The Foreword
In any sport, it's always about what have you done lately and not what you've accomplished in the past. You win a Championship and you get your celebration for a moment but only for a moment! Because once the high of winning goes down the expectations are set back in, especially after you become a Champion because now everyone wants to see if you can do it again. A wise man once said it's easier to make it to the top than it is to stay at the top and that's a test Mac and I are ready to take and pass. We knew when we became the WGWF Tag team Champions that the target on our backs would become wider and the bounty on our heads would become more rewarding but us two bastards have never been scared of a challenge or a fight for that matter so we damn sure wasn't going to pick today to start running. So when we got the call that Cable had run his mouth about Mac n me and secured him a partner in Spencer Adams to take on us in a tag match on Brawl, I couldn't help but smile at the opportunity to write some wrongs and show the world we aint no one-hit wonders. The world was going to see that WGWF Tag Team Champions were more consistent and dangerous than they thought and were going to prove it at the expense of Cable and Adams, but first, we must prepare for the hunt!
“The Hunt”
Mac and Bam had decided to train at Hell Gates Gym like these two bastards only knew how when it came to getting ready for physical big matches…. Beat the holy shit out of each other as they tried to toughen one another up in bare-knuckle fighting. They figured if they could take a beating from one another and have the balls to try to knock the other out then come their match it would be nothing for them to take it to Cable and Adams. They had always believed that only iron can sharpen iron and that those forged in the hottest fire are stronger than anything else. Our training sessions were intense and even Kat and Kim thought we would take it too far sometimes and maybe we did but that's how we wanted to do it as a team, no bullshitting around. We had a goal to be the best Tag Team that the WGWF had ever seen and we knew we wasnt going to get there by going easy on each other.
Kat and Kim watched on from the sidelines as Mac and I bloody each other up, pushing each other to our limits like we used to when we were rivals looking to out best the other. But this time around we weren't looking to break each other for our own selfish gain, this was about helping each other become the best version of ourselves so by the time Brawl came around and the bell rang we are able to count on one another to not let the other down. We continue to trade hard punches with one another until Mac gets the best of me and hits me hard across the head which sends me staggering back and then jumping to one knee and causing Kim and Kat to call it.
Kat Jones: Ok boys that's enough for you two, I think you've done enough damage today. Dont, want to make Cable and Adam's job easier for you now.
Mac and I laugh as we both drip with blood, Kim gives us both a towel to clean ourselves up, and then Mac gives me a helping hand up to my feet.
Bam Miller: Nice punch cowboy.
Mac Bane: Aye as they say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right?
Bam I nod my head at him with a laugh and then smirk for a moment before I start feeling my head get dizzy and start to stagger for a moment and then drop to one knee. Kim, Mac, and Kat rushed to check me out.
Kim Pain: I knew you two were overdoing it.
Kat Jones: He’ll be ok he just needs to ice his head and lay down a little.
Mac looks me in my eyes and starts asking if I'm ok but the voice just feels far away as I begin to lose consciousness and everything just goes dark as i fall over on the floor.
Deep in my subconscious, I wake up in what is clearly a dream but to me, it is so real as I wake up to Mac pulling me up to my feet. I look around and notice we are in a safari setting while Mac and I are dressed in hunting gear, I shake my head in confusion as I look at Mac.
Bam Miller: Mac what the hell is going on?
Mac looks at me with a serious look.
Mac Bane: Get it together Bam We've got our work cut out this time. We were successful in our last hunt in getting the WGWF Tag Team titles but now we the hunters are being hunted by The Beast and his new friend the slithering snake Badmon. Both are deadly apex predators on their own but together they can either be more lethal or too greedy to work together.
I follow his words carefully and take in the information he feeds me as I get myself mentally ready for the challenge ahead.
Bam Miller: Ok so we've got two predators looking to take us down and claim us as their prize after failing to capture their own prizes just a few weeks ago. I mean the Beast had the chance to become King of the WGWF jungle but he let that slip through his fingers and you bested the Badmon snake before, so while yes they are deadly, they've to show weakness before, and while many can’t take of advantage of it but we together have already proven we can take down any formidable duo that opposes us so I say let The Beast and Badmon slithering snake come for us so that we can slaughter them and collect their heads and mount them on our walls!
Mac smirks at me with a huge grin on his face.
Mac Bane: That's what I like to hear partner, we better get on the move I can hear The Beast coming and the slithering sound of the Badmon snake coming through the grass.
As we start to move through the high grass of the safari I use my hands to check my cargo pockets for any weapons to help defend against the two apex predators but to my surprise, I find nothing and reach out to Mac as he leads the way to the imposing battle.
Bam Miller: Hey Mac you got a knife or something to help us against these beasts?
Mac turns around for a moment as he laughs.
Mac Bane: No weapons Bam, just bare hands to wrestle these creatures into submission.
Bam Miller: Well wouldn't be the first time I had to get my hands dirty with a Beast.
Mac nods his head in agreement.
Mac Bane: Yeah I forgot you had a run-in with The Beast once before, if I recall things didn't go your way that night.
Bam Miller: Yeah The Beast got the better of me that night but since then I've done well for myself thanks to you. We've become The Tag Champs of the WGWF jungle while The Beast still hasn't been able to reclaim his throne as King from the old days. Maybe that's why he still needs to mention me because beating me has been his biggest highlight so far and is jealous of our success and thinks hunting us will be an easy win for him but soon The Beast is going to find out I'm a different man then I was once before.
Mac nods in understanding as we continue to move through the safari.
Mac Bane: What about the Badmon?
Bam Miller: I don't know much about him and don't really care to get to know him but what I do know is that he's chosen to align himself with The Beast against us and anyone that does that has already sealed their fate and I can promise that the Badmon is going to wish he could unseal it.
Mac nods his head and we continue to move through the high grass of the safari until we come to an open wide field. It was quiet for a moment until we heard movement coming from the east and west sides of us.
Mac Bane: Get ready Bam!
I nod my head as Mac and I put our backs toward each other and prepare for the worst to come and eventually, it does as a large Best that resembles a Lion leaps out at me and tackles me to the ground and we roll around fighting for the advantage while the large Badmon snakes come slithering quickly at Mac and wraps himself around him. Mac tries his best to get unwrapped while I try to fight off the Beast who has been pinned down with giant-like paws. Digging his claws into my chest a little until Im able to use my legs to push and flip The Beast off me and kick myself back to my feet but as I turn around the Beast strikes me on my chest and leaves a large claw wound across my chest, The Beast then stares me down as if he knows he has me like did last time.
Bam Miller: You got the better of me before but not this time, I promise failure is not in my future again like it is for yours.
Mac manages to break free from the hold of the Badmon Snake but not before taking a vicious bite to his shoulder and throwing Badmon Snake across the field. Mac and I then go back to back again as we both try to catch our breath as we regroup.
Mac Bane: Ok listen Bam, so far we've been going about this hunt as if we are in two separate one on one battles instead of working together. These apex predators are great in one on one action but we are the WGWF Tag Champions for a reason. We knocked off the longest reigning and two-time Tag team Champions in the Show Stealerz, that shit means something and as good as The Beast and Badmon are in one on one battles, they are new to working together and do not know each other well enough to be a cohesive unit.
I nod my head as we still stand back to back staring down The Beast and The Badmon as they get ready to strike at us again.
Bam Miller: Your right Mac, this is our type of battle we are The Champs of working as a Team, and now it's time to put it on display and claim the heads of The Apex Predators!
Mac and I stand our ground as they both rush us again from opposite sides as they close in on us I hear Mac call my name out and the voice starts to echo as it rings through my head until the dream goes dark and a bright light appears out of the opening as my eyes start to open and as my vision becomes more clear I wake up in the Hell Gates medical room where Mac, Kim, and Kat look at me with concerned but all I can do is shake my head as I think about the hunt and then look at Mac.
Bam Miller: Mac we have to finish the hunt!
Mac looks at me puzzled.
Mac Bane: What hunt Bam?
Kim Pain: His brain is probably still scrambled.
Kat Jones: More like fried like an egg.
I shake my head at them and then jump off the table and look at Mac with wild eyes.
Bam Miller: Im talking about the vision I had I know how we complete the hunt against the Beast and The Badmon, I know what we must do!
Mac smirks and gives me a pat on the back.
Mac Bane: I hear you Bam but let's get you checked out and then come to Brawl will finish the hunt and show everyone that The Alliance of Ultra-Violence wasn't a fluke and that these WGWF Tag Team titles are here to stay and Cable and Adams will find that out the ultra-violent way!
I smirk for a moment.
Bam Miller: I like the sound of that now let's get me checked out and go get a beer.
Mac and I pump fist as we walk out the door with Kat and Kim and then the scene fades away.
The Trash
In the studio with Bam Miller, we prepare for the big tag team showdown with Adams and Cable. We see Mac press the button on the remote so the recording begins. They’d been training hard, even with nearly giving Bam a concussion, which Mac was sure his sisters would have plenty to say about, this was a good week. It feels as though they are on the right track.
Bam Miller: All the talking is done, now the only thing left is to walk that walk and fight that fight!
Mac smiles as Bam is off to a good start, when he pauses, Mac jumps in.
Mac: Now here are a couple of fellas that are big mad right now. Spencer thinks that what I did was desperate, but was it really? Everything I did was within the structure of the rules. After what I did to Austin? I drilled him in the face with a title belt, just because I could. Spencer, why didn’t you see this coming? As usual, your lack of foresight cost you a match, and your status as a big-time threat. No longer undefeated and forced to the back of the line for any kind of title shot. I think you were surprised that you lost, which makes this even more amusing to me than it did when I knocked your ass out. I wasn’t pretending or lying about my respect for you. That’s all still very real and present, the problem is that you opened your mouth. Anyone who knows you for longer than five minutes knows that everything is cool until you start talking. You’re just out there proving a scientific theory that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. You appear to be bright and then you start to talk. Case closed, the theoretical physicist was spot on. This match, a tag team affair, you have to rely on mister unreliable Jon Cable. You poor bastard.
Mac: Speaking of Jon Cable, he’s mad because I slighted him. Pointed out every failure that he has as a professional and as a man, all because he decided to run his mouth. He’s big mad and demanded this match just so I can show the world what a choke artist he is. Cable and I used to be friends up until he abandoned me and Tristan and we had to break the Kingdom by ourselves. Your claim to destroying the kingdom is a joke, it was already demolished before you had your match with Fred. We beat the hell out of him and Mark Flynn, it wasn’t even close. You know, while you got your “injury” cared for? I never thought you were hurt, you seem like a liar to me Jon. Know how I can tell when you’re lying? Your lips were moving, that’s how. He got a shot at the World Champion, Peter Vaughn for failing? Maybe you can fail upwards here. Shit why not, they’re giving a shot to fucking Jmont. He only has one win as far as I know and that was our debut here. Since that time, I’ve left him bloody twice. Isn’t stopping him from getting that shot though. What was it you claimed your big match wins were? Bam Miller, my partner in crime. That was a long time ago and he’s elevated his game. I don’t think you could possibly handle him one on one right now. Fred Debonaire was another name you mentioned. And? And when you faced Peter it was the same old thing, choke artistry. You're pathetic.
Dependability, reliability, these things matter more in tag team wrestling than you could ever imagine. Bam and I have had that since day 1. We know each other well, especially after trying to kill each other not that long ago. We love it when they throw a couple of losers together to face us. This won’t be much beyond a tune-up match for us, while for the two of you, it’ll be another loss to keep you bouncing on down the road to obscurity. That is the spot you both deserve on the roster. Big boy Jon out there trying his money flex with me and that’s fine, you just keep telling yourself you’re important. If you tell that to yourself long enough you’ll begin to believe it, too bad no one else will. You getting that title shot against Peter is the equivalent of a mercy fuck from a stripper. Maybe that’s the reason I keep calling you a poor man's JMont…could be…
I’ll be damned.
That’s true, hahahahaha, you’re such a loser son, I don’t even know why you’re still in this business other than to get the younger guys over. Maybe they’re hoping that some of your mediocrity will rub off on Adams, so he can at least be brought up to your level. Good ol’ “Glass Jaw” Spencer Adams. You’re not a bad man at all dude. Can’t take a punch either, evidently. I see you out there on social media crying and not owning that loss, that’s okay, there are a lot of no-selling pieces of shit out there. You’re just one of many. You’ll have even more ammo after this match as well.
