Meeting an Old Friend
Part 1
The house was large, and mighty impressive sitting on the hill as the car move closer toward it. Xian Long could not help but be impressed by it as he move close toward it. A place like this was the stuff of dreams when he was a boy back in china. But dreams are wishes your heart makes, Xian Long heard this saying before and time after time he finds the saying true. His travels around the country can attest to that.
The car stops as it get to the front of the home. He opens the door to get out of the car. He still cannot believe that his friend would even go to the trouble to rent him a car from the airport. He could have easily got a rental car and driven to the home on his own. He been here many times before. But he was surprise to find a man waiting for him at baggage claim with his name on a sign. Xian long was not a man that would turn down a gift and his friend James wanted to rent him a car with a driver who was he to refuse such a thing. But he did insist on carrying his own bag to the nice long car waiting for him on the curb of the airport. That same bag was now laid next to his feet as he keep looking up at the home. At the same moment the front door open up and enormous African American man can walking out of it was a big smile on his face.
The man name was James Wallace, or as he was known to the wrestling world as Black Death. At one time some would consider him the best wrestler in the world. He was the only person to ever hold the prestigious True Experts title 3 times, winner of many world and tag team titles. Defended the True Experts title more times than persons holding it and was the last holder of the DIWF North American title before the promotion called TFWF closed it doors. Now he has been retire for a few years living the quiet life with his wife and kid in the suburbs of Las Vegas , his hometown, he was 6 foot 9 inches tall, look like he had not lose any of his weight when he was wrestling . Which at the time was over 300 pounds. But for some that would be fat, for him it was all muscle. He look like a grizzly bear had just step out of his cave and was coming down to get his first meal of the day, has he walked toward Xian Long with his arms open wide. He hug like one too as he wrap those huge arms around Xian Long in a giant bear hug lifting him off his feet. Xian Long smile as this happen, it did feel nice to see his friend and mentor again.
“Welcome X … Welcome to my home friend, it has been to lone since you come to visit us.” James said. “
“It is nice to see you” Xian Long said back “but I am going to need the use of ribs to breathe James, ease up a little bit” Xian Long spoke jokey.
“Oh sorry.” James let him go dropping him back down to the ground. He clap his hand on Xian’s shoulder. “It is really good to see you, I am glad you came.” James smiled down at him
“Thanks for inviting me…how Lisa?” Xian said back.
“Lisa is great…Little James is great also … it been what 3 years since you see him. Oh he grown. I am afraid he going to be like me when he gets older. Lisa is fine with that, but I don’t think that a good thing.” James laughed hardly with that joke. Xian Long laugh also.
Is Jade here also? Xian asked. But was not looking at James when he asked that question he would have seen a small smile appear at the corner of his mouth when he heard.
Not at the moment, but she might stop by later, not sure, she like to come and go. As you know she is somewhat of a free spirit now that she does not have to live with me anymore. She does what she wants.
Xian Long shook his head in understanding. Jade Wallace, James Wallace’s first child, beautiful, forceful, like a hurricane storm. Xian had never met anyone like her before and had to admit to himself that he might just love her. But he does not know if she feels the same way about him. He not going to try to find out anytime soon. But still he longs to be near her, see her talk to her. Xian does not understand himself sometimes, he could face down four or five armed men with no fear. But telling a woman how he feels about her shakes him to his core.
James reaches down and picks up Xian’s bag, the car had driven away by now. Let head inside now, James said has he holds the bag with one hand, putting the other arm around Xian’s shoulder. Let get you settle in …there are sometimes I want to speak to you about later.
Uh huh, Xian long half hears him as he walks with James Wallace toward the front door still lose in thought about Jade. James Wallace looks down at Xian Long shaking his head back and forth with a smile. You can hear him say something under his breathe.
He got it bad.
Triple Threat Match (Promo #2)
Xian long slowly move up toward the camera, his head moving from side to side slowly. Concentration on his face as he same to be listening for something. There not much light in the room that he was in, just barely enough to see himself. He steps were slow, one foot in front of the other. Then suddenly a burst of sound, like wind whistling, something was thrown in the air toward Xian Long. He reacted almost instantly has the sound happen. He throws his right hand into a punch hitting the thing came at him. He throws a kick hitting something else. This goes on for a few minutes like this. Xian same to be fighting with some unseen things in the dark. Sometimes punching them, sometimes kicking them and sometimes getting out of the way. After a few minutes he stops and hits the light switch on the wall. The lights come on in the room and
You can see that he was fighting sand bags that are tied to ropes attached to hooks on the ceiling. Swing back and forth. They would simulate attacker coming at him at every side. He walks over to a bench that at one side of the room. On the bench is a towel and a water bottle. Xian Long pick up the bottle and opens it. He takes a long drink from the bottle and sits down on the bench. He wipes his brow with the towel.
Xian Long – You got to watch you back for any type of attack. You will never know when it coming, so you have to be ready at all times. This triple threat match is a perfect example of that. I do not know when my opponents, either Khonda or John Blade are going to come from. I got to be ready to defend myself against all forms of attack …fist…feet, enormous butt. I pretty much mean Khonda with that statement. You learn to grow eyes in the back you head, you learn to feel another when another person is near you and they mean you harm. I am ready for this match. Ready to prove that I will be a champion in the NGW.
Khonda …I do not understand you disrespect of me, I heard your words and felt the competent that you had for me and John Blade. You want to know what a legend is …someone who has live a life that is worth remembering. That is what a legend is… that should be something that you should strive for. I set a goal for myself, I set a bar that I want to reach and I am going to not only reach that bar, but exceed it. Unfortunately for you Khonda … that means I must reach that bar by going right through you and John Blade. I want you to make no mistakes about this …I want you to listen to my words carefully, this is no battle royal. Do not think just because you were able to beat me in that match, this match is going to be a cake walk for you. I am going to beat you. Not just win this match, I am going to beat some respect into you. Because you are a man that needs to be humble. I am going to do you a favor, for a person to reach greatness, that person must have humility in there soul. You same to be lacking in that department. But not after this match. You are going to learn what it means to face a man that has respect, that is humble, that is hungry to be the best. Khonda ask yourself … why are you here, are you here to be a champion? are you here to be the best? Why are you here? I know why I am here, I know who I am…Come Vendetta Khonda… you are going to learn who I am. I am going to show you that I am a champion.
Well you got to love the confidence that John Blade shows when he speaks. It something that we all must have confidence in ones abilities, confidence that we will prevail and the other person will fail. John Blade feels that he will be victorious in the triple threat match. Failure is a way of life, we all experience from time to time. We must never let failure guide us, we must use it to makes ourselves better. John …I hope that you use the failure of losing this match to help makes yourself better in the future. You are not going to win….
Vendetta is slowly making its way toward his fans of NGW and I will say right now without a doubt this triple threat match will steal the show. You have three hungry men who want to win. Who want to be the best, who want to be champions? I tell you right now you better dare not miss it. Come down to the arena, if you cannot make it there and watch the match live. Watch it on TV. I tell you right now you will not be disappointed by this match … you will not be disappointed by this show. It will be my first step toward being a champion in the NGW. The things are about to change … forever
Xian Long gets up from the bench, wipes his face with the towel and takes one final drink from the water bottle he has in his right hand. He sets the bottle down on the bench and leaves the room.
Fades to black.
