America sat at the monitors and watched.
Watched as his friend and mentor was forced into a technical submission, a loss that shouldn’t have happened. No tap. Fight left in him. Shameful.
The salt in the wound, his title to be put on the line against all retaining champions.
The title around America’s shoulder weighed a little heavier as he heard it. He thought about it all through the night, even as he beat former champion ZMAC down. Even as he watched his friend fight valiantly. Even as he felt the bitter pang of loss as though it was his own.
He didn’t want to fight his friend.
Sure at the heart of it, he did. America was a competitor after all. He loved nothing more than testing his abilities against the best around and he knew truly that Zaigon Carter could be counted as one of the best. He’d thought about it for sure, how one day the two of them would get into that ring and show them what the two best wrestlers in these United States looked like at the peak of their game. May the best man win.
American Champion vs. World Heavyweight Champion.
Best of the best.
Of course he wanted the match.
Of course he was afraid of that match.
Because that’s the match that changes everything.
The second these two men wrestle with something on the line is the second everything changes between them. America Jackson knows that, deep down. Not because he would be angry or upset losing to a friend. That’s happened many times and each and every one he felt nothing but pride.
But if America won…
Injustice.
We’ve worked so hard and yet it still remains in this great country of America. The haves will strive to take from the have nots and we all sit idly by and pretend that it’s justice. Good men have their names smeared with false accusations even as they prepare to sit honourably as Supreme Court Justices. Good, hard working people are fired from their jobs simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. Businesses are boycotted for maintaining their religious ideals.
Still, we struggle onward.
The harder a man works in this country, the more you leeches want to take away from him.
Still he endures.
So before Zaigon Carter and America Jackson have to experience the absolutely cowardly attempt to take the World Title from them and fracture their unit in the doing, what are we faced with?
Vonn Richter, absolute non-entity. I am sure that my employer will have words enough for you and you should feel honoured that he would waste them.
And Victoria Sabin…look, I’m sure you’ve worked really hard to get here but if you think the American Champion is going to worry about a rat with a grudge, I have some news for you.
The sum total of your ambition is what? Getting revenge on Jason Ryan?
You’re chasing the ghost of a failure, which by proxy makes you a failure yourself.
It’s important that you understand, the beating you get on Monday night is both intimately personal and not at all. America Jackson has no issue with you Victoria. America Jackson doesn’t honestly give a fuck that you exist. And that’s the whole problem.
America Jackson is THE American Champion of APW.
So tell me why is he wasting his time IN THE OPENING MATCH AGAINST A FUCKING NOBODY?
APW management has it out for my clients, that’s why.
They hate them for being white men in 2020 who can still go out and kick ass.
They hate them for making promises and keeping them.
They hate them because they earned the top titles in this company in record time.
They hate them because the only thing keeping the tag titles out of their hands is cowardice.
APW hates the Storm because they represent greatness in a place that worships only mediocrity.
But that is just fine.
Because no matter what you throw at them.
No matter how many pathetic fucking nothings need to get destroyed.
No matter how many champions get laid waste.
The Storm.
Is.
America.
They bleed American blood.
They sweat American sweat.
They kick as much ass as all the troops in the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
The Storm are the best wrestlers in America which means they’re the best wrestlers on the fucking planet.
So you can take your plans and you can take your ideas.
You can use every dirty trick to get these titles off them.
The Storm are YOUR American and World Champions.
June 29, 2020 until forever.
And no matter how much you try to cheat them…
They will KEEP making APW great.
Ooh-rah.
