They say we all have strengths and weaknesses. Would it be egotistical to disagree with that? Yeah. Maybe. There’s a lot of egotistical people in this business. I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. I understand it. Wrestlers, they don’t want to seem less than. Less than what though? Their opponents or their our own self ideology?
I guess to each their own as the saying goes. Through my first few weeks in Action Wrestling it may appear that I see myself as greater than or without weakness. That’s not actually the truth. We all have them. I’ve noticed some in the dynamic duo of Comic book man and Sara whatever her name.
He pulls his mask from his back pocket ever so carefully protecting his identify as he pulls it over his head. Raijin then walks around the corner of the building. Before he reaches the door a girl wearing an Action Wrestling shirt approaches him.
“Raijin!?” She exclaims overly excited.
He smiles as he replies, “Hey there, kiddo.”
She can’t be no more than twelve, maybe. These moments are what most in AW would avoid or ignore. Raijin, he’s not that guy. He answers some questions, smiles, signs a few things, pats her shoulder and sends her on her way.
Just like CruiserClash all over again. A few quick moments and then I’m done. My weakness? Thinking that the AW is really going to be this easy. Weakness or confidence. That’s the question.
Raijin shrugs, “I guess that’s for you to decide.”
Raijin has two opponents and a partner that he’s never teamed with before. Challenges. AW likes throwing those out into the wrestle verse. It looked easy last week and honestly this week isn’t looking much worse if Raijin is being honest about it.
The cartoon guy who’s name sounds like a bad comic book character and Sara Palin… errr, Pratt… Whatever… The look on their faces had to have been priceless. Jaws locked. Clasped fingers held within their clammy palms. Them seeing the vs. line with their opponents names in the weekly match up next to theirs.
Nervous? Upset stomach? Chills? Feeling a little under the weather? Already looking for those excuses, huh? Yeah, Raijin bets that you are. Hey, AW do you give sick days?
The promo he was headed to cut when he was stopped by the kid earlier. He let’s it play as he watches from his phone while sitting on the toilet. Funny, how his opponents and the restroom seem to go hand it hand.
I’ll admit I noticed Sarah Palin… errr.. Paris. You know. Whoever. I noticed her last week. Not for any real reasons to be honest. I caught her promo. I watched the match. I wasn’t impressed but I wasn’t unimpressed either. That Captain guy though. Honestly, I didn’t notice him. Didn’t even know the name before it was across from mine.”
“I did go back and take a look at the masked guy that’s going to be standing across the ring from me and my new pal, CJ Phoenix.”
“October 10th, Captain Obvious said and I quote, You right, Jims! We CAN do this!”
“That’s his big speech. The bravado that he’s going to bring to the AW? Okay, Bob the builder.”
Raijin laughs as he continues.
“Impressive. I’m cowering over here. I’m going to need some new undies. Can I borrow the one’s your wearing over your head? I mean. You can’t seriously call that thing a mask?
I don’t think I need to say it but after that big line I didn’t go back to watch any of his matches. I didn’t think it was needed. Does anyone? Obviously, the dynamic duo are locked in for that L this week. The two of you knew that already. Didn’t you?
The last line of his promo ends as he flushes the toilet. If that’s not symbolic I don’t know what is.
CJ Phoenix, pal, we’ve talked and we’ve planned for this coming Clash. AW has plans. It’s obvious. We’ve prepared for those. We got this thing.
Oh, Keeton. I didn’t forget about you. You got the night off this week. Enjoy that stolen victory.
