Chapter 3

I had always grown up in a wrestling family. My grandparents were both world champions in the sport. They fought in cage fighting to validate their prowess as athletes, and to show that pro wrestling wasn’t fake. My granddad told me before he died that he had suffered more injuries from wrestling than he ever received, as a fighter. But some never believed him and made fun of his profession. My dad is a twenty time world heavyweight champion in both wrestling and MMA. His combined time, as a champions was over twenty years with countless defenses.

Dad is starting to slow and isn’t as agile as he once was.

He told me one day,”Son, I may never reach my peak again, but I will eat up all the money on the way down. Know your worth son and never forget it!”

I never did and once I graduated from college I asked him to set me wrestle full time. I had done some part time work to help pay my way through college. I love it from day one.

Day was in his office that day when he gave me the gimmick that I would start wrestling under.

It was red flair!

Chapter 4

Rumble and Flair were both out cold, as everyone was in the crowd screaming, Medical staff was carting the young tag team off to the back. James and Anna were crying overseeing their son being injured.

Anna spoke, "Those bastards killed my baby!"

James only held his wife closely.

The moonshiners were in the ring being interviewed when screams could be heard in the back of the crowd.

The front of the crowd turned to see what was going on.

It was Rumble and Flair!

Their heads were both covered in blood.

They were walking back to the ring.

People were horrified at the sight of the two young men forcing themselves.

The moonshiners’ jaws had both hit the floor, as the rival team climbs back into the ring.

The tag team was chomping at the bit to get at the moonshiners

The ref shouted, "Boys, you are done!"

The boys were about to knock the ref out when the fans yell out with glee.

It was the old withered promoter who walked out to the ringside.

He pulled out a microphone and said, "Boys, are ready to go again?"

Rumble and Flair were both out on their feet, but they still were able to shout out, "Damn straight!"

The bell rang and the match started immediately.

The whole crowd was silent at the toughness of the new team.

Rumble and Flair were fighting more aggressive than they had ever down before. They were

using the speed advantage they had over the fatsos. The smaller team was kicking nonstop on the Cleetus and Rufus’ legs.

Rufus and Rumble were inside the ring, while the other wrestlers were on the outside. Humble is kicking his foe in the thigh nonstop.

Rumble climbs up to the farthest corner and jumps down to drop kicking Rufus in his left knee.

The fat man struggled to get back up as the smaller man curb stomps the knee into oblivion.

Rumble locks Rufus into a sharpshooter and puts pressure on his bad leg.

Rufus screams out, "You are not gonna make me quit!"

The moonshiners crawled over to his corner, but no one was there.

Red Flair has choked out Cleetus.

Rufus had forced Rumble to rope break in which the Ref had to enforce.

Cleetus knee was kicked into oblivion to the point where the moonshiner was unable to defend himself.

The ref stopped the match and Rumble kicked Cleetus out of the ring.

The announcer rushed into the ring with a mike, when Rumble grabs the mike.

"Get these fat asses out of our ring! This ring is for real athletes and not damn gimmicks. I have spent the last sixteen years in combat sports busting all sorts of asses! Flair gets in the ring and tells this pencil neck the truth."

The tag partner comes in and takes the microphone.

“My family raised me to love wrestling and my dad is a world champion.”

The crowd goes, "Whew!"

"There is no room for jokers in the business that my uncle died for! We gave his life in the ring showing how real the sport is!"

“Flair brothers,” goes the crowd.

The aged promoter has tears in his eyes over the mentioning of the fallen Flair brother.

Rumble takes the mike backed and says, "We are the new badass team call, Kasai Tori!"

The microphone is dropped and the two walked to the back.

The medical staff is trying to get the pair into a nearby ambulance and the duo are fighting the medics tooth and nail.

#

The bearded promoter was walking towards the back when feels several hands grabbing his suit, At first, he tries to walk it off, but the hands follow along his heavyweight frame. He turns to see two people grabbing him with tears in their eyes.

He speaks, "I am Greg Anderson the boss..."

Several young boys grabbed the couple as they prepare to drag the pair out.

The boss yells, "Stop it, I will deal with them in the back.

#

Greg leads Anna and James to the back and sees Kasai Tori making a hell of a scene.

Anderson yells, "Guys stop it!"

Everybody but Rumble and Flair has stopped in their tracks.

Gregg grabs the two men up into his arms, while the team is helpless to do anything about it.

The team calm down and is put back down on the ground.

Anna and James scream out, "Rumble, you have to stop or you will die! We can't lose you again!"

Greg figures out that these people are Rumble’s folks.

Rumble is still out on his feet, but he still knows who is talking to him.

He says, "What are you doing here? I am fine!"

James spoke, "You are going to a hospital!"

Rumble spoke, "The hell I am! I am going to win this tournament with flair! The tag partner yells out, "Yeah!"

The promoter spoke, "Most bosses would send you two to the hospital, but I watched my friend die in the ring his second. I tried to stop the match by throwing in the towel, but he grabbed it and threw it over to the crowd. He died just minutes later with a smile on his face."

The old man was crying.

Flair spoke, "You're talking about my uncle? You were his best friend, besides my dad."

Rumble spoke, "He was found out after his death t

o have terminal brain cancer. He died a warrior's death. What a man!"

Greg spoke, "I won't stop you two from continuing in the tournament, but I will stop you if you get in a spot like you did with the moonshiners! I can't put these people through the same thing I was forced to do. Is that clear?"

The two men both yell” Yes” as they are lead to the medical room for treatment. The concerned parents of Rumble are following along.
