I’m not going to be Donny Geiger and bother going to an empty locker room and putting on this big, scary, FAKE costume showing that he’s a tough guy. In fact, my camera crew will come to my hotel room and set it all up for me. Cause they can do that because I pay them a very nice amount of money to do just that. Check it though…
“Action!”
Looking down at the floor I begin laughing hysterically with my hair covering my face. I stop laughing and look up at the camera with a smile on my face and I push my hair out of my face never straying away from the camera.
“Donny boy!”
I say the name with a smile as if I were calling to a child.
“I feel the love. I feel the love and man does remind me, in a strange way, of the way that pain feels. You don’t seem to think that we can get along with each other? That’s a shame… It really is because truth be told, I can get along with just about anybody… That is, I used to be able to get along with just about anybody. See, I used to be able to shrug off what people said about me and not have a care in the world. Then I came back here, to the wonderful world of… crap.”
No longer smiling, I am serious now.
“I came back at New Years Mayhem to start from the very bottom and work my way back up to very tip top and last week may not have gone the way I wanted it to go but I’ve got a theory that this episode of ShutOut is going to be very, very different for the two… Or should I say four of us? You see Donny, I understand what having a group to watch your back is all about and I also understand that when you have one with guys like TJ Bryce in it that are willing to do just about anything for themselves… Well I just don’t see it working out for you this week.”
I look behind me and make sure that I am near the bed before sitting down.
“See I caught your promo and I listened, I really listened to everything that you had to say and you know the one thing that I just couldn’t shake was that feeling of arrogance and cockiness that came off of you. You really think so little of me that you have to resort to calling me on not getting the job done against Addams? Or the fact that I am just about as insane as you can get without being committed? But you know what my favorite part of the whole thing was? Do you really want to know? Cue up the footage boys…”
Footage cuts over me and shifts to Donny’s promo for a moment.
"Who’s brilliant idea was it two pit Rocket and I – who are certainly far from being friends – against an experienced Tag Team? As I said, individually, I would most likely have no problem beating them both…”
Footage cuts back to a shot of me scratching my head for a second.
“Guys can we rewind that clip one more time and focus a little bit more towards that last little bit?”
The footage of me cuts back out and we see Donny again on screen.
“I would most likely have no problem beating them both…”
We cut back to the footage of me now standing with a smile on my face.
“Donny, if you didn’t want any help all you had to do was say so. You see, I’m not the bad guy here… Really I’m not. I am however the guy that will make sure that you not only walk out there without a partner to face Rich and Addams but I’m also that guy is going to make sure they take your undefeated streak and not only piss on it but shit on it as well.”
I shudder at the thought of watching that spectacle.
“You see Donny G, I don’t give a damn about some silly loss that happened last week. The match was pointless, just as pointless as this weeks match where it’s said that we’re supposed to be ‘partners’ and you know for the life of me I just can’t imagine why someone like me wouldn’t want to team with you. Really, it seems like we would surely win with you doing all the work against a team like Scotty and Tonerino and you know what? I think that maybe exactly what happens because if WWoW management thinks I am showing my face around the same parts as you… huh, well then they’ve got another thing coming.”
I cock my head to the side.
“I’m a man of my word. See, it’s occurred to me that really the only person needed to partner up with Donovan Geiger is Donny himself. Why wouldn’t the guy? He’s the Destruction Champion, he’s got this Mega-powers group with Bryce and he just so happens to have one Destiny Rivers in his back pocket… Or is that his front pocket?”
I wink at the camera.
“Who gives a crap if I even show up, right? Surely Donny can do all the work against guys like Rick and Addams. I mean they’re only one of the greatest Tag Teams in quite sometime going up against Dono and… Wait a minute… F*ck Donovan Geiger! I don’t need his bullshit and he’s not going to get any of mine either. Here it is, laid out plain and simple so that you can understand it without having to decipher anything.”
I stand up and place my hand over my heart.
“My name is The Rocket and I have a problem… It’s recently come my attention that I am clinically insane and should be locked up for the betterment of society. Due to my having this incredible revelation I am going to be unable to be Donovan Geiger’s partner at this weeks upcoming ShutOut. I apologies to all of my fans that were expecting to see me compete, it’s just not the best time in my life to be putting myself in harms way and by stepping into the ring with Tony Rich and Scott Addams I would be risking permanently damaging my already insane and erratic behavior.”
I look down at the floor and as I do I begin crying. Is everything I just said the truth?
“I’m sorry Donny boy. Looks like your gonna have to give this one a go all by your lonesome. Give my best to the wife and kids and the Destruction Championship, as I’m sure it’s going to miss me while I’m going thru this business of being clinically insane…”
I begin to chuckle and laugh kind of sadistically before I look up at the camera with my face wet and smiling.
“Had you didn’t I? We’re facing a team that is probably going to be named one of the best teams in the history of this company and you come at me with this bullshit talk about how you are the leader of this team and that you could very easily beat Rich and Addams by your damn self? That’s really the way you want to play this game with me Donovan?! You want to play games? Okay, we can play all the games you want to play. See I am going to sit my happy ass right here in this hotel room and until I hear you say that you were wrong and that you didn’t mean any of what you said, I am going to sit my happy ass right in this hotel room.”
I wipe the wetness away from my face; I’m not smiling anymore. I am dead serious.
“You’ll be the one in charge huh? Bet you just didn’t know how right you were going to be when you said that. You can play tough guy all you want but I won’t be standing in that corner when you need a tag and it’s all going to be your fault. This weeks edition of ShutOut is going to be a MUST SEE because you’re going to see The Rocket let all of his fans down.”
I look at the floor once again.
“Turn that damn thing off.”
With those final words, the image cuts out quickly.
