The time draws near, and with each tick of the clock, it draws closer and closer. Closer the day of redemption for many, closer to the final event at Final Four. The two has already completed one whole week, and they are now on their second week. Although the card has been set since the beginning of the week, not many of shown their face. Anticipation? Who really knows. It's not exactly like AWA in overcrowded either, so where have all the superstars disappeared too?

Last week, the world discovered just who was the best out of Michael Challenger and myself. It's a laugh really, because I do remember Michael Challenger guarenteeing a win against me in that No Disqualification match. As I do recall, Challenger said he had it in the bag, and he was going to prove to everyone exactly what he was capable of. Unfortunantly for Challenger, all he showed is that he was full of shit. Through all the talking that both of us did, and the constant threat that anyone could surprise us in the match, I was the one left standing in the middle of the ring.

Wait a second, I take that back, I wasn't the one left in the middle of the ring. True, I did come out of the match as the victor, but I was not the last one standing in the ring. If I wasn't the last one standing, then who could it have been? Anyone who actually watched the show could tell you it was actually Michael Challenger who stood in the ring last, conscious. The confusing reaction of people running from backstage, running through the crowd, just to get in the ring and attack someone else, was a pathetic display, it really was. King Flip runs out to attack me after I had put away Challenger, Jacobs attacks him, Corfield attacks him, Challenger attacks him and helps Fairservice up. That's pretty much the end of it.

So let me ask you a question, if Challenger has yet to win an actual match here in the HPW, then tell me why he is always the last one to be seen before the cameras go out. After the fiasco between Challenger, Meyer, Fairservice, and Corfield went down, Challenger was seen last in the middle of the ring, pinning Adam Meyer. That was last week. This week we saw Challenger standing in a heap of chaos in the ring, along side Dylan Fairservice. So if Challenger posses no obvious skills, seen thus far, why is he always the last one? I'll tell you why. Challenger is always seen last, because he has the advantage of having a member of management on his side. He has the partnership of Dylan Fairservice on his side.

But here is an even better question, what is going to happen this week? We'll see myself and Tyler Jacobs pair up for the second time to go up against King Flip and Michael Challenger. All participants in this match despise each other, we know that. The partners from one team hate each other just as much as the partners from the other team. So what role does Fairservice play in this match? In giving his little friend, Challenger, the win it also gives King Flip the win. So will Fairservice put over Challenger, even though that means helping out King Flip, as well? I sure as hell wouldn't.

"All hail King Flip, the man who is to pathetic to confront you face to face, the man who is to afraid of you that he results in cheap shots from behind. Flip, you must have a real low self-esteem if you have to attack someone after the match, and your biggest joke of the night was, that you believed it made you strong. Ha! That's a laugh. Attacking someone after they've just competed in a match, shows nothing Flip, and you are more idiotic of you believe it does. Wait, no, I take that back. It shows you're to much of a pussy to face them one on one. So do you know what I believe? Do you know what everyone believes? They believe you're afraid. You're afraid of me. You're afraid of Tyler Jacobs. You're afraid of Michael Challenger. Now that's funny"

By now, anyone who has watched atleast one show hosted by the HPW, knows the voice. If you don't, then I suggest you continue watching this segment. At the moment, I occupy a certain comedy joint, somewhat of a stand-up bard of sorts. There are certain comedic acts such as plain old stand-up, voices, or even vantrilaquists. Some of them are quite good actually, but then again, an equal amount of them are booed off the stage. A bunch of drunks are apparently a tough audience, they tend to throw things.

"That's probably why you attempt to make all these jokes about everyone. You attempt to hide your fear by cracking a few jokes here and there, making a big laugh out of this whole situation. You know better than anyone Flip, that this is not just some joke.

Pulling something from behind my back, I soon reveal that it is a dummy. It sort of looks like a replica of the dummy that was on all of those Goosebumps shows and written in the books. Slappy, I believe his name was when he occupied the cast. He was suppose to be some sort of dummy used in a vantrilaquist act but the person when his hand up his back, wouldn't be talking for him. Long story short, he's alive and tries to kill everyone, just because he can. Yeah, he has the whole psycho killer look going on.

"As I have said before, it always comes back to the past. Recently, King Flip has brought up his partner's loss to Jacobs and myself. So you believe that just because you have more skills than the chump that partnered Challenger before, that you are assured a win? Ha! That's a laugh. What makes you so sure of this, Flip? As you may recall Flip, considering you obviously know so much about this match, it was Jacobs who got the pin on Challenger. If Jacobs can take out Challenger, then what makes you think our team won't take out yours? It's already been proven that I can defeat Jacobs, so nobody believes you when you make your stupid comments, Flip."

Looking back at the dummy known only as 'Slappy', I quickly decide that maybe I will try my hand at some vantriliquism. It always came across as a bit freaky to me. "Yeah, I make it look like an inanimate object is talking to me, and I'm having a conversation with it, which actually makes it look like I'm a psycho because I'm talking to a freaky looking doll. Oh wait, ha! I fooled you all. It was actually me who was talking, not the stupid doll on my arm. Ha! Wasn't that funny?" Yeah, as I said, it's always seemed a bit freaky to me, but then again, it's also the fact that makes it interesting and intriguing. So I felt a bit stupid as I smiled and attempted to make it look like the dummy was talking.

"Nobody laughes at your stupid immature jokes, Flip. They do laugh, I am not arguing that, but they do not laugh at your jokes. What they do laugh at, is your stupidity, your stupidity in expecting yourself the biggest superstar in HPW, your stupidity in expecting this weeks and all weeks to come, are going to be a breeze. It's hiliarious, really."

I'll be the first to tell you that vantriliquism isn't as easy is it looks. I mean, you'd think you'd easily make it look like a stupid doll was talking instead of you, but oh no, it's way harder than it looks. I still believe it to be an incredily stupid and pointless occupation, but I respect them.

"I realize you're some big star in some other federation, but that doesn't count here. I realize that you've won World Championships in the past, but nobody cares here. You've never gone up against me, and you're stupider than I thought, if you believe it won't take any effort to beat me."

That's exactly what I hated about the buisness, there were people underestimating you and judging you everywhere you went. Back in DW, I wrestled with some of the best, ultimately losing to Ryan York but it still doesn't change the fact that I wrestled with him. Then there was the little fact that I dethrowned Ralph O. Morris, and gave the Pit Championship a real home on my shoulder. Even with all of this, I was still underestimated. Then we have HPW, which I am still undefeated in. Let's say I win the Final Four, and take home the HPW World Heavyweight Championship. Will it really change anything, or will people continue to underestimate the champion?

Leaving the dummy there, and walking away, I couldn't help but wonder who the real fool was.

Gone.
