Audio Diary Entry #11: June 13th, 2010
I always knew that the FBI wouldn’t hold the end of our bargain.
They always believed that they were doing me a favor, and in a sense they were right. They never saw the big picture, though. The chaos I caused in my younger days, they could have ended it forever. Not only that, but I was I willing to help them put the Ridder’s out of business. All I wanted was a second chance.
Today, I am packing my things and leaving this godforsaken house in the middle of nowhere. I’m four years removed from everything I love, and now it’s time to make up for lost time. The FBI called after Agent Gregory reported my intentions and warned me that fleeing witness protection was not only a crime, but a decision that could cost me my life. They’ve vowed to stop me. Right now there is a car parked down the street waiting to intercept me if I try to leave.
This is why their investigations have never held up against me. Everyone knows exactly what they will do in certain situations. It’s really not that much different than how it’s portrayed in movies. The FBI works within set parameters and guidelines. They have a playbook that tells them how to operate, and everyone knows what’s in it. Of course there are agents here, like they have nothing better to do. There are probably several other cars waiting at exit points of this neighborhood.
I’m leaving nonetheless. I’ve always been one step ahead of the FBI, and four years caged as a rat hasn’t softened me up in the least. When you grow up on the streets you become a little paranoid about everything, especially the authorities. There’s always been an escape plan. There’s always been a way out, and those fuckin’ idiots aren’t smart enough to figure it out.
I’m sure I’ll be seeing everyone soon enough.
[Narrator]
On July 14th, 2010 Jonny Fly was reported as missing by the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI had learned of Fly’s intent to flee protective custody and sent agents to monitor the house he was in. After 24 hours of monitoring the FBI sent in two agents to check on Fly, only to find that he was missing. The FBI immediately vacated the area and began a manhunt.
On July 15th, 2010, Jonny Fly walked out of the front door of his house. Dirty and grimy from two days hidden in a self-made shelter underneath the floor boards of his kitchen, Fly walked to the closest bus station and paid cash for a trip to the city he grew up in, the city he became famous in, his home, New York City. Upon arriving in the City, Fly immediately went to the self-titled ‘Jonny Fly Mansion,’ his residence during the duration of his previous career.
Fly’s mansion is a house that has been well televised. Jonny turned his basement into a nearly full size wrestling venue, with the ability to hold 7,500 fans and used it as an occasional site for TNT weekly shows. Of course, the house’s more relevant claim to fame is as a centerpiece of an FBI investigation into terrorist activities. During the height of the Jonny Fly – Ridder Family saga Fly began storing guns at the mansion in some of his darkest and most paranoid days. The FBI traced the shipments to Fly’s mansion, raided the mansion, and took all of the supplies.
Fly returns to the mansion for the first time in four years. The mansion is a far cry from what it used to be. The 25,000 square foot house/wrestling facility was once a gleaming white brick masterpiece complete with marble columns lining the front entrance, picturesque landscaping, and circular front driveway with a crystal clear water fountain in the center. Water no longer flows in the fountain, and the stagnant water left has turned green with an overgrowth of algae. The landscaping can no longer be defined as such. Through the years the shrubs and bushes have grown into each other leaving only a tangle of branches. Tightly manicured grass has given way to a field of weeds. There is no more white brick; grayish-black is now the color of the house.
The house is currently under foreclosure by the bank, but it still hasn’t sold. Fly ran out of money to pay for such largesse a long time ago. However, he still knows the way inside. A long time ago Fly built a loading dock in the back of the house for trucks delivering equipment for his shows in the basement. The key to the loading dock was different than the key for the rest of the house. Fly entered his old house looking for the one thing the FBI didn’t take when they raided this house over four years ago.
His baseball bat. THE baseball bat.
Fly has used this particular bat on many occasions, most gruesomely when he tied a former wrestler to a road, clamped his jaw to the curb, and proceeded to bash his teeth into his brain with the bat. Well, allegedly, of course. I guess the question is now..
What is he going to do with it?

[Present Day]
A casually dressed Jonny Fly is sitting in a chair in the middle of a stage. Around him are a circle of cameras and people moving busily moving around the stage he is sitting on. A man dressed in a suit walks onto the stage and takes a seat in a chair set up next to Fly. He extends his arm, which Fly grasps. The two begin talking. We hear someone yell ‘One Minute!’ and the pace of people around the stage noticeably picks up. Some make last second modifications to their cameras, some finish setting up their wiring, and some exit our screen entirely.
‘We’re live!’
These words signal the beginning of an interview. Our screen fades in and we begin to watch. The man in the suit begins to speak to the cameras set up in front of him.
Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to Wrestling Weekly, your source for the most updated news and information around the wrestling industry. I’m Tim Devine and with me today is a long-time friend of the show Jonny Fly! Welcome, Jonny..
Thank you for having me.
Jonny, you’ve reemerged was a wrestler with the Wrestling Championship Federation, you’ve already competed in two matches, how are things going over there?
Things are going well. It’s nice just to be able to wrestle these days. Before I wore a lot of hats and I really haven’t focused solely on wrestling in some six years. It always knew that I could still go out and be one of the best this industry has ever seen, but it’s nice to actually do it.
You’ve won your first two matches, your competing in your third this weekend. You know how these interviews go, what do you have in store for us at Sunday Slam?
I’m facing three other wrestlers, some guys by the name of Vic, Buzzsaw Bundy, and Switches the Clown. Also, apparently the winner of the match gets a shot at WCF’s Television Title. I could honestly care less about the provisions; I’m more focused on the ability to beat three people at the same time.
Explain that for me.
There’s still that ‘he’s the new guy’ jargon going on at WCF. I’ve been referred to everything from a rookie to an up and comer. It’s fuckin’ disrespectful, and I plan to make sure that every one of my opponents knows that. Last week D-Day and Ryan Blake both basically told the world they were going to beat me because I was the new guy. Let me tell you, that concept worked wonders for them. This is the very epicenter of ignorance in this company. I know how these things work. Everyone wants to put up a front to the ‘new guy.’ Let’s face it, there can only be one World Champion. Everyone else has to ACT like they are important, that new guys should ‘fear’ them and ‘respect’ them. It’s fuckin’ comical watching these nothing’s jockey for importance.
That’s why I relish the chance to take down three more of these guys in one match. When I entered the company I spoke about hierarchy. In an industry where men fight men, hierarchy is everything. One match at a time I am changing the hierarchy of the WCF. This match pits me against three more people I can knock down the list. Instead of having to beat these guys one-on-one over three weeks, I can skip the bullshit, beat them at the same time, and keep moving up the ladder.
Tell us a little more about your match with Ryan Blake and D-Day last week.
There isn’t really that much to tell. There’s really no polite way to say it was a waste of my time. That match could have been two against one and I would have still won in the same amount of time. I would even ask them to take me up on that challenge if their feeling prideful. These guys were stepping stones. They don’t think they are, but it’s the absolute truth. They should hope they don’t have to see me again.
Okay, well let’s talk about your match this week. What do you know about Vic, Switches, and Buzzsaw?
I know that one of them is a clown, the other a lumberjack, and the third..I don’t fucking know. I’m not sure when wrestling became such a character-driven sideshow act, but I’d like to tell these three right now, I’m no character. This isn’t an act. I’m not going to dress up and act like I do anything else but win wrestling matches. I don’t act like I’m better than people like them because it makes me seem tough, or makes me feel better about myself. I do this because it’s the truth. I do it because I have a nearly decade-long career of accomplishments that says I can back it up.
These guys need to understand that as soon as this match was announced, the powers that be put a loss on their record. This match, for all intents and purposes, has already been decided. I suppose just saying that will upset them, and I’m sure I’ll hear about just how angry it makes them before the week is up, but I don’t care. Buzzsaw can bring his chainsaw to the ring, Switches can bring his switchblade, and Vic can bring his idon’tgiveafuckwhat, and it’s not going to make a damn bit of difference. It’s already been written.
This match involves the stipulation that the winner receives a Television Title shot. How important is that to you as you begin your career with the WCF?
That’s not important at all. Look, Vic and Buzzsaw seem to have been battling over the Title lately, they both seem to want it back from whoeverthefuck is holding it, they can have it. I have bigger things on my mind. In my mind I’m in this match simply to move up the ladder.
Okay, Jonny, but I have to think it’s pretty rare for someone to be in this position in only the third match of their career; the ability to become the number one contender for any belt.
I suppose your right, Tim. It doesn’t change anything though. They might as well hand me the title now if that’s their plan. I can tell you this, if I get that belt, I may never lose it. Never. NEVER. The belt would have to become the new World Title because the pile of pathetic mid-carders in this company would never be able to get it from me. Even having to defend it is going to take away from my ultimate goals.
Tell us about these goals. Talk to us about what you see in your future with the WCF.
Right now I still don’t know anything about the organization. I couldn’t tell you who is even holding the Television Title right now. I don’t know who is in the New Confederacy, or how the hell Ryan Blake went from losing to Jonny Fly to the Main Event of Slam. I’m still figuring it all out. I’m going to keep it saying it though, I won’ be held back from my goals. These are the same goals that every wrestler has. It’s the goals I had when I started in this business at 19 years old. We all want to win World Titles, get inducted in Hall of Fames, and become International Superstars. I’ve been there. Half of these miserable fucks in WCF can’t even comprehend these things, yet, I’m telling you right now on television I will achieve them. All of them.
Let’s change the subject a little bit. There’s been some video played on WCF television regarding where you have been for the past four years. You were in witness protection?
I’m not sure what video you are referring to. I know that the news reported that my investigation had closed and that I had remerged from witness protection. I’m not really allowed to talk about it. I don’t think it’s much of a secret that my previous career was derailed by problems outside of the wrestling ring. My hope is that is all in the past now. I’ve fought hard to get back to where I am now. I never lost the passion, and I never lost the skill. I don’t want to miss out on four more years of my prime because of my extracurriculars.
It’s certainly true that we’ve missed having you on this show. It’s been a pleasure having you. I believe there is one more thing you wanted to say before we leave?
Please roll the footage.
The screen turns blank for a split second, and then returns to the image a silhouetted Jonny Fly in his first television appearance in the WCF. He speaks toward the camera.
“You will all begin to realize what I am capable of. You will realize your inferiority. Denial and ignorance will turn into something more amusing, fighting back. The old guard will begin to realize their grasp on this company has slipped, and will try to do anything to stop me.”
“I’ve just written the next several months of history for this company. Who’s going to be the first fool to say I’m wrong?
Fly turns and walks out of the scene, into blackness. The blackness cedes way back to the stage where Jonny Fly sits with Tim Devine. Fly is flashing his trademark smirk, and begins speaking again.
I’ve already seen the denial and ignorance. I’ve also realized that the old guard, well, they’re not really around anymore. Left in their wake is a group full of mid-carders who believe they pose a threat to my takeover. I think it’s time to move my timeline up. I won’t need several months to rearrange the hierarchy of WCF. I give it two months. Tops. Again, someone come show me that I’m wrong. That’s an open challenge to anyone in the WCF.
Stop me.
With that Tim Devine turns from Jonny and talks back toward the camera closing the interview. Our screen has already begun to pan out not allowing us to hear Tim’s sign off. People begin running around the stage, turning off cameras, sound feeds, and cleaning up. Fly gets up from his chair, shakes hands with Tim Devine, unclips his microphone and walks off the stage. The scene fades to black.
