Hidden away in his own shadows.
Afraid to admit his past or relive them.
He shakes in anger.
He is not afraid to act upon his violence.
The hatred he shares equally for everyone.
His wrinkled hands soaked in blood.
An image of himself he was all too familiar with.
A monster you avoid eye contact with.
The social outcast banished to the darkness.
It's cold when you sit alone.
Lonely when no one else is home.
His family turned their backs on him.
Because of what he did.
It could have happened to anyone.
But what was done is done.
Nobody cares about who did it.
They only care about who it happened to.
I have feelings too goddammit.
The voice echoed down the hallway of a treatment facility where he laid upon the couch. With a trained therapist present he was letting it all out in one foul cry for help. In an attempt to truly find himself and find his own voice. It wasn't what he had planned but it's what they planned for him.
Maddox: Mommy why did you do this to me? Why did you paint the picture that I was the biggest piece of scum to mankind? Why did you treat me like the scab on a sore and pick me apart slowly? You abandoned me in my time of need. You told the world your only son was ridden from existence just so you wouldn't have to answer any questions. The cut in which you created was the deepest slice that hurt me the most.
The whimpering and scouring noises he was making were enough to shock the therapist. She was in a state in which she was terrified but knew walking away would only make it worse.
Maddox: At least my father was trying to be helpful until you got up in his ears. You kept telling him I was a lost cause. You kept telling him I was a failed project and that he shouldn't get caught up in it. If only you kept your mouth shut he could have saved me. He could have guided me in a better direction. Nowadays I don't even know who I truly am or how to act normal.
The therapist has a gut feeling she is making a breakthrough with Maddox. This was the most she's ever heard him speak in the numerous sessions they have engaged in.
Maddox: You couldn't help me, you 'd rather just keep picking me apart until I was nothing. The amount of calls and texts I sent you to talk things through you either let go to voice-mail or left me unread. How do you think it made me feel? The only man who would listen or care was Jaxson Caine.
With his eyes opened he sat up from the spot he was initially lying down. With tears running down from his eye sockets the therapist asked a question.
Therapist: And who is Jaxson Caine and how did he save your life?
Speaking with a deep voice.
Maddox: Jaxson Caine risked his entire life for me. This man didn't know me from a hole in the ground but yet he accepted me. Without a question he opened his doors to allow me to have housing situated. If he had not done that I would still be living in that bush inside the tent.
She scuffled back in her seat and scribbled some words on the page in her lap.
Therapist: Will you try and reach out to your family again?
Maddox: My family will never accept me for who I am again. For them it’s already too late to turn the page and mend the fences. Once the chain links begin breaking and snapping it’s hard to pull it back and resume normality.
Therapist: You are making great progress today and hopefully it will help you out. I know getting in touch with emotions is a very difficult thing for you to overcome.
The way he is moving around it's clearly visible how distressed he is feeling. His eyes have been shifting hectically from side to side. After reading her notes again she asked her last question.
Therapist: What type of mental and physical suffering do you feel during a normal day?
Maddox: I have been losing my hair due to the stress I have felt. My fingertips bleed from chewing my nails due to the anxiety I live with. I can't even leave my own house without a kid looking at me and pointing and laughing. It hurts me dammit… It hurts me every single waking moment of my life.
She closed the pages of her notebook making a loud thumping noise before she concluded the meeting between the two of them.
Therapist: That is all the time we have for today. I hope next time we meet we can really crack some of this nutshell open so we can really dig deep.
LATER THAT DAY. PROMO — [ ON CAMERA ]
TAME THE WILD ANIMAL…
Putting a bull in a China shop is as useless as having a condom and choosing not to use it. On my command you Maddox will break the bull like shattered porcelain. Watch him crumble in front of our eyes. We now have our eyes on a new shiny prize Maddox can drape over his shoulder. No your eyes don't deceive you - You will witness the destruction of Corey Bull with your own two eyes.
On behalf of Maddox who wishes to send you his deepest condolences. We understand you have had an impressive outing in the last couple of matches but this is the time Maddox needs to grab the bull by the horns.
WE WILL CONTROL THE NARRATIVE…
Do you know what it's like to wake up everyday and here take this pill and be silent? Well he does. No longer will Maddox listen to the demands of the doctors and has since found his voice once again. They tried to force feed him prescription after prescription telling him he needed them. They forced him to become a mindless act of society with zero emotions. Do you know the damage that can do to a human? Do you know the amount of abuse it put him through? The pleas and bargains of an innocent man were muted through these exact prescriptions. They did everything beyond their power to keep him behind bars for a lengthy period. They tarnished his name and future on allegations that were not true. They took the allegation and turned him into their own victim and didn't have the nerve to admit or correct it.
THE LIES THEY FEED YOU…
Now we shall continue to chit chat about the newly acclaimed x-division title that will be introduced to the audience of WGWF. I know in the burning pit of your stomach you feel like that title belongs to you Mr. Bull but may I remind you that Maddox is just a little bit more impressive and ruthless.
HE WILL CHOKE YOU…
Until you can no longer breathe he will slowly wrap his hands around your throat and squeeze the air from inside your lungs. With your chest heavily inhaling and exhaling well you gasp for your life… It’s a miserable feeling if you ask me. Now you have no option to choose between the title and survival but what hand do you weigh more profitable.
THE RIGHT HAND…
On this hand you walk away with a new title but you are broken beyond repair and the long term damage done to you is unbearable. Yes you did win the match but you lost the war at the same time and the wounds and scars prove to be the difference.
THE LEFT HAND…
On this side of the line you lose but you walk away to fight another day. You won’t walk away qualifying for the next round but at least you can look forward to opening the next Smash on the lower end of the card once again. One impressive match against a bald headed drone named Gideon King and all of the sudden you feel like the world owes you something. May we remind you Corey that Gideon was brand new to the company and hadn’t even got his feet wet yet. It’s very easy to look impressive against someone who looks inferior. When you stand in front of my client Maddox you will finally understand how it feels to stand in King's shoes.
DON’T BE AFRAID…
Consider yourself very lucky that this match has rules and regulations in which Maddox will be forced to follow. If the need or opportunity arose for him to use a weapon or two you wouldn’t be standing let alone walking but they have already warned him against it.
For a change in pace Caine stood back as Maddox made his way towards the foreground of the camera and wanted to speak for himself.
NO longer am I hidden in the shadows without a voice to speak…
You understand I have no choice but to do this Corey as much as it pains me I promise it will hurt you much more. For many years I stayed silent and let Mr. Caine spoke for me and it worked out very well for that time. I no longer live in a comatose state as a non functioning socially distant human suffering from the pills they were supplying me. In all honesty I probably don’t even need Caine around me anymore but at the same time I won’t turn my back on my mentor.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING A COWARD BULL WOULD DO…
You have probably turned your back on everyone who ever surrounded you just because the bull wants to stand alone. You need to be the most aggressive and toughest in the room at all times. You are nothing more than the bullshit on the bottom of my wrestling boot when I step on your torso. When my right hand connects with the flesh of your forehead and the warm blood begins to trickle down my fist and my forearm you will finally realize why they call me a monster.
A 6’8” 350 LBS MAN ON A MISSION…
The x-division was built on no restrictions and no weight limits… It was built for guys like me who didn’t want the hassle and attention in the heavyweight title spotlight but still wanted to carry championship gold. Now that Jonathan Barrows has given us the green light to destroy each other I have been excited for this opportunity. Once I advance to the second round and see what it puts inside my path of destruction I can gauge the rest of my competition accordingly.
Heading back behind Caine in the dimly lit shadow behind his shoulder he allowed Caine to conduct the rest of the promo having already spoken enough.
THE TICKING TIME BOMB…
The therapist that has been working with Maddox has been releasing a lot of emotions from him and some of them are not so good. At any moment of time he could explode like a nuclear bomb and destroy many different superstars who roam the locker rooms inside the WGWF. For the time being I do have my monster controlled but what happens when I can no longer control him from taking over? Nothing in this planet or universe will be able to stop him and that’s not a fact it’s a promise.
Nothing will ever stop me.
Both men were now laughing as the camera began to static as it was making a noise sounding like it was about to overheat. Both men were looking at each other before Caine held up a thumbs up towards the camera. Both of them walked away from the scene as the camera faded to black.
The end..
