-No inner monologue.
-No telling you how I am mentally.
- I just got done wrestling and I’m not in the mood to think. To much going on up there.
-Walking into a locker room, I collapse onto a steel chair and breath in deeply as I stare at the camera across the room from me. Olivia Newman walks behind and shows off my titles that hang on her shoulders. She stays quit and watches as I do my best to control my breathing. My sweat soaked athletic tape tears off easily as I begin the promo .
Jack Tillman: “Tonight......tonight I just finished off a week long Tag Team Tournament over here in Japan. Over 20 teams participated in this tournament for Kamikaze Pro. The best of the best showed up to participate in this tournament to see who the best tag team is in the wrestling industry today. Veterans showed up. Rookies showed up. Wrestlers from all over the world were part of it. And out of those twenty something teams......myself and my good friend Devin Hearst faced off against Owen Gonsalves and Ace Watson in the finals.
And just a few minutes ago, the two of us just got done beat the living crap out of one another. Owen and Ace won...... and I couldn’t be happier for them because those two are some of the best in the industry today. I’m even happier to be done because tonights the last night of this week long tournament where I literally wrestled each day for the entire week. A week in Japan. Then during the tour I flew over to Mexico to wrestle in ACM. Immediately after the match I flew back to Japan to continue the tournament. Then while the one day I had off during the tournament to recover and relax for the semi finals, I instead flew from Japan to Texas to wrestle in a match for Gulf Coast Wrestling. And as soon as that ref slapped his hand for the three count, I was back on the plane to fly back to Japan where the next day......I wrestled three Tag Team matches in one night to make it to the finals which was today.
Mentally I’m tired. My body is sore. I have bruises on top of bruises and my whole body aches and at this very moment the only thing I want to do is sleep for an entire week in a bathtub filled with ice so that I can recover. But i can’t. I can’t because I get to fly back to the states. Over 13 Hours on a plane from Japan to Chicago where I’ll be crushed in a small seat filled with people who don’t know what the definition of deodorant is and people with battling colds.
I’ll only have a few days to rest before I have to start wrestling during the weekend. First for Gulf Coast Wrestling on Saturday for a three way for their Legacy Title. Then next day NGW where I get to face off against that lovable loser Johnny Maverick. Then I some how I have to make it to Mexico for GOL to participate in the first ever Lucha World Cup.
It’s nice to be wanted.
-I can’t help but grin as I take a near grab a towel from my gym bag and place it over my head.
Jack Tillman: “What’s laughable about my weekend schedule is my match with NGW this Sunday. The stipulation being that if Johnny beats me, he gets a shot at Kayla Richards for the NGW Title.
Why? Why is Maverick being given another shot at the title? He tried. Multiple times if I’m not mistaken. And he failed. And now it’s time for him to move on and let someone else get their shot at the title. But NGW will give him another opportunity because they want to make Johnny feel happy. They want to pat him on the head and give him yet another opportunity at the title because he cried on twitter and threaten to leave wrestling because he wasn’t going to be relevant any more after the Warfare match. Face it Johnny. NGW felt sad for you and this is some type of putty fuck for you because of your time in being such a great company guy!”
-Wiping the sweat from the head, I toss the towel back into my gym bag before motioning the camera to zoom in closer to me.
Jack Tillman: “Listen and listen well Maverick! The reason why I travel the world and wrestle for all these different organizations is because I want to get better. I want to learn. I want to face off against the best. NGW offers competition but when shows are every two weeks, there’s a lot of down time and for people like me.....there is no rest for the wicked. So if you’re going to be in this whole mood of “I want to retire!........”
I slowly lean towards the camera and try my best to keep my tone calm and collective as I burn a hole through the camera lens.
Jack Tillman: “......Then don’t show up to our match Johnny because if you’re not going to give me your best......and your going to hold back because of some feel pity for me bullshit.....then you’re wasting my time and Johnny..... I don’t like wasting my time on sad little men like you.”
-I break the tension as I lean back in the steel chair as I holdout my hands and calmly address he camera.
Jack Tillman: “So what do I need to do to you Johnny to get you out of your little funk huh? Do I need to tell you that you’re a loser? Do I need to threaten you with abducting your student Jew Blazer and beat the living shit out of him? Or do I just need to find you and smash your skull in with a steel chair to get your attention. I can play this any way that you want Johnny. You just tell me how this is going to play out because on December 24th in Orlando, Florida Johnny......I’m getting paid to kick your ass one way or another. “
-That’s good enough for a promo. Shower. Get dressed. Then get out to make my flight back to the states. Slowly getting up I walk off from the cameras view. Olivia slowly follows with my titles still on her shoulder.
End Scene
