Stakes |
Yes yes. It is I, THE INSIDER. This article was scheduled to be
about the going ons of High Stakes. And it will be. But it will
be a little more specific than that. It will be about the impact
that the Forefathers caused backstage on the weekend.
After the night was over I, THE INSIDER, went and spoke to a few
EPW wrestlers and officials about the situation.
“That was a horrible night for us,” said an unnamed backstage
official. “The entire night was thrown into chaos by the
Forefather’s actions. And Burbank let his temper get the better
of him. The Forefathers have now proven that they can manipulate
a senior official by goading him into action.”
The official went on, “Not only that but they won at the end of
the night. Jack thought he had one upped them but at the end of
the day, they walked away with the gold. This whole situation
has made them more dangerous than ever because they now believe
that noone can touch them.”
I, THE INSIDER, then had a chat to the Captain of the Young
Guns, Chris J Lazareth. He was still in considerable pain but
his temper had cooled and he was keen to try and make sense of
the whole situation.
“I blame myself,” CJL said, “For starters I should have never
agreed to captain the team when I didn’t have 100% trust in one
of the members. As a team we should have approached the Board
and had AZ thrown off the team before the night.”
“But after my leg was injured, I just snapped and made a
reckless decision that cost us the match. We were dressed but we
weren’t in the correct mind frame as we were expecting to
wrestle at the end of the night. The Forefathers had
pre-meditated the whole situation and were ready for exactly
what we threw at them.”
Word has it that a few members of the young brigade in EPW were
more than a little miffed at being left off the team as well.
Most notably, Michael Morleone.
“Those idiots on the Board and CJL left me off the team and they
paid for it,” Morleone said. “I showed what I could do tonight.
I beat a wrestler who has been here from the start. The European
Union are sick of being passed over.”
Let’s not mince words here. People can make excuses for the
Young Guns. BobbyBadBlood and Tommy Cartel would have been sure
thing selections for this team, if not for injury and absence,
but a shortage of talent wasn’t the problem on the night. It was
a lack of foresight and planning from both the Board and the
team.
Quite simply, everyone has underestimated the Forefathers.
People expected them to roll over and play dead. I, THE INSIDER,
think that the people who believe this had better look back at
the history of this federation.
This group of men is made up of the ELITE of professional
wrestling in this country. Jimmy Payne is a two time EPW
champion and the first ever EPW Invitational tournament winner.
Davis Storm is the very first EPW champion in history and a two
time EPW tag team champion. Jag is one half of the current EPW
tag team champions and is arguably the most talented wrestler
this country has ever produced. And Nate Dooley and Xeriyous
Blade are original members of the Explosive Coastal Wrestling
roster who both know what it is like to control this federation
while holding the power of the chairman of the EPW Board of
Directors.
EPW wrestlers and officials. WAKE UP!! You expect them to just
fade away? That is the exact reason they believe they are
fighting you in the first place. The Forefathers were formed
because they believed that the younger generation of wrestler
were receiving preferential treatment and that officials were
trying to squeeze them out of the main event picture in EPW.
Whether or not what they believe is true is completely
irrelevant at this point. They are running wild and it will take
a united stand from the remains of the roster to put up any
resistance to this force. Wrestlers and officials alike must put
their egos aside and show these men that they can fight the
psychological war as well as the physical one.
And to the men who can, they had better dig their heels in and
prepare for a prolonged assault. Because the Forefathers
certainly will be.
And that is all the news from I, THE INSIDER. |
