Failure is such a bitter taste that none of us like but we've all tasted it at some point in our life and there was plenty after the West Coast Rumble went off the air that was tasting that failure as they cleaned out their locker for the night and got ready to pack it up to go home. Some would carry that failure on them and take it home for it to simmer some more when they're at home late at night alone with their thoughts, some would try to use it to better themselves and motivate themselves that they will never let that moment happen again. Some will stupidly act like it never happened and that it was just a bad nightmare they woke up from and not learn a thing about it and repeat the same mistake that brought that failure to their front door.
But me though? I accept the facts of what happened to me and many others that got thrown over the top rope and honestly if your name isn't Peter Vaughan, you have no high horse to sit on as we move forward in the WGWF. You see I walked away from that match with a smile on my face because I got to see a true friend have his moment in the ring as someone worthy to hold the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship. It was a feel-good moment for the CCPE members in the back… well almost everyone.
You see while I was happy for Peter I couldn't help but have this thought in the back of my head that something was off about CCPE even more lately and no it wasn't just assholes like Mac Bane that were starting to get even more of my furious attention, but I can tell that there are snakes moving around in the shadows as comrades. They pretend to be part of the family but in reality, they are treacherous as a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This thought has stayed with me for a while now and every time I speak up on Twitter or to others about the situation I'm labeled as someone that's crazy and only looking to cause trouble within the organization. Anything I say gets scoffed at and is nothing more than me hating on others who have more success than I do in the industry but all that's about to change going forward because I'm not going to shut up and let this feeling of distrust disappear and be forgotten. Instead, I'm going to do something that will help get me the proof I need to expose the ones with hidden agendas, I'm going to expose the truth to everyone with help from a private eye.
It wasn't easy getting Charles on board with my plan since he wanted me to spend this extra time and energy on preparing for the Intercontinental Championship tournament as I face Buster Gloves in the first round who has had some success against other members of CCPE but I convinced him that I was dialed in for that match and that it is my top priority right now and that I could even be more focused if I had someone else that could handle the investigation into CCPE. So after some convincing Charles and I decided to hire someone out of the Los Angeles California area since they usually handle a lot of private eye investigations like this on a daily basis and Charles knows someone in the business that can help me out with my mission to prove that someone in CCPE can not be trusted.
We ended up at a place called HI better known as Holmes investigations in downtown LA, after fighting traffic and finding a place to park my black pickup truck. We head inside the medium size office that shares the plaza with several businesses. Once inside we get greeted by this thick attractive blonde named Lowry who greets us with a pretty smile and then offers us a cup of tea but I decline but of course that British bastard Charles couldn't help himself to take a cup as we wait in the waiting room for the investigator. I on the other hand take this moment to think to myself as I think on strategy for my upcoming match against Buster Gloves.
Buster has been shouting for months to anyone that gave a damn to listen to him that he wants to beat everyone in CCPE to prove some type of point that I truly don't care about finding out but what I do care to notice is how he ducked half of CCPE in the West Coast and then makes up a cowardly excuse about not wanting to take a shot at the World Championship yet… Like let's be real, that's a loser mentality. What true competitor that wants to prove themselves to be among the best would duck a match with the best of the best in it? Nobody that truly wants to prove himself and doesn't shy away from competition but I guess if you are Buster Gloves and you find yourself on your back more times than a las vegas hooker each time you come across top talents like Peter, Sonya or Mark, you probably would only welcome opponents like Punisher instead.
Charles taps me on the shoulder to let me know it's almost our time to be seen by the private eye investigator. I give him a nod and continue to lean back in the chair as I try to figure out if Buster Gloves is what he claims or what I've come to see since knowing of him. Before he turned down a chance to face everyone on his list in the West Coast Rumble I thought Buster was just someone trying to make a name for himself off someone else wave. I mean it's fair to say that CCPE has been running the wrestling scene for a strong year now and that wave just continues to tower over and Buster wants to surf close enough to get noticed but not close enough that he gets wiped out. When I think about how he was in Level Up when I was just there for a hot minute he still wasn't someone that you would say is a final boss… Buster was more of somebody that worked for the final boss that handled all the small tasks and then got out of the way as the competition rose and man does that have a good track record of following Buster around these days.
I laugh to myself thinking about it but then I get greeted by a British gentleman that introduces himself as Private Eye investigator Sherlock Holmes and yes I was caught off guard by the name and made me think of the fellow from across the seas they told stories about in books and movies but Charles gave me a look that basically told me to not even think about repeating what I was thinking in my head. I laugh at him as I give a nod to show him I understand and then the private eye escorts us down a long hall with a stylish red velvet carpet on the floor and generic office paintings on the wall. We finally come to his office door and walk inside to his medium size office and the first thing I notice is a large British flag hanging from above over his brown oak wood desk.
I shake my head at Charles as I put two and two together, that he just doesn't know this guy but they have to be good friends from their days in the UK sandbox or something but anyways we take a seat in the two chairs placed in front of his desk while Sherlock takes a seat at his next and then the conversation begins.
Sherlock Holmes: Sorry for the wait lads, hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
I sit up straight in my chair and make an annoyed facial expression.
Bam: Yeah I stayed in that lobby more than like so let's get down to the details and skip over all the bull shit.
Charles looks at me with a disapproving look and I just roll my eyes at hima s I shrug my shoulders.
Charles: Excuse the lad, he's just got a lot on his plate right now with his wrestling career and that's why I reached out to a fellow friend to help him out with the issue he's facing within the organization that represents him.
Sherlock nods his head in understanding and then pulls out a file and places it on his desk.
Sherlock: Yes I understand and I have a little information on the organization known as CCPE but Mr. Miller would you like to suggest some names for me to look into?
Charles: Actually I already have some pictures to match the names of some of the people Bam strongly believes are involved in this conspiracy theory of his.
Charles passes three pictures over to Sherlock and they are revealed to be Sebastian Ever Bryce, Thaddeus Duke, and Mac Bane. Sherlock puts on his glasses and looks at each picture closely and then looks back up toward us.
Sherlock: All these gentlemen are pro wrestlers, correct and original members of CCPE?
I nod my head with a scowled look on my face as I look at each picture closely with hate in my eyes for them as I think about the betrayal one of them has caused.
Bam: Yeah that's right and don't forget to mention you can't trust a word those bastards say, so you’ll have to be careful with your approach with them because they will try to throw you off their trail!
Sherlock chuckles out loud and it sends my blood boiling as I feel like it's directed at me and I slam my fist on his desk but Charles gets up to confront me about it.
Charles: CALM DOWN DAMN IT!
Charles and I exchange some words with each other before Sherlock clears his throat to get our attention back on him.
Sherlock: Lads please take a seat back, I didn't mean to cause an issue among friends. I simply chuckled at the thought that these gentlemen could outsmart me or that I would do a simple investigation into them, I'm going to use many tactics that will get you the truth Mr. Miller and maybe bring you some peace afterward.
I laugh at the statement as I get up and pace a little while still laughing and Sherlock looks over at Charles with a concerned look.
Sherlock: Is he ok?
Charles: Honestly I'm not sure, he's been a little unhinged with this whole don't trust certain people in CCPE.
As they continue to talk I can continue to laugh until I return back to his desk.
Bam: Of Course, I'm not alright, we've got people in CCPE being dishonest and treacherous in the shadows and you think I only want peace of mind when I find out the culprit?!
I laugh again with a rage added to it and then look Sherlock in the eye.
Bam: Once you bring me a name I'm going to challenge the individual to a deathmatch so I can personally inflict unimaginable pain on the rat bastard that had the balls to cross us and then deliver his head on a platter to Chris Page and only then will I be able to sit back under the sunset and smoke a cigar after I've brought balance back to CCPE!
Sherlock looks over to Charles a little uneasy but Charles gives him a reassuring gesture as I reach into my black leather jacket and pull out one more picture to add to the list and place it in front of Sherlock and Charles looks thrown off by me when he looks over to see who it is.
Sherlock: He's got a shiny head like Mr.Clean but who is he?
Charles: That's his opponent on this upcoming Brawl… That's Buster Gloves but why him lad?
I smirk as I look at them both.
Bam: You see the more I thought about my two issues that I have with Buster and the potential snake in CCPE the more I thought that these issues might be one in the same. I kept wondering what it was that got Buster and CCPE to cross paths, to begin with, and then it hit me that this bald bastard is nothing more than a scorned fan.
Sherlock and Charles both sit up straight and lead in more as I gain their interest.
Bam: He's someone that wanted to join CCPE and admires what we were becoming. He wanted to be part of the most dominating entity in pro wrestling but just like the nerd at the basketball court, Buster didn't make the final cut to be CCPE because Chris Page rejected him for not being able to measure up to our standards.
Charles picks up his white tea cup and takes a sip of tea while I take a moment to pause and pick up Buster's photo.
Bam: So like the scorned bitter loser he is, he decides instead of taking the criticism of advice we gave him to improve himself. He decided to become an obsessed rejected fan girl that wants to take CCPE down and even became so desperate to gain our attention that he made a bullshit deal with James Raven involving his so-called hit list of certain competitors in CCPE
would have no choice but to deal with him in the WGWF.
I never once gave a damn about Buster Gloves until I saw us booked for Brawl in a one-on-one match to determine who moves on in the intercontinental tournament but because of that I had to put a lot of focus into him and this is why I know that a coward we rejected would know he couldn't take us down alone, I have a strong gut feeling that Buster and the snake are working together.
I slam his picture back down on the desk with fury as Charles and Sherlock look back and forth at each other,then back in my direction.
Sherlock: That's one hell of a theory lad, how do you plan to prove such a thing?
I smirk at Sherlock as I tap my fingers on the desk.
Bam: See when we face off across each other on Brawl Monday I'm going to be extra motivated to beat him within an inch of his life to not only remove him out of my path as I chase down the Intercontinental Championship after being screwed out of the Television Championship after a soft referee decided I was too vicious to his little friend Emily Simms and I hope he watched that match and saw how bad I was dominating her and had full control before my disqualification because that beat down is his future but this time I will have enough restraint and focus to finish the job and get the win and then when I'm done with Buster I'm going to drag him to the middle of the ring and ask him who the snake is and he will give me an answer or ill make sure that he wished he was in a snake shop with Lexi Gold!
So Sherlock just do your job and find me something to tie him and the snake together and I'll handle the rest.
Charles: But sir I think you might be underestimating Buster, he does have a victory over Chris Page recently in the XWF.
I laugh at that statement by Charles and then have my head as I have a little.
Bam: Yeah every dog has their day but lighting doesn't strike twice in the same spot and I doubt that Buster could beat Page in a real match when skill is needed instead of some goofy holiday match where you can win off pure luck! Buster is nothing more than a poser who's pretending to be a tough guy but in reality, he’s a cheap imitation of me because Buster likes to talk the talk that he'll fight anyone just like I say but the difference is I'll actually step up to anyone including a James Raven like I have before in XWF or test myself against the best WGWF has to offer in the West Coast Rumble while Buster shies away from it and just like on Twitter he begs to Denzel and Lexi to get out of his match.
He's an attention seeker that only likes the spotlight when it's easy to obtain but when it's time to earn it, he quivers in the corner hoping nobody notice but come Monday Night Brawl he's going to have no choice but to buckle up for Miller Time because the Ass Kicking Tour is on its way and next stop is my foot up his ass!
I leave the picture of Buster and the others on his desk and give Sherlock a nod as Charles gets up and shakes his hand as I head for the exit and the scene fades out.
