some in this business say that a measure of a man, or woman, is how they handle defeat, some handle it badly, very badly. Me? I never saw the point in handling it badly
We work in a business where three things are certain, one you'll accomplish wins, two you'll suffer losses and three no matter if it's a win or a loss you're damn sure gonna be sore after every match.
The wrestling business is a strange one, you'll see guys who get cocky and egomaniacal after achieving just one win but as soon as they lose they walk out the door, trying to remain on their high horses but looking like complete fools as they do. Ultimately they all fall from those high horses and end up looking worse for that than they do for losing.
Losses happen, its life, its wrestling and its morethan 2 months since i lost. Do I like it? oh yeah, Of course . Am I complaining for the losses of the past? Not on your life. I don't dwell on past losses, no, I learned a long time ago there was no point in that, it happens, its life, its wrestling. A real star doesn't whine, complain and walk out the door, a real star picks themselves up, dusts themselves off and looks towards the future.
I, BOBBY ZI, am a real star and the future is the XWF.
BOBBY was indeed not a man that would let a loss get him down, after all he wasn’t pinned or made to submit anyway for the last 5 matches he always ended up with victory. he may have not gotten that he wish to have, X-title or UNIV-Championship match with Theo pryce but he did have a shot at the big one at WARFARE,with one of the greats, STEVE DAVIDS.
This week warfare is taking place in LA california, usually zi was the first one in to hit the town that hosted the weeks show but not this time, no, bobby was currently in his Seattle Washington home, his new home, where he’d just finalized his home gym.
We join in that said gym, doing chin ups on the weight bar..
“Here we go again, here we go… stevens !”
Bobby dropped down from the bar, grabbing a towel and wiping off his forehead. He moved over to his bench, sitting down on it. He grabbed an apple from his gym bag as he looked up a picture of his best friend Joe powell on the wall
“You know Joe, I have to do this, this time it’s different, I got nothing to lose except for the match and I just cant lose the match. I have to be the one to beat steve, I just have to be the one to end this?”
Bobby starts to shine the apple up with his sleeve
“Everyone backstage in XWF wants me to do this, it’s a lot of pressure but pressure is something I thrive on. I just feeling like I’m representing the entire roster, all but steve obviously. They’re rallying behind me, they want change, they need change, davids was one of the most dominant star in this business, he is this business but I cant let that stop me, not this time. I respect davids , probably more than most people but respect cant stop me doing what I need to do to cement my spot as a future hall of famer”
“”Respect was always a big thing with me, even when I was hated by the fans of this business I always had respect. I respect steve davids but this time I need to think of my career more, I have the chance to be the leader of change, I have the chance to be the man..”
“STEVE DAVIDS, he’s at the top and he’s been there for over two years. Change, things need to change. I, BOBBY ZI, need to be the one to change it. If I cant do it, I don’t think there’s anyone out there that can”
“This Lethal Brawl, it isn’t just about that match, no. It’s also about the 'STREAK Vs CAREER' ”
“steve, I’m coming”
Bobby zi saw the picture of his friend hanging on the wall again. As he finished the apple he packed up his gym bag, zipping it shut tight. There was a knock on the wooden door of the room, bobby knew who it was..
As Bobby opened the door,Just as he expected he saw steve sayors standing on the other side. ZI shook James’ hand and invited him in to his private gym
“Nice to see you sayors!”
“I really don’t see why we couldn’t have done this at the UWF headquarters or even in Las Vegas bob”
“Because I want to do things my way for once”
steve looked a little annoyed at zi’s tone but followed him to the seats that were prepared for the two, they sat down, Bobby with a smile on his face..
“Well BOBBy, when we spoke last time, you requested this time in your own home on your own time , so let’s get down to business”
“Ask your questions then stevy, I know the XWF fans have been sending you questions they wish to ask me”
“Well BOBBY, I guess it should be asked first and foremost, are you ready for STEVE DAVIDS?
“Ughh..Why wouldn’t I be?”
“so, this will be your toughe…”
BObby holds his hand up to stop sayors from talking..
“Hold on there man, let me stop you. I know what you’re gonna say sayors and you’re right... steve will be my toughest test yet, i have faced the current superstar of the month, mastermind twice and took a win on both. Maybe thats the highest challenge i ever faced but i answer that with a bigger action, I killed BIG JOE's caerer from the very start, Lucious fyre,jobber joe and that aphrodite named joey hawkins, I killed all of there carrers.. where are they now stevens? They’d be done, they’d have retired and even if they had not retired they’d go nowhere near me again in fear of history repeating itself, not me”
Bobby continued on
“The fact of the matter is steve has run roughshod through the XWF for many years, he’s dominated this business and taken out everyone who stood in his way. That was the old davids though, things are different now, am not just going for a win but i'll try my very best to make sure that davids wont step to XWF's ring ever after this match. that just goes to show that now I’ll do anything I need to do to win and that is gonna be trouble for STEVE DAVIDS”
“Are you saying you’d end david’s career from wre…”
For the second time in the interview zi held up his hand, stopping sayors from talking..
“Again let me stop you right there. I’m not just being specific sayors, all I’m saying is I’ll do what it takes to win and end him. davids will had no problems in his mind trying to break my streak in this xtreme rules match, will he? davids will do what he had to do to take me down. and I have to be prepared to do the same steviy, I have to do what I have to in this match, do what I have to do to davids to win and make history. ”
“Well… I guess you really didn’t need me here did you bobby ? So, I’m gonna head. Nice interview”
Before Bobby could even say a word sayors got up and left the gym. bobby shook his head, staying sat down on his bench.
The room was silent, Bobby lost in his thoughts for a moment shook it off and looked back up at the picture of his friend that hung on the wall
“Well powell… I guess it’s gonna be all or nothing. I hope you’ll be watching over me and watching me making fool out of that brat.”
Bobby stands up, nodding at the picture before exiting the gym. He knew what he had to do to win and he was prepared, now more than ever
“I, Bobby zi, am a real man. A real man that will do very real things in order to get the job done at the warfare.”
“steve davids, he’s expecting the same man that was a 'mid-carder', the same man that mark flynn tortured.”
“davids,should go right ahead and expect that. All I can say is that he’s in for a shock, a very real shock.”
