Time Can Fly RP 1 - Barney Green - 08-27-2019
This is the busiest I have been in years. But I welcome the challenge. Gotta step through Fuzz first then Matt Sharp and after that. Hell on earth literally. Staring down four other people that want their shot at the Hart Title.
The nervousness and trepidation running through my body right now. I know I am not the weakest person in this match but that's like saying sticking your dick in a beehive is less painful than sticking it a hornet's nest.
But you look at Mark Brooks first. He is the only name that I know I can beat easily at this point in my career. Even a broken-down husk of a man like myself vying for one last opportunity to achieve greatness can beat this guy. Not much is known about him. I am not afraid of him. You are looking at a man who has been through hell and back.
A man who has lost just about everybody he considered family over the years. Yet here I stand. Ready for battle. Ready to fight. Ready to prove to everyone that I got one last trick up my sleeve. The music blares through my ears as I hit the gym. I gotta keep myself in the best shape I can.
Scully. The king of
. The one guy that took me to my limit way back in 2016 when I challenged for his Universal Championship. Don't let the nickname fool you. This guy is not as stupid as he seems. He is just as cunning and conniving as a snake. He will make you look foolish.Centurion. We go back a long time. Even if we are on opposing sides, I hope that you do the world a favor and beat Shane
's brain to jello. Enough said on that. September 26th, 2012. We squared off in a Steel Cage Match on Warfare. Nobody thought I was capable of hanging with the big boys and I proved I could even though I lost. You wanna talk about accolades. You are somebody worthy of being a Hall Of Famer plain and simple. Nothing but respect for everything you have accomplished and to come back and perform at that same level is amazing to me.
I know I feel like shit most days and walk like I am 45 despite only being 35 years old. I got a pain in my right knee that never goes away. Each day and the pain just intensifies but I will keep plugging away until I physically can't anymore.
Azrael Erebus. The one person that truly puts the fear of god in me. I thought I was a violent person until I saw what this fucker was capable of in the ring. You wanna play those kinds of games with me. Bring it. I always got one last card in the deck of life.
I am the biggest sinner alive and I ain't ashamed of what I have done. Whether it be drinking the nights away or getting fucked by a transgirl while bent over the side of the bed. I revel in all my misdeeds. I am Barney Allison Green.
But sometimes, I sit and wonder if it was truly worth it? I am a household name for better or worse but at what cost? Foley Anderson died in 2012. The guy was like a father to me. Jeff Night died in 2018. May his star continue shining brightly in the afterlife. If I never got into wrestling, Things would probably be much different.
I eventually probably would've stopped drinking because what would be the point when you are in charge of a major production company like I was. I admit I have cracked under pressure over the stress. We all have hit plenty of bumps in life. Believe me on that one. I am the guy that against all odds became a main event star in the lull period of the XWF.
People were leaving like flies in 2012 until Shane
took over and saved it from complete closure. When you are depending on me as World Champion back then. That is when you know there is a problem. I was in a position of failure. I wouldn't have even trusted me with the X-Treme Title back then. I was out drinking and having a good old time without a care in the world. My whole career has been one fluke after another.
I am in the twilight years of my career. I know I am not gonna get any better than what I am already at. Age has hit me hard. All those minor injuries now working against you as time goes on. This is perhaps my last shot at a title of any kind unless I somehow win the X-Treme Title but knowing Soldier, He has that under lock and key.
So I step into slaughter one more time to prove that I can still go. That all the sins of my past are just that, the past. Look at all the other names who have faded into obscurity over the years. Yet with the exception of a few names during the
era, I am one of the only ones who stuck it out.The rest of you all just went elsewhere and declared this company dead while people like me, Jose Chavez and a few other's were fighting to see its survival. As much as I hate Shane
and despise him as a person, He was the owner that saved it all when Jonathyn walked away. Here I stand going the gauntlet yet again. Time to down another bottle of White Claw and hope for the best. At my age, it doesn't get any easier knowing that I could be replaced at any moment.
I am Barney Allison Green and this is my last shot. I am okay with that though. Come Warfare, to quote Ryou Bakari Itemri, "What will you sacrifice when you got nothing left to lose?" Only time can tell.
The scene opens up inside of a hotel room where we see Barney Green, dressed in a black t-shirt and red flannel pajama bottoms, sitting on the edge of the bed. Next to him is Ryou Bakari Itemri, dressed in a white t-shirt and black pajama pants. Barney goes to speak.
Barney: I don't know how much more I can take on the road. I am pretty sure my end is coming soon.
Ryou: We all go through moments of self-doubt. Its what proves we are still human. Only you can make the decision to retire when the time is right or your body does it for you. I know I had a couple more years left in me and could probably still compete but for what?
Ryou pauses as Barney goes to speak.
Barney: I completely understand what you are saying. I personally feel that I got at least another month or so left in me. I guarantee that.
Ryou: Just remember everything that Foley Anderson and Jeff Night have told you.
Barney: I haven't forgotten and I am glad that you were willing to join me for this leg of my journey. Whatever differences we may have had, Just note that we will be friends for life and I never held it against you.
Ryou: Life is about growing up and its too short to spend time hating you for what you are.
Ryou pauses as Barney nods and continues speaking.
Ryou: In my 48 years of existence and my 20 years of wrestling experience, you do reach a certain point where you just can't go anymore. Every wrestler has that bump card. Seeing the way you wrestled, Your card has been notched numerous times. Meanwhile, I am still relatively healthy for the most part. Granted, I did wrestle a few hardcore matches here and there but never nothing as extreme as you.
Ryou stops and Barney goes to speak.
Barney: You are absolutely right. It was a case of me being more of the common man and watching my bookings increase with the insanity I brought to the table. People wanted to see me perform these crazy bumps and use crazy weapons.
Barney pauses and reaches onto the nightstand and grabs a bottle of water. He unscrews the cap and takes a swig from it as Ryou goes to speak.
Ryou: While I was the opposite, I was the undersized guy at 5'9 and 175 lbs. I was supposed to be the high flyer but that was never my forte. My forte was just straight brawling like yours was but I did it a different way. No need to use weapons unless necessary.
Barney: Exactly. We both been down this road for different reasons. Granted, I thought I had that entrepreneurial spirit and ability but it led to nothing.
Ryou: You made a few mistakes but that's okay. At least you gave your effort at the end of the day.
Barney places the water bottle back onto the nightstand and climbs out of bed. He goes to speak again.
Barney: You are right. The only thing that I have had any measure of success in is pro wrestling and that's what has brought me to the dance.
Ryou: Now that's the old Barn I knew talking. Whatever demons you got inside yourself, You better learn to control them. Take it from one person to another. We are all afflicted with certain demons that flood our judgment.
Barney: Let's head out to get some food and then prepare for whatever comes our way.
The scene fades to black as Barney and Ryou continue chatting.
