“Run away...”
“Do it...”
“Run run run for your life...”
“Like you have week in and week out....”
“But no more....”
“No more running...”
“No more hiding”
“No more gang style tactics....”
“No more commentary...”
“This Sunday.....”
“You become a man....”
“Toddy....”
A small smile comes across my face.
“The countdown is on Todd, no more running. No more hiding. This weekend all this **** comes to a head. For weeks Todd, you have taken your balls put them neatly into a pink bow tied box and stuffed them into Crystals handbag. By the way Todd, how’s your wife?. Have you apologised yet for putting her into a position that caused her harm?. Some people believe I should hjave apologised for what happened to Crystal but in my mind the only person who should be to blame for this is you.....”
“You faked an injury, you sat at the commentary desk and watched as she got run over and hurt. Just another situation that shows you care for one person, yourself. And for weeks you had a chance to shut me up Todd, you had a chance to prove everything you’ve said. You had a chance tio prove that I am just a nobody, but instead you chose to fake an injury and hide behind Matt Jackson. I took Matt out so you couldn’t hide.....”
“And your little injury Todd?. You won’t have to worry my friend, because I’m going to do what you should have done with Crystal, I’m gonna make an honest man out of you, and break your damn leg off. Then you can go home and bitch and whine about being injured all you want and you can avoid getting your ass kicked by better wrestlers legally....”
I smirk and shake my head.
“And make no mistake Todd. I am a better wrestler than you. And that is what this whole thing is about isn’t it?. I overshadowed you in Flashbang, when we took on a fake version of the young guns and I beat them into the ground. Trent Helms was off crying about the hall of fame, Xander was too busy thinking about his own career while you were off somewhere eating chicken and waffles or watermelon or whatever it is you eat.......”
“And then came the moment you thought you’d be able to get out of my shadow. You won the world title. But what happened Todd?. Where’d the motivation go?. Where did the awesome Todd Williams disappear off to?. Now we have this arrogant jackass who hides from challenges instead of faces them head on. I’ve never been world champion Todd, I’ve never been to the top of the mountain, but because I’ve never been to the top, I’ve also never fell down like yourself. But here’s the thing buddy, the on who doesn’t fall doesn’t stand up.....”
“And that is what I want from you Todd. I want you to stand up and face me like a man, I want Todd Williams not Theodore Coyote, I want the guy who won the riot, the guy who became world champion, the guy who had his friends back instead of sticking a knife in, the guy who loved his wife instead of talking crap about her and getting her in harms way......”
I sigh and shake my head.
“Is she ok?....”
Silence.
“C’mon Shell..is she?....”
Shelly turns her head looking at me, a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes.
“Do you really care?...”
The question hurts me, it cuts me deep as I turn away.
“You think I wanted that Shelly?”
She folds her arms.
“Do you?.”
She sighs and lets her guard down.
“No I guess not.”
I nod and shake my head.
“It was Todd, he did this, I would never hurt Crystal or any woman, Todd set this up to try and get in my head and take me out last week.....he’s scared and he isn’t above using his own wife and her health to get what he wants.....”
Shelly nods as if she understand I smile and hold her.
“I’m just worried, I re-watched the match..some of the things Todd said while he was on commentary.....”
I sigh and kiss her forehead.
“I know. I understand what you mean, Todd has changed..he’s become bitter, angry, jealous. He wants to act a fool, that’s fine Shell....I’ll beat the old Todd back into existence...or destroy the new one trying.....”
She holds me tight I know she’s worried......she doesn’t need to be....
“I’m not a stranger to this Todd....”
I look away and sigh.
“I know how the world works. In professional wrestling you have very few friends, and even less life long ones, the temptation is there, the jealousy. And make no mistake Todd this is Jealousy. You were a flash in the pan, you came from nothing, became a champion and have quickly faded back into obscurity. I may never have been champion but I have stayed a major star and my name is always on the lips of fans. My name is always spoken about in championship circles. I’ve held titles and made those titles my own, I made my name with those belts. People talk of the X-Division they think about me, they talk about the national belt and they think about me crushing Jacobsen and the young guns. I am one of the best wrestlers in the world, one of the biggest names to never hold the world title, and I proved time and time again just how good I am, hell I even beat you while you were world champion. This is simple Todd, you attacked me, you called into question who I am and what I’m about, you want to forget our friendship and be this arrogant moron?. Fine, but just remember, the ass whoopin you’re about to take...it’s all on you Todd.....”
“Do it...”
“Run run run for your life...”
