Character Building Roleplays / UWL Bedlam On The Bayou RP
« on: September 26, 2014, 09:31:11 PM »
 This is my first RP in awhile. Let me know what you guys think.

Kidd Khronicles
September 26th, 2014

A few weeks ago, I was on top of the world. I was the reigning Second City Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. I was the face of the most dominant faction in pro wrestling today – The Young Moderns. I had it all. I have the attention of the whole pro wrestling community. I was the person that everyone was talking about. They feared me. They feared me and what I can do if ever they speak of something that would get me riled up. I was the Bogeyman, the monster under everyone’s bed.

Then it all came crashing down at Battle of Bludhaven. I lost the Second City Wrestling Heavyweight title to Damian Cole and again, from the monster that I was previously, I was brought back down to Earth and humanized. All of sudden, all the fears that I instilled to everyone, they all went away. I went back from being the talk of the town because of the terror and mayhem I cause inside the ring to being the talk of the town because I was a joke.  Just like that, I became the most feared wrestler to again, the most ridiculed.

Last weekend, at Second City Wrestling’s Road to Reckoning pay-per-view, the event that everyone had been waiting for happened. Since my sudden turn, people had been dreaming about my demise. Ever since I turned my back on everyone I love and cared for, people had been waiting to see me fall and fall hard. That came to realization last weekend as the people who led me to this path of destruction… the same people who created this monster you’ve seen from me the last few weeks… has turned on me and slew me the same way Dr. Frankenstein would have destroyed his creation.

But obviously, they weren’t able to get the job done. I’m still here and I’ve never been better. They aimed to destroy me but if anything, they just helped me. If anything, they just help me wake up from the slumber I’ve been in. If anything, they only helped me see through the bullshit that they, themselves fed me. They helped me realized all the faults I’ve done recently. They helped me realized all the bridges I’ve burned, to the fans, my friends and everyone I have alienated when I bought into the lies and manipulation they fed me.

See I am ashamed of myself. I’m ashamed that I let James Silkk get to me. I’m ashamed that I let James Silkk manipulate me and control me like I’m some kind of puppet on a string. I’m disappointed that I let all the anger and frustrations that I have been bottling up inside of me get the best of me and blind me to the point that I’ve opened myself vulnerably to the exploitation of that madman and let him create the monster that I’ve became. I am very ashamed that I have let him corrupt me into doing his dirty deeds for him.

And because of that, I’ve lost everything. Well, almost everything.

Yes, I did gain my first ever Heavyweight title under his tutelage, but I got through a circumstances that I would never wanted to get it. But overall though, I’ve lost more than what I gained. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve alienated my friends and my fans all throughout this ordeal. Because of that, I lost everyone who has supported me over the years. When I turned my back on them to join The Young Moderns, they tried so hard to keep me from fully going to the darkside but I pretty much flipped them off and told them to go fuck themselves so in turn, they left me. And I couldn’t blame them for that. I was under full assumption that what I’m doing is the right thing to do. James Silkk had me fully believed that we were changing pro wrestling and the world.

But these last few days of just being at home, made me looked at things from a different perspective. As I said earlier, the events that occurred at Road to Reckoning awoke me from the trance I have been on all this time. The events from Road to Reckoning opened my eyes and now I know that I’ve fucked up. And believe me, I have fucked up big time.

I know a simple apology wouldn’t suffice. I wouldn’t want that too if I am in the place of the people who have been affected by my recent actions. I would require them to prove themselves that they are really repentant for what they did. I would require them to show me that they regret what they’ve done. And that’s what I am expecting from each one of you (at least those of you left) reading this entry right now. I am sorry for what I have done these past few weeks and I am going to show you that I really am regretting all my recent actions. I am not asking you all to fully forgive in a heartbeat. I want you to make me earn all over again. I want you to make me work hard for it and that’s what I’m exactly what I’m planning to do.

I am going to redeem myself and that road to redemption will commence on Saturday night at the UWL Bedlam on the Bayou event in New Orleans. I will show you all that I’ve changed for the better and that I have shed off every little ideal that James Silkk instilled in me. I will show you all that I am regretful of what I’ve done and that I am willing to do whatever I can to win each and every one of you guys over. I am going to work harder than I have before in order to prove to you that I have reverted back into the Ryan Kidd that you all love and adore before.

With that said, let me shift my attention to my actual match for Bedlam on the Bayou. That night, I will be defending the last remnant of what I obtained during my run with The Young Moderns – the UWL Junior Heavyweight title. And I will be defending it against a lethal opponent in Tony Miranda.

Tony I know what you can do in the ring. You don’t have to tell me. I’ve seen it first-hand at Slamboree when we first stepped in the same ring as opponents. I’ve seen how you’ve manhandled and fought valiantly against not only me, but Equinox and Nighthawk. You were very impressive that night and I knew from there that you will eventually be in line for another shot at the title. But you got to remember what happened that night Tony. You did not walk away with the belt. I did. As I usually do, I overcame the odds and beat out multiple opponents and scored the pin-fall to become the new UWL Junior Heavyweight Champion.

And at Bedlam on the Bayou, the results will be the same, Tony. Only this time, the stakes are higher on my end. I am not only fighting to keep the belt that, despite my situations at that time, I’ve worked so hard for, but I am also fighting for my redemption. I am literally fighting for every bit of my well-being, Tony. I’m fighting to clear my name and I am fighting to clean off my legacy which I’ve tarnished badly due to my involvement with The Young Moderns. With that said, you can expect me to come out swinging, Tony. You can expect me giving my all and leaving everything inside that very ring on Saturday night.

See I’ve lost literally everything, Tony. And last Saturday night, I almost literally lost my life. And to reiterate it, that brief brash with mortality gave me a whole new perspective about my life and my career. It showed me everything that I gave up for just a simple flicker of the spotlight and power that the Young Moderns have afforded me which wasn’t really worth when I realized how much I really have before. So now I’m fighting to regain all those I’ve lost back and I’m going to do whatever I can to get it. I’m gonna scratch and claw my way back to it the way it’s supposed to be. I’m going to prove everyone that I not only deserve this UWL Junior Heavyweight title, but I also deserve the people’s forgiveness.

As I’ve said earlier, I’ve lost everything. I don’t have anything left to lose but this title, Tony. I can go out in that ring on Saturday night and put everything on the line. I can go out there and fight like a bat out of hell. I have nothing left to lose so I can risk it all, Tony. I am on survival mode, Tony and with all these hunter and hunting references you made in your promo, I am assuming you know how dangerous a cornered animal can be. I am assuming you know how bad a cornered animal would fight in order to survive.

Tony on Saturday night, you might are the hunter and I will be the hunted. But like a cornered prey, you can bet your ass that I will fight as hard as I could to survive. You can expect that as sure as the sun will come tomorrow, I will give everything I’ve got… every ounce of my energy… every fiber of my well-being… in order to retain the UWL Junior Heavyweight title. And when it’s all done, the ending will be so similar to the ending of our match from Slamboree that everyone will think they are experiencing déjà vu. And then you will be left there lying on the mat, staring at the bright lights on the ceiling and you’ll realize that your biggest game ever has not only kicked your ass, but escaped with the biggest prize you could have ever won.

I’m ready for a fight, Tony. I hope you are too. At Bedlam on the Bayou, you will get a fight. A fight that you cannot win. My legacy and my title are on the line here, Tony. And I’m not just gonna lay down and let you take it all away from me. I’ve lost everything. I’m not losing anything again. I’ll see you on Saturday night.

 Locker Room Area
Del Mar Arena, San Diego, California
August 17th, 2014

Moments after Ryan Kidd’s match with Gabriel Asar on Sin City Wrestling’s flagship show “Climax Control”. The match was Kidd’s return match in SCW where he previously wrestled before with moderate success. The match was a back and forth one in which Kidd almost gained the victory. But in the end, he fell short in conquering his opposition.

Now Kidd sat on a steel chair as he unlaced his boots. We then heard the door open and within a few moments, we see two familiar faces walk into the frame. Kidd looked up and looked confused. The two individuals were none other than his Young Moderns stable mate James Silkk and Christian Rhodes. Kidd stood up to face the two.

Kidd: What are you two doing here?

Silkk smirked but he doesn’t really looked happy.

Silkk: It’s nice to see you too, Ryan.

Kidd slouched back down to his seat and lowered his head.

Kidd: Sorry. I’m not really having a good night. I failed to win my return match here tonight…

Silkk cut him off.

Silkk: I know. We saw. We were sitting a few rows back from ringside.

He looked up at them.

Kidd: Why didn’t you guys told me you were coming? I could’ve scored you with better seats.

Silkk shook his head.

Silkk: It’s fine. We intended to not let you know that we’re coming.

Kidd looked confused. He stood up and glared at both men.

Kidd: And why is that?

Silkk looked at Rhodes. Rhodes shrugged.

Silkk: You might want to chill out and sit down, Ry…

Ryan cut him off.

Kidd: What don’t you tell me straight up, James?

Silkk did not took that attitude lightly. He moved closer so him and Kidd are almost nose-to-nose.

Silkk: You want me to just tell you, Ryan? Fine I will tell you what our problem with you. See, Ryan… Rhodes, Drakin and I… We’ve been questioning your loyalty to our cause for some time now. We see you on twitter chumming it up with Jason Richards and Johnny Ajax and all those people. Remember why we targeted Aries? Do you remember why he was our chosen victim?

Ryan did not answer. He just stared eye to eye with Silkk.

Silkk: In case you have forgotten… We have chosen Jason Aries as our first target because he was guilty of what’s wrong with professional wrestling, Ryan. Now you haven’t forgotten about that, don’t you, Ryan? You haven’t forgotten why The Young Moderns came together right, Ryan?

Ryan again stayed silent just looking dead on at Silkk.

Silkk: We came together to change pro wrestling. We came together to eliminate the wrongs in pro wrestling. We came together to destroy all the politics, the socializing to get to the top, and all the poisons that plagues pro wrestling. That is why Jason Aries was the first chosen target. He was guilty of socializing his way to the top. He gained his opportunity because he was acquaintance with…

Ryan cut him off finally breaking his silence.

Kidd: I know that all too well, James. You don’t have to remind me.

Silkk: Then what are you doing, Ryan? What are you doing hanging around with the likes of Jason Richards and Johnny Ajax. They are as guilty as Jason Aries of what we are trying to eliminate from Pro Wrestling. Do I need to remind you of Jason Richards’ personal relationship with Heath Sommersby? Do you remember how Richards exploited that to get his way to a 220 Wrestling title opportunity?

Kidd is getting angrier now.

Kidd: Jason earned it. He has been earning every bit of opportunities he’s been getting…

Silkk laughed.

Silkk: How cute… You’re defending him. It doesn’t matter if he earned it or he didn’t. That’s not what you’ve been doing lately that got us questioning you, Ryan.

He turned to Rhodes.

Silkk: Rhodes, who else is Ryan being sociable with on Twitter?

Rhodes hesitantly spoke.

Rhodes: The Mean Girls.

Silkk exclaimed.

Silkk: THE MEAN GIRLS! Yes!

He then moved in closer and glared at Kidd.

Silkk: The Mean Girls are the epitome of what we are against, Ryan. The Mean Girls are the perfect example of WHY The Young Moderns. Those superficial and materialistic bitches are the exact reason why The Young Moderns came together, Ryan. You SHOULD be eliminating them and not being sociable with them. They are a plague, Ryan. They are a cancer killing the sport but also the brain cells of those unfortunate people who have to listen to them or read their posts online!

Silkk stopped and breathes heavily. He let out a big sigh before going on.

Silkk: We brought you into The Young Moderns because we felt that you are the primary victim of all this poisons that is killing pro wrestling. Me and Rhodes, we’ve always believed that you are the present and the future of this sport. We have seen that you have what it took to be the best in this sport and yet you were repeatedly passed on for opportunities. We can see that you have that ruthless aggression that will make you one of the most unstoppable force in pro wrestling and that you just need a little guidance that way you can unleash it.

He took pause as he and Ryan went on to stare eye to eye at each other.

Silkk: But after you barely were able to beat Jason Aries for the 2CW title… And after you fail to beat that bum, Gabriel Asar here tonight… I don’t even know why we thought we saw something special in you, Ryan. I don’t even know why we thought you have that ruthless aggression, Ryan. Hell, I don’t even know anymore if you really have what it takes to be the best in this sport, Ryan. I mean, our personal issues with Aries aside, he does have a point that you needed us to beat him. Specifically, you needed ME to beat him.

Ryan snarled at him.

Kidd: What are you trying to tell me, James?

Silkk snarled back.

Silkk: I’m trying to tell you that from now on, we will be keeping a really close eye on you, Ryan. We will be watching every move you make and if we find it that it could be jeopardizing for the cause of The Young Moderns, we will not hesitate to take back what we gave you and kick you back to the curb where we picked you up. Remember Ryan… We made you… I made you… Into what you are right now. The Young Moderns are the sole reason why you are having this much success right now… And with how fast you’ve gotten it… We can take it back just as swiftly.

Silkk placed his hand on Kidd’s shoulder and tapped it.

Silkk: Show us something, Ryan. Show us that you are really a Young Moderns material. Show us that we did not make a mistake of choosing you as our face. Show us that you really have what we saw in you. We’ll see you when you get back to Chicago.

Silkk then nodded at Rhodes as the two then began their way out leaving Kidd all alone again in the locker room. We then heard the door closing as Kidd continued to glare towards where the two men went. He then sat back down to his seat and got lost in  deep thoughts regarding that conversation.

Stryke Dojo
Los Angeles, California
August 20th, 2014

After a long day of training and preparing for his respective matches this weekend, we can see Kidd walking on the parking lot of the Adam Stryker’s pro wrestling training facility Stryke Dojo. Kidd reached his car and unlocked the door. He threw his duffle bag to the backseat and got into the driver’s side. He took his time getting ready to leave including buckling his seat belt and checking all his mirrors when suddenly his phone began to ring. He picked it up from the cup-holder and looked at the screen. We can see James Silkk’s number flashing on it. He then swiped the answer icon and placed the receiver to his ear.

Kidd: Yeah?

Silkk: Did you remember what we talked about on Sunday?

He looked confused.

Silkk: I warned you about your personal acquaintance with the likes of Ajax and Richards. What are you doing then, Ryan? You have defied us and ignored our warning, Ryan. You shall…

Ryan cut him off.

Kidd: You really think I’m that stupid, James?

Silkk sounded confuse.

Silkk: Huh?

Kidd smirked even though we all know Silkk wouldn’t be able to see it.

Kidd: Of course, I remember about that conversation, James. I remember it vividly. The reason I am still hanging around Richards and them all is because I want to keep them in sight. I want to make sure I know their every move. I want to know their every agendas and I what they are up to. Ever since that conversation, I have realized that you are right. They are our enemies, James. But I’ve already gained their trust. I’ve already have them close to me. To me, its better to leave it that way so that we can strike whenever we want to and take them out of the equation.

Silkk laughed.

Silkk: I must admit you surprised me, Ryan. I never thought you have that in you… But you are right. It is easier for us to take actions this way. It’s easier for us to know when they are the weakest if we keep them closer to us. Good thinking, Ryan.

Kidd smirked.

Kidd: Thank you. As for that ruthless aggression you are talking about? I suggest you keep an eye for what I am going to do this weekend. I haven’t seen anything to you or to everyone else. What I did to Aries at Cardinal Sin? That was nothing. I am capable of more violence that that. And that vile and sadistic side of me will be unleashed this weekend.

Silkk: I can’t wait.

Kidd let out a soft evil laugh.

Kidd: I pity those unfortunate individuals who were booked to face this weekend. Whether be it Jason Aries in a steel cage in Second City Wrestling or Joshua Acquin and Lucian Frost in that Going For The Gold Roulette Rules match in Sin City Wrestling. I’m going to make sure that they all regret that showed up for our matches. I am going to make them regret that they even thought of lacing their boots up and getting in the ring with me this weekend. I will be their personal Judge, Jury and Executioner and based on my judgment, they are guilty of being ignorant enough of accepting these matches against me and therefore they are sentenced with a painful demise via my hands.

We can hear Silkk laughing a little bit on the other end of the line.

Silkk: You go do that, Ryan. Prove to us that we weren’t wrong in choosing you as the face of The Young Moderns. Prove to us that we weren’t just hallucinating when we thought we saw something special in you. Prove to us why you deserve everything that The Young Moderns have given you.

Kidd smirked.

Kidd: James… it will be my pleasure.

Silkk: Good. Now I have to let you go. I’ll see in Crown Point.

Silkk then hung up. Kidd stared at his phone’s screen for a bit before replacing it to the cup-holder. He then fired up the engine of his car before pulling out of the parking space and roaring off the parking lot.

 UWL Slamboree
Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
August 9th, 2014

I look up and hear the buzzing of the crowd. Equinox is on the top rope. He is looking to finish me off. He goes airborne and attempts his patented Dark Kingdom Swanton Bomb. My experience and adrenaline kicked in. I immediately raised my knee up and it worked. Equinox landed on my knee back first and he quickly dropped on the mat. He rolled around the mat favoring his back as I jumped up to my feet. I smirked getting a sense of amusement seeing him suffering in such agony. I can smell victory. There is blood on the water…

It’s time to go for the kill.

He tried to stand. He barely made it to his feet. I spun him around. I set him up before dropping him back down with the End Game. I covered him. The referee dropped down to the mat. I can hear the crowd, my fellow Angelenians, counting as the referee’s hand hit the mat…

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!

The bell sounded followed by my entrance music blaring through the arena’s speakers.  I got up to my feet. I heard UWL ring announcer Keith Williams say the words I have been hearing in my head since I started training for this match…

Keith Williams: Here is your winner... and NEW UWL Junior Heavyweight Champion.... RYYYYAAAANNNN KIIIIIDDDDDD!!!

I stood up. The referee handed me the UWL Jr. Heavyweight title. I looked at it and admired it before raising it up. The crowd is quite mixed which disappointed me. This is Los Angeles. This is where I am from. This people are my subjects. I am a hometown kid who made it. I brought them glory that only the Los Angeles Kings could and both the Clipper and the Lakers couldn’t. I am the new king of Los Angeles and THE best Junior Heavyweight in the United Wrestling League. They should be bowing down. They WILL bow down.

SCW Climax Control
Sound Nightclub, Los Angeles, California
August 10th, 2014

The next day…

I arrived backstage at the Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles, California. I’ve never understood why someone would come to this kind of place. The smell of sex, alcohol stench, and puke lingers the air as I walked into the communal locker room area. I looked around and saw some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces as well. They all looked at me in a weird way. I’m used to it. I’m a returning guy who is looking to steal their spot on the card. And they know I would. I’ve done it everywhere I went and I am doing it all over again here in SCW.

I said hi to those who were here when I first was here. We talked for a little bit as I looked around the room in the corner of my eye and I can see that some people, despite trying their best to pretend that they are not paying attention to me, are still eyeing me in the corner of their eyes. I smirked and thanked those couple of people who welcomed me back. I couldn’t be here any longer. I can feel the animosity emanating from them. As much as it amused me, I don’t want to be causing anything on my first day back. They’ll have their chance and I will have mine. For now, I will be a little bit civil.

I went out of the room and walked around. Found some staff who were with the company during my first run. Talked and catch up with them before going on. I ran into Liz Smalls. I’ve never met her in person but I’ve been following her career and I’ve interacted with her on twitter a dozen times before. She introduced me to the rest of the Mean Girls. Granted, I’m not a fan of their lingo but I can tell that these girls has what it takes to be at the top of this sport.

They said farewell as they needed to prepare for their match. I nodded and thanked them for welcoming me warmly unlike those others inside the communal locker room. They all went their way as I went on to mine. I could hear some noise outside the curtain as I heard the program director that they are letting the crowd into the venue. I walked up to Gorrilla position and hang out. I watched as the graphics guys prepared all the necessary graphics for the broadcast. I then heard someone on the PA say that we are just fifteen minutes away from the broadcast. I then take another look backstage before making my way out to go to my seat in the venue for the night.

Kidd Khronicles
August 15th,2014

Last weekend was an interesting one…

Not only did I crown myself as the new UWL Junior Heavyweight Champion and showing the world why I am the top junior heavyweight in the world and why I am the top best wrestler out there right now, I also found myself making my way back to my old stomping ground… Sin City Wrestling. If you have seen last weekend’s Climax Control, you’ve heard why I came back to Sin City Wrestling. But in case you didn’t and in case I need to reiterate it to you…

Sin City is breeding ground for everything that we, The Young Moderns are against. If you have walked around the Sunset strip, you would have seen the histrionic, narcissistic individuals that plague that city. Like a cockroach-infested kitchen, Sin City is infested with vermin that are eating the city out from inside and out. People who are power-hungry, selfish, greedy and are willing to go to the lowest form just to get what they want and gambling away their pathetic lives for fortune and fame.

Sin City Wrestling has not been far from its namesake. Yes, it rarely hold events in the city it was conceived from but it does not mean that it is not representing everything that is rotten and spoiled from that city. The fame-hungry individual lurking the ring and the halls of SCW is no different from the useless peasants that lingers around the Sunset Strip. They are willing to go to the lowest of low just to gain fortune and fame and gain some acceptance from these barbaric pro wrestling fans.

And my opponent this week exemplify it…Gabriel Asar.

Gabriel… I don’t know you personally. I don’t know what you’ve done in your career. In fact I don’t really know you beside what I see of you on Twitter. They said that you should not judge a book by its cover but with you, there is no actual book, Gabriel. You are just a cover. You are nothing but a façade, a fake that only craves nothing but validation and attention. Whether be it from the stupid fans who some of the people on the roster kill themselves for or from your fellow wrestlers.

Either way, Gabriel. I will give you what you want. You want attention? You got it with me. Only the difference is, you are going to regret getting my attention, Gabriel. You want to be a smartass on Twitter? Have at it. I have encountered a handful of smartasses in my career and it did not bode them well inside the ring. They tried to get under my skin and succeeded and in return, I dropped them on their head and gave them the biggest beating of their lives.

And at Climax Control, you will suffer the same fate, Gabriel. You will find out first hand why Ryan Kidd is a force to be reckoned with in pro wrestling and why The Young Moderns is inarguably the most powerful group of wrestlers in the sport today. And in the end, nothing… Not even you smartass-ness will be able to save you from what you are getting this Sunday. So go ahead and enjoy it, Gabriel. This Sunday, I will end it all. I will end your miserable existence and I will end your hapless career.

Sunday Night…

At Climax Control…

It’s End Game.

I’ll see you there.

 I’m not really in a good place right now.

I may look like it on the outside but inside, I am a walking, ticking time bomb of hatred and anger. An anger and hatred that only has one target. And that target is my arch-nemesis, former friend and current Frontier Grappling Arts Wrestling Heavyweight Champion AJ Fairchild.

AJ Fairchild had made my life a living hell these past couple of weeks. I don’t mind him pulling my tights to beat me at Final Frontier last month. Sad and frustrating as it is, that is part of our sport. There are some handful of people out there who will use underhanded tactics and take the easy way out just to get the three count. And I can accept that and I get why AJ had to do it. His title is on the line and he was facing an individual who is determined to take his title away from him.

And then that incident with Vikki happened at the end of Final Frontier. As most of you know and had seen, Preston Blake had ran out as I was confronting AJ after our match. He shoved AJ to me and I was knocked out. Preston went on with his assault on me and my girlfriend Vikki came running from the back to try and save me. Now Vikki is also a wrestler. She can protect herself if she has too but she was overwhelmed by Preston Blake. Preston tried to DDT her and AJ went for the save but Preston ducked and Vikki was hit by the FGA Heavyweight title instead. Vikki was knocked out cold.

AJ kept apologizing to me however he can. Twitter, voicemail, text messages, even e-mail… You name it, AJ had probably used it to try and get to me to apologized. But I ignored it. I must admit, it was a bad move on my part to not acknowledge the guy. I know its unjustifiable but I was pissed. I was angry. My girlfriend was hurt because of me and I couldn’t do anything about it. I guess you can say I was angry at myself instead of AJ.

But then AJ turned the other cheek. He began berating me on Twitter. He called me “bitter” because I lost to him at Final Frontier. He called me “jealous” because he’s holding the title that I’m coveting to hold. He even went so far as to say that the only reason I befriended him is for me to ride his coattails. He also claimed that I am inferior to him and he’s better than I am in any possible way. And that got to me. That hit every nerve on my body. For a guy who claims that I am inferior to him and he’s better than I am in every possible way, for a guy who claims I’m just riding his coattails and that I’m jealous and bitter, he seems to sound like he was what he was claiming to be what I am.

He went on antagonizing me on Twitter but I let it pass. I was getting bookings everywhere and I have no time arguing with an immature and unprofessional individual on social media when I have a job to do in some of the best independent wrestling promotion in the country.

Then on the first show of FGA in the New Year, AJ finally showed his true colors. Towards the end of our match, AJ attacked my opponent Preston Blake by shoving him to the ring post forcing the referee to give the match to Preston by DQ. Then after that, he then attacked me with a ladder. Vikki ran out from the back to check on me. Vikki got a shot at AJ but AJ hits her with a title yet again. And after that, he then drove me to the ladder with a flipping piledriver.

Because of that vicious attack, I was forced to miss that following Wednesday’s PWX Adrenaline event which ironically featured me and AJ Fairchild on opposing side in a six man tag match. Luckily though, I was medically cleared to wrestle for my debut match for Sin City Wrestling which I won via DQ (yet again) against Daniel Tyler, Tiami and Danielle’s brother.

So that’s how I’ve been these past few weeks. I may look like I’m doing fine on the outside but I’m on my boiling point on the inside. But I’m not just going to unleashed that anger on anybody. That honor will go to AJ as I confront him this weekend on FGA’s DVD taping in Plymouth, Massachusetts. People had been asking me if I’m interested in his reasoning why he did what he did at the Woodbridge DVD taping but to be completely honest? I don’t care anymore. He made a little friendly competition personal and now all I’m interested is getting my hands on him and beating him badly.

But until then, I’m going to have to keep my focus on my training for my match Sunday for Sin City Wrestling. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I won my debut match for the promotion and I’m planning to take the momentum I got from that match into this match. I am teaming with one of the most talented Bombshell in the company in Amy Marshall to take on Jordan Williams and Odette Ryder.

Long Beach, California

“Are you okay?”, Jackson asked.

I snapped out of the funk I’m in and nodded.

“Yeah I’m fine.“

“Do you know what you’re ordering yet?”, I asked him as a I went through the restaurant’s menu again. It’s been awhile since I’ve really hung out with Jackson as both our lives had been really, really hectic lately. With our trainer and SoCal renowned independent wrestling promoter Scott Hayes decided to hung up retire permanently from pro wrestling to try out his hand in film-making, he passed along the operations of his training facility and his promotion to Jackson. Jackson, on his part, is doing a great job with it as he is now running shows bi-weekly instead of the monthly format Scott used to have. He had approached me for a couple of guest appearance for the promotion but I had to decline due to my hands being full right now too. He understood but he said I owed him one and I promised him I’d made it up to him.

“Yeah I’ve decided on that 15 minutes ago. You, on the other hand, had gone through the menu a million times now with that blank stare of yours.”, he replied.

“Cool…”, I said. “Give me five more minutes and I’ll be ready to order as well…”, I added as I then went back to looking at the four-page menu again. Jackson stared at me as I do so as he then noticed my blank stare again.

“Is there anything bothering you? You want to talk about it?”, he asked.

I stopped flipping through the menu and tried to flashed the most faked smile I have ever flashed.

“Nope. I’m alright. Just a bit tired.”, I replied.

“Bullshit.”, he exclaimed.

“Huh?”, I asked confusingly.

“How long have we known each other, Ryan?”, he asked.

“Six years… “

“Six years?”

“More or less…”

“And four of those was us spending time on the road, being around each other twenty four seven right?”

“Yeah.”

“So if there’s anyone out there who would know you so well aside from your really, really old friends and your family members, it’ll be me right?”

“Yeah but what’s your point?”, I asked still confused as hell.

“All I’m saying is I know you so well that I know how you act when something’s bothering you, man. And right now, this… All of this… Your actions, your aura, your body language is giving you away… There’s something in your mind and you badly want to talk about it but for some reasons, you’re trying to disregard it.”

We fell silent as I tried my best to pretend that I’m reading the menu. I looked at him and sighed.

“I guess there’s no hiding from you, huh?”, I said.

“Fuck there isn’t. You’re so easy to read that even Hellen fucking Keller would be able to read you.”, he joked.

I chuckled and went through the menu again. Jackson stared at me waiting for me to open up whatever it is that’s bothering me.

“So? What is it, princess? I don’t have all day!”

I chuckled again and then shook my head.

“I really don’t wanna talk about it, man. I’m sorry. It’s something I want to deal on my own and something that will be dealt when the right time comes. Right now, all I want to do is to hang out with my best friend and catch up on each other’s lives.”, I replied.

He sighed.

“Fine. Whatever.”, he said as he reached for his glass of Pepsi of took a gulp from it. After drinking, he replaced the glass on the table and leaned back on his chair and stared at me.

“So tell me about this Sin City Wrestling place…”

“It’s a great promotion man. Lots of young and up-and-coming talents who are hungry to make their name in the sport. There are no so-called veterans who cant let go of their spots in the spotlight. If there are any, they are there to help out and teach us young wrestlers without asking for anything in return. The energy in the locker room is amazing and you will be able to feel the electricity the moment you walked into it. It’s really great.”, I replied.

“That’s good. I’m happy to hear that there are still those kinds of promotion out there. Promotion who aims to help out the young guys and giving them the platform to get over. That’s what Scott had been doing for years and that’s what I’m going to continue to do with his promotion.”

I nodded.

“And I’m proud of you for doing so.”

“Thanks man.”, he said smiling. “So… you said you are involved in a mixed tag team match this week?”, he went on.

“Yeah. I’m involved in this Blast From The Past Mixed Tag Team Memorial Tournament to commemorate two of the greatest wrestlers that ever lived: George Hackenschmidt and Mildred Burke…”

“Two of the greatest indeed…”, he said cutting me off.

“Yup. And I’m teaming up with this chick named Amy Marshall and we’re taking on the team of Jordan Williams and Odette Ryder.”, I went on.

“Among the three, Odette is the only person I’ve met so far. Odette is an awesome chick. She’s one of the first people that came up to me backstage last night and welcomed me to the promotion. She’s been really nice and she’s fun to be around. Kinda remind me of Vikki to be honest. She’s as bubbly too. She’s a great wrestler too and even though we’re on opposing sides, I can’t wait to have the best spot in the house that night to watch her do her thing. Her partner Jordan Williams is a fucking mountain of a man. He calls himself the “God” of professional wrestling and I wouldn’t doubt that because he’s built like a fucking Greek god. He stands 6’5 and weighs two hundred and fifty pounds of pure fucking muscle. But don’t let his size fool you, the guy is so agile and fast as he is strong. The guy utilizes a hybrid style of wrestling. He’s very technical and hard-hitting and uses his strength really well to overwhelm his opponents. He’s been known to bust out a high-flying move or two if necessary. So I have my work cut out for me.”, I went on as Jackson picked his phone from his pocket and began to fiddle on it.

“And it seems like you’re teaming with a former porn star?”, he said as he turned his phone to me. There it was, Amy Marshall’s wiki page. I took the phone and read the information that is written on the page.

“Interesting.”, I said as I handed him back his phone. “To be honest, I don’t really care about what she is in the past. All I care about is she’ll do her best in the ring so we could win this entire thing. Other than that, it’s her issue, not mine. Personally, I don’t really thing anyone care about it. I don’t think most wrestling fans look at that and condemn her for that. After all, there are people in this sport who have more fucked up past than she is.”, I continued.

Jackson nodded. “That’s true.”

“So yeah… It doesn’t really matter. All that matters to me is us working together to win this match and advance to the next round. As I said, we got our work cut out for us. I mean I know Amy will be able to handle Odette but I have to face a massive road block in Jordan Williams. I know I’ve faced a lot of those big, muscular guys before but none of them are as talented and skilled as Jordan. All I would have to do is keep my distance, use my speed and hopefully wear him out to the point that I will be able to hit and affect him with my impact attacks. But until then, I have to avoid him and his powerful attacks. If I can be able to do that, we have a great chance of winning this.”

“Let’s hope that you have your head straight that night and you’ll be able to focus. If not, then…”, he said with a concern tone.

“Oh I will be focus. You don’t have to worry about that. You know how competitive I am, Jackson. I don’t like losing so you know I’ll do whatever I can within the rules to win this match on Sunday. I don’t care if I have to sacrifice my will-being as long as I get the job done. And this Sunday, it will be no different. Me and Amy are going to win this match. I can guarantee you that.”

He nodded as we fell into silence.

“Now, let’s order. The servers are all looking at us. We’ve been here for thirty minutes and we havent really ordered anything besides sodas. I don’t want to get kicked out.”, I said chuckling.

“Yeah we should do that. I don’t want to get kick out either.”, he replied chuckling as well.

I nodded as I raised my hand to catch the attention of our server. He walked over to us with his notepad and asked us politely as we began to tell him our order.

Climax Control Archives / KROQ Interview
« on: January 19, 2013, 08:27:29 PM »
 This time last year, I was just a guy who walked into a wrestling school not knowing what I’m getting into. I was not a fan of the sport since I was a kid like any of the other guys in that little training facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California. I was a guy who went to his first wrestling show, an independent wrestling event in West Covina, California and immediately fell in-love with it. That show featured my friend and fellow skate-boarder Jackson Cade. Jackson Cade introduced me to that promoter of that show and his trainer, Scott Hayes. Scott Hayes invited me to try it out and the rest is history.

Scott put me through a lot of hardship. He broke me down mentally, physically and emotionally and really prepared me for the sport in case I decide to go through with it. To make the story short, I’ve loved the challenge that he presented to me each and every day I got through in between the ropes and I’ve developed a passion for it that I’ve only had so far that time for skateboarding. Right then and there, Ryan Lopez the skateboarded faded into obscurity and Ryan Kidd the high-flying, fearless professional wrestler was born.

After six months of training, Scott booked me in one of his shows. I wrestled my first match and I blew everyone away. People couldn’t believe that it was just my first match. They said I looked like I was doing it for years when I stepped in the ring and wrestled that night. Scott booked me every month since then and within a couple of months, I became one of the top pro wrestlers in the Southern California independent wrestling scene. I then started getting booked outside of Southern California. I branched out to Northern California, Washington, Oregon, anyplace they want me to be, I’m there. I’ve learned a lot in those first six months I was wrestling in and around the West Coast.

Then someone suggested to me to send my tape to Pro Wrestling X, an elite pro wrestling promotion based in Crown Point, Indiana. I was hesitating at first because I’ve heard about PWX from fellow workers and they’ve all said that some of the best wrestlers in the world wrestle for PWX. I’m just six months into my rookie year so I don’t know how I’m going to be able to cope up wrestling people who are miles away in experience compare to me. But thankfully, Scott and Jackson talked me in doing it so I did. A few days later, I found myself in an plane on my to Toronto, Canada for a try-out match with PWX. I went in there and did my thing and that’s it… That was the start of my journey.

That journey has taken me all over the United States and Canada wrestling some of the best professional wrestlers in the Western Hemisphere if not the world as after I signed with PWX, my career blew up and I then signed by an independent promotion based in the East Coast called Frontier Grappling Arts Wrestling. I’ve found success in both promotions as I am now one of the most popular wrestler on their respective roster.

I’ve had one hell of a year. I’ve traveled up and down the roads and fought hard to prove myself and show the wrestling world what I can do inside and out of the ring. I’ve had a wonderful journey so far. I’ve met a lot of new people. Met some new friends and made some enemies too. 2012 was a great year but I’ve only just began. 2013 will be a much better year and I can‘t wait to see what the year has in store for me as my journey has now taken me almost full circle. On January 20, my first anniversary in the sport of pro wrestling, I will make my return to my roots… I’m coming back to wrestle in the West Coast. But this time I’ve reach the Holy Grail of all of combat sports… I’ve reach the Sin City.

**********

[The famous Los Angeles-based radio station KROQ 106.7. “Make it Stop” by Rise Against is currently playing as we see the DJ for this timeslot, a guy in his mid-thirties wearing a Rancid t-shirt and jeans. In front of him across the DJ booth is the man we are all familiar with. He is wearing an light blue A Day To Remember t-shirt and a pair of ragged faded black jeans. They were both laughing at something as Ryan jammed to the song a little bit as it winded down to its end. The DJ then grabbed his headset as an intern handed Ryan’s his. Ryan put his headset on as they await for their cue. The song ended and the station ID played as the DJ made his intro.]

DJ: World famous KROQ 106.7 and you just listened to Rise Against’s “Make It Stop”. And as I promised you at the beginning of the show, we have ourselves a special guest here today. He has been making waves in the independent wrestling scene in the Midwest and the East Coast and this Sunday, he is bringing his brand of exciting pro wrestling to the West Coast as he will be making his debut at the Las Vegas-based promotion Sin City Wrestling. One of Southern California’s favorite son… RYAN KIDD!!

[The group of four people inside the studio that consisted of the producer, a couple of interns and the engineer all cheered for him. Ryan pulled the microphone closer to him as the cheers slowly died down.]

DJ: Ryan welcome to the show. So glad you could join us today.

Ryan: Thank you. I’m really stoked to be here today. It’s a dream come true for me to be interviewed on this station. I’ve been an avid listener of KROQ since I was a kid and it’s really awesome to be here live on-air on the radio station that I listened a lot growing up.

DJ: Thank you for kind words. First of all, how are you today?

Ryan: I’m doing great. I’m still a bit banged up from the brawl I had with AJ Fairchild last Wednesday at PWX’s Adrenaline show and still getting headaches here and there as an effect of the Piledriver to the ladder I took from AJ at FGA’s DVD taping…

[The DJ cut him off.]

DJ: Yeah I actually read about that while I’m doing my research about you. That was nasty, man.

[Ryan nodded.]

Ryan: It is. But I’ve recovered well and this Sunday I’m back inside the ring again.

DJ: And that match will be your debut match for Sin City Wrestling in which where you’ll be facing Daniel Tyler on their Climax Control show to be held at the Grand Ballroom of the Riverside Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada.

Ryan: Yup. I cant wait. I’m really excited to be going back to my roots and wrestling here in the West Coast again. What’s really interesting is though I’ve never really met Daniel Tyler personally yet nor have I been in the ring with him ever… But he’s somewhat familiar to me due to my connection to his sisters DanI and Tiami.

DJ: That’s right! You do know and work with them!

[Ryan nodded.]

Ryan: Yup. I knew and worked with Tiami in PWX in which where she was a former PWX World Tag Team champion with Jessica Harmony and young Dani just signed a contract with Frontier Grappling Arts Wrestling. So yeah it is a small world after all when you think about it. Who would’ve known that my first match in SCW will be against their brother.

[The DJ nodded.]

DJ: Yeah that really is mind-boggling…

Ryan: Indeed it is…

DJ: Anyways, I’ve done some research on Daniel Tyler and it looks like you have your work cut out for you. Besides the obvious size advantage and the experience advantage he has on you, this guy seems to be a really, really skilled technical wrestler. Now you’ve said before that you are not the most technical wrestler out there so with that said, how would you approach this match against him? What is your game plan for this match?

Ryan: I’ve watched some tapes and I’ve studied what he can do in the ring. Daniel Tyler is no slouch and you’re right… I do have my work cut out for me. But I’m ready. I’ve been in similar situations before where I’m going in to a match as the underdog and I’ve proved myself just by simply doing what I do best and that is to utilize my speed and by being smart and doing whatever I can to outwork my opponents in the ring. Yes, I may not be as experienced as Daniel but I’ve been all around the block this past year and I’ve been in the ring with some of the best wrestlers in the world. Win or lose, I’ve learned a lot from those past encounters and I’ve improved by leaps and bounds due to those lessons learned and I’m still working hard on improving more. I’m not stopping until I am the best wrestler in the world.

DJ: How important is this match to you?

Ryan: It’s very important. Despite it being a debut match, this is a big opportunity for me. An opportunity to make an impact almost immediately in SCW. An opportunity to show the promoters of SCW that they didn’t make a mistake in signing me to a contract. An opportunity to prove myself to them that I have what it takes to make it here in SCW. And I’m going to do whatever it takes to do that. I’m going to do whatever is necessary to put my name out there even if it takes me sacrificing my own body.

[We can see the intensity on Ryan’s eyes as he stare down the DJ.]

Ryan: I had a great 2012 and I’m hell-bent on making 2013 an even better year. I’m ready to be a top guy in this sport and my journey to the top will continue this Sunday night at Climax Control against Daniel Tyler.

[The DJ nodded as he composed his thoughts.]

DJ: Do you have any last message to the fans out there or even to your opponent this Sunday night.

[Ryan smirked.]

Ryan: I want to say something to Daniel Tyler. I want to say is I hope he is training hard. I hope he’s not taking me lightly. I hope he’s not spending all his time trying to antagonize every woman he sees. I hope he’s getting ready as much as I do for this match. I’m going into this match with a mission in mind and I’m going to do everything I can to accomplish that. You might have all the physical gifts, the skills and the pedigree in the world, Daniel but I can guarantee you that you will not deny me my heart and determination to become the best in this sport. I’m really excited.

[The DJ nodded as we can see the producer motioning a cutthroat gesture to signify that they are out of time for this interview.]

DJ: Well that’s all the time we have folks! If you are in the Laughlin, Nevada area, don’t forget to check out Ryan Kidd in action on Sin City Wrestling’s Climax Control show at the Grand Ballroom of the Riverside Hotel and Casino this Sunday night. We’d like to thank you Ryan for being here with us…

[Ryan cut him off as he answered.]

Ryan: Thank you too. It was an honor being here.

DJ: Meanwhile here’s Fozzy’s “Sandpaper” and we’ll be back with more music.

[Fozzy’s song “Sandpaper” began to play in the background. I removed my headset and put it on the table in front of me. I then stood up and shook the DJ’s hand. We then gathered around and took pictures with everyone to cap off my visit.]
