There are two types of "gangster":


1) A wannabe thug, often illiterate and an inhabitant of a downtrodden ghetto that hangs around in "gangs"; largely associated with the African-American subculture. These try-hard wanna be "gangstas" attempt to make themselves appear like real criminals by spray painting graffiti on buildings, smoking/selling drugs and trying to looking all "bad-ass and macho an'-shit, yo". An utter degradation of what true gangsters represent (see below), and street wannabe "gangsta"-types don't hold a candle to what real gangsters are.


2) The *real* gangsters are those behind organised crime; most notably the Mafia. Responsible for black market trade, espionage, organised beatings/assassinations, etc. "The Godfather" portrays the archetype of true gangsters, showing the brutality of mob beatings, shootings, running rackets and abusing woman, alcohol and everything in between. The real gangsters are *not* to be confused with the aforementioned definition, commonly used as it might be.
1) I'm da gangsta in da hood, yo. Bustin' shiznitz an' layin' da cuts straight sittin' on yo ass wiv me Colt 40 and homies, cuttin' back a fat split in me crib, yo.


2) "All right, you just shot 'em both. Now what do you do?"
"Sit down and finish my dinner."





After saying goodbye to Barry Windham, Hank Lane went back up to his room and turned on his laptop. He navigated to the XWF website and was quickly informed of the posts made by John Cena regarding their match. Hank grabbed a bottle of Bud Light out of the small fridge and sat down at his desk. He then pulled his pipe out of the drawer and loaded a bowl of the best green he had seen in years. It was nice and sticky and had a powerful aroma to it.


After taking a couple of good hits and a swig from his beer he turned on his camera. He looked into the lens with hatred in his eyes as he began to speak.


Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Nice job there Cena. It looks like the acting lessons really paid off for you. You call yourself a Gangster? $h!t man, You wouldn't know a gangster if he came up and busted a cap in your sorry @$$. You can talk all you want about my partner and I being bottom feeders but in all reality you know better than that. Your about as pathetic as they come.


He finished his beer and took another hit from his pipe. After grabbing another beer out of the fridge he grabbed the bottle of Jack Daniels he purchased earlier. He sat back down and looked back at the computer.


Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Cena, What made you think that you could actually pull it off being a gangster? You remind me of a guy from the hood everyone called the slickster because he was always talking about how he was G'd up and how he had done this and that. As it turned out I found out the guy was nothing but a phony and I called him on it. The dude tried getting tough and was never seen again. However, His heart was later mailed to the police station. You can talk all the $h!t you want to but when we get you and the old man Flair in that ring the truth will come out.


He took another hit and a drink of Jack before downing the beer. Hank turned back to the camera with a serious look n his face.

There have been a lot of fake @$$ gangsters throughout time. Your not the first one to try and fool everyone. The deal is, I know how to expose those fakes for what they really are and you will be no different. I bet you even think Dr. Dre was a real gangster don't you? A lot of others did also until Eazy-E set his @$$ out. Just like my partner and I will do to you when we get you in the ring. I hope your ready for a beat down like you have never seen before. There is nothing I hate worse than a damn wankster like you. The clock is ticking and soon there will be no escape. The old man flair won't be able to help you. I don't think he had his Geritol lately. See you in the ring bitches.


Hank closed his laptop and grabbed his bottle before kicking back to watch a few videos before it was time to head to the arena.
