YEAR IN REVIEW
Ragnarök was always a bad guy. No matter what the man did the world hated him. Over the last year he has battled someone of the best in the business taking some bumps and bruises along the way. However, halfway through the year something inside him started to change. He wanted to be someone the fans appreciated and loved. Yet, they failed to recognize him as a good man with a big heart. All the battles with Sonya Benson, Buster Gloves and others have reveal the ugly side of the warrior Ragnarök. The veteran of WGWF knew it would take a lot of work to prove just how sincere he was about all the chaos he caused throughout the year. In fact, the last time Ragnarök was in the ring he was defeated in the Cannabis Cup ending his opportunity at a world title shot which turned out to be winning the actual title itself. He knew that the ancestors that came before him would be disappointed in the result but that the modern-day warrior would do anything he could to get redemption. Just when he thought everything was going back to normal, he was drafted to the new WGWF Smash program. It was the first time Ragnarök experienced something of that magnitude but as always, he adjusted and now he was ready for combat once more. It was Ragnarök last stand in his mind and a new chapter which very well could be his last.
RAGNAROK: THE FINAL CHAPTER
Page 1
As the world and fans of WGWF saw him in action realizing the power of Odin was within this mighty man everyone knew he was back. The love of his family and friendships built over the year reassured him that this was where he was met to be. However, the world thought he was finished. The fans thought he would disappear into the depths of the unknown never to be seen again. However, he was a fighter. A warrior. A God. Nothing was going to hold him back from finishing the story on his terms. Ragnarök moved to Smash because they needed a leader. Someone tough and resilient. A real competitor to bring 2023 to a close and make 2024 the year of RAGNAROK. It was going to be a tall task with the talent level that Smash had to offer but in order to prove his worth RAGNAROK knew it meant starting at the bottom. Asking the new General Manager to give him a challenge was just the beginning of his boldness. WGWF would not be ready for this version of RAGNAROK.
Suddenly a bright flash occurs, and Ragnarök is standing in Central Park. The sky was grey, but the land was covered in beautiful snow. It was the season of giving as Ragnarök looked in the distance as the snow fell around him.
Ragnarök: It feels good to be on my feet. The Cannabis Cup took a huge toll on me not just mentally but physically. I knew the moment I was defeated that something felt off. The inner strength I had was gone and an evaluation was needed. My life was forever altered when I was told by a doctor that I could not compete. My entire life I've never missed time and now I had to just sit on the sidelines and watch Smash launch without a marquee name such as myself. So even though I am now back in business and will be on Smash Christmas day I refuse to cut my vacation in New York short just yet. However, I want to introduce myself to you Kasey. I realize you are new to the business and not be nervous. However, I'm the last guy you want to see in that ring. I don't care where you are from or what you have to offer to this place, I'm not going to take it easy on you because it teaches you nothing about what this industry has to offer. Ms. Welker you seem like a lady who does her homework so the names Sonya Benson, Buster Gloves and Cholo will surely sound familiar to you right? Those names all have a special place in WGWF history. They are the most feared names because stepping into the ring with them will drive you crazy trying to defeat them. I would know because I competed against all three and lived to talk about it. You see I used to be like you and felt great walking in here with a confidence most would dream about. However, within 6o days I saw the reality of my situation and learned the hard way that no matter how great you are someone will be better. Ms. Welker to this day those three names have chiseled me into something I never thought I could be. I am stronger, smarter, quicker and more talented. Ms. Welker you are walking into a nightmare situation and while I'm very safe inside the ring and look out for my opponent doesn't mean that I will not give you everything I have. This is your nightmare not mine all you have to do is try to survive it and not run the other direction.
Ragnarök walked slowly toward the center of the park where a huge Christmas tree was standing. the kids were laughing, and a joyful noise could be heard throughout the region, but no one knew the truth that waited Kasey Walker as the smile grew big on Ragnarök.
The year might be coming to a close for WGWF, but I will never rest. I refuse to be the lazy one in the company that gets by on name alone. My actions will speak louder than any words I say. When I was told that I couldn't compete on Smash until further notice I was devastated. For once I was looking forward toward opening night and stealing the show but instead, I had to deliver a message that I wasn't proud of. Letting the fans down and management was not on the agenda. However, my luck has changed, and I stand here in New York City. The Christmas season is about seasoning beatings instead of greetings. Kasey Welker was General Manager Barrow choice to take on yours truly. She is a unique individual and I'm looking forward to the battle. If you want to learn from the best pay attention to what I say. If you want to make an impact that will be felt forever let my actions in that ring show you what is needed to be successful.
The snow stopped and a cold wind start to blow. He could feel things shifting around him. It didn't worry him though a veteran of change and dedication. He stood near the tree closing his eyes as he spoke for the final time.
Ms. Welker you are twenty-one years of age. A Greenhorn if I ever saw one. I prefer someone older with experience and knows what they want out of this business. I generally don't like to slap the shit out of ladies, but I will swallow my pride and morals once again and do what I'm asked by Mr. Barrows. Being from Los Angeles you probably feel like an entitled rich girl who survives on daddies' money right? Perhaps this was a last resort trying to make a quick buck because he is cutting you off at the end of the year.
Ragnarök smirked.
Truth be told Ms Welker WGWF doesn't stop for anyone including rookies like yourself. I know you want to impress the world with your California lifestyle and bright personality but when you look at me do you really think that's possible? I don't because in WGWF we have a place for everyone. The rookies belong at the bottom being used as see fit to get our message across as a veteran. Then you have the veterans like me and a former champion that still has a message for the roster. We have a method to our madness around here and you will not be interfering with them. I can tell your from California thinking you are bigger and better than anyone and wanting to cut corners to achieve a victory only thinking about yourself. I guess having your debut on Christmas is the biggest present you could ask for Ms. Welker. I'm Santa Claus delivering you the gift you will never forget. You might want what everyone desires such as laptops, televisions and brand-new phones but all of these don't compare to me giving you a Merry Christmas and a season beating of a lifetime. Blood, bruises and fear will be the only thing about Christmas you will remember going forward. So, sleep well if you can Ms. Welker for Ragnarök is coming to Charlotte very soon.
With those words he continues to walk through the park eventually reaching downtown New York. He stood on the very intersection where he was dumped by his parents and told to survive. Ragnarök a grown man now had come a long way from that moment but as he looked up at the Skyscrapers around him, he spoke.
There are a few select men backstage that have a problem with how I approach things. Some don't fully understand how I function. Then others truly get me and know my background makes me unstable yet reliable. My rich history of betrayal has made me not want to be that guy anymore. So, I stand here at the intersection where it all began to realize just how far I have come. The scared young boy that stood here over twenty-five years ago is shattered. I have very little memory of what the hell I went through as a child. Instead, I found a forever love with wrestling and God parents. We only get one life and I want to enjoy the most from it. My entire life others have dictated what I do and condemned me for trying to make a name for myself. I'm taking back the very life that was stolen from me and it begins with Ms. Welker.
He looked up to the heavens as a loud roar can be heard throughout the city. It caused cars to crash and glass to broke within the buildings. A smile appeared on Ragnarök's face as the light disappears turning into darkness, he opened his eyes only to have a glow in them. It was like something from a horror movie. Ragnarök has transformed yet again into something WGWF wasn't prepared for.
