest match of your life, some weekly live show in 2019 that I’ll have moved on from in my quest to be the best ever in not only WCF but in the world. You just have a quest to wake up, collect a paycheck, go on the road, check into a hotel, get some sleep and rinse repeat. That's not a life. All this around me right now is proof positive to that. You’ve had a chance in WCF to make a life for yourself but you couldnt manage that and it would be a shame if’n that it could be a shame. However, you’re just shameful. I’m going to brutalize you this week for every little shit stick that thinks they can jump me or make a name off me. My name it etched into the stars and Monday night I’m going to make you say my name.
Odin walks off into the confessional as the camera transitions from the main chamber to in the interior of the confessional. Odin leans back, trying to get his large Asgardian frame comfortable in the confined space.
PRIEST
Yes, my son, what troubles bring you here to today?
ODIN
I come here today with a lot on my mind, I have been placed in a challenging position both emotionally and spiritually and in these once holy grounds, ravaged by the salt of men, somewhere i might find some confidence. Aside from these punks who are trying to my name to boost their own, I find myself entangled with a young woman who is also the world champion, MY world championship. I feel as though I should help this woman from the dangers that encircle her life, dangers that I feel she is not aware of. I do not mean that to be pigish, as if she is in need of my help, rather, I feel compelled to help her the best that I can. I am conflicted because she has something that is mine, something that I have been chasing longer than shes been in my profession and generally nearly as long as she has been alive.
PRIEST
Life often calls us to strange places in strange times. The Lord puts us in situations to challenge us and test our character. Perhaps this is a test of your character. In times like this, it is best that you reflect on what matters most to you and follow your heart. Following your heart and trusting in the Lord will always lead you to where you’re supposed to be in life. Are you well thought of your in profession; are you worried that your choices will affect your work?
ODIN
Tumultuous at best, I suppose. I’m revered, respected yet people always want to knock me out of the business. I’m hunted to be put away yet after all these years, no one has done so. As far as my choices, I’m not sure if my career would be affected.However, I have a career that cant really be damaged by things like that.
PRIEST
So then your worries are personal. Do you have feelings for this girl?
ODIN
This girl is just that; she is just a girl. She is half my age at best. I see her life and see that her strings are being pulled by unseen forces. For some reason, I feel responsible and I want to make sure that this business does not swallow her. To top it all off I’m teaming with a man that I don’t for the sake of the tag team division, which I always have been fond of. Do you think I should ask the girl to be my partner
PRIEST
Noble Sav- uh, *ahem* I mean, no. No, you shouldnt push that issue to hard, less you push the young girl away. I believe that you are conflicted with your ego and personal self, issues that you must resolve. You must stay humble and remember that you are not the center of attention. You should come to terms with your own inadequacy. The Lord put you where you are for a reason, it is up to you what you do with it. Tell me,do you have any goals that you have not yet manifested?
ODIN
I had two secret goals in WCF, one has been completed and Adam Young had gotten a pay day and the other has yet to happen.
PRIEST
What is that goal, my son?
ODIN
I cannot say; then it won’t be secret.
PRIEST
Your arrogance will lead to much trouble. You should look to the Lord for guidance, you have much to reflect on. You should say ten Our Fathers to help clear your mind. Now, go and do the Lords work.
We see Odin step out of the confession and walk towards the church doors. The priest exits his side of the booth, revealing himself to be Lady Abernathy in disguise. She smiles a twisted smile, feeling accomplished in her misdeeds. The doors close behind Odin and Lady vanishes from the little run down church built by men that time forgot.
PART TWO: DAMN SHAME
Leon, I know that you think that we have some storied history from your past where you think you influenced some whacky bullshit but since then I have been making history while you have just been history. You’re nothing but a wrinkle out of time, trying to claw your way back into that miserable little notch you call a wcf career. So I just want to pump the brakes on whatever you think this comeback is going to be. Rather we’ll just call it what iit is; A GOING BACK. This is a going back into hiding, tour. This is where Leon Hayze gets bamboozled by all those people who told him that:
‘ yah, those wrestling boots look good on you. Damn, Hank, you look good in spandex. Wow Hank, nice job on that collar and elbow tie up.’ You know, anyone with a pulse that told you that you had sound fundamentals. So spare me the training regiment you may or may not have gone through with some tri-state ham and egger that once claimed to make it big when he sold out JFK highschool. That's the thing, everyone wants to be a prodigy - we both know that you aint. Hell, I know that I aint but what I am is a man whose spent a life time in that ring getting superbly excellent at a thing you’ll never be good at. I mean, you’re a stoner by trade and like 40. Fuckin hell is that rough. And not to mention it looks like your face got chewed on by a dogs ass or something.
God that's ruff.
Heh. puns. I’m clever. Not as clever as I am in that ring when I’m gasing low lifes like you out with your shitty lung capacity. You wouldnt last two minutes in the ring with me before you’re suckin wind just as hard as you been suckin dicks and doobies in the van down by the river. See, Hank, I’m at a place right now where my hide means more than the wcf championship itsself. That's the first time in WCF history that, that's happened. Ask around, that's why you’re in this match and that's what beating me would mean. Hell, if you’re Alex Richards, it gets you a main event title match at ONE and if you’re me, you get to drag him through a series of tag matches. The fucking albatros. Now I have two.
Thanks Obama.
I take pride in hurting guys like you and man have I seen a lot of guys like you. These third rate fuccbois who wrestle because they cant hold down regular jobs in life. These tortured souls that love punishment. Throw all the cliches at me, Hank because I heard them all and I have defeated them all too. I’m going to defeat you. I’m going to bring you back to the time when guys would tremble when my music hit.Guys would gasp and clutch at their chest just by being in my aura. I was powerful, I was magnetic, I was electrifying. Hell, I still am. Leon, Hank, my friend, I’m going to hit you with my mark, pin you and forget about you. I’m throwing you in the trash this week and pushing forward to my goals and my prize. Ragnarok is coming for you, Hank. Then you will be trapped in my shadow, still trying to name for yourself, just writing your name in the dark.
Because the sun has set on your career.
Damn shame.
Damn shame, indeed.
