Oh wow. One win and I'm booked in a title match? I sure hope this isn't favoritism. Or it could be the company using my name to boost viewership. Coming back for the proverbial dead like SFT is doing, you need to use every big name you got to bring back the fans. I don't mind. I owe the start of my career to SFT. There would be no Mike Zybala in the wrestling world if this company didn't give me a chance. So if I can help bolster the numbers, it's the least I can do.
Though, booking me against one Jason Not-Impactful might send the fans away. I watched his match against Twilight last week and his win was exactly that. Weak. A countout? In the main event of the show? Are you serious, Jay? That's not how you live up to your moniker. That's how you get fed to the sharks. Count outs are for chumps. Yes, I know, a win is a win is a win. That's all that matters in the record books. But that only gets you so far. You don't win titles by ringout. Thats the lazy way. You beat someone back into the ring. Congratulations. That strategy won't work against me.
Mostly because Hardcore matches don't have countouts. You have to really earn your win. You have to use whatever you can to beat your foe senseless. Sure, it's not pretty. You won't see any technical wizardry or anything like that. But you will see violence. You'll see carnage. You'll see blood. Not mine, of course. But yours. You'll see plenty of your own. Hardcore, weapons, chaos, these have always been my bread and butter. Sure, I can lock up and do an armbar with the best of them, and have a wall full of championship belts to prove it. But the hardcore scene has always been my specialty.
If memory serves correct, the hardcore title was the first championship that a young Mike Zybala ever won in SFT way back on 2003... or 04... whatever. Who's fact checking? Regardless, I won the belt multiple times over the years, plus it's counterparts in every other company I've been in. If a fed had a hardcore, or xtreme, or some 24/7 title, you best believe my name was in its history. I just like the chaos of those kinds of matches. I think it's because swinging something at someone is a good stress reliever. Like those rooms where you can smash t.v.s. or you throw the shitty Ilea furniture across the room because the pieces just won't fit together. That crunch of chair hitting flesh is like a white noise that takes away the stress. And lately I've got a lot of stress.
Are you a parent, Jay? If you are, you'll know where I'm coming from. I got a 3 1/2 month old daughter. Little love of my life, she is. My wife and I tried very hard to get pregnant and almost gave up before our little miracle was conceived. I love her more than anything. That doesn't make the sleepless nights, the refusal to nap anywhere but on mommy or daddy, or the occasional screaming fit any easier. So guess what? You get to be my big old stress doll on Tuesday. You get to feel all the "why won't you sleeps?!?" and "just let me put you down!!" and "for fuck sake, take the bottle! I know you hungry!"
Every negative emotion I refuse to express around my daughter, you will feel. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. I do encourage you to fight back though. I wouldn't want this to be too easy or make me feel like I'm hurt mugging you. I want you to struggle. I want you to try your best. Make me feel like I earned the win. Because that's already a foregone conclusion. You'll end up in the trainer's room, getting bandaged up and taking a cold shower to rinse off all the blood, and I'm going to have something shiny and new to show my baby.
