I've been over the top all my life. You look at my career dating back to 2007 outside of the XWF and this is the only place that still remains on the radar. I've traveled far and wide. Even managed to become CULT New World Champion at 40 years old. The fact that a man like who shouldn't even be walking let alone wrestling managed to climb to the top. Now, I am back in the XWF after a long time away.
I figured it was over but you can never keep a guy like me. I will probably wrestle until I drop. That is when my ending hits. The life i've lived and the scars all over my body. Growing up like I did. The one man that ever truly gave me attention was in a haze like I have been most of my life. I just hope Norm Green is doing okay wherever he is. I know the Earth Mother is watching over me as I prepare for what is gonna be a tough fight. No matter how many ways you slice this.
Blizzard is an XWF Legend. I mean, What other reason would I lay down the challenge myself? The fact that I am one of the few from a bygone era who may never be recognized as that top tier talent. As that guy who dealt with as many tragedies that really tests the mettle of man. That is okay at the end of the day. I know my fans are still out there and wanna see me do something crazy.
This is what I live for at this point. I got nothing to go home to. The fact I even have a decent apartment in Boston is nothing short of a miracle. All that tragedies that have befallen me in my 41 years of life. That couldn't stop me from moving forward. Willing to step into that ring. Watching my uncle die from cirrhosis at 18 years old. He left me all his money that funded The Bus Ride. That got me to millionaire status as a filmmaker. Now its just a footnote in my career. That money faded as fast as it came. I didn't have that magic up my sleeve to keep it going once the magic was exposed.
Finding out Tessie died in 2011 after all the money was gone. She deserved much better than me. I admit I have my many flaws. Adulterer. Drinker. But I would have never swung on her like that piece of shit did. That is why when he got on a technicality in 2012. I drove from Boston to Henderson to get my revenge. I was completely sober and still remember that moment when I beat his brains in all over the streets. I may have served a couple months in jail but for that, But It was fuckin' worth it.
Just like Randi dumping me was understandable. She wanted something I may never truly be. Somebody completely sober. That relationship was awesome for 2 years. Two people getting drunk nonstop and just understanding the situation without any judgement. She wanted to be sober. I respected that. She left. That is the one that hurts almost as much as losing Tessie in my life. Tessie may have been the love of my life even if it was superficial at times. She wanted the money but she also had expectations I failed to meet. The only ironic thing in all that was she wound up in a worse situation. I even paid for her funeral myself even though we weren't together anymore.
There is clearly something wrong with me that will never truly be repaired. I am stuck in an infinite wrestling loop even as I get older. The fans seem to never disappear. My body aches. My right knee is just pure bone on bone at this point. I am missing my left eye due to battle against Chasm many years ago.
Blizzard, You better be ready for this fight. Time to step into the forge and see what I am capable of even in my advancing age. Craft this battle like I'm J Nielson forging a blade. Give you everything I got and end it with a Doug Marcaida finish. It doesn't always have to be a technical showcase in the ring. Just go as hard as David Baker swinging a contestant's knife into an antler. The only difference is you may not even survive a battle against me.
Been outside the business for quite a few months. Figured I was due to making another return to the XWF even if it means eating some crow a bit. CULT faded into obscurity. My home gone yet the XWF remains. I carried the CULT New World Championship and defended it with integrity. Something most people lack nowadays.
I don't even know how I am still going and I will probably die at some point in the ring. Might as well take everyone along with my ride. I don't wanna stop. So get ready, Miami! I am coming to bring the violence at Relentless!

Rainier, WA
The scene opens up inside of a dimly lit hotel where we see Barney Green, dressed in a black t-shirt with black shorts and shoes. Barney reaches into the hotel fridge as "Good Vibrations" starts to play on the radio. We see Louis Stevenson, exit from the bathroom. Dressed in navy blue shirt with black suspenders and black khakis, He walks towards Barney as Barney goes to speak.
Barney: Hey, Skunk. I am grateful you managed to make this trip out to Rainier with me.
Skunk: No problem at all, Barney. Shame Bob couldn't make it on this trip.
Barney: He can't always travel like we can. I am still a wrestler while you are that same drifter years later.
Barney grabs the peace medallion and places it around his neck.
Skunk: Guilty as charged, Barn! Any reason why it seems like that song keeps playing on the radio?
Barney: Lets just say an old friend is watching over me in a way.
Skunk: You still believe in that? Once you drop, There is nothing waiting for you.
The radio starts smoking and catches fire as we see Barney quickly open up a can of White Claw and pours it on the radio. The fire rises as the alcohol engulfs in flames. The Skunk quickly unplugs the radio and runs to the door. He opens it and throws it over the balcony. The Skunk walks back in as Barney cracks over another White Claw. Barney takes a swig from it. Chuckling in the process as The Skunk goes to speak.
Skunk: Gotta love that cheap made in china crap. Only you would try to pour alcohol on an electrical fire.
Barney: I don't have any water. You can't really hate on The Beach Boys. They are timeless just like the era of Peace, Love, and Understanding.
Skunk: Is there any reason you keep wearing that Peace Medallion?
Barney takes another swig of his White Claw while the Skunk goes into the fridge and grabs a soda. Barney goes to speak.
Barney: It belonged to an old friend of mine that died years ago. He was the embodiment of the 70's.
Skunk: Let me guess. He was a stoner who said the most random observations about life in general and ended every sentence with man.
Barney: Yep. Good old Jeff Night. He never met a blunt he didn't like and always showed up to manage his clients down to the ring. May he rest in peace as I carry on his legacy.
The Skunk takes another swig of his soda as Barney continues speaking.
Barney: That was the guy who could talk people into the building and gave me an insight into the why of the wrestling business. Why do I wanna fight this guy?
Barney takes another swig of his white claw and throws the empty can into the trash.
Skunk: Only you would befriend a person like that. Reminds of that time I had to do IT for a hippie compound.
Barney: You don't say.. Care to tell me how that ends.
Skunk: It ended with me convincing them that I wasn't the right person for that job and to just hire the local cable company to do it. So many naked people.
The Skunk shudders as Barney goes to speak.
Barney: I believe that. At least Jeff Night wasn't like that. Dude just liked to get high and preach the value of patience. May he rest in peace.
Skunk: Any reason to why you decided to come back to wrestling?
Barney: I figured it was time. I am grateful for all the time away. Getting to travel to Rainier with my friends and have a good time.
Barney gets up off the bed and grabs the keys.
Skunk: Its always a blast traveling with you. I still didn't expect to have such a blast in Rainier of all places.
Barney: It truly is a nice play to visit. Its also nice not being under contract like a lot of other people. I can wrestle when i feel like it and enjoy my off time.
Barney walks towards the door of the room and goes to exit as The Skunk follows suit.
Skunk: I feel like a nice burger and maybe hit that bowling alley again.
Barney: The streak might continue. The Barn Man winning another frame.
